NSM Investors (any of you left ?) - National announces LCD display chip set for Flat Panel Displays Paul {=================================} pubs.cmpnet.com A service of Semiconductor Business News, CMP Media Inc. Story posted at 11 a.m. EDT/8 a.m., PDT, 8/4/98 National's chip set offers single- or dual-pixel functions for flat panel monitors SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- National Semiconductor Corp.'s new LDI (LVDS Display Interface) chip set are said to be the first SVGA/UXGA-compliant chips for flat panel monitors. The DS90C387 and DS90CF388 LDI chips, announced here today, are based on National's LVDS (low voltage differential signaling) technology, which uses differential transmission to reduce electromagnetic interference, while maintaining a throughput of 5.38 gigabits per second. National's LDI chip set offers enhanced features such as low overhead DC balancing (one bit per channel) and pre-emphasis which eliminate problems like inter-symbol interference distortion and open the eye pattern for long cable drives. National's proven LVDS technology provides the ideal combination of high speed, reduced noise, and low power. The LDI chip set is compatible with either single- or dual-pixel function and can operate with National's existing notebook-market-standard FPD-Link devices, enabling easy upgrades. The chip set is designed to sit between the GUI display controller on the desktop and the timing control ASIC on the LCD. The devices support a wide range of resolutions. Flat panel monitors are emerging to replace CRT monitors for PCs, workstations and CRT televisions at home. "Nearly a dozen of the biggest names in the electronics world are implementing LCD technology into their applications and our highly advanced LDI chips were designed to support their performance requirements," said Dave Handorf, vice president of National's interface division.
