Think Silicon Launches NEMA|PICO The World Smallest, Most Ultra-Low Power and Cost Efficient 2D GPU at CES 2016 in Las Vegas

TORONTO and LAS VEGAS, December 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Innovative power saving methods extend battery life of wearable devices from three to
six days  

    CES 2016 (#CES2016)

    Think Silicon announced today the release and immediate availability of NEMA|p(PICO)
the world smallest (0.07mm2 die-area, two times smaller than the competition) and most
power efficient (0.05 mW leakage) 2D Graphics Processor Unit (GPU).  NEMA|p has a new
bottom up architecture, featuring a number of ultra low-power saving methods such as a
fixed rate, real time 4bpp/6bpp frame buffer compression/decompression (TSFBc), DAT
(Display Aware Technology), CAT (Context Aware Technology) and 25 MHz low frequency SoC
support helping to significantly lower power consumption. NEMA|p has been specifically
designed for area constrained wearable devices, embedded systems and IoT platforms where
power consumption and battery life is crucial and cost efficiency are critical factors
while still maintaining vibrant graphics and fluid 2D User Interface (UI) performance.

    The Think Silicon exhibit, hosted at the CES Sands Expo Level 1 Hall Booth# 81349,
will showcase the NEMA|PICO and NEMA|TINY, the world smallest multi-core 3D GPU, amongst
an array of innovations powered by the latest Think Silicon GPU technologies such as
"RAPID", an IoT GUI building tool, as well as a demonstration of the upcoming Vulkan(TM)
API.

    "Our customers asked for a very small, ultra-low power but still robust GPU,
supporting small and smart display applications," said Ulli Mueller, Vice President
Marketing of Think Silicon. "They told us their goal is to create compelling GUIs, without
breaking the bank. We listened and the result we designed is a sleek piece of technology
tailored for cost sensitive applications and markets." 

    The one-core GPU can be customized for small footprint devices and configured for
small displays up from 1.5" to 6.0" and XGA (1024x768) resolutions. NEMA|p supports SoCs
with a 32-bit MCU (e.g. ARM(R) Cortex(R)-M processors) and core frequencies that reach as
low as 25MHz (not limited).

    The very small silicon footprint of just 0.07mm2 (150 MHz in 28nm) with ultra-low
leakage power of just 0.05mW and memory power consumption of just 0.03mW (in DDR-less
systems) features a fully configurable and programmable 2D graphics rendering engine and
has innovative composition functionalities.

    The NEMA|p is available in Verilog HDL code, supports AMBA interfaces (AHB, AXI), and
embeds DMA controllers with command list for minimal CPU overhead. NEMA|p comes with
drivers for FreeRTOS, Linux OS, software libraries for graphics APIs such as DirectFB,
muGFX, QT, GTK+ and a bare metal C library for OS-less systems.

    Availability:

    The NEMA|p is available for licensing now. Contact sales@think-silicon.com for more
information.
