ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY designed the EA DIP203-4 LCD module for applications where the display has to be clearly legible. The module comes with a high-contrast alphanumeric super-twist LCD for showing 4 20-character lines. LED background lighting supplied as a standard feature makes the text stand out clearly.
The dot -matrix display is available in 3 versions. Users can choose between black text on a yellow/green background, white text on a blue background or black on white. Automatic temperature compensation eliminates the need for contrast readjustment.
The onboard SSD1803 controller is 90% compatible with the widely-used HD44780 controller. The built-in character set provides 240 letters, numbers and symbols, and users can define an additional 8 characters. The controller has a high-speed SPI interface. A 4- and 8 -bit data bus interface is also available as an alternative.
The EA DIP203-4 is designed to make handling very easy during the manufacturing process. No mechanical assembly is necessary. The module is simply inserted into the PCB and soldered in place.
The display is powered from a single 3. 3V input. A  150mA constant current source is needed for the LED lighting on the green/yellow version or a  45mA on the blue/white and black/white versions. The large operating temperature  range (-20 to +70°C) makes the display ideal for a variety of industrial applications.
Other versions of the display in the same housing with the same pinout can also be supplied. Users can choose 1x8 or 2x16 character dot -matrix displays or full -graphics version with 122x32 pixels.
