SigmaTel Launches Comprehensive Controller Solution [Copy link]

SigmaTel announced the launch of the STDC3000, a complete controller solution for color laser printers and multifunction printers (MFPs). This is a highly integrated and scalable system-on-chip (SoC) solution that helps design companies and manufacturers reduce material costs while improving the image quality of printing and copying. The STDC3000 SoC is composed of a high-performance image processing hardware accelerator and codec, high-bandwidth system I/O, and a 32-bit microprocessor.

The STDC3000 enables continuous color laser printing at speeds up to 40 pages per minute (4-bit continuous tone), and ADF multi-page color copying at speeds up to 20 pages per minute. To provide industry-leading color laser printing, copying and photo printing image quality, the STDC3000 supports high-performance interfaces and complies with the standards for 33/66MHz PCI bus and USB 2.0 high-speed device and host ports. In high-end MFP applications, the STDC3000 can connect two processors to increase system functionality and performance. The

new SigmaTel STDC3000 has the following features:

? Continuous color laser printer engine interface
? Powerful hardware image processor with automatic photo/text segmentation
? Simplified image quality adjustment using programmable image tables ?
High-bandwidth connectivity, including USB 2.0, 10/100 Ethernet and PCI 66
? Scalable support for GDI- and PDL-based printing
? 20 cpm ADF multi-page color copy

delivery at 600 dpi scan and print resolution

SigmaTel is now sampling the STDC3000 to customers.
