'Industry's smallest' single chip receivers offer 50% smaller footprint

Analog Devices claims to have produced the industry's smallest single chip receivers to incorporate HDMI specification version 1.4a support for 3d display resolutions and extended colorimetry. The new low power, 165MHz ADV7611 and the 225MHz ADV7612, dual port receiver with Xpressview fast switching technology, have been designed to enable hd designers to deliver high end a/v feature sets in entertainment applications.

According to ADI, the devices offer a 50% smaller footprint and a 25% reduction in power consumption for designs with 720p and 1080p resolutions. They are suitable for power sensitive, ultra slim HTIB (home theatre in a box) systems, projectors, AVRs (audio/video receivers), HBR (high bit rate) TVs, matrix switches and sound bar speaker systems. Charles O'Roark, product line director at Analog Devices, said: "By incorporating ADI's low power receiver, HDMI technology, and a feature rich a/v interface onto a single chip, designers can achieve an unequalled combination of performance and accuracy, while eliminating the power limitations that restrict portability and increase system design cost."
