LCD interfacing with ADSP-2181

Started by Girish June 21, 2004
Hai all,

I need the hardware details of how to interface a LCD
(2x16) nibble mode with ADSP-2181 processor.

Like pin details. How to write the data using
ADSP-2181 from IO memory to LCD et.c

I saw only one document tht i found some wht useful
from AD site but tht not too fully.

where can i get example programe of writing the data
using LCD.

In Ez-kit wht all things are data pins.how can i
determine the pins as there is no marking like
pin1,pin2,............. and so on.

Also which are data pins , control pins ?

regards
Girish

Howdy Girish,

The best place to start is at an LCD manufacturer's web site.
They all use the same interface so they can compete with each
other for drop in replacement. You might need some glue logic
but it won't be much - a chip select from some address decoder
and the read and write lines are all you need along with 4
data lines. Start with the LCD side and see what you've got
on the EZ kit that will map to it. Should be pretty easy.

Your real problem will be timing. The DSP is probably way too
fast. So make sure you know what the LCD timing requirements
are and set up your glue logic to meet it.

Patience, persistence, truth,
Dr. mike



I have interfaced 16 x 2 LCDs to a 2181. You need to either use the IO
ports directly (not the data bus) or use something like a 74574 to create
ports from the data bus. You can not add enough wait states to be slow
enough for an LCD module. You should also use buffers if the LCD is far
from the DSP (perhaps connected via a long ribbon cable).
