( www.chrontel.com ) a leading provider of video interface technologies, today announced two new devices that will help computer and display manufacturers as they navigate the transition from LVDS to DisplayPort™. Chrontel’s new CH7508 is a timing controller (TCON) that converts DisplayPort signals into mini-LVDS for display manufactures using mini-LVDS technology to drive TFT panels. The new CH7509 converts DisplayPort signals into LVDS so that computer processors using the new DisplayPort output can also maintain compatibility with LVDS displays.

"Low power processors like Intel’s very successful Atom line, have integrated graphic controllers. They typically rely on LVDS for video interface," said Dr. David Soo, Chrontel President and CEO.

Our customers appreciate sourcing this device from an established vendor like Chrontel.
