IDT Energy Metering IC Selected by Sanxing for Single Phase Smart Energy Meter

SAN JOSE, Calif., January 11, 2011– Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®; NASDAQ: IDTI), the Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, today announced that the IDT single-phase energy metering IC has been selected by Ningbo Sanxing Electric Co., Ltd., a leadingelectricity metermanufacturer, for use in itssingle-phase smart energy meter.Sanxingselected the IDT energy metering IC because it provides the widestdynamic range of all high-accuracy solutions on the market. 
TheIDT90E24belongs to a family of high-performance energy metering ICs for single-phase two-wire, single-phase three-wire or electricity meters with anti-tampering mode. It offers the industry’s widest dynamic range of 5000:1, enabling accurate measurement of several tens of kilowatts down to just a few watts. The device is ideal for measuring large power consumption during peak load hours, and also for measuring small amounts of generated power from renewable sources such as solar and wind during off-peak hours; all within a single smart energy meter.
IDT’s newly releasedIDT90E24product features a widedynamicrange, making it suitable for applications with a wide metering range requirement. It passed all of Sanxing’s internal tests and won positive recognition from our customers,” said Zhongxiang Zhou, chief electronic meter engineer at Sanxing Electric Co., Ltd.
We are pleased to have our smart energy meter selected by Sanxing. The success of our metering products is another demonstration of IDT’s innovation and ingenuity,” said Sean Fan, vice president and general manager of IDT China.“Our products offer high accuracy and the widest dynamic range in the industry, which facilitate our customers’ ability to combine multiple energy metering devices into a single, versatile product. As a result, the design and manufacturing process is simplified, allowing our customers to pass all required testing in a shortened timeframe. We will continue to deliver complete smart metering solutions to benefit both meter manufacturers and utilities economically and environmentally.”
TheIDT90E2x is offered in a Pb-free 28-lead SSOP package, and is designed for long-term stability over variations in ambient environmental and grid conditions. The device is fully compliant with IEC62052-11, IEC62053-21 and IEC62053-23 specifications for class 1 or class 2 single-phase watt-hour meters or class 2 single-phase var-hour meters.

IDT Demonstrates World’s First Touch-Over-AUX DisplayPort™-Based Touch Screen Technology

SAN JOSE, Calif., January 12, 2011– Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®; NASDAQ: IDTI), the Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal semiconductor solutions,today announced it has demonstrated the world’s first usage of the DisplayPort auxiliary (AUX) channel to carry touch screen data. The demonstration implements a novel technique for transmitting the touch sensor data over the existing DisplayPort AUX channel to the operating system (OS), simplifying and lowering the cost to integrate touch technology into display devices such as tablets, notebooks, All-in-One (AiO) devices, monitors, kiosks, and point-of-sale (POS) terminals. The demonstration took place during the 2011 International Consumer Electronics show inLas Vegason January 6-9, 2011. 
The technology demonstration utilizes the IDTIDT VPP1101DisplayPort receiver connected to a field programmable gate array (FPGA) that is programmed to interface with the touch sensor’s SPI output and the IDTVDAP1000,a monolithic timing controller, white LED driver, and power management device. The discrete prototype demonstration functions to transmit the touch sensor data over the DisplayPort AUX channel while driving the digital and analog needs of the LCD panel. This technology will enable notebook system manufacturers to eliminate USB interface communication from host to panel and reduce the number of wires that must pass through the display’s hinge, simplifying the design and reducing costs. Likewise, integration of a touch sensor controller alongside aDisplayPort-based LCD timing controller(TCON)will benefit panel manufacturers by reducing IC component count and simplifying the overall system, resulting in lower system cost and smaller physical dimensions.
Most existing touch sensor controllers require extra USB cables, ports and components to integrate touch sensor functionality with the display. IDT’s approach eliminates these cost adders by leveraging the benefits of DisplayPort,” saidJi Park,vice president and general manager of the Video and Display Operation at IDT.“By using the DisplayPort AUX channel to transmit the touch data back to the host, no new wiring or ports are required. IDT’s technology simplifies the hardware requirements and lowers the overall solution cost.”
AMD (NYSE: AMD) understands the growing trend of touch enabled devices and foresees the need to enable more efficient designs,” said David Cummings, director, Technology Management, AMD.“To achieve this, AMD provided tools to IDT to enable the tunneling of touch data over the GPU’s embedded DisplayPort AUX channel. This implementation can reduce overall system cost, spacing requirements and potentially save power.“
This latest technology migration extends the previous mixed signal innovations that IDT has pioneered through integration of power management and LED backlight technology into its timing controllers. The touch-over-AUX demonstration offers the possibility of further integration to solve system level problems with mixed-signal technology. IDT’s analog and digital expertise coupled with a total-system-solution approach will continue to lead the technology in this market.
