1 Introduction
The Display Xplained module gives the possibility to evaluate a 240 x 320 pixel
(QVGA) graphical RGB TFT display with a 4-wire touch interface and LED
backlight. The display is interfaced with a simple SPI interface to send and receive
commands and data. The Xplain kit provides tested low–level drivers and high-
level functions in order to get the developer quickly up to speed with his application
development.

  • Page 3 AVR1909 The Display Xplained module is quite simple. It basically connects the TFT display SPI interface, resistive touch interface, and backlight interface from a 40pin FPC connector to two female pin-headers that fit the Xplain kit. In addition it has a program/debug interface that will connect an external programmer/debugger to the Xplain kit through a male and a female pin-header.
  • Page 4 3.4 The SPI interface The Display Xplained module uses a simple SPI interface to communicate with the LCD module. This consist of a Chip-Select (CS) line, a clock line (SCL), and two data lines (SDI/SDO). The SPI is operated in mode 3, i.e. inactive clock is ‘high’, and data is latched on rising clock edge.
  • Page 5 J103/J104-9 J103/J104-10 Notes: 1. Standard pin-out for JTAGICE mkII and other Atmel programming tools. 2. Requires adapter or squid cable to connect a JTAGICE mkII (refer to AVR Studio help). 3. It is only required to connect one V3P3/GND pin.
