- | As I said initially, the issue of replacing old SSD1303 displays is fairly widespread - not just our beloved Agilent multimeters, but also coffee machines and other such things. Therefore, other people have also made efforts that allow SSD1309 displays to be used. For example, LCD-store sells a [[https://lcdstore.de/epages/17406888.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/17406888/Products/Command-Switch-2|converter board]], which for all the world looks to be doing the same thing, except quite a bit simpler (possibly in a CPLD). I'd be curious to know what chip they are using and how that looks in terms of power consumption. | + | As I said initially, the issue of replacing old SSD1303 displays is fairly widespread - not just our beloved Agilent multimeters, but also coffee machines and other such things.

Judging from their [[https://lcdstore.de/epages/17406888.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/17406888/Products/LC-OL12864-09-YO-AG|adapter board]] for the U1253A multimeter, it looks like they are using a Lattice MaxhXO2-256HC FPGA, which needs a lot less support circuitry, but will be a bit worse in terms of power consumption. |
