Core trio boosts SoC platform
Oki Electric has enhanced its uPLAT series of integrated platforms, which lower development times of SoC LSIs, with the introduction of three core products.
More power from laser modules for WDM systems
Oki Electric has developed a trio of high-power 1480nm pump laser diode modules for WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) optical transmission.
Starting sample shipment from March 2005 and volume shipment in June 2005, Oki aims to ship 400 thousand chips per month for the two chips combined.
"ARM microcontrollers are used in various mobile handsets and mobile terminals worldwide because of its sophisticated features, low power consumption and high code efficiency".
"We target the personal and mobile market including high function remote controls, wireless headsets, digital home appliances, card-reader markets for this product", said Akira Kamo, President of the Silicon Solutions Company at Oki Electric.
"We will continue to develop LSI products for the personal and mobile market by utilising our strengths in small size packaging, low power consumption and ARM CPUs".
The new series is a 32bit general-purpose single chip microcontroller using ARM7 TDMI as the core, which was developed on PLAT-7B, Oki's platform for developing system LSIs.
It can be used for battery-based applications using its various options for low power consumption.
Because it is the smallest ARM microcontroller chip in the world using W-CSP technology, the ML67Q4060 series suits applications with limited packaging space such as highly sophisticated multifunction remote controls and wireless headsets.
An on-chip security function prevents programs and data on the Flash ROM from being stolen by a third party, which is a first for Oki's ARM core general-purpose system LSIs.
This security function prevents programs and data to be read by disabling the JTAG interface, making the device ideal for card readers with security information and meters with billing information.
Oki's ML67Q4060 and ML67Q4050 series will be exhibited at the Embedded Systems Conference 2005 in San Francisco from 8th to 10th March 2005 (Booth 810).
