Abstract

A single-chip 16.7M color VGA display driver IC featuring partial graphic RAM and 500Mb/s/ch high-speed serial interface has been developed. It pairs with a 1.98-inch mobile VGA amorphous-silicon TFT-LCD panel with 400 pixels/in. The IC has been fabricated in a 0.18 mum triple-well CMOS process with high-voltage transistors and occupies 23.0 times 2.5 mm². The chip has two supplies, 1.8 and 2.75V, and uses a total of 45mW.
