Solomon Systech’s High Speed 4-lane MIPI Transmitters SSD2825/28

The perfect match with standard application processors for ultra high resolution smartphones

(Hong Kong – 12 September, 2012) Solomon Systech Limited (“Solomon Systech”) announced today its innovative display interface controllers, SSD2825G44 and SSD2828G44, which can be used with either dual-core or quad-core processors, are ideal solutions for HD720 (720 RGB x 1280) and FHD (1080RGB x 1920) smartphone and tablet applications respectively. SSD2825G44 has been adopted by leading smartphone brands and has also won design-in projects for the increasingly popular ultra high resolution smartphones.

 

 

SSD2825 – An Optimal Solution for Surging High-end HD720 Smartphone Displays

SSD2825G44, transmitting up to 600Mbps/lane, when paired up with application processors to support displays up to HD720, could effectively minimizes physical connections and power consumption. SSD2825G44 matches perfectly with standard application processors, like the popular dual-core 1.2GHZ or quad-core 1.4GHZ, to drive different LCD technologies, such as LTPS, a-Si, AMOLED and metal oxide.

 

Moreover, SSD2825G44 forms a perfect team with dual core 1.2GHZ and Solomon Systech’s high resolution LCD driver SSD2075 to support 4.5”/ 4.7”/ 5.0” HD720 a-Si IPS LCD displays. This perfect team offers an optimal solution – super low power, high resolution and cost-effective – for the growing high-end smartphone market.

 

Solomon Systech has been collaborating closely with Taiwan and US application processor suppliers to incorporate SSD2825 to support high resolution displays of up to HD720 of  leading China smartphone brands. SSD2825G44 has not only been listed in the Approved Vendor List of leading application processor suppliers, but has also been incorporated in the major reference designs of an increasing number of HD720 displays of leading smartphone brands. It is expected that HD720 smartphone displays will experience a surge in demand in China starting from the second half of 2012

 

SSD2828 – Poised to Capture Upcoming Growth of FHD Displays

Full High Definition (FHD) smartphone displays will soon see a rising trend. Solomon Systech, with its proprietary solutions of SSD2828G44, which are tailored for FHD displays, is well prepared to capture the rising market demand.
