Capable of use in both analog and digital interface LCD monitors, the SD1200 TFT LCD display controller is for 16" to 19" flat-panel displays used in desktop computer systems and LCD projectors. The chip provides a true plug-and-play solution, with automatic input mode detection and auto phase calibration, so the LCD monitor can ensure precise clock synchronization for high image quality. No special driver or manual adjustment is required for timing detection, and the device does not require an external CPU chip to perform the automatic calibration. Neither does it require external frame buffer memory for automatic scaling and synchronization, using instead internal buffer memory. The chip can handle inputs up to SXGA (1280 x 1024) resolution at 75-Hz refresh rate and can produce output signals at SXGA resolution at 75 Hz. The controller is packaged in a 160-pin PQFP.
