The highly integrated OMAP-DM500 and OMAP-DM299 multimedia coprocessors combine low-power hardware and programmable image processing capability to provide high still image and video quality for low-cost camera phones. Using the coprocessor, manufacturers can gain increased performance with little redesign in systems based on existing platforms in order to improve camera and video quality. The OMAP-DM500 coprocessor has the added advantage of stacked memory, resulting in reduced board space. The OMAP-DM500 and OMAP-DM299 multimedia coprocessors feature an ARM 7 processor and TI's most advanced Image Signal Processor (ISP) technology, including a dedicated imaging/video accelerator. Flexible interfaces support various types of CMOS sensor interfaces, signal conditioning circuits, power management, mobile DDR-SDRAM, shutter, iris and auto-focus motor controls. The devices also offer a seamless interface via SPI, I2C and parallel interfaces to application and baseband processors.
