Driver for
PHILIPS SAA1064 v1.0
Overview
Driver for PHILIPS SAA1064
v1.0 is designed to drive, using I2C protocol, a PHILIPS SAA1064 device that
control four 7-segment displays.
The I2C protocol and the
handling of the I/O signals is implemented in a programmable device (FPGA).
It can control in different
way, with “Expansion boards”, up to 4 SAA1064 devices.
System is composed by 2 parts:
Hardware and Software:
Hardware part is composed by 2
boards:
Ø
“XSA50 Xess Board” uses a XC2S50 Spartan2 Xilinx FPGA.
Ø
“Display Board” that contains Philips SAA1064 device and 4 7-segment
displays.
Software part is composed by
all necessary files to programming FPGA and documentation.
