Display Controllers for MDDI and MIPI High Speed Serial Interfaces to be Highlighted LOS ANGELES, May 13
LOS ANGELES, May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- California Micro Devices
(Nasdaq: CAMD) will be showcasing its MDDI and MIPI client solutions for high
speed serial interface display interfaces in mobile handsets at SID's Display
Week 2008 in Los Angeles from May 20 through 22. The Company will also
showcase a number of new protection technologies for LCD TV and handset
display interfaces. These include XtremeESD(TM) low capacitance electrostatic
discharge (ESD) protection solutions and MediaGuard(TM) port protection for
HDMI(TM) 1.3 digital TV as well as DisplayPort(TM) for PC applications and
Praetorian(R) EMI filters for mobile display interfaces. Two CMD product
presentations will be featured in the Exhibitors' Forum on Tuesday, May 20,
starting at 2:45 PM.
Display Controllers for High Speed Serial Interfaces in Mobile Handset
Displays
CMD's serial interface display controllers are designed for wireless
handsets that utilize the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)
Mobile Display Digital Interface (MDDI) and Mobile Industry Processor
Interface (MIPI) serial interface display standards. The CM5100 features a
fully compliant, MDDI based serial client featuring an integrated display
controller with embedded memory that supports primary thin film transistor
(TFT) liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with resolutions up to QVGA (320x240) and
secondary displays. CMD will also be presenting a unique MDDI-to-MIPI serial
interface bridge architecture (see separate release) and its future MIPI
product plans. A selection of the latest multimedia handsets featuring CMD's
display controllers will be on display.
XtremeESD ESD Protection Arrays for Digital Video
Low capacitance, low profile ESD protection arrays including new
PicoGuardXP(TM) and PicoGuard XS(TM) products from the recently announced
XtremeESD family will be showcased. XtremeESD products are ideal for
protection of high speed serial interfaces in digital TVs and LCD display
monitors such as MDDI, MIPI or USB2.0 High-Speed. Layout and placement
flexibility are offered thanks to multiple channel configurations. Compact
footprints, low profile and low cost characterize this family of devices. The
just-announced CM1234 (see separate release) is the second PicoGuard XS
product in the XtremeESD family to be introduced, offering ESD protection to
IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (plus-or-minus)20kV air discharge and 15kV contact
discharge.
Praetorian EMI Filters for Mobile Applications
Praetorian EMI filter arrays are designed for the latest multimedia
enabled wireless handsets with high data rates between the baseband processor
and high resolution displays and cameras. Groundbreaking Praetorian process
technology allows the integration of inductors with capacitors and ESD
protection diodes in a single chip design, providing superior EMI filtering,
high cutoff frequencies, minimal insertion loss, sharp rolloff and greater
levels of attenuation at high frequencies.
CMD's portfolio of EMI filters for high bandwidth applications in mobile
handsets has been expanded to include a new Praetorian II family of
inductor-capacitor (LC) filters. These devices allow mobile handset designers
to address many higher bandwidth data interfaces that cannot be served by
lower cost resistor-capacitor (RC) based filters, at a lower price point than
its industry leading Praetorian I filters.
