Overview

This application note details a display demo application using the NXP i.MX RT700 crossover microcontroller and the PCA9422 PMIC. The design features a 1.2-inch circular AMOLED MIPI DSI display and external HyperRAM for frame buffer storage. The document describes the system architecture, including the integration of the Vector Graphics Processing Unit (VGPU), LCD Interface (LCDIF), and MIPI DSI Controller. It provides a technical breakdown of power domains and power supplies, specifically evaluating power consumption across VDD2, VDD1V8_MIPI, and PANEL_VCC5V0 rails. Detailed information is provided on entering and managing various low-power states such as Deep Sleep and Deep Sleep Retention (DSR) using the onboard Power Management Controller and external PMIC.

Use Cases

  • Smart watches
  • Wearable display devices
  • Battery-operated handheld electronics
  • Low-power embedded HMI systems
