Driving Methods¶
Info
The eTC is our special and former generation technology. Contact us if you need this model.
Danger
All of the screens, boards and kits use 3.3V power and logic. DO NOT operate with 5V.
| Driving Method | iTC | eTC |
|---|---|---|
| EPD with host board |  |
|
| Waveform Location |  |
 |
| Driving Waveform | Embedded in driver IC (CoG) | Controlled by MCU |
| Customization / Design Flexibility | Normal | Higher |
| Design-in Effort | Easier | Normal |
| Power Consumption | Normal | Lower |
| Notes | The driving waveforms (LUTs, lookup tables) have been pre-programmed in the driver IC. Developers just need to send image data and update command to complete the screen refresh. If developers need special support to change the waveforms, extra LUTs can be sent externally. |
Following our driving guide, developers can fully control the driving flow and stage from the MCU. Developers need to send converted image data at each specific stage.* Unordered lists, and: |
