2D/3D graphics SoC from Fujitsu for instrument cluster and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

Fujitsu Semiconductor America has released the Fujitsu MB86R11 2D/3D Graphics System-on-a-Chip (SoC) with an integrated GDC and GPU. The SoC provides graphics and effects for instrument cluster and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The MB86R11 is suitable for deployment with the Fujitsu 360° Wrap-Around Video Imaging Technology

The Fujitsu MB86R11 "Emerald-L" packs considerable graphical processing power and functionality into a compact 544-ball PBGA package. Based on the 400MHz ARM Cortex A9 processor and a powerful custom graphics core, the SoC delivers leading-edge two- and three-dimensional graphics. The graphics core, which is OpenGL 2.0-compliant1, features a unified shader array and 16 parallel floating point units. Three independent display controller units (DCUs) built into the graphics core support up to five displays total and four independent video-capture inputs. The MB86R11 "Emerald-L" graphics SoC also incorporates a memory controller, power management unit, and a wide range of peripheral and high-speed interfaces.

"The MB86R11 'Emerald-L' represents highly innovative, efficient, and integrated graphics system-on-a-chip technology for advanced automotive applications," said Dan Landeck, senior manager for marketing at Fujitsu Semiconductor America. "It builds upon the popular and successful Fujitsu MB86298 'Ruby Egraphics processor, which was the first to provide four displays and four video inputs on a single IC. The unique combination of an OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU and Fujitsu's powerful display controller technology enables the MB86R11 'Emerald-L Eto deliver stunning 2D/3D graphics performance."

The unified shader array of the MB86R11 supports vertex and fragment shaders. The pipeline allows for OpenGL ES 2.0-compliant graphics and drawing features such as anti-aliased graphical object drawing. The array incorporates 16- and 32-bit pixel color formats, a 32-bit pixel format frame buffer, and textures for RGBA, ARGB, and ABGR color ordering. A "visibility enhancement" feature performs adjacent pixel comparison to reproduce images with natural colors

The MB86R11 supports up to 1GB of 32-bit DDR3-800 or DDR2-800 memory and uses a unified memory architecture. This MB86R11 to provide a maximum memory performance of 3.2GB/second. The SoC's flexible power management unit allows the selective disabling and enabling of its core to control its power consumption at specific times.
