IC-GRA-PMCa is a new family of graphics display controllers. It will improve solutions in embedded graphics applications such as industrial monitoring, marine and airplane displays, medical equipment, night vision systems.

This PMC graphics board bring numerous state-of-art functions to the existing graphics controllers today. It has been optimized for the embedded systems. It means that, in addition to many 2D & 3D rendering functions, there is original flexible layer concepts and particularly some interesting features such as alpha-blending, anti-aliasing, etc.

This graphics controller provides low power-consumption, large temperature range and long-term availability, which is essential in the embedded field.

Description

IC-GRA-PMCa is a PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) form factor with low power consumption. It is based on the latest highly multimedia Fujitsu graphics processor unit, the MB86297 (Carmine). A large bank of DRAM-DDR provides a fast memory video with 64-bit width.

Carmine is the new high-end extension to the Fujitsu Graphic Controller Family. It is built in CMOS 90nm technology with 8 metal layers. This chip carries a brand new graphics core which provides a high level of performance. All relevant blocks inside the chip are designed and optimized for multimedia applications. Carmine is full compatible to OpenGL ES 1.1. All transformed and lighting functions can be executed in hardware.

IC-GRA-PMCa contains floating point operation pipelines dedicated to graphics processing which allows 2D/3D graphics vertex processing including lighting and also supports hardware acceleration of OpenGL-ES.

IC-GRA-PMCa has two independent display output units. Both can generate individual display timings and resolutions. For each display channel, 8 layers and 4 alpha-planes are available.

IC-GRA-PMCa also features two independent video input channels. Each of them can capture independent YUV and RGB signals. The digital video capture function can store digital video data such as TV in graphics memory. It can display drawn images and video images on the same screen.

IC-GRA-PMCa exists in standard, extended and rugged grades. A conduction-cooled version will be available soon.
