TriMedia Races Ahead with Media Processing CoreBy Susan Hospod TriMedia Technologies introduced the industry's fastest .13u media processor today at the Western 2001 Show in Anaheim, California. The company's latest embedded media processing core, the TM32-A, is based on TSMC's .13u low-voltage process and operates at 250MHz (worst case) and 350MHz (typical). With the ability to perform greater than 7 Giga-Operations-Per-Second and at an area of 10 square millimeters, TriMedia's TM32-A provides the media-processing horsepower and form factor needed in next-generation digital consumer products and interactive video games. TriMedia's proven IP is designed for seamless integration into SoC (system-on-chip) products and supports standard real-time operating systems (RTOS). TriMedia's VLIW architecture is ideally suited for performance-hungry media processing tasks, such as coding/decoding MPEG video streams in real-time, coding/decoding multi-channel audio streams, or multiplexing/demultiplexing broadcast transport streams. Design teams developing next-generation consumer products (such as personal video recorders, set-top boxes with interactive games, HDTV, and SOHO wired and wireless networks) can incorporate the TM32-A into their SoC designs to create end products that process multiple MPEG streams, which is difficult for current .18u technology. The standards-based TM32-A is built on mature VLIW technology and its IP database is compatible with most standard EDA tools. The processor is also supported with a complete line of TriMedia software applications and development tools. Link |
