66mm wide display can handle loads of information

The display supports both SPI and I²C communication protocols, and the SSD1803A on-board controller virtually eliminates the need for additional programming, reducing the workload for developers. Because users have the choice of three different character sets (European, English-Japanese and Cyrillic), equipment configured with these displays is suitable for most of the world’s major markets. Flexibility is another key feature of the EA DOGM204-A family. The display modules can be combined with three different backlighting colors.

The displays run on a single 3.3 V supply, supporting state-of-the-art design and reducing the cost of circuit infrastructure. Typical power consumption is only 250 µA, and the additional load for LED backlighting can be as low as 3 mA. There is no need for complex assembly during production because the displays can simply be soldered directly to the PCB, eliminating the need for mounting hardware. A thickness of only 2 mm supports ultra-slim design. Even with optional LED backlighting, the display is only 5.8 mm thick.

A USB test board which can be connected to a Windows PC is available for developers. Various sample applications and software can be downloaded free of charge.
