Shanghai Jiao Tong University Licenses MIPS Processor for its DTV Product Development
Shanghai Jiao Tong University is one of the key universities developing technology standards for adoption in the DTV market in China. The University is working closely with MIPS Technologies in the design and development of the chip based on the MIPS32 4Kc hard core, utilizing leading edge tools, simulation software and documentation provided by MIPS Technologies. The resulting device will combine multiple MIPS cores and implement audio and video decoding algorithms.
"MIPS Technologies' acknowledged leadership in the DTV space, and now its presence here in Shanghai, made this the right technology decision for us," said Shibao Zheng, Vice Director of the IC and System Research Center, SJTU. "We're looking forward to developing SoCs in China that adhere to the standards, performance levels and price points of this fast growing market."
"We're delighted to collaborate with Shanghai Jiao Tong University in the development of next generation SoCs that will help drive China's DTV market forward," said Jack Browne, MIPS Technologies' VP of Worldwide Sales. "Our proven architecture, together with a robust DTV software infrastructure that includes Java, audio and video decoding will help SJTU implement new localized standards and deliver a superior chip that will allow manufacturers to compete and win in the digital TV market."
About the MIPS32 4Kc SMIC .18 Hard Core
The MIPS32 4Kc SMIC .18 micron hard core gives designers more performance and greater flexibility to achieve higher system throughput while controlling silicon cost. The flexibility and re-programmability enables upgrades in software as protocol specifications or market requirements evolve. With a worst case frequency of 190MHz and a die area of 3.42 square millimeters, the 4Kc SMIC .18 hard core offers a tremendous price-performance advantage to SoC designers.
