Toshiba Electronics Europe is introducing an ARM-based microprocessor with an extended temperature device that is designed for man-machine interface (MMI) and other industrial applications requiring multimedia functionality.
The extended temperature TMPA910CRBXBG operates from -20 to +85 deg C. Based on a 32-bit ARM926EJ-S CPU core, the processor features a built-in LCD controller with support for TFT and STN display sizes up to 1024 x 768 pixels and has a touch screen interface that reduces the need for external components in MMI designs.
An LCD data processor accelerator (LCDA) delivers image scaling, filtering and blending functions and offers real time processing for movies. The LCDA supports resolutions up to WVGA (800x480).
The TMPA910CRBXBG has a CMOS image sensor interface that simplifies the implementation of applications requiring image capture. Additional connectivity includes SPI, UART, I2C, I2S, and a high-speed USB device (480Mbit/s).
The device is supported through the availability of a Starter Kit and Reference Platform that further speed application development and prototyping.
