Making in-roads into the ever competitive character LCD market are Bolymin’s serial multi-interface modules, serial communication is fastly becoming popular for embedded displays and systems. Currently the three popular protocols are UART/RS232 (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter), SPI (Serial peripheral Interface) and I²C (Inter Integrated Circuit). Bolymin’s engineering team have incorporated all these serial interface connections into a single display enabling designers and engineers to take advantage of the simplicity of serial communcication, they are also able to offer a USB (Universal Serial Bus) as an option.
Character formats available are 16×1 (BC1601AI), 16×2 (BC1602AI), 16×2 large character (BC1602EI), 20×2 (BC2002AI), 20×2 large character (BC2002BI), 16×4 (BC1604AI), 20×4 (BC2004AI), 24×2 (BC2402AI), 40×2 (BC4002AI) and 40×4 (BC4004AI).
