Problem with CFAF240400D-030T-CB

ADRIAN BARRANCO · Dec 4, 2012

Hello, I have a CFAF240400D-030T-CB, I tried to use the demostration code that comes with the product, but I cant see anything in the display, I´m using a freescale demoqe128 microcontroller. I read that the "IM0" "IM1" and "IM2" for the 8, 9, 16 and 18 bit mode pins are wrong in the datasheet.
I´m using PTFD for one data bus, and for the other PTAD (bits 1,2,3,6,7) and PTBD (bits 0,4,5).
This is the code that Im using:

Code:

#include <hidef.h> /* for EnableInterrupts macro */
#include "derivative.h" /* include peripheral declarations */
#include "stdint.h"
void LCD_test();
void delay(unsigned int t);

void display_rgb(unsigned int data);

I have the prior version of this display (CFAF240400D-T), which I have working in a test jig. Your code looks very similar to mine, except for the I/O port assignments, of course.

Explain more about how you are connected to IM0, IM1, and IM2, and what value are you setting those pins to. I'm not familiar with your cpu and the port control registers, and your port settings are somewhat cryptic. Where did you read about the mode pins in the SPFD5420A being "wrong" in the datasheet? (I'm wondering if this might be something I wrote, as I have a vague memory of one of these TFT displays having that issue, but I don't remember which one.)

Three ideas come to mind:
1. a wiring problem, such that the display is not receiving the signals you think you are sending.
2. wrong mode selected (perhaps).
3. cpu speed too high, resulting in write timings & pulse width being too short.

Need more info to suggest further.
Do you have a way to verify your signal/data wiring (o'scope)?

I checked my data using a logic analyzer, it is correct. My CPU is running at 4Mhz, and the delay times seems to be ok.
I connected the "IM" at all the posibles ways: "000" ,"001","010","011","100","101","110" and "111", and all of them result in the same, it didn´t worked. The data sheet says "IM0(ID), IM1(IM0), IM2(IM1), what does that means? IM1 is connected to IM0? I can´t understand that.
In this post I read the discrepancy between the CFA data sheet and the SPFD5420 data sheet, check out the 11 coment. https://forum.crystalfontz.com/showthread.php?6656-CFAF240400DT-initialization
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

I checked my data using a logic analyzer, it is correct.

I wonder whether you measured at the cpu outputs or the display inputs. What matters is which pins are receiving the signals in the display board.

The data sheet says "IM0(ID), IM1(IM0), IM2(IM1), what does that means? IM1 is connected to IM0? I can´t understand that. In this post I read the discrepancy between the CFA data sheet and the SPFD5420 data sheet, check out the 11 coment. https://forum.crystalfontz.com/showthread.php?6656-CFAF240400DT-initialization Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

Yeah, that is the old post I was thinking of, and it refers to datasheets that are now obsolete, I think, because I don't see any text which says "IM0(ID), IM1(IM0), IM2(IM1)".

The next question is whether you noticed that the data connections are this:
8 bit: DB10 - DB17
16 bit: DB10 - DB17 (high byte) and DB1 - DB8 (low byte)
DB0 and DB9 are not used in these modes

In my code, which works in both 8 bit and 16 bit modes has these mode bits (which are different from the datasheet):
8 bit: IM2-IM1-IM0 = 001
16 bit: IM2-IM1-IM0 = 011
I have those bits on an I/O port so I can switch between modes in software.

If this info does not help your problem, then it suggests a subtle error somewhere. I am assuming there is no power or signal voltage level problems, and that there is a good ground connection between boards, and no noise/crosstalk.
