On a single chip, a TriMedia
TM-1100 delivers
real-time processing of audio, video, graphics,
and communications datastreams. With its low-
cost 133-MHz CPU and a full complement of
on-chip I/O and coprocessing peripheral units,
the TM-1100 media processor delivers up to
5.3 BOPS to new multimedia products. 100%
pin compatibility with the TM-1000 processor
ensures that developers can take immediate
advantage of up to 33% more processing power
in their existing TM-1000 designs.
Comparable in programmability to a general-
purpose processor, the TriMedia TM-1100
architecture enables development of multi-
media applications entirely in the C and C++
programming languages. Programmability
improves time-to-market, lowers development
costs, and extends product life through
software upgradability.
MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS
The TM-1100 is an ideal building block for any multimedia appli-
cation that processes multiple multimedia and communications
datastreams. It is well suited for creating a range of consumer and
professional products such as videophones, videoconferencing and
video editing systems, security systems, DVD encode/decode
devices, and digital television appliances.
SINGLE-CHIP MULTIMEDIA ENGINE
Powered by a low-cost, 133-MHz, C-programmable CPU, the
TriMedia TM-1100 strikes a perfect compromise between cost and
performance. To streamline data throughput, TM-1100 incorporates
independent on-chip DMA-driven peripheral units that manage
datastream I/O and formatting and accelerate processing of key
multimedia algorithms. To reap the full benefit of the CPU and pro-
cessing units, TM-1100’s sophisticated memory hierarchy manages
internal I/O and streamlines access to external memory. The result —
a single, low-cost programmable chip that powers standalone and
PC-hosted multimedia products.
