Serial interface IC has 50+ languages and 37 font tables
Newhaven Display International¡¯s new line of Multi-Font Displays feature an additional serial interface IC that has 50+ languages and 37 font tables. This Multi-Font IC contains ASCII, Unicode, and ISO8859 tables for flexibility and compatibility. The fonts featured are either fixed width or proportional width and can be read at a clock rate up to 30 MHz. When using this new display line, the user¡¯s MPU can communicate directly with this Multi-Font IC to read the font data strings and then out put the desired character onto the display. Using just a 4 wire SPI Interface, the selected font data is read in vertical structured bytes from the Multi-Font IC and is sent out to the display¡¯s controller.
The Multi-Font Display technology will be offered as select Graphic Display Family Groups and will be released in series starting with Newhaven Display International, Inc.¡¯s Graphic OLED Displays.
