Freescale Semiconductor’s
(NYSE:FSL) (NYSE:FSL.B) i.MX31 processors achieved a remarkable
milestone, shipping one million units in 167 days. The i.MX31
processor is a highly integrated and innovative multimedia engine that
is at the heart of some of the most popular portable media devices and
features an advanced image processing unit that is designed to deliver
an impressive viewing experience.
The i.MX family of applications processors is finding a home in a broad
range of wireless devices. Driving this adoption is Freescale’s
growing portfolio of high-resolution video codecs, multimedia
engineering expertise and Smart Speed™
integrated circuit architecture that extracts optimal processor
performance while extending battery life. This high-performance,
low-power innovation enables consumer electronic manufacturers to bring
a sensational video and audio experience, typically reserved for home
entertainment systems, to their customer’s
mobile devices.
“With multimedia content for mobile phones and
portable media players readily available, the ability to deliver a
cinematic video and audio experience relies heavily on the device’s
applications processor,” said Berardino
Baratta, general manager of the Multimedia Applications Division for
Freescale. “i.MX processors bring the LCD
screen to life with crystal clear video quality and vibrant, true colors
for a cinematic viewing experience that consumers can enjoy on the go.
More and more OEMs want this i.MX performance advantage in their mobile
entertainment devices.”
The powerful i.MX31 and i.MX31L multimedia applications processors
integrate an image processing unit engineered to support VGA 30 frames
per second for outstanding video quality. The i.MX processors are
designed to support the major video standards, including MPEG-2, MPEG-4,
AVI, DivX, H.263 and H.264, with best-in-class digital video compression.
Supporting Microsoft Windows operating systems
Freescale’s i.MX multimedia applications
processors are at the heart of a growing number of mobile phones running
Microsoft®
Windows®
mobile operating systems. Recently introduced products driven by the
i.MX21 multimedia applications processor that feature Microsoft Windows
mobile operating systems, include the Kinpo iDo S600 Pocket PC phone;
the Axia A108 PDA phone, dubbed the world’s
smallest Windows CE.Net™ PDA phone by its
manufacturer Oswin Technology; and the Amoi E8 smartphone. Each phone
includes the latest video and audio codecs, so consumers can play
downloaded movies, TV programs and home videos, as well as view photos
and listen to music files.
To help ensure a reliable, high-quality user experience on cell phones
and mobile entertainment devices based on a Windows embedded OS, i.MX
processors have earned the Microsoft PlaysForSure™
certification.
i.MX drives portable media players
As mobile entertainment device manufacturers look to incorporate video
into their next-generation designs, i.MX multimedia processors provide
the spectacular video quality, colors and rich mobile entertainment
experience consumers crave.
Mobile devices driven by i.MX applications processors available today
include:
AOCOS MP-200 mini MP4 player (i.MX21) –
integrates convenient portable audio/video playback, as well as radio
reception, games and electronic books
Techno PMP-10S and PMP-30S (i.MX21) –
first portable media players introduced by a domestic Chinese consumer
electronics company
Toshiba gigabeat®
S Series (i.MX31L) – a new line of
digital video and audio players powered by Microsoft Windows Portable
Media Center
Edge Products A2 (i.MX21) – an
in-cab controller with GPS navigation built-in, allows the driver to
switch among five available power levels on the fly, adding up to 125
more horsepower
Supa S300 All-In-One GPS Navigator (i.MX21) –
fully automatic with voice and visual instructions, route
calculation, automatic re-routing, distance-to-go and time-to-go/ETA
calculation

processing solutions at: www.freescale.com/imx.
Smart Speed technology
The i.MX31 and i.MX31L processors leverage Freescale’s
Smart Speed technology architecture, an intelligent integrative
approach that uses hardware accelerators to offload the CPU and a
crossbar switch to bring parallelism to the system. The 6x5 Smart Speed
crossbar switch nearly eliminates wait states. This results in fewer
effective cycles per instruction (eCPI) required, enabling the i.MX31
processors to drive equivalent performance to processors with clock
speeds up to 3 GHz, but without the power consumption penalty that goes
with higher operating frequencies. The power and audio performance of
Freescale’s multimedia platform is
complemented by the company’s highly
integrated Power Management and User Interface (PMUI) ICs.
