Quatro ® 4200 Family 4200/4201/4202 Programmable SOC Solution for Printers and All-in-Ones Product Brief Driving the Digital Lifestyle Imaging Zoran Corporation 1390 Kifer Road Sunnyvale, CA 94086-5305 Software Processors Quatro SOCs Solutions www.zoran.com The Quatro 4200 family of SOC solutions advances the integration standard and value set by their predecessor, the market-leading Quatro 4100 for feature-rich printer appliances. Building upon the cost-effective 4100, the 4200 family adds new processing and connectivity features. This enables a lower BOM cost as well as the addition of valuable new product features. Like the Quatro 4100, the 4200 family integrates two proven processors, the ARM7 RISC CPU core and Zoran's Quatro SIMD DSP core, providing OEMs with an easily programmable and inexpensive controller platform. The 4200 family is ideal for applications that require one or more PCindependent functions such as color inkjet AIOs, monochrome and color laser AIOs, and direct-connect photo printers with Hi-Speed USB or memory card interfaces.

Driving this growth are lower prices, innovative features, and the proliferation of image-rich content from digital cameras, scanned documents, and the Web. The 4200 family is designed to address the aggressive cost requirements of these segments. Through its full programmability, the 4200 family allows OEMs to rapidly bring products to market and with more innovative features, including graphical LCD displays, fax, and high-speed USB camera docks. Programmable Platform The 4200 family is a highly integrated SOC solution for appliance printers that OEMs can program to implement the features and associated image processing required across a range of products. Because it is programmable, the 4200 family offers OEMs both 07/06-MMCP significant time-to-market advantages and differentiation over conventional ASIC solutions. Quatro Architecture The 4200 family is based on a scalable, extensible platform for constructing programmable SOC solutions in imaging and printing devices. At the heart of the architecture are four key elements: • ARM 32-bit RISC CPU core • Quatro 4-datapath SIMD DSP core • Industry-standard internal bus • Easy-to-use C-based programming environment Imaging-Quatro 4200-PB-2.0 Quatro 4200 Family 4200/4201/4202 Driving the Digital Lifestyle Programmable SOC Solution for Printers and All-in-Ones Product Brief Description (continued) Processing Modules • 67 MHz ARM7 32-bit RISC CPU core • 133 MHz Quatro 4-datapath SIMD DSP core • 133 MHz JBIG compression/decompression core • 133 MHz JPEG assist module Interfaces Modules • 133 MHz 8-bit or 16-bit SDRAM interface • USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480 Mbps) device interface (including PHY) • USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480 Mbps) and Full-Speed (12 Mbps) hosts • Memory card interface: CompactFlash (including Microdrive), Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, Secure Digital, xD-Picture Card, MultiMediaCard, and SmartMedia • Integrated 16-bit scanner AFE supporting CCD and CIS scanners • Powerful programmable printer and scanner mechanism control interface with dual 133 MHz 8-bit flexRISC processors • 15-channel, 3MHz 10-bit A/D • System bus interface • General-purpose I/O interface • Serial port • JTAG interface • NTSC/PAL video output • Graphical LCD interface By pairing the ARM CPU core with the Quatro DSP core, the Quatro solution provides OEMs with a unique combination of high performance processing and easy-to-use programmability. The ARM CPU core, the established leader in embedded CPU cores, delivers high performance system and control processing with dense code size and a highly regarded software development tool suite. Key Specifications • 216-pin LQFP or 292-pin BGA package • 0.18 micron process • On-chip PLL with EMI reduction • Full scan design and on-chip memory BIST for high production test coverage • Core voltage 1.8V • I/O voltage 3.3V (5V tolerant) • Power dissipation 2W • Sleep mode The 4200 family Quatro DSP core builds on 6 generations and 10 years of Zoran Quatro DSP technology. The 4-datapath parallel processing Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture is specifically tailored for imaging applications, delivering unmatched performance. The Quatro DSP offers up to 530 million multiplyaccumulates (MACs) per second at 133 MHz, allowing new imaging features to be quickly implemented without changing hardware, enabling rapid time-to-market and minimizing development expense. Programming Environment The programming environment for the 4200 family is based on the ARM RealView Developer Suite, widely recognized as one of the best embedded development tool sets available. To these proven ARM tools Zoran integrates a set of tools for programming the Quatro DSP—C compiler assembler, simulator, debugger, and libraries. Using the ARM CPU and Quatro DSP simulators, an OEM’s complete system—both system functions and image processing pipelines—can be fully developed and simulated on a PC. Zoran’s extensive library of optimized image processing algorithms makes developing image processing pipelines easy.
