TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) today announced that it will expand its line-up of ApP LiteTM processors with the launch of TZ5010XBG, TZ5011XBG, TZ5021XBG and TZ5023XBG targeting the Internet of Things (IoT). These products reduce power consumption using Toshiba proprietary hardware-based power management technology and system integration technology, which enables high memory efficiency and robust security features.
Sample shipments start today, with mass production scheduled to start in the end of this month for TZ5010XBG and TZ5011XBG, and in June for TZ5021XBG and TZ5023XBG.
The TZ5010XBG and the TZ5011XBG application processors, based on the ARM® Cortex®-A9 dual core processor, incorporate a built-in baseband for high-speed Wi-Fi® 802.11ac, graphics and video engine. These products are suitable for IoT devices where greater data capacity is required for media and high-definition images. They extend CPU performance, memory performance and temperature range and can be used in a broad selection of applications including industrial compared to earlier versions of the product line.
The TZ5021XBG and TZ5023XBG support LP-DDR2/3 memory, specialized low-power mode for mobile devices, and a small package size for IoT applications. Additionally, the TZ5023XBG has a low-power DSP, the Cadence® Tensilica® HiFi Mini, which executes voice, audio and sensor processing.
As part of this announcement, Toshiba has also released a general-purpose reference board, Android and Yocto Linux (Yocto Project™) Software Development Kits (SDK), and design guidelines for easy installation of the development environment.
Key Features
-
Built-in communication and signal processing engines specialized for specific applications.
- The TZ5010XBG and the TZ5011XBG have integrated Wi-Fi 802.11ac 2x2 baseband, a next-generation wireless communication technology enabling a stable, broadband wireless connection. TZ5021XBG and TZ5023XBG have built-in, low-power DSP and support a low-power mode enabling voice, audio and sensor processing. DSP is integrated only in the TZ5023XBG.
- Achieving high-efficient system performance.
- These products achieve high-efficiency system performance because of state-of-the-art memory efficiency, and low latency processing with a robust security system. These features enable a highly reliable and stable application with a better user experience.
- Hardware-based power management technology makes it possible to enter into a low-power mode in microseconds and to transit to low-power mode more easily compared to significantly slower software-based power management technology. It reduces power consumption and contributes to better thermal dissipation for most applications.
- Proprietary hardware based low-power technology for heat dissipation.
