The QT160 IC is a self-contained digital QTouch chip capable of six channels of proximity or touch sensing.
The microVGA's clever video signal circuitry offers a choice of 64 or 256 colours for graphics, text characters and screen background.
Programming commands can perform a multitude of tasks rapidly, supplying high quality images with remarkable results.
Specifically designed to be user-friendly and cost effective, the microVGA's resolution from 256 x 200 to 640 x 480 pixel (VGA) makes the standard built-in 128 character ASCII character set (fonts in 5 x 7 or 8 x 8 format) clearly visible for most situations.
System designers can add 64 user-defined (8 x 8) bit-mapped characters.
The microVGA has either a USB, TTL or RS232 serial interface with auto baud rate detection for speeds from 300baud to 115.2Kbaud.
Requiring a 5V 100mA supply, the microVGA measures 50 x 35 x 10mm.
Variants with higher and lower resolution are also available.
The microVGA-640/480/256 is available now from stock at $139.00 each from Saelig.
