ArcticLink II VX4C Solution Platform

Features and Benefits: ArcticLink II VX4C

 

Visual Enhancement Engine v2.0
  • TV-quality visual experience in mobile devices through dynamic range control.
  • VEE is based on proven, patented core from Apical Ltd.
  • Greatly enhanced image and video quality even under low backlight or bright ambient conditions.
Display Power Optimizer
  • DPO includes the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) driving the display backlight for active backlight power management. Significantly reducing power consumption of the display to extend video playback time.
  • Dramatically improves battery life up to 41% by enabling reduced display backlight.
MDDI v1.2 Type 2 Client with PHY
  • Most recent MDDI client interface used on Qualcomm's MSM7xxx-series and QSD8xxx-series mobile processors, including the recently announced Snapdragon family
  • Qualcomm MDDI (Type 2) client enables 60 frames per second (fps) content refresh.
CellularRAM Frame Buffer
  • Up to 32 Mbits of embedded frame buffer using very low power CellularRAM technology.
  • Supports buffering of entire frame up to Wide SVGA (WSVGA 1024x600 resolution) and 24-bit color depth, or multiple frames of lower resolution or color depth.
  • Lower energy consumption by enabling mobile processor to output display content at lower frame rate in non-video mode
  • Allow refresh of LCD directly from CSSP frame buffer, as opposed to having the mobile processor responsible for that task
  • Allow OEMs to use standard, inexpensive dumb RGB displays
Flexible Programmable Fabric
  • Up to 70 programmable I/Os available.
  • Ideal platform to implement LCD interface and/or local bus tailored for mobile processor:
    • RGB888, RGB666, and RGB565
    • Up to Wide SVGA (WSVGA 1024x600 resolution)
    • Capable of refresh rates exceeding 60 frames per second
  • Ability to configure multiple 2-wire serial peripheral host and client controllers for controlling and aggregating multiple low-speed peripherals into single backchannel to mobile processor including
    • Ambient light sensor
    • Touch screen controller
    • Proximity sensor
    • Accelerometer
    • E-paper controller
    • Temperature sensor
    • Other low-bandwidth peripherals
  • Implement programmable Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) tailored to specific display requirements
  • Autonomously adjust LED backlight based on reflected ambient light, and display content for optimized viewing experience and battery life savings.
Small Form Factor Packaging
  • 121-ball, 6 mm x 6 mm TFBGA, 0.5 mm ball pitch.
  • Reduced PCB footprint
