EM Microelectronic Introduces Universal Dot Matrix LCD Controller and Driver for Low Multiplex Rates and Static



EM6110 offers low power consumption and large voltage range with no external components needed

MARIN, Switzerland - August 22, 2006 - EM Microelectronic, the semiconductor company of the Swatch Group, announces the EM6110, a bitmap controller and driver for full dot-matrix monochrome TN and STN LCD displays. With its low power consumption, large voltage range (1.8V to 5.5V for logic and 3V to 10V for LCD) and no additional external components, the EM6110 is perfect for headsets, weigh scales, utility meters, portable battery-operated products, as well as large displays.

The EM6110 drives 8 rows x 32 columns or 4, 3, 2, 1 x 40 columns maximum addressed by 3-wire or I2C interface. The display can be handled via two selectable 8 x 40 RAM banks. The EM6110 is able to operate over a wide temperature range (-40 to +85°C) and can be easily cascaded. It is particularly useful in very large display applications, such as electronic signs at airports, train stations, on buses, etc.

Features:
3-wire or I2C serial interface
Programmable 8, 4, 3, 2 and 1 row modes
All segments or Display ON and OFF functions
Shift register function
Low operating current consumption
Embedded functions (oscillator, bias resistors, synchronization)

Availability
The EM6110 is available in die with or without gold bumps and in a TQFP64 package from EM Microelectronic and its authorized distributors. More information about this product is available at www.emmicroelectronic.com/Products.asp?IdProduct=243
