New THCS251 IC solves the Hinge Problem!

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Feb. 4, 2020 - PRLog -- THine Introduces 4Gbps, Low Voltage Differential Transceiver IC

Provides Designers with the ability to aggregate up to 37 different I/O's to transmit and receive high speed signals over greater than 15 meters

TOKYO, JAPAN (February 04, 2020), SANTA CLARA, CA (February 04, 2020) – THine^®, the leader in high-speed serial interfaces and image signal processing, today announced the high-volume availability of their new GPIO / LVCMOS transceiver IC, THCS251.

This new IC allows engineers to aggregate up to 37 lines of different data rates into just 4 lines that can be received and transmitted in the same IC! With the THCS251, manufacturers can lower cost, reduce size, and improve reliability by utilizing simplified and smaller hinges/slip rings in their product implementations.

The new THCS251 IC can be used in a wide variety of applications such as laptop computers, surveillance cameras, robotics, printing machines, medical equipment, gaming, XR devices, etc.

Many electrical devices, such as laptops, use hinges between their display and keyboard. Other devices, such as surveillance cameras, use slip rings to enable 360-degree rotation. These hinges and slip rings limit the number of wires that carry signals through them due to their physical space and/or cost.

"This IC can be a game changer for many applications," said Tak Iizuka, Chief Solution Architect of THine. "The THCS251 solves problems caused by the limitations of hinges and slip rings."

Yasuhiro Takada, CEO of THine, said "We are excited to announce this new IC because this enables our customers to introduce new products with reduced sizes and costs thanks to this new extension of our technologies which we have provided for decades."

The IC is now available through major distributors, including Digi-Key and Mouser. https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=thcs251, https://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine?Keyword=thcs251
