Industry-First 4K Chipset Converts HDMI® Signal to MIPI® dual-DSI Interface on Small Form-Factor Ultra HD LCD Displays
Toshiba
America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC)*, a committed leader that
collaborates with technology companies to create breakthrough designs,
today adds the TC358870XBG Display Serial Interface (DSI) to its family
of mobile peripheral IC products.
The TC358870XBG is a 4K High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI®)
to MIPI® dual-DSI converter chipset with video format
conversion. This is the first and only device in the market that enables
direct 4K HDMI video input to LCD displays with MIPI dual-DSI interface,
allowing small, form factor high-resolution mobile displays to be used
in consumer and industrial applications.1
"The TC358870XBG provides design, performance and cost benefits making
it suited for small, mobile consumer electronics and industrial products
with high-resolution LCD displays requiring MIPI dual-DSI input," says
Deepak Prakash, senior director for the Logic LSI Business Unit, System
LSI Group at TAEC. "Application Processors with an HDMI interface used
in traditional larger displays can now drive up to 3840 x 2160 display
resolution in next-generation small form factor mobile devices including
head-mounted displays (HMDs), digital camera displays, hand- held gaming
accessories and wearable computing devices."
The TC358870XBG's 297 MHz HDMI input supports up to 3840 x 2160 @ 24bpp
at a refresh rate of 30 fps and 2560 x 1600 @ 24bpp at a refresh rate of
60 fps. The device supports common 3D video formats and protocols
compatible with the HDMI 1.4 standard. The TC358870XBG supports a MIPI
dual DSI interface up to 8Gbps.
The Toshiba TC358870XBG is an 80-pin device for non-HDI boards with a
small package size of 7.0 x 7.0 mm, 0.65 mm ball pitch and 1.2 mm
maximum height.
Pricing and Availability
Sample pricing for the TC358870XBG device is $5.00 (U.S.). Sample
shipments are currently available with mass production scheduled for
September, 2014.
