Description
The CFA835 product series are intelligent graphic LCD modules that offer USB and Serial interface, 6 button keypad, 4 status LED's and 5 GPIO.
Key Features- Versatile and reliable packet based communications with set of 61 commands simplifies programming for your particular application.
- Commands include tools to draw lines, rectangles, and circles. For example, create a chart to display temperature fluctuations over time.
- Five GPIOs can be used to control other devices or can be configured for optional ATX functionality.
- Only a single supply is needed. Wide power supply voltage range (VDD= +3.3v to +5.0v) is perfect for embedded systems.
- Made for the demands of a commercial environment, temperature operating range is 20°C to +70°C.
- The 12:00 o'clock viewing direction ensures optimal viewing for your products viewed at or below eye level.
- Fully decoded 6-button keypad allows key combinations. Large translucent silicone keys are responsive.
- Edge-lit backlight with 12 LEDs, 6 per side.
- Adjustable backlight and contrast. Backlight and contrast are fully voltage regulated over the power supply range.
- Front of display has four bicolor (red + green) LED status lights. For example, green could indicate "acceptable speed" while yellow-orange indicates "heavy usage, slow".
- Add multiple optional CFA-FBSCABs to customize your order for temperature sensing and fan controls (up to 256 temperature sensors and 64 fans).
- Easily integrate the CFA835 into your design with choice to two types of optional mounting brackets.
- Attractive stainless steel bezel or select from 4 overlay colors when used with a bracket.

Part Change Notice #10959: As part of our continuous improvement program, the CFA735 and CFA835 series displays are being revised.
| Products Affected: | CFA735-TFK-KR, CFA735-TFK-KT, CFA735-TML-KR, CFA735-TML-KT, CFA735-YYK-KR, CFA735-YYK-KT, CFA835-TML, CFA835-TFK, CFA835-YYK |
| Date Issued: | July 12, 2018 |
| Summary: | As part of our continuous improvement program, the CFA735 and CFA835 series displays are being revised. |
| Description: | Components have been updated to ensure the long-term availability of the modules. The LCD glass used has been changed to improve contrast. |
| Availability: | Samples will be available in November 2018. Last time buys of the current design may be made until January 2019. |
Part Change Notice #10669: CFA635, CFA735, and CFA835 displays with ATX (power on / off / reset) functionality enabled serial cable bundle change.
| Products Affected: | CFA835-TML, CFA835-TFK, CFA835-YYK |
| Date Issued: | July 29, 2015 |
| Summary: | CFA635, CFA735, and CFA835 displays with ATX (power on / off / reset) functionality enabled serial cable bundle change. |
| Description: | As part of our continuous improvement process, CFA635 KS, CFA735 KT, and CFA835 display modules with the ATX (power on / off / reset) functionality enabled will have their RS-232 SERIAL cable bundle options changed from a serial cable and WRPWRY24 to a serial cable and a WRPWRY25. With TX (power on / off / reset) functionality enabled, additional |
| Reason: | The WRPWRY24 is a power only cable and suitable for powering the CFA635, CFA735, and CFA835 when properly configured. When the displays are configured for ATX (power on / off / reset) functionality additional connections are necessary for proper operation. The WRPWRY25 offers the additional connections. |
