Analogix Licenses USB-C Technology to LG Electronics
Analogix
Semiconductor, Inc. today announced that it has signed a technology
licensing agreement with LG Electronics (News - Alert) for Analogix's Intellectual
Property (IP) for full function USB-C™ technology.
The Analogix DisplayPort™ IP cores have shipped into over 1 billion
System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions from multiple customers. Analogix has
integrated DisplayPort Alt Mode - the industry's standard way to
transfer high-definition audio and video over the USB-C connector - into
its IP cores for full function USB-C, offering comprehensive benefits
including:
-
High-Performance Video and Audio: DisplayPort Alt Mode support for
resolutions up to 8K;
-
Power Delivery: USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) up to 100W battery
charging;
-
Data Transfer: SuperSpeed USB up to USB 3.1.
"USB-C is a crucial connectivity technology and working with Analogix
enables us to productize innovative solutions," said James S.W. Song,
vice president of Engineering at LG Electronics.
"Integrating the full function USB-C into the mobile Application
Processor (News - Alert) (AP) core offers high-performance video out without adding the
cost of any additional ICs," said Michael Ching, vice president of
technology licensing for Analogix. "Our technology enables device
manufacturers to reduce their design footprint, bill of materials, and
time to market."
DisplayPort was archiected for mobile and in particular, it facilitates
integration into deep sub-micron CMOS process technologies that use
lower voltage rails. DisplayPort™ over USB-C™ allows AP makers to
efficiently and simultaneously transmit high-resolution video, audio,
USB data, and power routed out of the same USB-C connector, enabling
devices to interoperate with accessories in the USB-C ecosystem, and
ultimately benefiting consumers.
