Overview
Compact, High-Performance Front Panels
With a bright 4.3" 480x272 LCD screen and powered by a 100MHz Renesas RX63-series MCU using direct drive technology, the SIM225 can deliver an excellent front control panel experience for your product.
Standard high speed UART and power connectivity is provided by Serious 7-pin connectors — perfect for simple attachment to existing systems. Some variants have a 26 pin expansion connectors enabling easy custom daughter-card development for more complex connectivity.
SIM225 is an Extended Lifetime Roadmap Product and is fully supported by the SHIP rapid GUI development and deployment system, including SHIPv4 and v5.
