MCU 8080 / 6800 Parallel LCD Display Modules
An 8 or 16-bit parallel data bus with read/write/chip-select control lines - the panel's own driver IC holds the frame buffer, the same way SPI does, but the wider bus moves data faster for the pin cost. It comes from the classic 8080 and 6800 microcontroller bus conventions, and most driver ICs still support both timing modes.
Best fit
Best for MCU projects that need faster updates than SPI can deliver and can spare the extra pins - a natural middle ground between SPI's minimal pin count and RGB's need for a display controller.

When MCU (8080 / 6800) Parallel is not the right choice
Not the right choice when pins are the binding constraint - it uses roughly eight to sixteen more pins than SPI for the same panel. If your MCU is pin-starved, SPI is usually the better trade even at a lower practical frame rate.

MCU (8080 / 6800) Parallel - questions
What is the difference between 8080 and 6800 mode?
Both are parallel bus timing conventions supported by most driver ICs - 8080 uses separate read and write strobes, 6800 uses a single enable line with a read/write select. Which one you use depends on which your MCU's external bus or bit-banged driver expects; we can supply either on the same panel.
Is MCU-parallel faster than SPI?
Yes, for the same clock effort - more data lines move more bits per transfer. It costs more pins in exchange, which is the whole trade-off between SPI and MCU-parallel interfaces.
Can I bit-bang an MCU-parallel interface instead of using a hardware bus?
Yes, many designs do on GPIO-only microcontrollers, though a hardware parallel bus or FSMC-style peripheral will be noticeably faster if your MCU has one.
