Hardware critically low battery threshold 
(includes battery removal) 
Instantaneous battery level falls below 
U36 hardware critical-battery threshold. 
For help, see the “Low-Battery 
Thresholds” table on page 61. 
Display 
LCD Panel 
The CK30AA and CK30BA use a 160 x 160 transflective monochrome 
display with a gray-scale depth of 4 bits per pixel. 
The CK30CA uses a 160 x 160 transflective, passive color display with a 
color depth of 16 bits per pixel. 
LCD Controller 
The PXA255 internal LCD controller used to drive the display through an 
8-bit LCD interface. The PXA255 LCD controller has no dedicated frame 
buffer, but instead uses a Unified Memory Architecture: the display refresh 
data is stored in system SDRAM and is direct memory accessed to the 
LCD controller. The DMA controller is dedicated to the LCD controller 
and runs independently of the main PXA255 DMA controller.  
Bias Supply 
Color: +16.6 to +19.3 VDC. 
Mono: + 18.5 to +23.7 VDC (variable for contrast adjust).  
Display Contrast Control 
Display contrast is controlled through PXA255 PWM output PWM0 
(signal CONTRAST). Software adjusts the duty cycle of the pulses on this 
output. The pulse stream is filtered through R213, C160, R214, and 
C159 to produce a DC value at the feedback pin of boost switcher U37, 
setting the output voltage. 
Because the optimal contrast setting varies from display to display, the 
default setting is dialed at Final Test and saved in system flash. You can 
then adjust the contrast up or down from this midpoint, with the revised 
setting saved in the system registry so that it is reapplied after warm or cold
