Silicon Motion Osprey Visual IoT Platform Announced

Complete platform solution with high-performance, low-power and quick time-to-market, powering IoT and other connected devices

Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NasdaqGS: SIMO) (“Silicon Motion”), a leading semiconductor company specializing in embedded storage and graphics products, today announced the availability of its Osprey Visual IoT Platform, a new platform solution targeting industrial and thin-client devices. Osprey’s all-in-one package design and low power capability make it ideally suited to power-connected devices and Internet of Things (IoT) components, including POS/kiosk, factory automation, digital signage and portable medical devices that require high reliability and power efficiency.

“The Osprey platform will enable our customers to bring a new generation of connected industrial and commercial products online quickly to enable greater functionality and performance,” said Arnold Estep, Graphics Marketing Director for Silicon Motion.

The Osprey Visual IoT Platform’s all-in-one-package design is based on the Intel Quark SoC X1000 and includes Silicon Motion’s SM750 embedded graphics controller and Ferri eMMC storage solution in a compact 107mm x 115mm package. The Intel® Quark X1000 SoC provides a robust set of standard I/O interfaces, such as Ethernet, USB Host, USB Client, UART, SPI, I2C and GPIOs. Silicon Motion’s SM750 embedded graphics enables multiple high-definition display outputs, and Ferri-eMMC provides best-in-class storage performance with industry compliance to the eMMC/JEDEC 4.5 standard.

The SM750 embedded graphics features include:

Dual analog CRT and dual 18-bit/single 24-bit digital outputs
Dual HD or single 1920×1200 max. resolution support
16MB integrated video memory
128-bit 2D ROP3 graphic engine
YUV-to-RGB color space conversion
Video overlay and video capture
Linux drivers and major OS support
Typical Power: <1W at Full HD 1920×1080 resolution

The Ferri-eMMC embedded memory solution features include:

Compliant with the eMMC/JEDEC 4.5
100-ball or 153-ball BGA package options
Data refresh and early retirement
Power cycle protection
Life Time Management
Advanced HW BCH ECC
2GB to 32GB capacities

Silicon Motion (SMI) will present its full product line of embedded storage and graphics products in Hall 2/2-268 at the 2015 Embedded World Exhibition and Conference held in Nuremburg, Germany from February 24-26, 2015.

Silicon Motion is offering the Osprey Visual IoT Platform reference design and evaluation kits.
