MoSys Demonstrates All Format Front End Blu-Ray SoC IP in Silicon
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on Fri, July 4th, 2008
Manufactured in a 130nm process technology
The MoSys design, manufactured in a 130nm process technology, was recently demonstrated on a reference platform to playback BD-ROM Title with AACS Content Protection. It is now available as a single chip IP for integration into a Back End Video and Display Processor, and can directly interface with a laser Power Driver IC, thus lowering the electrical bill of materials for next generation DVD platforms. The MoSys solution is the first in the industry to support all next-generation Blue-Laser and current Red-Laser DVD formats in a single, integrated design for multi-format DVD players and recorders, game consoles, PCs, advanced Set-Top boxes, and digital video recorders. Support for Blu-Laser formats at 8x read speed and 5x write speed include BD and CHDVD, while Red Laser formats include DVD-ROM, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, all with both single layer and dual layer media. Also included is support for Infrared Laser formats such as CD-ROM, and CD-R/RW. By providing comprehensive mixed-signal functionality and all-format support in a single IP, system designers can minimize cost, improve integration, and optimize performance. Customers can further improve upon such benefits with MoSys Roadmap products for Blu-Ray players, and recorders, on 55nm and 40nm process nodes, with factory tuned firmware support for different Optical Pickup Units (OPU).
Len Perham, MoSys' President, Chief Executive Officer said: "Our customers are starting to innovate using MoSys analog and mixed-signal capability, which enables new and exciting consumer applications. We are pleased to announce that our complex Blu-Ray IP worked the first time in silicon, and we are currently showcasing our technology to key customers."
