austriamicrosystems Introduces 46 Segment LCD Driver



AS1120 LCD driver is the ideal solution for standard and custom LCD displays for industrial applications

Raleigh, N.C. (July 28, 2005) - austriamicrosystems further expands its display driver portfolio by introducing the AS1120, a new RoHS compliant LCD driver for industrial and automation markets that supports alphanumeric and bar graph displays. The chip can drive up to 46 segments of non-multiplexed LCD displays and can be cascaded to increase this number. A serial interface allows for easy integration into microprocessor-based solutions with minimal interface between the display and data source.

Through austriamicrosystems' expertise in low power design, the AS1120 achieves ultra-low current consumption of 5 µA. In addition, the AS1120 display driver offers unmatched brightness stability over a wide temperature range. Power supply input ranges from 3V to 5.5V.

Individual segment control enables custom display applications for a wide variety of needs. Applications examples include: gas station displays, process monitoring and equipment displays as well as instrumentation readouts, digital clocks, thermometers and others.

The AS1120 is available in a 64-pin PQFP package. For product specific-information and to request samples please go to austriamicrosystems.com/03products/13_interfaces.htm.
