The TWR-LCD Graphical LCD module provides an easy way for designers to add LCD interface to their Tower System designs. It features a 3.2" QVGA TFT LCD display and attaches to the outer edge of the Tower System elevator modules (TWR-ELEV) by side expansion port connectors. This peripheral module is designed to be combined and used with other MCU and peripheral modules in the Tower System.

The TWR-LCD features a 3.2" QVGA TFT LCD Display with touch sensitive overlay, 5-way navigation control, MicroSD Card slot, dedicated MCF51JM microcontroller, and a Piezo Buzzer for audible feedback. The LCD utilizes a 240 RGB x 320 QVGA display controller. The LCD Display Controller is accessible to the dedicated MCF51JM microcontroller through the SPI. The LCD Display Controller is also accessible to any capable Tower MCU module utilizing either the SPI or the EBI.

The TWR-LCD can be powered as a standalone device from the Mini-B USB connector. The TWR-LCD can also be powered from a source in an assembled Tower System via the 5.0V supply on the TWR-ELEV Side Expansion Port. When attached to a Tower Elevator board, it is required that the board be externally powered from the Elevator board; additionally the USB connector on the TWR-LCD can still be used to communicate over USB to the on-board MCF51JM MCU. On-board power regulation will provide the necessary core voltage (3.3V) and backlight driver voltage (15.5V).
