Introduction
E-paper Timing Controller Solutions provide timing controller (TCon) functionalities for Pervasive Dis-
plays' large size panels (4.41″ and 7.4″). Solution for each of the panels provides identical functional-
ity, command set and physical interface. Offered as a chip only (Timing Controller – TC) or as fully-as-
sembled PCB module (Timing Controller Module – TCM), the solution allows a quick and easy integra-
tion with your host system, minimizing the cost and time-to-market.
TCon (as well as TCM) can be connected to a host microsystem via fast and reliable Serial Peripheral
Interface (SPI). TCon is controlling both the source and gate drivers, composing waveforms required to
generate high quality images on the display.

NOTE
TCM features solder pads for overvoltage protection 3.6 V Zener diode (D11). The diode is
by default not mounted to limit the TCM current consumption. If required, the diode can be
mounted in the designated spot at the Customer's own account. The diode placement is
marked orange on the figures 2.2 and 2.3. MpicoSys recommends using BZX384 3V6
diode. This will increase the average current consumption by 1 mA during all operations.
