Socionext Expands Leading Lineup of "Smart" Controllers, Featuring Enhanced Security Support for High-Resolution, Wide Format Displays
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Socionext Inc., a provider of integrated automotive SoC solutions, has introduced its new display controller SC1702 to meet the growing needs for high-resolution widescreen automotive displays. In addition to the existing SC1701 series, Socionext provides low-cost, optimal safety functions for meter clusters. This lineup of "smart" display controllers delivers scalable in-vehicle remote display systems that achieve high levels of safety.
The new SC1702 is capable of transferring data at rates of up to 12 Gbps using the latest APIX(®)3 technology. It is equipped with a newly developed Panel Interface Port (PIP) that supports the most advanced, high-resolution wide landscape format display such as 8K x 1K, which cannot be supported with conventional interfaces. In addition, the SC1702 was designed to conform to the latest encryption technology HDCP 2.3, making it possible to effectively utilize rich, 4K-resolution content for multi-displays and other uses in a vehicle.

The use of automotive displays is rapidly expanding- in instrumentation and vehicle control operations including meters, climate controls and other dashboard indicators integrated into graphics. Additionally, Head-up displays (HUD) and e-Mirror displays are being added to many vehicles, resulting in a broader set of display requirements and options. These range from conventional small displays to larger-format, widescreens with some spanning across the entire dashboard.
Supporting these new technologies, the SC1702 can detect display abnormalities that were previously unobservable using current technology. In addition to conventional safety features, displays can recognize panel link loss, inconsistencies of CRC of pixel data and other behaviors at the source drivers and gate drivers, enhancing capabilities to meet further safety requirements.
New SC1701 Lineup Delivers Added Capabilities
The SC1701BH5-300 is a new addition to the SC1701 lineup providing additional functions to existing meter systems. With the new device, safety features such as multi-window signature unit, picture freeze detection, and watchdog -- as well as 2D rendering capability of Deep Color (30 bpp) built-in graphics engine -- are now available at competitive prices.
