On August 19, 2021, Parade announced the PS188, a USB 3.2 Hub chip with integrated DisplayPort™ 1.4a to HDMI™ 2.0 converter and dual USB Power Delivery 3.0 controllers. The PS188 upstream facing port supports USB 3.2 (Gen 2×1) and DP Alternate Mode while downstream ports offer HDMI 2.0, two USB 3.2 (Gen 2×1) ports as well as an additional USB 2.0-only port. The two integrated Power Delivery controllers provide full PD 3.0 functionality to the upstream port and one downstream USB Type-C® port. The PS188 represents the first fruits from Parade’s 2020 acquisition of Fresco Logic and combines Parade’s video expertise with Fresco’s USB Hub and Power Delivery technologies. PS188 joins Parade’s lineup alongside the PS186 DP to HDMI protocol converter, the FL5500 USB 3.2 hub and the FL7112 USB Type-C PD 3.0 Controller.
On September 29, 2021, Parade announced the DP818/DP816 timing controllers (TTcon) with an integrated touch controller, TC2200 source drivers (TSD) with integrated touch analog front ends (AFEs) and the TC2201, a Gate-on-Array (GOA) level shifter (TLS) for required display & touch voltage generation. This family of complementary devices target high resolution notebook platforms supporting Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) 1.4b with features such as high dynamic range (HDR) and Panel Self-Refresh (PSR). The DP818 Tcon supports TrueTouch in-cell capacitive touch and active stylus functionality for commercial notebook applications, while the DP816 provides a robust TrueTouch touch only solution for mainstream notebooks. The touch integrated Tcon, SD and level shifter combines Parade’s broad portfolio of patented display and touchscreen technology as well as proven display processing and high-speed signal technology to provide a low-power, highly integrated display and touchscreen solution for premium notebook in-cell a-Si or Oxide TFT LCD displays.
On October 12, 2021, Parade announced the availability of the PS5169 and PS5170 USB-C linear redrivers optimized for smartphones and ultra-mobile devices. The PS51xx family improves signal integrity for USB 3.2 and DisplayPort 1.4a signaling over the USB-C interconnect and consumes very low power. The PS5169 and PS5170 linear redrivers are fully compliant with the USB-IF USB 3.2 specification supporting up to Gen 2×2, or two lanes operating at 10 Gbps signaling rate. For DP Alt Mode support they comply with VESA DP 1.4a with up to 4 lanes at HBR3, or 8.1 Gbps link rate, and comply with VESA DisplayPort Alt Mode 2.0. The PS5170 integrates an AUX switch for SBU signals.
On October 19, 2021, Parade announced the availability of the PS8830 USB4 retimer for commercial and consumer PCs, host systems and peripherals. The PS8830 features full capabilities of USB4, DisplayPort 2.0 and Thunderbolt 3.0. This allows OEMs to offer a wide range of product offerings with future-proof platform longevity. The PS8830 is fully compliant with USB-IF’s USB4 specification supporting up to Gen 3×2 (2x 20Gbps) or 40Gbps. It supports USB4 tunneling of DP 1.4a and USB 3.2 as well as alternate modes including DP 2.0 up to UHBR20 and TBT 3.0 up to 41.25Gbps (2x 20.625Gbps). PS8830 will fall back to USB 3.2 mode when USB4 mode is not supported.
Based on current business outlook, Parade is providing the following guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021:
- Revenue: US$176.5 ~194.5 Million
- Gross Margin: 44.5% ~48.5%
