However, a discrete solution allows design optimization, offers higher power efficiency, flexibility and is easy to debug. Often, it is not possible to determine which choice will be better without understanding the details of design requirement.
This paper aims to discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of using Power … Read More → "The Power Management IC for the Intel® AtomTM Processor E6xx Series and Intel® Platform Controller Hub EG20T"
The Intel® Atom™ Processor E6xx Series for the embedded devices market includes the POWERVR* VXE core that provides video encoding capabilities, allowing to encode high definition video streams in the highly compressed H.264 format with a very low main CPU utilization, releasing the general purpose processor for other parallel workloads. This processor feature is available to application developers by means of the open Video Acceleration API (VAAPI [1]). This … Read More → "Hardware Accelerated H.264 Video Encoding using VAAPI on the Intel® Atom™ Processor E6xx Series"

These reference designs are highly software and hardware configurable, enabling rapid system configuration and design. The designs target typical broadcast applications such as switcher, multiviewer, converter, and video conferencing products.

The next generation family of Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAMs is the DDR3 SDRAM. DDR3 SDRAMs offer numerous advantages compared to DDR2. These devices are lower power, they operate at higher speeds, offer higher performance (2x the bandwidth), and come in larger densities. DDR3 devices provide a 30% reduction in power consumption compared to DDR2, primarily due to smaller die sizes and the lower supply voltage (1.5V for DDR3 vs. 1.8V for … Read More → "Implementing High-Speed DDR3 Memory Controllers in a Mid-Range FPGA"
