TW8816-LA3-GRST

Overview

The TW8816-LA3-GRST is a highly integrated LCD flat panel processor designed for both analog and digital display panels. It features an embedded 8-bit 8051 microcontroller with SPI interface, a CCFL controller, and a TFT Panel Controller (TCON). The device supports digital TTL panels up to WXGA resolution at 1280 x 768 pixels and 100MHz, as well as analog active matrix TFT panels up to WQVGA resolution at 480 x 234 pixels and 20MHz.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an on-chip 8-bit MCU with SPI interface and a single-channel CCFL controller based on push-pull architecture.
• Supports multiple analog inputs including CVBS, S-Video, YPbPr, and RGB signals alongside digital interfaces such as 24-bit RGB and 8/16/24-bit YCbCr.
• Includes built-in image enhancement capabilities featuring programmable gamma correction tables, de-interlacing engine, and favorite color enhancement.
• Provides a built-in OSD controller with integrated character ROM and programmable RAM fonts supporting multi-window overlay.

Applications

• TV Tuners
• DVD players
• Back-up cameras
• Navigation/GPS receivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix LA3-GRST against official documentation to confirm exact package type, temperature range, and lead-free status. Confirm current availability and lifecycle status directly with Renesas Electronics or authorized distributors, as component supply can vary by region and date.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a system requires a single-chip solution combining video decoding, panel driving, and control logic. It is suitable for designs needing to reduce bill of materials cost by integrating MCU and backlight control functions. Ensure the target display panel matches the supported digital or analog resolution limits.
