Lowest-power FPGA into portable LCD field

Actel Corporation leverages leading 5 µ W Actel IGLOO FPGA advantage launches IGLOO video demo Board, with a LCD Panel LCD adapter plate, IGLOO video demo tool (IVDK) and display the relevant reference design.

Actel expected these three products will attract portable and handheld consumer electronics, industrial, medical, automotive and military equipment for power-sensitive product designers, for small and medium-sized LCD display device.

With personal media players, MP3 device, PDA and the increasing popularity of digital cameras, portable market share using LCD.

According to market research institute iSuppli reports, small and medium-sized screen (less than 10 inches) is the fastest growing market. ISuppli predicts 2007 medium flat panel displays the total amount of 38 million shipments, 2011 will increase to 45 billion.

Actel Fares, Senior Vice President Mubarak said: "in the treatment of portable applications product of LCD display control, low-power to programming solutions to respond to evolving standards and technology, while also providing the necessary power, area, and time to market.

Compared with other competitive products, the IGLOO static low power consumption to 1%, while the battery life can be extended for more than 10 times, so the power consumption requirements of harsh circumstances a strong competitive advantage. ”

In portable devices, LCD power consumption can share product power budget of 50%, the market for high-efficiency solution for increasing demand.

IGLOO to 1 µ s within easily in and out of the Flash Freeze mode (its * at low power consumptionTo 5 μ W), and at the same time saves system memory and data registers. Therefore, a Flash-based IGLOO FPGA allows LCD display and controller for energy-saving mode and LCD data manipulation and backlight function is shielded, this means that you can significantly save battery energy LCD applications.

Actel IGLOO devices of a low-power to replace the ASSP display controller, but with different, IGLOO can quickly reprogramming to accommodate and support a variety of LCD display and the continued development of display technology, so when you need to easily achieve the flat panel display of the transplantations between.

In addition, these feature-rich FPGA also able to glue logic (glue logic) and more complex LCD control technology into a single chip, thereby reducing board space.

Demonstration platform plus fast various LCD of design

Actel partners Attodyne dedicated to video and LCD design services company that leverages the Actel IGLOO AGL600 developed to deal with LCD video signal of the IGLOO video demo Board.

IGLOO video demo board video input can come from multiple sources, such as CMOS camera head plate or DVI-D input. The demo Board can pass 50-pin plates connector-driven LCD display, or through LVDS interface through two RJ45 connectors drive with PSWG (flat standardization working group standard) compatible single-/dual-channel standard flat panel display.

In the initial stage, there are three LCD adapter plates can be used to demonstrate advanced LCD control features such as image zooming, α mixing, color transformation

Heat exchanger and deinterlacing (de-interlacing). These adapter plate including 7 inches, 4.3 or 2.7 LCD screen, resolution from 480x800 one quarter video graphics array (QVGA), includes matching LCD connector, drive and inverter, and IGLOO video demo board connection of multiple interfaces.

Video demonstration of the tool the IGLOO video board and LCD adapter plate, software and demo, power, and DVI-D cables together and let the user be able to quickly build out their LCD controller application.

Attodyne CEO Ray Page pointed out: "Actel's IGLOO family will be unprecedented low power solutions introduces portable LCD control applications.

Our cooperation with Actel introduces precision flexible solutions that help designers shorten design times for months, and easily meet the most stringent power budget requirements. ”

Price and availability

IGLOO video presentation tools, IGLOO video presentation panels, LCD adapter board and various display related reference design modules from Actel's partner Attodyne suppliers.
