1.1 Introduction
The CRTtoLCD-6-SM is a highly integrated TFT panel interface controller,
which allows an easy adaptation of standard analog video sources to a
TFT panel with LVDS interface. The CRTtoLCD-6-SM needs only one
single 12V DC power supply and incorporates all needed functionality,
including optional 4,5 or 8 wire touch controller for USB or PS/2 interfaces,
to build up a full featured TFT monitor. The card generates the necessary
power sequencing for the flat screen. The highly flexible architecture of the
CRTtoLCD-6-SM panel interface allows adapting nearly any available TFT
panel. Therefore a variety of panel adapters and programming are
available on request.
