Freescale expands i.MX Platform

Freescale Semiconductor has expanded its portfolio of i.MX applications processors that integrate hardware-based display controllers and ARM Cortex-A8 cores with three new members of the i.MX50 product family that enable compelling end devices featuring LCD and/or electronic paper displays (EPDs). Combined with Freescale's complementary new MC34708 power management IC (PMIC), this platform helps speed time to market and allows customers to buy right-sized, easy-to-use solutions for their specific applications.

Integrating an enhanced pixel processing pipeline (ePxP) and the OpenVG hardware accelerator, the devices allow customers to display advanced graphics and UIs with minimal CPU overhead. An integrated, enhanced LCD interface offers maximum display flexibility, supporting even the simultaneous deployment of EPD and LCD displays in a single end product. The i.MX50 processors support LCD displays with resolution up to 1280 x 1024 pixels (SGXA).

"Freescale is delivering comprehensive, optimized solutions with power savings and flexible design features, allowing customers one-stop shopping, ease-of-use and quick time to market," said Ken Obuszewski, Director of Product Marketing for Freescale's Multimedia Applications Division. "Our new i.MX50 devices offer an outstanding solution for simplified display applications, and now with a comprehensive portfolio to choose from, customers can pick the best option for their specific product needs."

The i.MX503 supports OpenVG acceleration and is ideal for portable products requiring more advanced user interfaces such as medical monitoring tablets and PNDs.

"E Ink is collaborating with Freescale to integrate hardware, simplify design and lower overall system costs," said Giovanni Mancini,Director of Product Management for E Ink Holdings. "This collaboration is creating new markets for ePaper/semiconductor solutions."
