New multi-core OMAP4 application platform (TI)

Texas Instruments (TI) today announced the launch of its new OMAPTM 4 mobile application platform, which will help smartphone and mobile Internet device (MID) manufacturers create the future of the mobile market. The OMAP 4 platform delivers an amazing new multimedia user experience, such as 1080p video recording and playback, 20 megapixel (MP) video, and support for about 1 week of audio playback time. Compared with the most popular smartphones in the industry, the new platform has significantly improved performance and playback time, such as 10 times faster web page loading time, 7 times higher computing performance, 6 times higher video resolution, and enhanced graphics performance. 10 times, audio playback time is extended by 6 times, etc.

At the heart of the OMAP 4 platform is a powerful system-on-a-chip that combines low power and high performance. The OMAP 4 processor provides the perfect balance between the processing power of the four engines, including a programmable multimedia engine based on TI C64x DSP and low-power, multi-format hardware accelerators; support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), dual-core ARM®-based CortexTM-A9 MPCoreTM's universal processing engine with speeds in excess of 1 GHz per core; high-performance programmable graphics engine; unparalleled image signal processor (ISP) for video and image performance. In addition, the OMAP 4 platform includes a comprehensive and comprehensive software suite, power management technology, and other supporting components to provide the foundation necessary to create devices that deliver superior mobile computing performance at very low power.

Greg Delagi, Senior Vice President and Head of TI's Wireless Business Unit, said: "In the past 10 years, TI has been committed to enabling the OMAP product family to achieve high performance and low power consumption in order to enable our customers to quickly and easily adapt to market trends. Ideally balanced. The OMAP 4 platform will enable a new range of mobile devices to redefine the boundaries of smartphones and MID products."

The OMAP 4 platform uses 45 nanometer (nm) process technology, enabling mobile device manufacturers to fully meet the needs of future mobile terminal applications, while also providing performance space and programmability support for applications that are still in the concept stage. The new platform will support the industry's leading mobile operating system and be tested in real-world applications to balance the experience of many mobile product consumers, simplifying application development and helping handset manufacturers quickly bring their products to market.

Significant advantages of the OMAP 4 platform:
• Mobile computing performance and advanced multimedia features with additional performance space and flexibility to meet the needs of next-generation applications. A powerful combination of programmability and multi-core performance provides the flexibility to support emerging applications and standards. The first members of the product line include the OMAP4430 and OMAP4440, which have the following features:
o 4 powerful high performance processing engines:
 Dual-core Cortex-A9 MPCore, SMP-compatible general purpose processing engine 可编程 TI C64x DSP and low-power, multi-format hardware accelerator programmable multimedia engine  POWERVRTM SGX540 graphics engine 专用 dedicated ISP
o Comprehensive 1080p multi-standard HD recording and playback
o comparable to digital SLR performance, 20 megapixel imaging
o 3D user interface with realistic graphics, simple and intuitive touch screen, large screen local display beyond WSXGA, and HDMI-compatible external display
o Industry-leading power management technology that delivers superior multimedia performance while maximizing battery life:
1080 More than 10 hours of 1080p HD video playback; over 4 hours of 1080p HD recording 超过 Over 140 hours of CD quality audio playback

• Industry-leading mobile operating systems provide the broadest range of support, and comprehensive and comprehensive software suites can be used to significantly accelerate time-to-market. The OMAP 4 platform will support a variety of Linux derivative versions, such as Android mobile platforms and LiMo, as well as Symbian OSTM and Microsoft® Windows® Mobile. In addition, the software of the OMAP 4 platform has been tested and validated to the application level, which greatly accelerates the development process. To further simplify the design process, the OMAP 4 platform also includes:
o Pre-integrated support for mobile connectivity, including TI's current and future combined WiLinkTM Wi-Fi solutions, NaviLinkTM GPS solutions, and BlueLinkTM Bluetooth® solutions;
o Pre-verified modem interface software to easily connect the OMAP 4 platform to any external modem;
o New power and audio management solutions (TWL6030 and TWL6040) are designed to meet the performance needs of the OMAP 4 platform;
o A broad portfolio of other system hardware solutions optimized for the OMAP 4 platform, including DLP® Pico projection technology, analog components and other complementary technologies.

• An open, flexible platform for innovation that delivers a great user experience and breakthrough mobile computing performance. TI's commitment to open source software, development tools, and a broad range of third-party networks helps build a large-scale OMAP mobile app developer community that spans the globe. Corresponding to this commitment is a powerful and stable development tool such as the Zoom OMAP mobile development platform that makes it easy for developers to turn exciting new user experiences into reality.

Availability
The TI OMAP 4 platform and development tools are expected to be sampling in the second quarter of 2009 and volume production in the second quarter of 2010. These products are targeted at wireless OEMs and ODMs that are procured in large quantities and are not available through distributors.

Custom PCB Assembly = Custom Printed Circuit Board Assembly, which means the PCB Board is customized as the customer required and designed. Zhongfeng would manufacture the PCB boards follow the design file, source the components follow the BOM file and do the PCB Assembly job follow the assembly drawing and the pick&place file. After PCB assembly done, the components would be mounted on the PCB boards tightly and connected each other through the copper circuits. We call such board as PCBA board or custom PCBA board.

Depends on the components assembly types, it have THT PCB assembly, SMT PCB Assembly , one sided SMT and THT PCB assembly, two sided SMT and THT PCB assembly.

Depends on the PCB type, it have Rigid PCB Assembly , Flex PCB Assembly and Flex-Rigid PCB Assembly.

Also we would call some PCB assembly types as Prototype PCB Assembly, Mass PCB Assembly , Turnkey PCB Assembly, LED PCB Assembly and BGA PCB Assembly , etc.

With our 15years professional experience, we are available for all types of PCB assembly service from prototype to mass production, available for 01005, 0201, 0.3mm BGA, 0.3mm QFP.
