Help: MCU's with built-in Color TFT LCD Controller

Hello all,

I'm working on an embedded design that will include a color TFT LCD
(1/4 VGA) and am looking for suggestions for an MCU with the LCD
controller built-in. Atmel has an ARM9 processor (AT91SAM9261) which
has everything including the kitchen sink - way more than my project
requires. I don't need any of the special peripherals which seem to be
integrated into many of the newer offerings. I've looked at using a
dedicated LCD controller and may end up doing so if that makes the
most sense. My project does not require high-speed (realitively)
processing, high I/O count, etc. The design pretty much centers around
the display. If anyone knows of an MCU that includes a TFT controller
without all of the other goodies, I would appreciate hearing your
input. Please post to the ng.

BR's,
Dan

The AT32AP7000 AVR32 part that is shown on the avr32linux site looks
to be just as advanced as the AT91SAM9261 ARM9 chip. The AVR32 part is
also more expensive at $24.85/100 than the ARM9 part is ($16.77/100).
However, khe dev kit is about for the AVR32 is about half that of the
ARM9 part.

Any other ideas?
