Specifically targeted for TFT LCD panels and the Open Core Protocol 2.2 On-Chip Interconnect, the DB9000OCP is an out-of-the-box synthesizable soft IP Core for ASIC and ASSP design teams with display system requirements.
GLEN ROCK, New Jersey -- August 31, 2007 – Digital Blocks, a leading developer of silicon-proven semiconductor Intellectually Property (IP) soft cores for embedded processor and video system designers, today announces the DB9000OCP TFT LCD Controller IP Core. The DB9000OCP IP Core targets systems-on-chip (SoC) ASSP and ASIC designs containing embedded processors and the Open Core Protocol 2.2 On-Chip Interconnect interfacing SRAM or SDRAM frame buffer memory to a TFT LCD panel.
The DB9000OCP IP Core specifically and cost-effectively targets TFT LCD panels with 1 Port of 18-bit digital (6-bits/color) or 24-bit digital (8-bits/color) interface. This includes single LVDS/TMDS ports with appropriate external drivers.
The DB9000OCP IP Core contains programmable features comparable to entry-level ASSP LCD controller chips, including a color palette to reduce frame buffer space and OCP Interconnect bandwidth. With the cores wide range of programming parameters, the controller can support a wide range of LCD panel resolutions. Representative examples are as follows:
| Format | Resolution |
| Square | 240x240 |
| QVGA | 320x240, 240x320 |
| 16:9 Aspect Ratio | 480x272 |
| VGA | 640x480 |
| SVGA | 800x600 |
| XGA | 1024x768 |
| SXGA | 1280x1024 |
| UXGA | 1600x1200 |
| WUXGA | 1920x1200 |
DB9000 Family of TFT LCD Controllers
The DB9000 family of TFT LCD Controllers supports a variety of bus interfaces to frame buffer memory and processors. Please consult Digital Blocks web site for a complete listing.
