Anders Electronics has launched two TFT displays for use in industrial and embedded applications. The addition of the MT24G05G and VGG482704 enables the company to offer a range of industrial TFTs that includes modules in sizes from 2.4-inches to 7-inches. The MT24G05G is based on a 2.4-inch screen size, while the VGG482704 is a drop-in replacement for a certain 4.3-inch, 480 x 272 pixel touch-screen device that is common in satellite navigation and other handheld products, as well as industrial and medical environments. Based on transmissive technology with an LED backlight, the MT24G05G offers RGB resolution of 240 x 320 (QVGA).

 With an on-board controller and 18-bit CPU bus interface, it can display 262,000 colours. The brightness is 250cd/m2 and the contrast ratio 200:1. The VGG482704 also uses transmissive technology, can render 16.7M colours and is controlled via a 24-bit TTL RGB interface. The contrast ratio is 450:1 and the brightness 600 cd/m2. All industrial TFT products are RoHS-compliant, and specified for an operating temperature range of -20 to +70°C.

Green Hills Software’s integrated development environment, MULTI, is now available for Microchip’s 16-bit PIC24 microcontroller (MCU) and dsPIC digital signal controller (DSC) families. The solution consists of the components: MULTI integrated development environment – with DSO tool set for embedded software developers, MPLAB C30 C Compiler, MPLAB REAL ICE Emulator and Microchip PIC24 MCU/dsPIC DSC instruction-set simulator.
