ASIC for video processing
19 August 2008
Fabless semiconductor manufacturer uses Toshiba technology to create ASIC.
Toshiba Electronics Europe has announced the completion of an ASIC development project with Sweden-based video codec and image processing company, Logipard; a subsidiary of Anoto Group AB.
This low power ASIC has been designed for video processing applications being developed by Logipard customers by using Toshiba’s process and IP libraries, in conjunction with support from the Toshiba ELDEC (European LSI Design and Engineering Centre) facility in Dusseldorf.
Based on Toshiba’s 130nm process technology and integrated into a PFBGA281 package, the Argus IV ASIC video and image processing IC operates at 225MHz with a power consumption of 800mW. Features include MPEG-4 and H.264 encoding and decoding at SDTV resolution as well as VGA at 30fps. It also offers a 12bit ISP pipeline with bayer to YUV conversion and zoom and scale post-processing supporting up to 5Mpixel sensors with a processing speed of 75Mpixel per second. Multi-purpose, multi-level (1.8V, 2.8V, 3.3V) CMOS I/O, a mobile DDR interface with programmable drive functionality, and flexible power up and power down modes are also incorporated into the IC.
