Continuing a tradition of high-performance, low-cost media processors, the TriMedia™ TM-1300 delivers up to 66% more processing power1 to multimedia applications at a lower unit cost. By combining a 166-MHz CPU and a full complement of enhanced on-chip I/O and coprocessing units, TM-1300 achieves up to 6.5 billion operations per second—ideal for applications requiring real-time processing of video, audio, graphics, and communications datastreams.
TM-1300 boosts performance through a faster clock speed and a faster main memory interface than previous TriMedia processors. Datastream I/O is enhanced with a new on-chip unit for handling audio output in Sony/Philips digital format (SPDIF). Lower power consumption and a smaller footprint contribute to making the TM-1300 a more efficient and compact processing solution for new multimedia designs.
