Processor combines 32-bit CPU and graphics engine

Chip targets high-end automotive navigation and dashboard systems

Said to be the first controller with a 32-bit CPU and a graphics engine on a single chip, the MB86R01 graphics controller is designed for high-end embedded automotive graphics applications such as navigation systems, dashboard systems, and rear-seat entertainment; plus point-of-sale terminals, and industrial control panels. The IC combines a 320 MHz 32-bit ARM926EJ-S CPU and a MB86296 graphics display processor.

The device’s fully synthesizable ARM processor is enhanced with Jazelle Java acceleration technology and features 16 Kbyte instruction and data data caches and a DDR2 memory management unit. The chip has a rendering engine for 2D/3D graphics acceleration, a geometry processor for floating-point transformations, a 1280 x 768 dual-display capability, and USB FS host, SD/MMC, parallel ATA, UART, SPI, GPIO, I2C interfaces.

Packaged in a 484-pin BGA, the device uses 3.3V (I/O), 1.8V (DDR2), and 1.2V (internal) supply voltages, operates over -40 to 85°C, and takes 2 W, typical. ($39 ea/sampe qtysamples available now.)
