Controller Board and Chip Solutions

Amulet Technologies offers standard embedded hardware solutions,  including chips and universal LCD controller boards. Our hardware is designed to help you achieve your product design goals. With Amulet, your product goes from GUI design to production seamlessly.

Controller Board Solutions

GEMexpressII (GCC-2) is a production ready universal display driver board for TFT and OLED displays. This plug-and-play display controller board can interface to displays from various manufacturers and works seamlessly with Amulet’s GEMstudio Pro™ software, allowing for greater design flexibility and a shorter time-to-market.

There is much less engineering work when integrating an embedded user interface using a GEMexpress II board compared to the traditional approach of designing in an LCD controller chip, thus designers save a lot of time and cut costs. Designers can be in production as fast as choosing a display and integrating it with a board that meets their display and embedded user interface design requirements.

Monochrome Solutions

Amulet’s monochrome display modules and chips are part of our legacy solutions available to existing customers. Although Amulet does not have plans to obsolete the products, we recommend our newer display modules and chips for new designs.

The 5.7” Amulet OnBoard™ (AOB) Module is a fully integrated, monochrome display that is ready for production. Amulet’s Graphical OS Chip and all the other parts to drive the LCD are mounted directly to the PCB. AOB modules are available in threedisplay types and include an integrated touch panel, white LED backlight and an 8megabit serial data flash chip for storing µHTMLT pages. Included is on-board circuitry that allows the contrast and backlight to be programmed via HTML. This feature provides many options. For example, you can have the user control the backlight through on-screen graphics, or program the GUI to turn off the backlight during periods of inactivity, or even restore backlight and contrast from FLASH presets upon power-up. Modules are RoHS compliant.

Amulet’s Graphical OS Chips for monochrome LCDs

Enables OEMs and design firms to seamlessly take their products to the next level by implementing interactive GUIs built with easy drag-and-drop design tools. Our monochrome chips include a built-in royalty-free Graphical Operating System. Amulet has partnered with hundreds of OEMs saving them time and money while helping them go from ordinary push buttons, knobs and LEDs to distinctive graphical user interfaces that set them apart from the competition.

(AGB64LV01-QC-E) 

The monochrome chip (an ASIC) is a combination microprocessor, LCD controller, and graphics library. It renders GUI pages containing graphic images, Amulet Widgets, and other UI objects directly to the LCD. This allows an embedded micro to do its job more efficiently. Thus, the main application can run on a smaller processor with less RAM and ROM. Graphical user interface pages are quickly and easily created using off-the-shelf HTML editors.
