S1D13706 Embedded Memory LCD Controller
The S1D13706 is a color/monochrome LCD graphics controller with an embedded 80K byte SRAM
display buffer. While supporting all other panel types, the S1D13706 is the only LCD controller to directly
interface to both the Epson D-TFD and the Sharp HR-TFT family of products thus removing the
requirement of an external Timing Control IC. This high level of integration provides a low cost, low
power, single chip solution to meet the demands of embedded markets such as Mobile Communications
devices and Palm-size PCs, where board size and battery life are major concerns.
The S1D13706 utilizes a guaranteed low-latency CPU architecture thus providing support for micropro-
cessors without READY/WAIT# handshaking signals. The 32-bit internal data path provides high perfor-
mance bandwidth into display memory allowing for fast screen updates.
Products requiring a rotated display image can take advantage of the SwivelView
provides hardware rotation of the display memory transparent to the software application. The
S1D13706 also provides support for "Picture-in-Picture Plus" (a variable size Overlay window).
The S1D13706 provides impressive support for Palm OS
type or operating system makes it an ideal display solution for a wide variety of applications.
