Embedded DisplayPort 1.3-compliant TCON with PSR tech from IDT

Integrated Device Technology, Inc.has announced it has developed the Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) 1.3-compliant Timing Controller (TCON) with integrated Panel Self Refresh (PSR) technology for portable electronic devices.

eDP timing controllers with PSR technology identifies a static image and stores it local to the TCON in an integrated frame buffer, then displays the image from the local frame buffer allowing the eDP main link and a majority of the GPU functions to be powered-down results in power savings of system with a PSR-enabled graphics processor where as in traditional timing controllers that receive and process the display data continuously.

"IDT continues to demonstrate its leadership in delivering next generation mixed-signal technology," said Ji Park, vice president and general manager of the Video and Display Operation at IDT. "Today's mobile devices require more processing power and functionality than ever before, but consumers expect longer battery life at the same time. Our newest PSR-ready eDP timing controller helps our customers meet these requirements, making IDT's solution the ultimate high-performance, low-power interface for use in next generation notebooks, Ultrabooks, and tablets."

New eDP timing controllers with PSR technology contains novel design techniques and strategic process selection for the efficient operation and continuous transition between modes, compliance with the VESA eDP v1.3 standard and eDP solutions provide the lowest system cost and longest battery life versus the LVDS solutions being used in portable embedded display applications, claims IDT. The large reduction in power consumption is key to accelerating the adoption of eDP in portable displays.

Pricing and Availability: This new eDP technology is being demonstrated to qualified customers by IDT.
