SMP parallel processing for higher performance and efciency TIs OMAP 4 applications processor is one of the rst dual-core, ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore based architectures and employs parallel processing for higher performance and efciency. Handset developers and customers are demanding higher computing performance than single core solutions can offer today, driving the need for SMP-based architectures. But, what exactly is SMP? SMP allows identical processing subsystems to run the same instruction set; have equal access to memory, I/Os and external interrupts; and run a single copy of the operating system to control all the cores. SMPs scalable performance activates only the cores that are needed for that particular process to reduce power consumption or substantially increase performance. IVA 3 Hardware accelerator The thirdgeneration IVA on the OMAP 4 applications processor is divided into two sections: a power-optimized, multi-format hardware accelerator for mainstream codecs and a programmable digital signal processor (DSP) based portion for emerging codecs and audio. IVA 3 delivers up to 1080p at 30-frames per second (fps) encode/decode and the broadest support for multimedia codecs available today, including, but not limited to: H.264 HP MPEG4 ASP VC-1 AP MPEG-2 MP ON2 VP7

IVA 3 enables advanced multimedia performance at low power levels while maintaining the exibility to allow developers to quickly update devices to address the industrys evolving standards. IVA3 also provides support for High Dfinition stereoscopic 3D encode/decode (OMAP4430: 720p, OMAP4460: 1080p). Graphics accelerator Mobile handsets of today are being dened by the user interface and are more graphical than ever before. Handsets must support large screen sizes at higher frames per second while still consuming less power than before. To meet these needs and increase the appeal and marketability of consumer devices, hardware accelerated graphics are needed. TIs OMAP 4 applications processor integrates Imagination Technologies POWERVR SGX540 graphics accelerator core to deliver immersive user interfaces, advanced gaming and rich 3D mapping at 4x the sustained performance compared to the previous SGX530 core. The OMAP 4 graphics accelerator uses a Tile Based Deferred Rendering (TBDR) architecture to deliver state of the art support for 2D and 3D graphics and supports all the major APIs, including: OpenGL ES v2.0, OpenGL ES v1.1, OpenVG v1.1 and EGL v1.3. The graphics accelerator is a fully programmable, multithreaded IP core and provides optimal load balancing with advanced scheduling hardware. Display sub-system The OMAP 4 applications processor display sub-system is a exible multi-pipeline system that supports all displays, including multi-touch, to deliver

larger, color-rich viewing of local or external displays. The platform can also interface to MIPI-compliant serial displays as well as parallel displays for use in Smartphones, Tablets and other multimedia-rich mobile devices. To drive external displays, the OMAP 4 applications processor includes a PAL/NTSC composite output with an integrated 10-bit video digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and video amplifier featuring built-in TV cable detection. An integrated HDMI v1.3 transmitter with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and deep color support can drive an external HD display from the handset, making it easy to share multimedia content. The analog and digital TV outputs are mutually exclusive, giving customers full exibility in choosing their display format. Imaging sub-system The OMAP 4 applications processors imaging sub-system includes a exible yet powerful image signal processor that is capable of supporting camera sensors up to 20-megapixel resolution at less than one-second shot-to-shot delay, comparable to the best digital still cameras available.
