(Huntsville, Alabama — March 21, 2013)
Future Design’s new µEZ® GUI 4.3” is a compact, highly integrated, Touch LCD controller platform that can be quickly and easily integrated into your product. The newest revision in the µEZ GUI Family, the uEZGUI-1788-43WQR is based on the LPC1788 microprocessor from NXP and has 8MB (optional up to 32MB) of SDRAM and 8MB (optional up to 16MB) of NOR Flash. The unit includes a 4.3” WQVGA TFT LCD from Sharp, with dimensions for the complete assembly of 4.6″ x 2.84″ X 0.51″ tall. On board features include USB Host/Device, micro SD memory card, Real-Time Clock with Super Cap backup, 3-axis accelerometer, speaker, temperature sensor and mini JTAG connector. The unit features a fully integrated 4-wire resistive touchscreen with integrated LED backlight driver and control circuit. The unit also supports the addition of an Expansion Board for additional communication interface options like USB Host, Ethernet, RS485, and RS232 support.
The kit is based on FDI’s µEZ® Rapid Development Platform (pronounced “Muse”), which includes an extensive library of open-source software, drivers, and processor support, all under a common framework. μEZ development works on the premise of “design once, reuse many times.” μEZ allows companies to focus on innovation and on their own value-added applications while minimizing development time and maximizing software reuse.
The kit includes a Segger J-Link Lite JTAG debugger and a demo version of the powerful Segger emWin GUI software development package along with all cables and a stylus for the touchscreen. All documentation is included on the 2GB micro SD card and when the unit is plugged into a PC the card appears as a USB Flash drive so the documentation can easily be copied to the PC. The unit is also available as a stand-alone board assembly, for cost effective use in volume applications, under Part Number uEZGUI-1788-43WQR-BA. Volume pricing for the –BA assembly is around $125.00 at 1Ku. Both the Dev Kit and the cost effective Board Assembly are available through any of our franchised distributors including Avnet Embedded, Digi-Key and Mouser.
