Renesas offers the RH850/D1M microcontroller (MCU) and RAA27884x VSP LCD controller to generate 2D instrument cluster graphics that can be displayed on a variety of LCD panels with different resolutions. The reference design allows users to generate the cluster graphics in a single resolution and scale it with the RAA27884x's scaling engine to fit different LCD panels, thus minimizing the software and graphics design work for re-use in different car models.
System Benefits
- Less software work to support multiple display resolutions with a single design
- Generate cluster graphics in one resolution with the RH850 MCU, then easily scale to different resolutions using the RAA278840 LCD controller
- Primary cluster graphics made for an 8-inch LCD panel at 1280x480 resolution
- Uses the RAA278840 LCD controller to upscale the graphics to 1920x720 to support an upgrade option to a 12.3 inch panel for premium trim vehicle models
- Utilizes the RAA278840 LCD controller for ""fast-boot"" to display tell-tale lamps at ignition (<500ms to display OSD through the RAA278840), allowing the MCU software time to boot up properly
- Optimized power management ICs for the camera and ECU
