“Los Angeles” incorporates advanced interface support for emerging standards such as SLIMbus and USB 2.0-based HSIC and ULPI, targeting sensor management and port expansion requirements that are being driven by the explosion of sensors and other peripherals in handheld applications. “San Francisco” incorporates 1080p support with HDMI and MIPI interfaces. It has been designed for video, multi-display, and high-bandwidth memory interface applications, targeting the convergence of video and image content being simultaneously viewed on home and handheld devices.

“We have created two new distinct families that target the two areas where smartphones and other handhelds differentiate,” said Kapil Shankar, CEO of SiliconBlue. “These devices will be available for designs this year, in time to support the explosion in new handheld products.”

More details regarding SiliconBlue’s 40nm-based mobileFPGA devices will be announced in 2Q2011.
