## Description

TIMI-96 is a breadboard-compatible display development module designed to make electronics testing, prototyping and education quicker and neater. It can be used stand-alone, driven by a host, tethered to a PC, or built into development projects.The module combines a 0.96” TFT LCD with a PIXXI-28 graphics processor from 4D Labs, wrapped in a metal frame so the display can be viewed from a range of angles. Its 160×80 RGB display supports 65K vivid colours and is well suited to simulated readouts, meters and simple user interfaces.Connection is via the BBM MatesBus: two rows of 5 pins on a breadboard-friendly 0.1” (2.54mm) pitch, spaced 0.3” (7.62mm) apart. The main interface is a 3.3V level asynchronous serial UART, with three GPIO available for digital or analogue input, digital output, controller I2C communication or PWM audio output.TIMI-96 can be oriented in Portrait, Landscape, Portrait Reversed or Landscape Reversed modes. Its natural upside-down ‘T’ layout is designed to sit at the bottom of a breadboard, close to the user, while leaving the upper breadboard area free for parts and wiring. Documentation includes the TIMI-96 Datasheet, Programmer Datasheet and Mates Studio.Features:Breadboard compatible: MatesBus pinout plugs directly into breadboards, adapters or development boards.Flexible operation: Usable as a stand-alone controller, host-driven peripheral or tethered test instrument.Multiple orientations: Supports Portrait, Landscape, Portrait Reversed and Landscape Reversed positions.GPIO functions: GPIO can be used for digital or analogue inputs, digital outputs, controller I2C communication or PWM audio output.Development aid: Designed to simulate component readouts and meters for breadboard and electronic development.Specifications:Product: TIMI-96Graphics processor: Powered by 4D Labs Pixxi-28 Graphics Processor.Display: 160×80 pixel resolution TFT LCD (non-touch).Serial interface: 3.3V (5V tolerant) serial UART interface (300 to 2187500 Baud).I2C interface: Controller I2C (3.3V level) interface bus.GPIO: 3 GPIO (3.3V level): 2 analog or I2C, 1 PWM Audio.Flash memory: 16MB Flash Memory.Processor flash memory: 32KB of Processor Flash Memory.Processor SRAM: 14KB of Processor SRAM for User Variables.Supply input: 5Vdc supply input (3.3V possible).Power output: Dedicated 3.3V 500mA power output for User.Pin headers: Breadboard compatible pin headers (0.1” / 2.54mm).Compliance: RoHS and REACH compliant.PCB flammability rating: PCB is UL 94V-0 Flammability Rated.Weight: Weight approx. 5.0 grams.A useful display module for engineers, hobbyists and students who want a compact breadboard display for readouts, meters and interface experiments.

**Product Type:** Display Development Module
