The chip includes the following features:
1. The new system LSI adopts a new architecture comprising of Panasonic’s UniPhier®*1 processor with a proven track record in high quality processing of audio and visual content and a general-purpose high speed dual CPU which has high performance for network applications to realize a high performance and high resolution Smart TVs.
2. Adopting the industry’s fastest*2 1.4-GHz dual core CPU (ARM®*3 Cortex-A9TM*3 Dual), it can achieve fast, stress-free and smooth operation in network applications.
3. A high-performance 3D graphics circuit supporting full HD resolution is essential for smart TVs. Integrating such a 3D graphics circuit and audio and video codec, the new system LSI has all the functions required for smart TVs on a single chip. As a result, it enables to deliver exciting images by combining graphics and video. Further, the new chip enables to cut power consumption by about 40%*4.
The following technologies have made this chip possible:
1. UniPhier®*1 new architectures, which enables parallel, simultaneous operation of the UniPhier®*1 processor’s TV signal processing that is in real time treatable of AV contents and the dual-core CPU’s handling of wide range open-source software.
2. Circuit design technology for high-speed processors, enabling implementation of a dual-core CPU and high-capacity cache memory, as well as operation at 1.4-GHz clock frequency.
3. One-chip system LSI integration technology that combines UniPhier®*1processor and high speed dual-core CPU, high-performance 3D graphics circuitry with unified memory architecture which achieving efficient data transfers between shared external memory.
