Set Top Box (STB) Display Driver IC Design - Low Power Consumption, Multiple Functions, Reasonable Prices . Self - Sufficient Test Capabilities. World-Class Manufacturing Integration.
(1888PressRelease) November 01, 2010 - The rapid growth in Asia is being driven by a surge in satellite set top box shipments, in conjunction with strong IPTV STB growth. Thomson, PACE and Sagem are world famous set-top box vendors, and they are all seeking solutions to meet the new market demand. That means set-top boxes with lower power and energy consumption and multiple functions with reasonable prices are important factors to be successful. Thomson, PACE and Sagem are all using Princeton Technology Corp.'s LED display driver/controller ICs and VFD display driver/controller ICs for their set-top boxes. Their choices of LED display driver/controller ICs and VFD display driver/controller ICs include PT6302, PT6965 (Thomson), PT6302, PT6964 (PACE) and T6955, PT6302 (Sagem)
Why do Thomson, PACE and Sagem all assign Princeton Technology Corp. as their IC partner?
In addition to meeting specific requirements from clients, being able to implement a WIP system (work-in-progress system) with fast delivery is an asset to the company. Princeton Technology Corp's LED and VFD driver ICs fit the market segment of front panel for Set Top Boxes (STB) that requires compact and integrated solutions. PT6302 is a dot matrix VFD Driver/Controller IC utilizing CMOS Technology specially designed to display characters, numerals, and symbols. PT6302 provides 35 dot matrix plus 2 additional segment drivers and 16 grid drivers. 248 types of character data (CGROM), 8 types of character data (CGRAM), 16 display digits x 2 bits symbol data, 16 display digits x 8 bits register for character data display and 2 general output bits for static operation are provided. Pin assignments and application circuit are optimized for easy PCB layout and cost saving advantages. The application of PT6302 VFD Driver/Controller IC includes microcontroller peripheral device and audio/video equipment.
