Scaler IC accelerates in-vehicle display development
To increase in-vehicle display system development, the S2D13V52 is a scaler IC that upscales or downscales image data streamed from a host and outputs it on a display.
An increase in demand for high resolution in-vehicle displays is expected as vehicle electrification and automation increase, resulting in their use in instrument clusters and central information displays. These high-resolution display systems require high-performance SoCs, memory and other components, as well as immense development resources for aspects such as software and heat countermeasures.
Epson designed the S2D13V52 scaler IC to be compliant with AEC-Q100 and operates at temperatures up to +105 degrees C. It does not need external memory and uses a proven SoC, adds Epson.
It supports input cropping, a function for specifying regions of input images to be scaled, and area blanking, a function for displaying a specified colour in the display area that remains when scaling was set to a size smaller than the resolution of the panel. Images can be displayed on panels of various resolutions without changing the aspect ratio of images.
The S2D13V52 automotive standards-compliant scaler IC uses an algorithm with minimal image quality loss and has a supply voltage of 1.8V (internal core) or 3.3V for I/O. Input resolution is up to 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) and provides an output resolution of up to 2880 x 1080 or 2400 x 1400 at 60Hz. For error detection, it also includes input image clock recovery cycle (CRC) and a watchdog time.
Operating temperature is -40 to +105 degrees C.
It is housed in an H4QFP15-100-pin package, measuring 14 x 14mm.
