EPD Extension Kit Gen 3

The EXT3 extension kit and evaluation board offers support for Pervasive Displays entire range of iTC ultra-low-power e-paper displays for industrial, commercial, and retail applications, along with extensive software libraries to help reduce customers’ engineering efforts. The EXT3 provides a simple way to achieve these design objectives. It provides a convenient way to interface a host microcontroller and optional touch-sensitive panel to any of Pervasive Displays’ e-ink displays that use its internal timing controller (iTC) technology. This covers its black/white and the black/white/red displays available in multiple screen sizes and dimensions, from the 1.54" Aurora to the 12" Spectra.

The EXT3 also comes with open-source software resources, allowing design teams to evaluate all Pervasive Displays’ iTC-based displays. This helps developers find the right solution for their application by providing a quick and simple way of connecting the display to the EXT3. On board, the EXT3 includes a 1 Mbyte / 8 Mbit Flash memory and an expansion pad for adding additional memory (Flash or RAM) if the application requires it. This enables engineers to accelerate their design cycle and arrive at the most optimal MCU/memory/display combination for their application.
