Platform cuts linecard development work
Legerity and Clare have unveiled a new foreign exchange office (FXO) evaluation platform that will reduce the system-level cost, board space and development time for trunk interface linecards.
Designed by the company's Clare Micronix division, the MXED203 is a versatile row driver that can also be used in combination with Clare's column driver ICs, such as the MXED102, to provide co-ordinated precharge and synchronisation for optimum dynamic response.
The MXED203's low "on" switch resistance ensures uniform luminance at rapid row scan rates, and supports single and dual scan passive matrix PDA displays.
"With more than 20 years of expertise in analogue and mixed-signal IC development, Clare Micronix IC Group's analogue design team has already produced four generations of driver ICs for OLED and bistable displays.
This year, we will see OLED technology make the jump from the lab to store shelves", said Bill Boldt, vice president of sales and marketing for Clare Micronix.
"To help propel OLEDs' widespread adoption, we are rapidly expanding our line of standard and customised driver IC products to address the full complement of customers' needs.
By providing solutions like the MXED203, we are allowing suppliers to reach the market quickly at a low cost".
Recognising the coming vast demand for OLED and bistable driver and controller ICs, Clare has previously announced a world-class supply chain aimed at providing OEMs with the most reliable source available.
The company has entered into manufacturing agreements with X-Fab Semiconductor Foundries, Hynix Semiconductor, Advanced Semiconductor Engineering and Siliconware Precision Industries to establish high-volume capacity for its solutions.
Samples of the MXED203 in die form are available now.
Pricing starts at $4 for quantities from 1000 to 9999.
