Toshiba TC358870XBG - 4K HDMI/MIPI Dual-DSI Converter

13.05.2014

Toshiba Electronics Europe (TEE) announced the launch of the TC358870XBG, the industry's first HDMI to MIPI dual-DSI converter chipset with 4K resolution and video format conversion.

The chip supports 4K Ultra HD resolution (3840 x 2160 pixels) at a refresh rate of 30 fps using a dual-DSI interface. They also support WQXGA (2560 x 1600) resolution at 60 fps and Full HD resolution at 120 fps. The manufacturer notes the minimum conversion delay, which improves the performance of real-time gaming applications and virtual reality products that use high-resolution displays.

In addition, TC358870XBG supports conversion of HDMI input audio stream to I2S, TDM or SLIMbus (Serial Low-power Inter-chip Media Bus), which expands the scope of its application.

For the external design of the TC358870XBG, an FBGA80 package with dimensions of 7 x 7 mm with a lead pitch of 0,65 mm was selected. Delivery of trial samples of TC358870XBG began at the end of April, and the start of mass production is scheduled for September.

Recall that in March, the Toshiba TC358840XBG chip was released - the industry's first 4K video stream converter from HDMI to MIPI CSI-2 without compression and loss.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Stylus camera 24.01.2019

The fashion for smartphones with displays that occupy almost the entire front panel has turned into a headache for developers.

The source of the problems was the front camera, which, with nominal frames around the perimeter of the screen, turned out to have nowhere to be placed. In addition to the "mono-brow", which has become the object of stinging jokes, manufacturers have tried many alternatives over the past year - from minimalist teardrop-shaped cutouts and round holes in displays that fit only one lens, to attempts to return to the slider form factor, forgotten since push-button mobile phones. But the struggle to maximize the space occupied by screens did not stop there either. Samsung has found a new solution, which, however, is not suitable for all of its models, but only for members of the Galaxy Note family. The fact is that it is proposed to embed the photomodule in the S Pen stylus.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted Samsung Electronics a patent for an electronic pen with a camera built into the top of it. This design will not only save the smartphone from any kind of cutouts, but will also allow equipping photomodules with advanced lens systems that provide a full-fledged optical zoom. To control the approximation, it is supposed to equip the stylus with a separate button.

The number, type, and positioning of lenses can vary, and developers don't have to worry that a complex optical system will make the mobile device's thickness prohibitive.
