From smartphones to personal navigation devices, the Samsung ARM 1176 based S3C6410 Mobile Application Processor supports the requirements of a broad array of applications. The S3C6410 is both pin and software compatible with other members of its family - the S3C6400 and S3C6432 application processors. Taking advantage of the performance scalability of these processor platforms, the S3C6410 offers advanced mobile design capabilities with a fast time-to-market by replacing either existing application processor and reusing the hardware and software design resources already invested. Application processors introduced before the Samsung S3C6410 did not leverage the full capabilities of 3D hardware accelerators. The S3C6410 processor features a built-in, state-of-the-art 3D, 4M triangles/sec hardware accelerator with OpenGL ES 1.1/ 2.0 and D3DM API support. Products incorporating this hardware accelerator in the S3C6410 enjoy the following advantages:

• 3D graphics performance unmatched by software-only implementations
• Reduced board space, since no external 3D graphics hardware is required
• Better load balancing by relieving the CPU from cycle intensive 3D graphics functions
• Lower power consumption due to optimized and dedicated hardware, resulting in longer battery life

High-quality video playback is fast becoming a must-have feature for smartphones, portable media players, GPS navigation units, and TV-enabled mobile devices. The S3C6410 provides a cost-effective, low power, high-performance solution for portable designs:

• Built-in hardware and Multi-Format Codec to enhance the multimedia experience: Supports Standard Definition (SD) level encoding/decoding of multiple content formats including MPEG4, H.263, H.264 and VC1, for real-time video conferencing and TV-out.
• Optimized interface for high memory bandwidth requirements: Memory system has Flash/ROM external memory ports for parallel access. The Flash/ROM ports support NAND Flash, NOR-Flash, OneNAND and ROM type external memory. The DRAM port can be configured to support mobile DDR or standard SDRAM.
• Software support to reduce application design time: Existing applications on Samsung application processor families can be ported to S3C6410 application processors with minimal changes to the BSP. An evaluation board, allowing different operating system support (such as for Windows CE, Windows Mobile, Linux, and Symbian), is provided to reduce application design time.
• Rich peripherals to reduce total system cost and enhance overall functionality: Examples include an 8-bit ITU camera interface of up to 4M pixel (for scaled) and 16M pixel (for unscaled) resolutions; a TFT 24-bit true color LCD controller; a System Manager (for power management); an On-chip USB 2.0 OTG operating at high speed (480 Mbps), etc.
• Memory stacking options for smaller footprints: The S3C6410 can be combined with various memory choices via Package-on-Package (POP) or Multiple-Chip-Package (MCP), which results in higher design flexibility as well as reductions in Bill of Material (BoM) costs, power consumption and board space.
