Display ICs from Solomon
Systech Limited to Match Motorola's i.250
GSM/GPRS
Platform Solution
Highly
Integrated Mighty Chips that Support the
i.250 Baseband Processor's DMAC Protocol
Hong
Kong, China ¡V Feb 11, 2002 - Solomon Systech Limited
(SSL)
today announced series of display ICs to accompany with
Motorola¡¦s 2.5G Innovative ConvergenceTM
(i.250) platform. The i.250 platform is a comprehensive
silicon-to-software solution for building smart 2.5G Global
System for Mobile Communication/General Packet Radio Service
(GSM/GPRS) wireless handsets.
As the companion to the i.250 platform, Solomon
Systech¡¦s display ICs are highly integrated mighty chips
that are designed to support the i.250 baseband
processor¡¦s DMAC protocol and open the display window for
all mobile communication devices.
Display ICs
from SSL includes families of Monochrome,
Gray Scale and Color STN controller driver ICs, such as
SSD1828 and the SSD18XX / SSD17XX series. These are all cost-effective single chip display
solutions for mobile communication products in 2G/2.5G and
3G applications, where high performance, long battery life,
compact size and ease of use are required. In particular, they reduce system cost and vastly
speed time to market with minimal external components and
reduced instruction for display graphic control:
- Build-in command set to support the i.250 baseband
processor¡¦s DMAC protocol.
-
Configurable display memory map for streamline the data
read/write access of i.250 platform¡¦s DMAC protocol.
-
Included hardware graphic functions, such as Window
Scrolling, to simplify window (pop-up/pull down menu)
control
Bringing
in the advanced technologies from SSL are the latest OLED/PLED
driver family SSD1301 / SSD1328, MLA PDA driver chipsets
SSD17XX / SSD187X / SSD188X and the Graphic Controllers
SSD190X. They
upgrade the handsets with impressive display of high
contrast, excellent image quality and fancy graphic
animation. Taking
the advantage from our built-in graphic engines IC platform,
handsets manufacturers now have the flexibility to design
from low-tier to high-tier feature sets for today and future
3G/smart phone applications, diversify their product lines
and get to market quickly.
The
scalable, highly integrated i.250 platform combines an
advanced chipset with an unparalleled development
environment, field-proven GPRS software protocol, type
certification support, and best-in-class system cost to
support a complete range of voice-centric, voice/data, and
data-centric products. A major advancement in the industry's
ongoing effort to enable anytime, anywhere communication for
consumers, the i.250 platform provides a solid architectural
foundation to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and
original design manufacturers (ODMs).
The
turnkey i.250 platform is designed to reduce system cost
while speeding time to market for handset
manufacturers," said Kenny Cheung, General Manager of
Motorola's Wireless and Broadband Systems Group, Asia
Pacific. "Its streamlined, compact design features the
lowest component part-count in the industry. Manufacturers
can easily add personality and packaging to their handset
products, focusing on applications, branding, features and
style while enjoying instant access to cutting-edge
technology. The bundled platform gives them unprecedented
flexibility for getting to market quickly, easily, and
cost-effectively. In addition, our platform solutions can
scale from voice-only wireless clients to rich multimedia
platforms, easing the migration to 3G solutions and reducing
overall costs."
We
are excited to be working with Motorola to bring leading-edge
IC products to
the market," said Humphrey Leung, President and
Executive Director of Solomon Systech Limited. "With
the companion to Motorola's i.250 platform, wireless handset
manufacturers will be able to enhance its competition in
the
market with the total system solution, from baseband
processors, software engine to graphic display module.
Our highly integrated display driver controller ICs
with on-chip capacitor technology and other on-chip features
like DC-DC converter, bias divider, oscillator, display data
RAM, OTP¡Ketc, is a perfect match to the i.250 platform in
providing a minimal component count in applications."
