The S1D13506 is a color LCD/CRT/TV graphics controller interfacing to a wide range of
CPUs and display devices. The S1D13506 architecture is designed to meet the low cost,
low power requirements of the embedded markets, such as Mobile Communications,
Hand-Held PC's, and Office Automation.
The S1D13506 supports multiple CPUs, all LCD panel types, CRT, TV, and additionally
provides a number of differentiating features. Products requiring digital camera input can
take advantage of the directly supported WINNOV VideumCam™ digital interface. The
EPSON Independent Simultaneous Display (EISD) capability allows the user to configure
two different images on two different displays, while the SviwelView™, Hardware Cursor,
Ink Layer, and BitBLT engine offer substantial performance benefits. These features,
combined with the S1D13506's Operating System independence, make it an ideal display
solution for a wide variety of applications.
