SSD1922 is an image processor designed for advanced mobile phone and handheld device with image capture and process features.

It offers camera or DVD input port, image processing unit and hardware JPEG codec to encode the captured image into JPEG file. The files can be saved into SD/MMC card through SD interface. The JPEG file is retrieved back from SD/MMC card, decoded and displayed on LCD panel through LCD interface. This interface supports various kinds of LCD panel like STN, CSTN and TFT.

The LCD controller of SSD1922 supports LCD panel for mobile phone with size, for example, 176x220 and 240x160 resolution at color depth 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 bit-per-pixel (bpp). For 16 and 32 bpp, SSD1922 provides 2D graphics acceleration features like virtual display, image rotation, cursor display, line drawing, BitBLT with raster operation, color fill, color expansion etc.

SSD1922 is able to interface different type of microcontrollers, for instance, XScale and Dragonball MX1 that are popular in handheld devices market. It also support indirect addressing mode which can minimize the pin count of control signals.

Internal PLLs is built such that only single clock is required for SSD1922 to generate clocks for blocks with various clock speed requirement.

With advanced power management design, SSD1922 is suitable for low power consumption and advanced image handheld applications like smartphones, PDA, photo viewer, gaming devices and MP3 players etc. The SSD1922 is available in TFBGA package.

The main features of the SSD1922 are as follows.

   2. Frame buffer to frame buffer

   3. Total 256 three-operand raster operations (ROP3) working with BitBLT

   4. Pattern BitBLT: Source image is repeatedly filled up destination block

   5. Stretch BitBLT: Stretch the source image to a destination larger or smaller than the source

   6. Color Expansion: Monochrome color is expanded to either background or foreground color. 

   7. Color Conversion: Source color is converted between RGB and YUV to destination block -> YUV overlay RGB background / RGB overlay YVU background.

   8. Color Fill: Fill a rectangular block with a single color.

4. LCD Graphic Controller

1. Support 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 bit-per-pixel (bpp) color depth
