Note:

1. The module hardware supports 8-bit and 16-bit parallel port data bus mode switching (as sho wn by the red box in Picture 1 ab ove), as follows:

   • Solder R1 with 0Ω resistor or short circuit directly, and disconnect R2:
     Select 16-bit parallel port data bus mode, use D1~D8, D10~D17 data pins

   • Solder R2 with 0Ω resistor or short circuit directly, and disconnect R1:
     Select 8-bit parallel port data bus mode, use D10~D17 data pins

Important Note:

1. The following pin numbers 1~34 are the pin number of Module pin with PCB backplane of our company. If you purchase a bare screen, please refer to the pin definition of the bare screen specification, refer to the wiring according to the signal type instead of directly Wire according to the following module pin numbers. For example: CS is 1 pin on our module. It may be x pin on different size bare screen.
2. About VCC supply voltage: If you buy a module with PCB backplane, VCC/VDD power supply can be connected to 5V or 3.3V (module has integrated ultra low dropout 5V to 3V circuit), but it is recommended to connect 3.3V, because connecting 5V will lead to circuit Increased heat generation, affecting module life; if you buy a bare screen LCD, remember to only connect 3.3V.
3. About the backlight voltage: The module with the PCB backplane has integrated triode backlight control circuit, which only needs to input the high level of the BL pin or the PWM wave to illuminate the backlight. If you are buying a bare screen, the LEDAx is connected to 3.0V-3.3V and the LEDKx is grounded.

Working principle

Introduction to ILI9341 Controller
The ILI9341 controller supports a maximum resolution of 240*320 and has a 172800-byte GRAM. It also supports 8-bit, 9-bit, 16-bit, and 18-bit parallel port data buses. It also supports 3-wire and 4-wire SPI serial ports. Since the supported resolution is relatively large and the amount of data transmitted is large, the parallel port transmission is adopted, and the transmission speed is fast. ITI9341 also supports 65K, 262K RGB color display, display color is very rich, while supporting rotating display and scroll display and video playback, display in a variety of ways.
The ILI9341 controller uses 16bit (RGB565) to control a pixel display, so it can display up to 65K colors per pixel. The pixel address setting is performed in the order of rows and columns, and the incrementing and decreasing direction is determined by the scanning mode. The ILI9341 display method is performed by setting the address and then setting the color value.

Introduction to parallel port communication
The parallel port communication write mode timing is as shown below:

The timing of the parallel port communication read mode is shown in the figure below:

CSX is a chip select signal for enabling and disabling parallel port communication, active low
RESX is an external reset signal, active low
D/CX is the data or command selection signal, 1-write data or command parameters, 0-write command
WRX is a write data control signal
RDX is a read data control signal
D[X:0] is a parallel port data bit, which has four types: 8-bit, 9-bit, 16-bit, and 18-bit.
When performing a write operation, on the basis of the reset, first set the data or command selection signal, then pull the chip select signal low, then input the content to be written from the host, and then pull the write data control signal low. When pulled high, data is written to the LCD control IC on the rising edge of the write control signal. Finally, the chip select signal is pulled high and a data write operation is completed.
When entering the read operation, on the basis of the reset, first pull the chip select signal low, then pull the data or command select signal high, then pull the read data control signal low, and then read the data from the LCD control IC. And then The read data control signal is pulled high, and the data is read out on the rising edge of the read data control signal. Finally, the chip select signal is pulled high, and a data read operation is completed.
