Renesas Electronics and Renesas Mobile announce R-Mobile A1 series of application processors

TOKYO, JAPAN: Renesas Electronics Corp., a premier provider of advanced semiconductor solutions, and its subsidiary, Renesas Mobile Corp., an innovative supplier of advanced cellular semiconductor solutions and platforms, announced the R-Mobile A1 series of application processor for PND (personal navigation device) and other portable devices.

The R-Mobile A1 series of devices integrate Renesas’ SH-Mobile R series and EMMA Mobile series, which have proven track records as application processors for PND and portable media players, and contribute to increased functionality, improved performance, and lower power consumption, while achieving significantly reduced total system costs.

Although equipment that includes ISDB-T one-segment broadcast reception functionality has become mainstream in portable equipment such as PNDs and portable media players, there are now increasing needs for higher image quality and higher functionality due to the widespread adoption of ISDB-T full-segment terrestrial digital TV broadcasting.

Furthermore, there are increasing demands for functionality such as: GUI displays to achieve improved operability; diverse and realistic 3-D graphics display for high-level human machine interfaces (HMIs); and high-performance multimedia support for video and audio. At the same time, as responding to these needs, by integrating these functions in a single chip, the R-Mobile A1 devices enable reduced system costs, more compact package size and shorter development time.
