PC Chipset for Combo DVD Drives

ROHM's DVD super multi-drive chipsets integrate a super one-chip LSI, system motor driver IC, and a system power supply IC featuring all of the DVD super multi-drive control and signal processing systems required. Only a general-purpose memory IC and optical mechanism are required for configuration of a DVD super multi-drive system. To facilitate product development, reference software specifically developed for the chipsets is offered as well.

Serial ATA-IDE Bridge LSIs

ROHM's Serial ATA Interface LSIs are products based on Serial ATA High Speed Serialized AT Attachment Revision 1.0a/2.5 Standard. This interface incorporates a PHY/Link/Transport/Application layer to correspond with both modes of the HOST/Device and ATA/ATAPI. All Parallel ATA products can be easily connected to Serial ATA pass with a high-sped data transmission rate of 1.5Gbps when utlizing ROHM's interface.

LVDS Interface LSIs

The LVDS interface in ROHM's lineup of serializers and deserializers operate from 8MHz to 150MHz and features a data transfer rate between 35 and 70 bits. 7x serial data transmission is possible, reducing the number wiring by a third, and a low swing mode suppresses EMI even further. A 4bit, 200MHz driver / receiver can be configured for a variety of purposes, including home electronics such as LCD TVs as well as business and medical equipment.

MSDL(Mobile Shrink Data Link) Transceivers

ROHM MSDL transceiver is a data serializer / deserializer with high-speed serial data transceiver for mobile phone. MSDL transfers high-volume video data with a few wires from graphic engine to LCD modules, and it can contribute to cut down on the number of wires going through the hinge part of mobile phone. MSDL offers serial data transmission with low power, low EMI, minimum footprint and better noise torelance by easy application to conventional systems with minimum change.

IrDA Controller LSIs

ROHM's IrDA Controller LSIs enable easy startup of IrDA communications. FIR-compatible* units are available that feature a 5kByte FIFO buffer, allowing interrupts to be handled in units of a single frame, and a 16-bit data bus that eliminates the need for DMA, simplifying system design.
