Semiconductor and integrated circuits from Hitachi, including SuperH™ RISC and H8™ CISC microprocessors and microcontrollers, and highly integrated RF solutions, provide system designers with high performance, low-power building blocks. Complementary products and technologies from both well-established and emerging suppliers further enhance the ECD product portfolio. Hitachi super fine color flat panel displays provide superior transflectivity for use in any condition. The Hitachi advantage: advanced “in-house ” development of complimentary display driver components and low-voltage liquid crystal material, resulting in low-power consuming products of the highest quality.
ECD is supporting the ongoing transition to digital [SD] and high definition [HD] TV through it ’s offering of MPEG video encoder and decoder products. Single chip encoder, video CODEC, and A/V CODEC products are available for system developers who demand the highest quality and low-latency in 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 formats. SD, HD, and Ethernet compact modules for broadcast, camera and network applications provide quick time-to-market solutions. The offering further includes complete HD encoder and decoder systems, which provide impressive video quality through parallel encoding, and is encased in a space-efficient “plug & play” format.
Fingerprint sensor technology has been costly and unreliable until now. ECD provides an array of fingerprint sensor products based on surface pressure technology, which achieve superior print imaging under difficult conditions, at an attractive price. The product offering includes sensors, modules, and hardware/software development kits.
Machine-to-machine, and machine-to-human communications take a leap for ward when systems incorporate the wireless telemetry system offered by ECD. This two-way communication module provides a simple inter face to existing controllers, as well as a PC-based development system. The list of applications includes energy meters, industrial and medical remote monitoring, automotive telematics, vehicle security, and vending machine and office equipment monitoring and servicing, to name a few. Existing wireless ser vice, which encompasses Canada, the United States, and Mexico, provides superior in-building coverage and full broadcast capability.
