STM32L051R + GLASS LCD low power scheme

Hello !

We are working in a project that needs a glass lcd display, the average consumption of the system (MCU + LCD) must be around 50 uA. I always used a msp430 with integrated lcd controller to handle this kind of problems. But now I am very tempted to use a STM32L051R mainly due to the costs and performance.

Anyone here already tried this?

I read the AN2656 and noticed that is possible to interface a glass lcd with the stm32. But the average consumption in this application note was too high.

Save time and money, using the more expensive STM32L053R.

That MCU has builtin LCD driver .

I used the LCD driver of STM32L152 (the discovery board) and reached a mean current draw of 6µA. This solution has less software, which means less current, and less bugs ! Certainly the fastest way to build whatever you are building.

Oh ! Thank you ! , didnt know that st had a stm32 with integrated lcd controller.
