NSC LM9704

LM9704 Real Time Digital Image Processor
General Description
Applications
The LM9704 contains all functions needed to build an SXGA or
VGA digital still and video camera. It incorporates a 16 bit RISC
microprocessor, a flexible image processing pipeline, hardware
JPEG compression, and the required peripheral modules in a
single IC. This architecture allows a very fast click-to-click time
and full resolution video without sacrificing image quality or cost;
because the computation extensive operations are processed by
circuitry dedicated to image processing. The highly optimized
memory management provided by the LM9704 keeps the memory cost of the complete camera to a minimum.
