Feature Descriptions
LCD Character Display (16 x 2)
[Figure 1-2, callout 19]
A 2-line by 16-character display is provided on the VC707 board (Figure 1-19).
The character display runs at 5.0V and is connected to the FPGA's 1.8V HP bank 15
through a TI TXS0108E 8-bit bidirectional voltage level translator (U33). Figure 1-20 shows
the LCD interface circuit.
