The MB88F322 graphics display controller targets automotive applications including instruments, heads-up displays, and rear-seat entertainment. The device does not have a traditional 2D/3D rendering engine. It instead uses an line-buffering technique, enabling it to operate at frequencies of just 80 MHz with significantly reduced power consumption.
The 208-pin chip has an Automotive Pixel Link (APIX) interface, a 4/8-bit alpha-plane and dithering-and-gamma unit for high image quality, and it supports a variety of display sizes with resolutions up to 800 x 600 and color depths of 8, 16, and 24 bits. It uses 5 V and includes six on-chip stepper-motor controllers for mixed clusters that feature both TFT and traditional mechanical gauges. (Less than $10 ea/prod qty — available now.)
