A 152mW Mobile Multimedia SoC with Fully Programmable
3D Graphics and MPEG4/H.264/JPEG

 

Abstract

We present a 152mW multimedia SoC with MPEG4 codec, H.264 decoder, JPEG codec and fully programmable 3D graphics for mobile applications. The unified shader in 3D graphics engine provides fully programmable 3D graphics with 35% area and 28% power reduction. Logarithmic lighting engine and the specialized lighting instruction give 9.1Mvertices/s. The merged JPEG/MPEG4 codec and the unified shader reduce the silicon area further and the SoC consumes 6.4mm x 6.4mm in 0.13um CMOS logic process
