Digital Blocks Expands the DB9000 TFT LCD Controller IP Core Family with Support for the AMBA AXI4 Interconnect

Taking advantage of the AXI4 QoS and long burst length capabilities, the DB9000AXI4 targets High Resolution TFT LCD panels applications.

GLEN ROCK, New Jersey, May 10, 2011 – Digital Blocks, a leading developer of silicon-proven semiconductor Intellectually Property (IP) soft cores for system-on-chip (SoC) ASIC, ASSP, & FPGA developers with Embedded Processor & Peripherals, Networking, Display Controller, Display Link Layer, 2D Graphics, and Audio / Video processing requirements, today announces the DB9000AXI4 TFT LCD Controller IP Core. The DB9000AXI4 IP Core extends Digital Blocks 3 years of experience with the AXI protocol, with the AXI4 QoS and long bursts lengths, supporting high resolution LCD panels.

While the DB9000AXI4 targets high resolution TFT LCD panels, the range of programming parameters permit support for a wide range of LCD panel resolutions. Representative examples are as follows:
