TW8823
Advanced LCD controller with on-chip MCU
and 65K color 16-bit OSD support
The TW8823 is a highly integrated advanced LCD controller designed for the automotive infotainment market, targeting
center console and rear seat entertainment applications. Features such as an embedded MCU, LED/CCFL backlight controllers,
a 4-wire touch screen controller, analog and digital TCON, and a multi-window 16-bit (65K color) bit-map OSD are designed
to reduce the system’s overall BOM cost. The TW8823 has multiple analog and digital inputs to support a wide array of video
and graphic sources, including navigation modules, back-up cameras, DVD/multimedia modules, PCs, etc. The TW8823 can
support a wide variety of both digital & analog LCD panels with resolutions up to WXGA, and also has an integrated single
channel LVDS interface to directly drive LVDS based LCD panels.
