Briefing
Displays found in portable electronics require a lot of battery power and with consumers favoring larger screens and higher quality screens for viewing image-rich content, the power efficiency of the display system becomes an increasingly important design consideration. The Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI) ADP5520 lighting management system is a power-efficient, customizable display management solution designed to improve viewing quality and extend battery life in mobile phones, personal navigation devices and media players, for example.
The single-chip ADP5520 lighting management system enables a 20-percent reduction in battery power consumption through the use of an ¡°intelligent¡± lighting-control that automatically detects ambient light levels and adjusts backlight brightness according to changing lighting environments. An adaptive ambient light management feature adjusts too-bright or washed-out screens autonomously according to configurable lighting profiles. This reduces current-drain and extends battery life by minimizing the processor involvement in backlight monitoring. In addition, the ADP5520 can assume control of key-scan and general-purpose I/O sub-system functions from the processor, further reducing system power consumption and increasing available processor bandwidth.
Using this highly integrated lighting management system, designers of ¡°flip¡± or slider form factor phones can reduce the number of control lines running across the hinge of a phone from 53 lines down to 14. This brings significant cost and reliability benefits to flip phones or slider phones in which the backlighting system is located alongside the LCD display. In a typical mobile handset application, the ADP5520 integrates the keypad controls, lighting sensor, LED indicators, and backlight LED supply on a single chip, and also features programmable profiles with minimum software overhead to control LED backlight intensity, on/off timing, fade algorithm cubic (or square law), and dimming timers.

Briefing
The FIN324C is a 24-bit serializer / deserializer with dual strobe inputs. The device can be configured as a master or slave device through the master/slave select pin (M/S). This allows for the same device to be used as either a serializer or deserializer, minimizing component types in the system. The dual strobe inputs allow implementation of dual-display systems with a single pair of SerDes. The FIN324C can accommodate RGB, microcontroller, or SPI mode interfaces. Read and write transactions are supported when operating with a microcontroller interface for one or both displays. Unlike other SerDes solutions, no external timing reference is required for operation.
The FIN324C is designed for ultra-low power operation. Reset (/RES) and standby (/STBY) signals put the device in an ultra-low power state. In standby mode, the outputs of the slave device maintain state, allowing the system to resume operation from the last-known state.
The device utilizes Fairchild¡¯s proprietary ultra-low power, low-EMI Current Transfer Logic (CTL) technology. The serial interface disables between transactions to minimize EMI at the serial interface and to conserve power. CMOS parallel output buffers have been implemented with slew rate control to adjust for capacitive loading and to minimize EMI.

Briefing
Fairchild Semiconductor (NYSE: FCS) brings designers of 3G smartphones, netbooks, set-top boxes and notebooks the industry¡¯s first image module switch that isolates parasitic components to maintain signal integrity. The FSA1211 is a 12-port, single pole, single throw (SPST) analog switch that isolates the high speed bus from parasitic components in dual camera applications. Smartphones feature dual cameras and as these cameras move to higher and higher resolutions, parasitic components play a critical role in deteriorating signals and generating unwanted EMI.
With a bandwidth in excess of 720MHz and high ESD (5.5 kV), the FSA1211 offers an optimal way to isolate capacitance and maintain signal integrity for high speed data paths. In addition, when isolating the unused parallel interface, the FSA1211 reduces the radiated EMI of the path, improving RF desense. The traditional parallel solution can deteriorate the signal due to the unwanted ¡°stub,¡± resulting in image degradation of the camera module. Another approach is to use three analog switches, which complicates design and adds to the overall bill of material (BOM) costs. In contrast, the FSA1211 offers robust isolation and ease of design at a lower cost.
