Renesas offers quick start for QVGA TFT drive design

It combines the R32C/111 starterKit and a TFT-add-on-board developed by Segger.

The R32C/11x group has a maximum operating frequency of 50MHz, which in combination with the enhanced CPU core architecture, delivers an overall processing performance of 42 DMIPS executing code from embedded flash at zero wait.

It also incorporates an on-chip 32-bit multiplier, single-precision floating-point unit (FPU) and 32-bit enhanced barrel shifter for dramatically improved operation processing performance.

The R32C/11x group includes a variety of on-chip peripheral functions, including high-functionality timers and four DMA controller channels, as well as 16ch for PWM generation and measurement. Additional features include nine free scalable USART, 26 channels of 10-bit A/D converter, two 8-bit D/A converter channels and a CRC calculation circuit to reliability.

The combination of Segger’s GUI “emWin” and RTOS “embOS” with the hardware from Renesas is the perfect foundation for the development of an embedded product with QVGA-display-system.

Both middleware products follow Segger’s strict and efficient coding and documentation standards. These standards result in the very small emWin and embOS memory footprints as well as high execution speed and easily readable code. 

The R32C/11x group comes in 64, 80, 100 and 144-pin packages scalable with on-chip Flash memory from 128kB to 1MB and RAM memory from 32kB to 63kB.
