NEC multimedia processor package 3 different functional chip

NEC electronics developed the core functionality of the portable devices integrated application processor within a package. Packaged in a package of 3 chips, integrated with image and audio processing DSP kernel and CPU kernel LSI, USB2.0 and ATA, such as the interface between the LSI and power LSI. The sample will be delivered in September 2006, the sample price of 3000 yen (about $25.7), is scheduled to start production by the end of 06.

Package size 14mm * 14mm. Compared with the 3 chip packaging, new product packaging area of about 15%. The advantages of the invention also can save the time of processing the chip design circuit separately, thereby reducing the development burden. At the same time, can shorten the development cycle. The development of the products has been Ricoh assistance.

The processor envisaged for microwave digital TV playback, compression can handle per second 30 MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 QVGA size (320 x 240) image. Except in the integration of DSP kernel and CPU kernel LSI "MP201Core Logic" equipped with low power consumption of the DSP kernel, can be divided into 7 stages according to the working state of the power adjustment function as well as 3 clock signal control mode is also equipped with full consideration of the low power demand. In addition, the product is based on the NEC electronic embedded device development platform "platformOViA" and developed.

Inside the package, MP201 Core Logic and LSI LSI power interface adjacent stacked in MP201 Core Logic. The successful development of the new low noise power supply LSI, with other chips with the same package.
