Munich, Germany—Seiko Epson Corp. has developed an LCD controller that can drive high-resolution panels up to the XGA level.

The S1D13513 LCD controller enables external connection of up to 64
Mbytes of SDRAM to run 16 sprite functions and enable simultaneous display on three screens.

The S1D13513 controller has many interface modes, running connection verifications for more than 10 types of CPU. The S1D13513 also features two camera input ports, enabling YUV signal output (2 x 8 bit or 1 x 16 bit) from a camera to be imported and displayed on screen.

Applications include on-board automotive devices, factory automation and office equipment. The S1D13513 supports drivers for use with the Microsoft Windows CE and Linux operating systems.

Volume shipments are expected to start in August 2007. The S1D13513 will be shipped in PBGA and QFP packages.
