Lite-On Technology Designs Genesis' New gm5621 ''Phoenix'' LCD Controller Family into Multiple Monitor Platforms.SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Highly Integrated Product Line Significantly Reduces Bill of Materials The list of components that make up a system. For example, a bill of materials for a house would include the cement block, lumber, shingles, doors, windows, plumbing, electric, heating and so on. Cost for LCD Monitors Genesis(R) Microchip Inc. (Nasdaq:GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) The European term for a global satellite-based radio navigation system. See Galileo. ), a world leader in the development of image processing technologies for flat-panel monitors, TVs and other consumer display products, today announced that Lite-On has selected Genesis' gm5621 and gm2621 series for its new XGA (EXtended Graphics Array) A screen resolution of 1,024x768 pixels. The term stems from IBM's XGA display standard introduced in 1990, which extended VGA to 132-column text and interlaced 1,024x768x256 resolution. XGA-2 later added non-interlaced 1,024x768x64K. and SXGA (Super XGA) A screen resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. SXGA is commonly used on standard monitors, but provides a 1.25:1 aspect ratio, compared to the more common 1.33:1 (4:3) ratio. SXGA+ has a 1400x1050 resolution, which is an exact 1.33:1 ratio. See PC display modes. LCD monitor platforms. The new series offers industry-leading levels of integration in an LCD monitor controller and features a single chassis solution for all LCD monitor applications. The gm5621 LCD controller series integrates the microcontroller using a serial flash interface for pin count efficiency and includes a number of derivative controllers that enable customers to target all LCD monitor segments (analog or dual, XGA or SXGA) with a single PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl.

Its firmware is also compatible with Genesis' previous generation of gm5321 LCD monitor controllers, reducing customer design time and costs. The gm5621 product family also offers new Instant Auto(TM) technology, which provides fast and accurate image alignment for both static and moving images of the VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions. input signal and is competitively priced to respond to the high-volume segments of the mainstream LCD monitor controller market. "With its advanced image-processing technologies, this new family of highly integrated controllers from Genesis enables Lite-On to provide our customers with feature-rich LCD monitor platforms at the lowest cost points," said Andrew Lin, CFO See Chief Financial Officer. of Lite-On. "Lite-On has consistently selected Genesis' controller technology for several generations of their LCD monitor products," said Raphael Mehrbians, Genesis Microchip's senior vice president of Product Marketing. "We are very pleased to see this continue with our newest and most highly integrated family of gm5621/gm2621 monitor controllers." The gm5621 family offers Genesis' patented advanced image processing technologies, an industry-proved integrated ADC/PLL and Ultra-Reliable DVI compliant receiver for both XGA and SXGA display resolutions. In addition, it features an on-chip RSDS RSDS Reduced Swing Differential Signal RSDS Radar Signal Detecting Set RSDS Range Safety Display System RSDS Regional Supply Data System RSDS Remote Software Distribution System and LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) A transmission method for sending digital information. LVDS sends data over data high and data low lines rather than data and ground. transmitter, a multicolor proportional font OSD engine and is available in a 128QFP package.
