From PLED to MOP
Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2008 3:55 pm
As PLEDs have gone by the wayside I am in the process of redesigning for an LCD. Specifically I am looking at either the MOP AL162A-BTTY (16x2) or the AL202-BFTW (20x2). So naturally I have some questions about this.
1. Is the S6A0069 truly software compatable with the HA44780? Truly?
2. The AL162A-BTTY lists 10ma current and 5ma for the backlight. Yet the AL202C-BFTW lists only 5ma current with the backlight current N/A. Why the difference? Does this mean that the display in the photo is shown with no backlight?
3. The manual for the AL202 does give no backlight as an option, but there is no part number breakdown given for correlation. Any info on the part numbering system?
