Description

MB86290A 'Cremson' is a 2D/3D graphics controller optimized for applications in car navigation systems and mobile information processing terminals. Offering various sophisticated functions, such as flat or Gouraud shading, bilinear texture mapping and Z-buffering, Cremson delivers high-speed and superior-performance 3D graphics functionality.

Moreover, anti-aliasing, concaved polygon rendering and fast line draw features are also included, allowing smooth and sophisticated quality rendering. As a result, Cremson performs high-quality rendering operations, with quality similar to leading-edge PC graphics, but with lower power dissipation. Cremson incorporates a 64-bit wide external memory interface which is driven at the same operating frequency (100MHz) as its internal units to support the large-memory bus bandwidth that is needed to perform the high-performance graphics operations described above. Also, in order to support various kinds of system configurations, Cremson offers a configurable host interface for four types of CPU’s (Fujitsu FR30, Hitachi SH3/4 and NEC V832) without the need for external glue logic.

To address the especially complex window configurations of car navigation systems, Cremson offers 4 overlay plane layers. These layers are (from top to bottom): C (console) layer, W (window) layer, M (middle) layer and B (base) layer. Each layer can be rendered in 16-bit/pixel color (65,536 simultaneous display colors) or rendered in 8-bit indirect color mode (256 selected out of 262,144 colors). The color palette can be defined separately for the C layer and B and M layers. A transparent color option is used to blend the layers directly.
