Introduction
Features include the following:
•
Smart Speed Technology—The
heart of the i.MX51 processors is a level of power management
throughout the device that enables the rich suite of multimedia features and peripherals to achieve
minimum system power consumption in both active and various low-power modes. Smart Speed
Technology enables the designer to deliver a feature-rich product that requires levels of power that
are far less than typical industry expectations.
•
Applications Processor—The
i.MX51 processors boost the capabilities of high-tier portable
applications by providing for the ever-increasing MIPS needs of operating systems and games.
Freescale’s Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) allows the device run at much lower
voltage and frequency with sufficient MIPS for tasks such as audio decode resulting in significant
power reduction.
•
Multimedia Powerhouse—The
multimedia performance of the i.MX51 processors is boosted by
a multi-level cache system and further enhanced by a Multi-Standard Hardware Video Codec,
autonomous Image Processing Unit, SD and HD720p Triple Video (TV) Encoder with triple video
DAC, Neon (including Advanced SIMD, 32-bit Single-Precision floating point support and Vector
Floating Point co-processor), and a programmable smart DMA (SDMA) controller.
•
Powerful Graphics Acceleration—Graphics
is the key to mobile game navigation, web browsing,
and other applications. The i.MX51 processors provide two independent, integrated Graphics
Processing Units: OpenGL ES 2.0 3D graphics accelerator (27 Mtri/s, 166 Mpix/s) and
OpenVG 1.1 2D graphics accelerator (166 Mpix/s).
•
Interface Flexibility—The
i.MX51 processor interface supports connection to all popular types of
external memories: DDR2, Mobile DDR, NOR Flash, PSRAM, Cellular RAM, NAND Flash
(MLC and SLC), and OneNAND. Designers seeking to provide products that deliver a rich
multimedia experience find a full suite of on-chip peripherals: LCD controller and CMOS sensor
interface, High-Speed USB On-The-Go with PHY, and three High-Speed USB hosts, multiple
expansion card ports (High-Speed MMC/SDIO Host and others), 10/100 Ethernet controller, and
a variety of other popular interfaces (PATA, UART, I
2
C, I
2
S serial audio, and SIM card, among
others).
•
Increased Security—Because
the need for advanced security for mobile devices continues to
increase, the i.MX51 processors deliver hardware-enabled security features that enable secure
e-commerce, digital rights management (DRM), information encryption, secure boot, and secure
software downloads. For detailed information about the MX51 security features contact your
Freescale representative.
