1 Introduction
The i.MX50 applications processors are
multimedia-focused products offering high-performance
processing optimized for lowest power consumption.
The i.MX50 processors are Freescale Energy Efficiency
Solutions products.
The i.MX50 is optimized for portable multimedia
applications and features Freescale’s advanced
implementation of the ARM Cortex-A8 core, which
®
operates at speeds as high as 1 GHz. The i.MX50
provides a powerful display architecture, including a 2D
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and Pixel Processing
Pipeline (ePXP). Additionally, the i.MX50 includes a
complete integration of the electrophoretic display
function. The i.MX50 supports DDR2, LPDDR2, and
LPDDR1 DRAM at clock rate up to 266 MHz to enable
a range of performance and power trade-offs.
