Toshiba Launches ARM-Based Application Processors with Sound, Image Data-Mining and Security Functions
Toshiba is launching three new TZ2100 application processors, the latest additions to its ApP Lite family?s ARM Cortex-A9-based TZ2000 series. The TZ2100 high performance application processors support enhanced sound and image data-mining, along with communications and security functions.
TZ2100 can operate at a maximum frequency at 600MHz and can be used in a wide range of products such as the embedded devices, handheld devices, and industrial equipment.
Toshiba will start sampling the processors from mid-December, with mass production scheduled to start in June, 2015.
Key Features
- ARM Cortex-A9 operating at 600MHz
- L1 Cache: 32KByte, L2 Cache: 128KByte, Embedded FPU
- 300MHz version is also available.
- Accommodates DDR3-800/DDR3L-800 16bit width
- Toshiba's power-saving technology enables long time data back-up and RTC operation
- Enables long time data back-up and RTC operation with one single coin cell battery.
- Camera input, graphics and LCD output
- Suitable specification for applications such as panel control devices.
- Secure boot system and data encryption function
- Secure system uses encryption circuit is available as an option. Incorporating program area in a chip can be robust against data falsifying and hacking.
- 1MByte SRAM built-in
- 1MByte of built-in SRAM supports processing of start-up code and data during program execution, without any need for external DRAM.
- External expanded bus interface
- Supports use of memory with an external connection, which is necessary for amusement devices and industrial equipment
