Media Player IC extends battery life in portable devices.
In addition to system-level power management, audio codec, and battery charging, AS3536 features core based on audio and video engines with post-processors acting as co-processors to ARM central programmable unit capable of 400 MHz. System level battery consumption is 120 mW for DVD-resolution movies and sub 15 mW for compressed audio. Fully static design and low leakage technology allow for 1.4 mW preserving context or 4 mW while refreshing display from on-chip 512 KB buffer.
