Key benefits

The STn8810 brings the following key benefits to mobile manufacturers and consumers:

Main features

The STn8810 processor platform enables compelling multimedia applications by means of its unique

distributed-processing architecture. The application processor features low-power smart accelerators which

handle all audio and video functions. These free the main CPU for control and program flow tasks, or allow

the CPU to enter power-saving modes to prolong battery life. The smart accelerators operate independently

and concurrently to ensure the lowest absolute system power and deterministic high-performance.

The main features of the platform are:

encoders, and offering a large number of 3-D surround effects,

accelerators, memory devices and peripherals,

serial ports, TV output, color LCD and camera interfaces),

systems (OSs).

Low power consumption

The new multimedia functionality of mobile products brings with it an increase in power consumption that is

outpacing advances in battery technology. The STn8810 chip saves on power by avoiding the need for high

clock speeds wherever possible, but its extremely low power consumption results from a systematic effort at

all design levels to reduce power requirements.

These include:

architectures and Java acceleration,

buffering and image scaling,

the CPU in power-saving modes as much as possible.
