Package Code Extraction
// Method 1: Check hyphenated suffix (NT35510-COG)
int hyphenIndex = mpn.indexOf('-');
if (hyphenIndex > 0) {
String suffix = mpn.substring(hyphenIndex + 1);
// Extract first part if multiple hyphens
int nextHyphen = suffix.indexOf('-');
if (nextHyphen > 0) suffix = suffix.substring(0, nextHyphen);
// Map to package
}
// Method 2: Extract single-letter after NTxxxxx
// NT[0-9]{5}[A-Z]...
Pattern packagePattern = Pattern.compile("^NT[0-9]{5}([A-Z]).*$");
Series Extraction
Returns first 4 characters (NT + 2 digits):
- NT35510 -> "NT35"
- NT36672 -> "NT36"
- NT66xxx -> "NT66"

Replacement Considerations
Family Compatibility
Parts within the same NTxx000 family (differing in last digit) may be revision variants:
- NT35510, NT35511 - possibly compatible
- Always verify pinout and register set compatibility
Same Base Part
Same NTxxxxx with different package codes are NOT direct replacements (different physical form):
- NT35510H (COG) vs NT35510C (COF)
Learnings & Edge Cases
- 5-digit model numbers: Novatek uses NTxxxxx (5 digits after NT), unlike some competitors with 4 digits.
- Suffix complexity: Some parts have multi-part suffixes like NT36672A-DP where A=variant, D=type, P=option.
- NT51xxx dual registration: These are registered as both IC and LED_DRIVER since they're LED backlight controllers.
- Touch vs Display: NT66/NT67 series are touch controllers only; display is NT35/36/37/38/39.
- TCON role: NT50xxx timing controllers don't drive pixels - they control panel timing signals.
- Family revisions: Parts like NT35510 and NT35511 may be within the same family but check datasheets for differences.
