Product catalog summary

Introduction to Graphics Controllers
Fujitsu's new graphics controllers are tailored for embedded graphics applications like car navigation and mobile terminals. They support 2D/3D rendering, flexible layers, and resolutions up to SXGA (1280 x 1024). Notably, the Jade family includes an embedded ARM CPU core.

Business Unit Graphics Solutions
Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe has established a Graphics Competence Center in Munich, focusing on developing devices and providing support across various markets, including automotive and multimedia. The center handles hardware/software design and offers application engineering support.

MB86290A ‘Cremson’
This 2D/3D graphics controller is optimized for car navigation and mobile terminals, featuring high-speed 3D graphics, low power consumption, and a 64-bit-wide external memory interface. It supports resolutions up to 1024 x 768 and includes features like anti-aliasing.

MB86291A ‘Scarlet’
An enhanced version of ‘Cremson’, it includes 16Mbit embedded SDRAM, video input functions, and a geometry processor, supporting picture-in-picture functions and resolutions up to 1024 x 768.

MB86292 ‘Orchid’
Similar to ‘Scarlet’, it allows for external video memory up to 32MB, retaining all functions of ‘Scarlet’ and optimized for applications needing more memory.

MB87P2020A ‘Jasmine’
Designed for low-cost systems, it supports various LCD panels and includes 8Mbit embedded SDRAM, 2D graphic acceleration, and digital video input compatibility.

MB86293 ‘Coral Q’
Offers increased frequency, a 64-bit memory bus, and supports six layers with advanced alpha-blending, enhancing texture mapping and image quality.

Overview
The document outlines Fujitsu's graphics controllers, focusing on compatibility, enhancements, and features of models like Coral and Carmine, designed for integration with host CPU buses.

Specifications
Built using CMOS 0.18µm technology, these controllers support resolutions up to 1280 x 768, with features like alpha blending and support for external memory up to 64MB. The MB86297A 'Carmine' supports resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 and is OpenGL ES 1.1 compatible.

Procedures and Enhancements
Enhancements include improved 2D-drawing functions, video input up-scaling, and new video input capabilities in Coral B and Coral P/PA models.

Key Features
Features include digital video input, video scaler, I2C interface, geometry processor, and configurable CPU-interface. The MB86296 'Coral PA' offers direct RGB666 video input and dual display support.

Product Roadmap
Fujitsu plans to develop enhanced controllers for digital audio/video applications, focusing on multimedia integration and single-chip solutions for navigation.

Evaluation Boards
Available for application development, these boards support various controllers and include Windows drivers and examples for easy programming.

Comparison Tables
Includes tables detailing specifications and features of different models, such as resolution and rendering capabilities.
