1GHz low-power application processors for mobile devices from
Samsung
Samsung has introduced the S5PC110 and S5PV210, the two
new 1GHz ARM CORTEX-A8 based application processors. The
S5PC110 is targeted for small form-factor connected devices
such as multimedia intensive smartphones, and the S5PV210
is targeted for portable computing devices such as netbooks.
"More and more, user generated contents currently
accessed via the PC will be spread to mobile devices,"
said Dr. Kwang Hyun Kim, senior vice president, strategic
marketing team, System LSI Division, Samsung Electronics.
"PC-level performance with lower power consumption
will become mainstream requirements for advanced mobile
devices. Samsung developed S5PC110 and S5PV210 application
processors to satisfy these conflicting requirements to
enable a new level of user experience not previously possible."
The S5PC110 and S5PV210 processor are made using 45- nm
low power fabrication process and intricate low power architectures,
and each of these application processors comes with 32KB
data and 32KB instruction caches, and 512KB L2 cache. These
processors can handle real-time applications such as web
browsing and user interface (UI) smoothly with fast response
time.
Both the S5PC110 and S5PV210 are equipped with a powerful
built-in POWERVR SGX 3D graphics engine, licensed from Imagination
Technologies, to support sophisticated 3D UI and high-caliber
games. In addition, the two processors integrate a1080p
full HD codec engine that supports 30fps full HD video playback
and recording. A built-in HDMI1.3 interface allows output
of captured or downloaded mobile multimedia contents to
an external high definition digital display.
S5PC110 is targeted for small form factor mobile devices
that allows package-on-package vertical stacking of low
power, multiple chip package (MCP) memory such as OneDRAM,
mobile DDR and LP DDR2, reducing the overall foot print
of the memory and processor combo. The S5PV210 is targeted
for portable computing applications with a high performance
2-channel 32-bit DDR2 memory interface that is essential
for computing devices.
Package:
S5PC110: 0.5mm pitch, 14X14mm2 FBGA package
S5PV210: 0.65mm pitch, 17X17mm2 FBGA package
Availability: Customer samples from December, 2009.
