Preliminary Product Brief
gm
ZAN3
The Genesis gmZAN3 is an all-in-one image processor
optimized for conventional LCD monitor designs with
resolutions up to XGA. The gmZAN3 leverages Genesis
patented advanced image-processing technology as well as
a proven integrated ADC to provide excellent image quality
in a simple and cost-effective solution. An on-chip, industry
standard, single pixel, four channel LVDS 6/8-bit transmitter
(gmZAN3-L) provides a direct connection to commercially
available LCD panel modules. This high level of integration
reduces the number of components, reduces system cost
and improves reliability as well as simplifying monitor
designs.
