Fujitsu announced its development of the world's first embedded-FRAM LSI for digital TVs that enables simultaneous use of four-channel High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connector ports - such as for multiple DVD recorders, camcorders, and video game consoles - and which stores display data, such as resolution, that is read by audio-visual digital entertainment devices when they are used with digital TVs.

This new LSI from Fujitsu supports the HDMI™ connector interface specification standard for digital audio-visual equipment, and combines on a single embedded Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM) chip the display data memory for four HDMI™ connector ports, which previously required separate memory for each port. Using this LSI in digital TVs enables high-speed factory programming of Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) display data, and in addition facilitates reduction of overall production costs by lessening the number of parts required and reducing mounting space that was previously necessary.
