“With diamonds, I dare to take porcelain.†When popular applications such as Internet of Things (IoT), smart cars, and high-definition video are full of wealth, does semiconductor manufacturers have enough advanced technology to deal with it? Especially in the market segments that require high performance, the requirements for semiconductor manufacturers are higher. For example, the Internet of Things requires a small, low-power, high-reliability memory solution. Smart cars require advanced graphics display controllers to implement ADAS functions, while real-time 4K requires H.265 encoding capabilities.
At this year's Shanghai Electronics Show in Munich, several related technologies such as "low-key luxury and connotation" displayed by relevant manufacturers have attracted the attention of the author: high-reliability FRAM provides high-performance storage solutions for Internet of Things, industrial automation, medical electronics, etc. Solution; Milbeaut ISP is making great strides in the field of mobile terminals and security surveillance; GDC, the vehicle graphics display controller, leads the world in the field of automotive graphics display controllers; and the world's first chip, the MB86M31, which supports 4K HEVC hard coding, is broadcast. TV injects new vitality.

FRAM is everywhere in the Internet of Things, industrial electronics, medical electronics...
FRAM is a star product of Fujitsu Semiconductor and one of its most distinctive products. With the entire process from FRAM research and development, design to mass production and packaging, and years of experience, Fujitsu Semiconductor can always guarantee the high quality and stable supply of FRAM products.
“'Multiple', 'Fast', 'Province' can visually summarize the characteristics of FRAM. 'Multi' refers to the high read/write durability of FRAM (1 trillion times), which can record operating history and system frequently. State; 'fast' refers to FRAM's high-speed programming (40,000 times EEPROM) feature, which can help system designers solve the problem of sudden power failure data loss; 'province' refers to FRAM ultra-low power consumption (It is 1/1,000 of EEPROM), especially when writing, no boost is required." Cai Zhenyu, Marketing Manager of Fujitsu Semiconductor (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. pointed out.

FRAM's non-volatile, high-speed write, high-endurance and low-power features make it fast for applications such as the Internet of Things (such as water, electricity, gas meters, etc.) and industrial electronics (such as factory automation). darling. As shown in Figure 3 below, the main application areas of FRAM cell memory.

"Our FRAM product line is quite broad, ranging from 4Kb to 4Mb, covering SPI and I2C serial interfaces, parallel interfaces. It is expected that next year, our 64Kb and 256Kb automotive-grade products with SPI interface will be introduced. This will drive FRAM applications. In automotive electronics, such as car navigation." Cai Zhenyu revealed: "The 1M and 4M QSPI interface products are also in our plans."

In addition to stand-alone FRAM products, Fujitsu Semiconductor also offers FRAM RFID solutions, including HF (high frequency) and UHF (UHF) series, which are especially suitable for high reliability electronic label applications such as medical labels. In addition to the aforementioned non-volatile, high-speed writing, high-endurance and low-power characteristics, FRAM has the advantage of being 'immunized' for some X-ray and gamma-ray environments. It will be affected, and traditional non-volatile memory such as EEPROM will not work. If it is illuminated by gamma lines or X-rays, the data will be lost. Therefore, FRAM RFID is very suitable for medical device electronic label applications that often need to be sterilized by gamma rays, which can well realize the management of warehousing, logistics and patient data, and benefit the people.
Milbeaut ISP - professionally used in mobile terminals and security monitoring
On the mobile terminal side, we have to focus on the image signal processor (ISP). This is because Socionext (formerly Fujitsu Semiconductor) has more than 20 years of R&D experience in image processing. Socionext's Milbeaut ISP has become synonymous with professional image processors.
“Milbeaut has a very high proportion of the global digital camera ISP market share. Most of the world's leading digital camera manufacturers have cooperated with us, and there are also a large number of successful applications in SLR digital cameras.†Suo Xi Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. Market and The sales department-SoC solution senior manager roadmap said: "In mobile applications, more than 100 mobile phones worldwide use the Milbeaut Mobile ISP."
Milbeaut ISP embeds a variety of hardware algorithms with professional image processors to enrich the scene. Among them, the Milbeaut Mobile image signal processor (mobile terminal dedicated ISP) for mobile phone applications has lower power consumption and faster static imaging (the phase detection focus method is 10 times faster than the traditional contrast focus method), and the camera module size is smaller. , as well as higher capacity and higher video data frame rate, can combine high-end image quality and rich camera applications, making the mobile phone camera experience instantly comparable to SLR.
Figure 5. The latest Milbeaut mobile terminal image processing engine (adapted to phase detection autofocus) - 10 times faster focusing speed
“The latest Milbeaut mobile terminal image processing engine was unveiled at this exhibition. The latest generation MH-1 and M-12M0 chips are equipped with a phase detection focusing algorithm that is used by top-level SLR cameras, which simultaneously supports traditional contrast focus and phase. Detecting the focus of the hybrid focus mode, the focus speed is increased by 10 times. Accurate focus is achieved in a quick instant to ensure the clearest picture is taken." The road sign points out.
In addition to a large number of applications in the mobile phone field, in 2014, as the market demand for high-definition video surveillance soared, Milbeaut ISP also launched a dedicated chip product for security applications. "Milbeaut Security ISP is an image signal processor for high-end security surveillance applications. It provides a complete set of high-end network camera reference solutions for security surveillance vendors, including a series of optional intelligent video analysis algorithms to achieve true Ultra HD 4K 30fps. Full HD 1080P 60fps.†The sign indicates.
