SIM225 4.3″ HMI


SIM225 is End of Life
 — see the SIM252 for new designs.

With a resistive touch 4.3” 480×272 16-bit color LCD powered by the Renesas RX63N MCU, the SIM225 was a breakthrough product using “direct drive” technology for cost-effective and modern HMI experiences. It is still supported by v5.1 of our proprietary SHIPEngine firmware and the SHIPTide development tools.

Standard high-speed UART and power connectivity are provided by Serious 7-pin connectors — perfect for simple attachment to existing systems. Some variants have 26 pin expansion connectors enabling easy custom daughter-card development for more complex connectivity.

Explore these options compared to the SIM243:
  • SIM152 for high performance, more cost-effective HMI in a very compact 3.5″ form factor
  • SIM252 for high performance, more cost-effective, modern product line
  • SIM352 for a larger, high resolution 5″ experience
  • SIM552 for a big 7″ LCD experience
  • SIM862 for higher performance, including video playback, with a big, bold 10.1″ LCD
