As the heart of the application chipset, the i.MX53xD processor provides all the interfaces for connecting peripherals, such as WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, hard drive, camera sensors, and dual displays. Features of the i.MX53xD processor include the following: Applications processor-The i.MX53xD processors boost the capabilities of high-tier portable applications by satisfying the ever increasing MIPS needs of operating systems and games. Freescale’s Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) provides significant power reduction, allowing the device to run at lower voltage and frequency with sufficient MIPS for tasks such as audio decode. Multilevel memory system-The multilevel memory system of the i.MX53xD is based on the L1 instruction and data caches, L2 cache, internal and external memory. The i.MX53xD supports many types of external memory devices, including DDR2, low voltage DDR2, LPDDR2, DDR3, NOR Flash, PSRAM, cellular RAM, NAND Flash (MLC and SLC), OneNAND, and managed NAND including eMMC up to rev 4.4. Smart speed technology-The i.MX53xD device has power management throughout the IC that enables the rich suite of multimedia features and peripherals to consume minimum power in both active and various low power modes. Smart speed technology enables the designer to deliver a feature-rich product requiring levels of power far lower than industry expectations. Multimedia powerhouse-The multimedia performance of the i.MX53xD processor ARM core is boosted by a multilevel cache system, Neon (including advanced SIMD, 32-bit single-precision floating point support) and vector floating point coprocessors. The system is further enhanced by a multi-standard hardware video codec, autonomous image processing unit (IPU), SD and HD720p triple video (TV) encoder with triple video DAC, 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.MX53xD processors provide two independent, integrated graphics processing units: an OpenGL ES 2.0 3D graphics accelerator (33 Mtri/s, 200 Mpix/s, and 800 Mpix/s z-plane performance) and an OpenVG 1.1 2D graphics accelerator (200 Mpix/s).
