Processor CX92735Company Broadens Market Scope and Imaging Product Offering with High-performance SoC

Conexant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CNXT), a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor solutions for imaging, audio, video and Internet connectivity applications, today announced the first in a planned series of new system-on-chip (SoC) solutions targeted at the growing market for “connected” digital photo frames and interactive display appliances (IDAs). These products integrate Internet connectivity and touch-screen technology. The high-performance CX92735 supports advanced features including streaming media content, MP3 audio playback with slideshow functionality, and Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, and Ethernet connectivity.

“Conexant is a leading provider of solutions for multifunction printers and facsimile applications, and we have applied our proficiency in imaging technologies to deliver a new system-on-chip that allows us to expand into the growing, adjacent connected photo frame segment,” said Christian Scherp, president of Conexant. “We have extensive expertise in analog and mixed-signal design, firmware and software development, and in-depth applications knowledge. We will continue to leverage these strengths to capitalize on growth opportunities in the areas we address, and provide our customers with innovative solutions that contribute to their success.”

Connected frames and IDAs are offered in a wide variety of form-factors including speakerphones, VoIP phones, and digital photo frames. They can be used in a broad range of video, audio, telephony, and digital signage applications. For example, connected frames can be used within the home to send or receive text messages, make hands-free VoIP phone calls, and access and view information such as news, recipes, weather, and traffic reports from the Internet. Additional applications include interactive kiosks, point-of-sale terminals, baby monitors, and home automation, security, and monitoring systems. In addition, wireless operators are beginning to allow subscribers to use connected frames to receive data over the cellular network.

About the CX92735

“Our advanced imaging system-on-chip solution sets a new benchmark in terms of performance,” said Bernd Lienhard, senior vice president and general manager of Conexant’s Imaging and PC Media business. “In addition, the high level of integration allows our customers to quickly and cost-effectively develop a wide range of feature-rich connected frames and interactive display appliances using a single semiconductor solution.”
The CX92735 includes an integrated ARM9 processor with a vector floating point unit and a dedicated image processor, which simultaneously processes streamed content to maximize system performance. The device also features a high-speed double data rate memory (DDR2) interface and large data cache to further improve processing performance. The CX92735 is compliant with industry-standard video and audio formats including MPEG-4 and MP3. It is packaged in a 289-pin ball grid array. Additional features include:

  • High-resolution LCD controller: Supports high-definition resolution and key digital audio/video interfaces.
  • Two universal serial bus (USB) 2.0 host controllers: Enables high-speed, bidirectional data transfers.
  • Robust, integrated memory card interface: Supports major card types and secure digital input output (SDIO) expansion options, providing manufacturers with increased design flexibility.
  • Linux® and ThreadX® operating systems support.

A complete hardware, firmware, and software development kit, which allows manufacturers to reduce product development costs and deliver products to market more quickly, is also available.

In addition to high-performance system solutions for connected frames and IDAs, Conexant’s comprehensive imaging portfolio includes highly integrated MFP SoCs for inkjet, laser, and photo printers. The company also offers SoCs and datapumps for facsimile applications.
