NEC embeds DRAM in EMMA for mobile

NEC Electronics has moved its EMMA multimedia chip to the mobile market, adding embedded DRAM to the chip.
The first in the EMMA Mobile 1 series of system-on-chips (SoCs) is the Mobile 1-D, for use in portable audio/visual (A/V) devices such as multimedia players and mobile televisions.
The EMMA Mobile 1-D device integrates all the features necessary for playing multimedia content in a reduced package size of 12.7mm x 12.7mm, approximately 20 percent smaller in package size than previous NEC Electronics mobile SoC products. The EMMA Mobile 1-D also integrates embedded DRAM in the same package, greatly reducing the effort of mobile device system designers and improving the time-to-market for product deployment.
The EMMA Mobile 1-S, an SoC without embedded DRAM, is also available, which enables the flexibility of memory configuration to adopt several applications.
The EMMA Mobile 1 incorporates a high-end ARM CPU core ARM1176JZF-STM, a dedicated digital signal processing (DSP) core, and an advanced H.264 function block.
Pricing and Availability
Samples of NEC Electronics' EMMA Mobile 1-D and EMMA Mobile 1-S devices are available now, priced at US$40 and US$30, respectively. Volume production is scheduled to begin in October 2009, and monthly production is expected to reach approximately 1,000,000 units.
