Introduction to Graphics Controllers

MB86298 'Ruby' SoC

Fujitsu’s family of graphics controllers provides optimised solutions for embedded graphic environments including car navigation, head-up displays, console displays, virtual dashboards and mobile information terminals. In addition to offering leading-edge embedded rendering capability, Fujitsu graphics controllers have a flexible layer concept, a wide range of 2D and 3D rendering functions and provide support for various screen resolutions as well as dual display outputs and video input.

The latest addition to this product portfolio is Fujitsu’s 3rd generation graphics controller, the MB86298 'Ruby'. On a single chip, this new MB86298 controller contains the necessary functions demanded for next-generation automotive infotainment systems, providing high-speed video and graphics processing to handle an industry first of 4 video inputs, and output to 4 displays. This controller can not only realize systems which show navigation images to the driver - while showing TV and videos to the passenger displays - as previously possible, but can also process and display the dashboard instrument cluster in 3-D graphics, including meter needles. In addition, the controller can handle the inputs from 4 cameras (front, back, left, right) mounted on the vehicle and process them and synthesize them together in real-time. Also, for car navigation 3D mapping, this controller can output to high-resolution 1,600 x 600 pixel displays to bring out rich image detail, not just of the roads, but of surrounding buildings and scenery.

Business Unit Graphics Solutions

The establishment of a new Business Unit allows Fujitsu to persue a highly focussed strategy, both on product development and support, enabling us to extend our lead in the graphics controller market. As the team develops new devices to supplement FME Graphics Solutions’ already-extensive roadmap, graphics controllers have emerged for almost every target application, helping customers to develop their products in the shortest time possible. The excellent scalability and binary compatibility means that many of our GDC products are interchangeable, allowing customers to move to higher- or lower-end devices without the hassle of major software changes.
