Toshiba offers a broad product family including memory, LCDs, the peripheral ICs that surround the main processor such as the LCD controller, bridge ICs, Bluetooth,TV tuner/ TV out chipset, NFC chipset; and input/output devices to cameras and LCD panels.

Mobile Peripheral Devices

Mobile peripheral devices (MPD) are chipsets that provide interfaces between a host processor and input/output devices such as a display, a camera and a keypad in mobile handsets. As high-end mobile handsets feature larger display resolutions (HVGA, VGA, WVGA+), higher camera-pixel resolutions (3, 5 and 8 mega pixels) and a full QWERTY keypad, unique design challenges arise that result in higher data rates, larger data transferability with fewer lines, EMI and mechanical issues.

 

Toshiba's mobile peripheral product family aims to offer solutions to these challenges while increasing performance and design flexibility, as well as lowering power usage in mobile handsets.
Working with other Companies
Toshiba is working with baseband and application processor companies to ensure inter-operability of high-speed serial interfaces. Important reference designs for mobile handsets include several Toshiba products to ensure inter-operability of MDDI- and MIPI-based devices. This results in faster time-to-market, reduced engineering burden for the OEM/ODM and reliable operation of the end product.
