DESCRIPTION

· The Amulet Easy GUI Browser Chip is a specialized microcontroller optimized for executing Amulet's GUI kernel and component-based GUI firmware.

· It combines an LCD controller chip and a user interface chip, eliminating the need for complex code to draw each pixel on an LCD.

· The chip renders GUI pages containing graphic images, Amulet Widgets, and other UI objects directly to the LCD, allowing embedded microcontrollers to operate more efficiently.

· This enables the main application to run on a smaller processor with less RAM and ROM, significantly reducing code development and maintenance time.

FEATURES

· Dedicated GUI Chip: Manages the GUI, interacts with the user, and controls the LCD.

· 3.3V Power Supply: Ensures stable operation.

· Serial Flash: Recommended Atmel 4 Megabit for storage.

· Asynchronous SRAM: Minimum 128Kx8 for efficient data handling.

· Clock/Crystal: Supports up to 20 MHz for timing.

· HTML-Based GUI Creation: Utilizes drag-and-drop HTML tools for quick design and editing.

· Compiler Included: Converts HTML, JPEG, and GIF into small, quickly executable Amulet HTML pages.

· Processor Independent: Easily interfaces with most microcontrollers (8/16/32-bit and DSPs).

· Replaces Traditional GUI Library: No library porting, complex GUI programming, or RTOS required.

· RS232 Interface: Supports data rates up to 115,200 bps.

APPLICATIONS

· Embedded Systems: Ideal for devices requiring efficient GUI management with minimal processor resources.

· User Interface Development: Simplifies the creation and maintenance of graphical user interfaces.

· LCD Display Control: Directly renders GUI elements to LCD screens, freeing up the main microcontroller for other tasks.
