Q1 2006 - Slide 5


High Performance, Embedded Applications

• High performance

• Low power consumption


Q1 2006 - Slide 6


Historical Solutions to Performance• Microcontrollers

– Increase clock frequency => higher performance

» 0.18µm, 0.13µm and 90nm makes it possible

» Increased clock = Increased power consumption

• Digital Signal Processors (DSPs)– Dedicated to one particular task (ie: MPEG decode)

– Requires external or on-chip MCU for control

» Increases design complexity

» Increases Power consumption
