California Micro Devices Presents ASIP(TM) Solutions for Flat Panel Displays at SID 2004 Highly Integrated ESD and EMI Solutions for Latest High-Definition TVs and Mobile Handset Displays SEATTLE, May 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- California Micro Devices , a leading supplier of application specific analog semiconductor products for mobile, computing and consumer electronics, will be showcasing its popular Application Specific Integrated Passive(TM) (ASIP(TM)) solutions for emerging HDMI/DVI and mobile handset display applications at the Society for Information Display (SID) 2004 International Symposium in Seattle. Designed Into Leading Consumer Electronics and Mobile Applications California Micro Devices' ASIP(TM) solutions are designed into a broad range of leading digital flat panel TVs, flat panel monitors, set-top boxes and mobile handset displays, providing the industry's highest levels of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and electromagnetic (EMI) filtering, along with other functions such as signal termination and level shifting. These highly integrated ASIP(TM) solutions are complemented by application specific analog products including DDR voltage regulators, overcurrent protection devices and transceivers for USB, low noise linear regulators and integrated charge pump and low dropout regulators. Booth Highlights Major applications that California Micro Devices will be presenting include: -- High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) / Digital Video Interface (DVI) solutions featuring the PicoGuard(TM) CM1213 family of ESD diode arrays, providing up to 8 channels of 8kV contact ESD protection in a single package, with only 1pF of capacitance -- the industry's lowest capacitance solution for HDMI ports. -- Highly integrated, single-chip ASIP(TM) solutions for analog RGB applications such as DVI-I and VGA ports in set-top boxes, PCs and graphics cards. This family includes the just-announced CM2009 (see separate release) and the popular PACVGA200, and integrates 7 channels of ESD protection, level shifting circuitry for DDC lines, buffering for the SYNC lines, and impedance matching termination resistors, integrating up to 22 discrete components into a single package. -- Centurion(TM) low capacitance EMI filters with ESD protection for mobile handsets. These devices are used extensively for high-speed color LCD and camera interfaces. They feature the industry's lowest capacitance, lower implementation costs (36% less), significant part count reduction (134 discrete passives to 4 chips) and impressive form factor reduction (88% less area) compared to discrete solutions. California Micro Devices' proprietary Centurion(TM) advanced zener process technology provides enhanced EMI filter performance, greater ESD protection and dramatically lower capacitance levels.
