National Introduces TFT-LCD Timing Controller with RSDS Outputs For VGA, XGA and Wide XGA Resolutions

National Semiconductor Corporation introduced the FPD87370, a timing controller that combines an LVDS single-pixel input interface with National's RSDS™ (Reduced Swing Differential Signaling) output driver interface for VGA, XGA and Wide XGA resolutions. The timing controller resides on the TFT-LCD panel and provides the data buffering and control-signal generation for VGA, XGA, and Wide XGA graphic modes. The RSDS™ path to the column driver contributes toward reducing the bus width from the timing controller, lowering the radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reducing system dynamic power consumption.
