News THine announces a new MIPI DSI serializer product for automotive and industrial multi-display use cases and its mass production
TOKYO (September 17, 2024) – THine Electronics, Inc. (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 6769, “THine”), a global leading fabless semiconductor supplier who provides innovative mixed signal LSI and analog technologies as well as valuable AI/IoT-based solutions and AI/data servers, today announces its new MIPI DSI serializer product, THCV353-Q, for automotive and industrial multi-display use cases and its mass production.
The new product, THCV353-Q, for multi-display use cases can serialize MIPI DSI data and transmit such serialized data with THine’s V-by-One® HS technology that can be received by THine’s deserializer product, THCV333-4Q. Seince recently MIPI DSI is penetrating more and more in display markets, this new product will contribute to the further expansion of use cases for multi-displays.
For example, in the automotive market, the THCV353-Q enables a simple configuration of a system that displays images from left-side and right-side cameras in the side displays installed in the left and right windows.
In the industrial equipment market, the system enables integrated image data distribution to the multi-display installed above the cash payment areas of a convenience store.
THCV353-Q is also capable of transmitting audio data over the same transmission path in addition to transmitting image data simultaneously. For example, in infotainment applications, the system configuration can be simplified by transmitting audio signals, which are output from the system LSI together with images, on the same transmission path as the images.
Furthermore, THCV353-Q can transmit GPIO signals at high speed. In addition to the excellent response speed of control signals for touch panels on displays and interrupt signals to system LSIs, GPIO offers convenience and design flexibility, such as easy design of backlight control for LCD displays.
THCV353-Q allows simpler designs and gives designing engineers wider options for using various SoCs with less expensive costs and lower power consumptions to achieve their required systems.
In addition, optical transmission mode can be used to transmit image data over optical fiber to avoid radio interference in equipment that requires precision operation.
In addition to the MIPI DSI products, THCV353-Q, the LVDS-compatible THCV333-Q can also be applicable for customers to have both MIPI DSI and LVDS output from their SoC lineups.
Expanding lineups of data transmission products for high-resolution cameras, THine also continuously contriutes for display markets, the typical human interface, in a wide variety of use cases.
