Ultra Low-Power Processor Family: Au1210®NetLogic Microsystems’ industry-leading Alchemy® Processor family comprises a series of ultra low-power embedded processors that deliver the powerful processing performance, ultra low-power functionality and market specific integration required for next-generation products like enterprise thin clients, automotive infotainment, telematics, and other media rich embedded applications. The NetLogic Microsystems Au1210® navigation processor is a derivative of the NetLogic Microsystems Au1250 processor and is optimized for Portable Navigation Devices (PNDs) and dedicated media applications. The Au1210 is both pin- and software-compatible with the Ultra Low-Power Au1200® and Au1250 processors, and enjoys similar functions of the Au1250 except for reduced clock rate, video resolution, and AES encryption/decryption support. The Au1210 processor operates at frequencies up to 400MHz and supports video decode up to Wide-CIF resolution (480x288). This targeted functionality enables the Au1210 to address the needs of cost-sensitive applications such as GPS navigation, where video playback is important, but full D1 video resolution is not required. The processor is available in an extended temperature range option of -40ºC to 100ºC for all speeds. The Ultra Low-Power family of pin-compatible Media and Navigation enables designers to support multiple price-performance points and application requirements from a single board design. HighlightsThe Au1210 processor also leverages a unique approach to DDR1 and DDR2 memory to deliver better overall performance
than SDRAM components. And, the Au1210 processor achieves
faster I/O via USB 2.0 to give designers a range of enhanced connectivity options. Primary Features
