Renesas MP5225 3D mobile platform

Renesas has released the high-performance 3D mobile platform, the MP5225.

The mobile platform integrates the company’s LTE triple-mode modem platform, the SP2531, with its SH-Mobile APE5R application processor that provides 3D features, high-profile H264 video encode and decode and other peripherals, such as HDMI and USB interfaces.

The 5225 combines an application processor, in terms of graphics and video performance, with the 2531 modem platform incorporating a single-chip, triple-mode LTE modem supporting LTE/HSPA+/GSM, RF transceiver ICs, high-power amplifiers, power management devices and related software.

The 5225 allows OEMs and carriers to deliver next-generation applications and services for smartphones, tablet PCs and other consumer electronics devices enabled by LTE networks. The MP5225 supports OSs including Android, Windows, MeeGo, Symbian and others.

Key features of the SH-Mobile APE5R application processor include: H.264 1080p high-profile and 3D video - breakthrough power and performance combination providing 3D stereoscopic HD video, coding at 30 fps in multiple-views; third-generation streaming system architecture based on the first 1080p video solutions allowing optimised high-profile video; hardware off-load solution for achieving high-profile emerging codec support; 3D graphics and OpenCL (Note 1) support - the first claimed implementation of Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX MP SGX543MP enables 3D graphics. OpenCL can be supported.

Key features of the dual-core (1.2GHz) Cortex-A9 ARM CPU: based on Renesas Electronics’ CPU implementation expertise, the SH-Mobile APE5R incorporates a dual-core Cortex-A9 ARM CPU, realising a total of 6000 Dhrystone MIPS.
