CFA635 Serial Family

All CFA635 displays are scheduled for End of Life. Customers who purchase CFA635 displays should learn about migrating to the new CFA735 family of displays, which are designed to be compatible with the CFA635.

LED backlit STN 20x4 LCD
Integrated LED backlit 6-button translucent silicon keypad with screened legend
Four bi-color (red + green) LEDs. The LEDs’ brightness can controlled by the host software, which allows mixing the LEDs to produce other colors (yellow and orange)
Current shipping hardware: v1.1
Current shipping firmware: s1.6
Three color options:
- Yellow-green backlit positive mode LCD, yellow/green keypad backlight ("YYE")
- White backlit negative mode LCD, blue keypad backlight ("TMF")
- White backlit positive mode LCD, white keypad backlight ("TFE")
Fully decoded keypad: any key combination is valid and unique
LCD characters are contiguous in both X and Y directions to allow the host software to display "gapless" bar graphs in horizontal or vertical directions
Serial interface (115200 baud equivalent throughput)
- KS and KS1 supports full swing RS-232 with CFARS-232 daughter board
- KL supports 0 -5v logic level serial
Robust packet based communications protocol with 16-bit CRC
Compact size: fits in a 1U rack mount case (37mm overall height)
ATX power supply control functionality allows the buttons on the CFA-635 to replace the "power" and "reset" buttons on your system, simplifying your front panel design (requires additional cables or hardware).
Built-in factory re-programmable microcontroller
Non-volatile memory capability ("EEPROM"):
- Customize the "power-on" display and LED settings
- 16-byte "scratch" register for storing IP, netmask, system serial number
Available with USB interface

Date Issued:	October 6, 2011
Summary:	End of Life announcement: CFA635 family of Intelligent Modules.
Last revision:	HW: v1.1, FW: v1.6
Description:	Effective immediately, Crystalfontz America, Inc is announcing the End of Life (EOL) for the CFA635 family of modules. The CFA635 is a character based intelligent LCD module built around a Cypress PsoC® micro-controller and a Samsung S6A0073 LCD controller. Samsung announced the EOL of the S6A0073 at the end of 2007. After the announcement, Crystalfontz America, Inc began designing a replacement module and planned for continuing to manufacture and support the CFA635 family until a compatible replacement module was designed and available. REVISED: 2011-12-15
Reason:	As part of our continuous improvement process, the engineering services group at Crystalfontz America Inc. is announcing the End of Life (EOL) to our CFA635 family of modules. This end of life is scheduled to take place at the end of 2012 Q2. The CFA635 is being replaced with the first of a new generation of intelligent modules from Crystalfontz America, Inc. This new module is the CFA735 family. The CFA735 family has been primarily designed to be a replacement for the CFA635 family with a number of enhancements / improvements.
Impact:	This announcement impacts all variants, interfaces, and part numbers that currently use the CFA635 family of modules. The CFA635 family is not recommended for new designs.
Recommendation:	Continue to order and build with the CFA635 as required by schedules. Plan on making transition to the CFA735 family of modules when available. To obtain more information on the CFA635 family replacement, the CFA735 family, please send an email to support@crystalfontz.com. We will provide you the following when available: preliminary datasheet notification of the initial run of CFA735 modules notice of any updates or changes to the CFA735
Availability:	Q4 2011: Pilot run of CFA735 family available CFA735 New product announcement Q1 2012: Final shipments of CFA635 from partner factory Q2 2012: CFA635 begins phase out and inventory draw down Last CFA635 orders accepted Production level shipments of CFA735 start Q3 2012: CFA635 inventory purged CFA735 fully replaces CFA635
Price Change:	There is no scheduled price change to the CFA635 family at this time. Pricing will be reviewed on a monthly basis.

Date Issued:	June 6, 2010
Summary:	Keypad height change
Description:	Over the next 6 months or so, we will be transitioning to a keypad that is 1.5mm taller than the keypad currently shipping on these modules.
Reason:	We have found that in all cases that we are aware of, the keypad being 1.5mm taller will alleviate some customer difficulties.
Recommendation:	If you need the keypad to remain the same height for your application, please email support@crystalfontz.com so that we can set aside some of the shorter keypads for your company's application.
Availability:	~0-6 months.
Price Change:	None.

Date Issued:	April 10, 2010
Summary:	Firmware change
Description:	Firmware / reset circuit change from v1.4 to v1.6
Reason:	To make LCD module less sensitive to supply variations
Impact:	Range checking on command 0 is corrected. Parameter checking on command 20 is corrected. Module will return "CFA635:h1.1,v1.6" for command 1.
