1 Description
Genesis GM5621 and GM5626 are all-in-one dual input LCD monitor controllers supporting
resolutions up to SXGA/WXGA, available in a very low pin count package. GM5621/5626
leverage Genesis patented advanced image-processing technology, as well as a proven
integrated ADC/PLL and an Ultra-Reliable DVI compliant digital receiver to deliver a high-
quality solution for mainstream analog and dual input monitors. GM5621/5626 offer new
Instant Auto technology, which provides fast and accurate image alignment for both static
and moving images of the analog input signal. GM5621 includes an on-chip, industry
standard, dual channel LVDS transmitter and a TCON, and GM5626 includes a dual
channel RSDS transmitter for direct interfacing of commercially available LVDS/RSDS LCD
panel modules.
In addition, GM5621/5626 include an integrated x86 OCM with SPI compatible interface, a
multicolor proportional font OSD engine, a programmable coefficient scaling engine, dual
channel Schmitt and Reset circuitry. Along with high quality and reliability, GM5621/5626
also provide a very low cost system design by reducing the number of components and the
reduction in the board size.
GM2621 is a pin-compatible analog derivative product with integrated ADC/PLL, but no DVI
receiver.
