EM Microelectronic Introduces Two Low Power LCD Controller/Drivers.EM6121/26 Feature Low Power with No External Components MARIN, Switzerland -- EM Microelectronic, the semiconductor company of the Swatch Group, announces two new low power LCD controllers/drivers, which can be used without other external components and are therefore easy to design in and very flexible. With two different interfaces, the EM6121 and EM6126 are capable of driving a wide range of LCD modules. Due to their very low power requirements, they are well-suited for portable and mobile phone applications. The absence of flickering and uniformity of contrast across all dice in production earmarks these controllers for products with very high quality standards. The EM6121/26 have no external components, reducing the module size, while saving material and manufacturing costs. Best in Class The two circuits are well-suited for small portable devices, requiring tiny modules and very low power consumption. "The economy of external components allows for smaller display modules and gives manufacturers of consumer electronics devices increased design freedom," says Mougahed Darwish, president of the management board of EM Microelectronic. "The low power requirements of the EM6126 are outstanding, and the EM6121 is even best in class." Applications such as phones, MP3 players, smart cards Example of widely used contactless smart cards are Hong Kong's Octopus card, Paris' Calypso/Navigo card and Lisbon' LisboaViva card, which predate the ISO/IEC 14443 standard. The following tables list smart cards used for public transportation and other electronic purse applications. with flexible LCD displays, point of sales systems, vending machines, utility meters and medical handheld devices can take advantage of these new products. EM6121: Controller/Driver for Character Monochrome Displays The EM6121 is a controller and driver for character monochrome TN and STN LCD STN LCD Super Twisted Nematic Liquid Crystal Display displays. It offers a driving capability of 26 rows x 80 columns addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be by the I2C I2C Inter-Integrated Circuit I2C Intelligent Interface Controller I2C Intelligent Controller or 3-wire interface. The circuit offers character generator (1) Circuitry that converts data characters into dot patterns for a display screen. (2) A device that creates text characters that are superimposed onto video frames. memory for 240 ROM and 16 RAM characters. It includes functions such as cursor, blink, partial mode and scrolling. Because of its internal LCD voltage multiplier A voltage multiplier is an electrical circuit that converts AC electrical power from a lower voltage to a higher DC voltage by means of capacitors and diodes combined into a network. , oscillator oscillator Mechanical or electronic device that produces a back-and-forth periodic motion. A pendulum is a simple mechanical oscillator that swings with a constant amplitude, requiring the addition of energy at each swing only to compensate for the energy lost because of air and bias resistors, the EM6121 eliminates the use of external components. EM6126: Controller/Driver for Bit Map Displays The EM6126 is an ultra low power An ultra low power, or ULP device, is an electronic gadget that has milli- or micro-watt power consumption.
