Enabling voice activation, Bluetooth, and USB connections in automotive interior systems, the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) Q-100-qualified i.MX31C 32-bit processor features a 400-MHz ARM11-36 core. The chip has a 3-D graphics processor, a hardware image-processing unit, a CMOS/CCD camera interface, a vector floating-point coprocessor, and a smart DMA controller.
The MCU is a key part of the Ford/Microsoft SYNC in-car communication and entertainment system and can encode MPEG4 and H.263 VGA at 30 fps. It comes in a 473 MAPBGA, 0.8-mm-pitch package, and operates at -40° to 85°C.
The IC’s system parallelism, accomplished via a 6 x 5 crossbar switch, nearly eliminates wait states and enables the processor to drive performance equivalent to processors with clock speeds up to 3 GHz, but without the power consumption. (From $21.80 ea/10,000available now.)
