New 16-Channel LED controller IC for LCD TV from Austriamicrosystems

The expansion of its portfolio of specialized LED drivers and controllers of the newest generation of LCD TV backlight, the AS3693B 16-channel LED controller IC bee announced by austriamicrosystems.

Innovation AS3693B LED controller IC helps build very flat LCD TV with the greatest possible contrast ratio, resulting in better image quality. The concept of external effects and patented technology for saving energy that actively regulates the power to reduce energy loss in the system. This makes it very flat screen models as possible and allows the creation of highly energy-efficient solutions TV. The AS3693B LED controller IC is specifically designed to synchronize with the picture perfect LCD and LED backlight unit to achieve so-called "control block graduation for exceptional image quality.

The AS3693B high precision LED controller IC manages 16 LED cinnamon, each with an accuracy of the current 0.5%. This is by far the best performance in the industry today, says the company. The high degree of accuracy possible is the exact color and control the brightness of the LCD backlight currently available. In addition, new features, such as hand PWM "create entirely new possibilities LED control different segments of the backlight unit.

"We developed the AS3693B, our latest LED backlighting solution, in close cooperation with our OEM partners in the LCD screen to the latest features, such as reverse PWM on the market as soon as possible. We are proud to the innovator's position in this booming market with new central concepts of economics and outstanding overall system performance, "said Markus Luidolt, marketing director of LED backlight drivers, austriamicrosystems.

Tiny embedded graphics processor interfaces with OLEDS and LCDs from Saelig

A new low-cost configurable OLED, LCD and TFT graphics processor, which can interface with a broad spectrum of the population OLED and LCD screens, was announced by Saelig.

In a small 6 mm x 6 mm 28pin QFN package, the GOLDELOX-gfx implements an integrated package of high-level graphics and I / O functions are controlled by "Eve" (Extensible Virtual Machine).

Additional features such as digital I / O ports, built 8 / 10 bit A / D, 16-bit free-timer is active, the production of complex, joystick support, 1 son and a SPI interface (eg memory cards) means that the in May, only to have a processor design.

Users can choose the screen that corresponds with their interface can GOLDELOX-gfx on a PCB and choose the I / O according to the needs of the system. Then choose the facility GOLDELOX PMMC file that corresponds with the display driver IC (eg GOLDELOX-gfx-1339.pmmc to view Solomon SSD1339 IC) and download the GOLDELOX gfx-chip via the serial port, for a fast, powerful single-chip graphical user interface solution. Write the code using 4DGL Workshop 4D (editor and compiler) and save weeks or months of development time on your next project with integrated graphics. 4DGL is a graphically oriented language with the developer to write applications in a higher language, syntax similar to popular languages such as Basic, C and Pascal, and it works with any color display 80-series supports 8-bit CPU interface.

For complex applications, users can send their images to the general GOLDELOX-gfx and send simple serial preferred host processor to perform the necessary measures. All LCD and OLED driver built-in libraries and to share the same high level of service interface. This allows the GUI application portable to different types of controller.

The software developer 4DGL graphic studio composer and his free without conditions for the granting of licenses. The development is fast, as a result of the growing supply of available off-the-shelf modules and prototyping boards.

The requirement 3.6 - 6V to 40mA, GOLDELOX-gfx is a graphics controller for handheld test and measurement, POS terminals, control systems, instrumentation and electronic meters manometers, mobile medical units, Data recorders, game machines, the company said.
