Data Brief
STEVAL-CBP004V1
The system design focus is in the key areas of
standby management feature for low power
consumption. The system can operate using front
panel keys or remote control
Description
This front panel demonstration board is based on
the STFPC311 front panel controller and
microcontroller ST72F264 as the SPI master. The
basic idea is to develop a front panel for DVD
recorders which is very close to the available
solutions in the market while displaying the
capabilities of ST's front panel controller/driver
STFPC311 to fit the market segment of front
panel of DVD players, DVD recorders, VCR, home
theater systems with clock feature, HTiB (home
theater in a box), personal video recorders
(PVRs), set-top boxes and other applications that
require a compact, integrated solution, keeping
the system cost as low as possible.
