5 Things To Consider When Incorporating A Display Into Your Embedded Design

Adopting a total-cost approach, including the savings from the reduced design time as well as the benefits of faster time to market, may fundamentally favour the use of off-the-shelf modules over discrete design. Below the 5 factors to consider when choosing between discrete design or off-the-shelf modules:

1. The impact on the MCU resources. The choice of MCU is driven primarily by the computing and interfacing needs of the embedded application with an LCD
2. The length and complexity of the design cycle. The off-the-shelf approach can significantly reduce the overall design time of the embedded system
3. A quality display module will be supported by development tools. Professional developers can use the IDE, writing their own code in the graphical programming language with full libraries
4. Product time to market. The use of an off-the-shelf module can significantly reduce time-to-market by reducing the 4 to 6-month design cycle often required for discrete implementations
5. Total product cost. Adopting a total-cost approach, including the benefits of faster time to market may fundamentally favour the use of off-the-shelf modules over discrete design
