VeriSilicon Launches New Families of Advanced Audio / Video Application Platforms to Accelerate Portable Multimedia Designs
- VZ.Video family incorporating state-of-the-art, low-power video hardware requiring less than 66 MHz for D1 @ 30 fps decode or encode
- VZ.Audio family enabling sub $1 MP3 ICs with the introduction of new products such as ZSP(R) 210 and USB 2.0 OTG
VZ.Video provides leading-class video capability for a full range of portable video standards such as:
- MPEG2
- H.263 P3
- MPEG4 Simple Profile and Advanced Simple Profile
- H.264 Baseline Profile and Main Profile
- VC-1 (WMV9) Simple Profile and Main Profile
- DivX
- MJPEG
The VZ.Audio family is based on the popular ZSP G1 architecture and features five different DSP core options to give system designers the maximum flexibility in selecting the perfect balance between system performance and cost, depending on their specific audio requirements. The ZSP cores differ in size and performance, ranging from a single-MAC, single-issue to a dual-MAC, quad-issue DSP architecture. For example VZ.Audio-210 includes the new ZSP210 core, with instruction cache and 32-bit address range support for advanced software processing while minimizing on-chip memory cost. Starting at 35,000 gates and 3uW/MHz on a 0.13um process, ZSP has significantly lower power and lower area than alternative processors. All ZSP cores are software compatible, enabling system developers to fully leverage their software investment in future designs.
VZ.Audio is inclusive of audio application software. Customers can select from a wide range of technologies:

As part of the platforms offering, Customers may also incorporate components of the V.Blox IP library for a complete, end-to-end SoC solution. V.Blox provides a full range of digital and analog blocks including: audio DAC/CODEC, DC-DC converter, I2C, PLL, LCD Driver, USB 2.0 OTG FS controller and PHY. VeriSilicon Solution Partner SoC IPs -- such as the ARM7TDMI®, ARM922T(TM), and ARM926EJ-S(TM) processors from ARM and the embedded 1T SRAM technology from Mosys -- are also available as a part of the VZ.Video and VZ.Audio platforms.
"VZ.Video and VZ.Audio represent significant product introductions for VeriSilicon and our commitment towards providing total platform solutions for our focused end market", said Federico Arcelli, Corporate VP of Worldwide Sales & Marketing. "Both platforms feature unrivalled audio / video technologies that dramatically reduce project development time to get to market quicker with superior products in terms of features and performance. When combined with our turnkey-ASIC capabilities, we are enabling a unique end-to-end SoC value proposition to our Customers."
Availability
VZ.Video and VZ.Audio are immediately available either as part of VeriSilicon ASIC Turnkey offering or as licensable SoC platforms. System designers may also license individual components or customized bundled solutions to substantially lower development and total upfront costs.
