----Telematics Detroit
2005--Sophisticated in-vehicle infotainment features are proliferating
as consumers begin to demand the same information and entertainment in
their cars that they enjoy in their homes.
The MPC5200B, designed for next-generation telematics and
infotainment solutions , boasts 885 million instructions per second
(MIPS) of processing power.
Because all applications execute on a single core, features like
front-seat navigation can work in tandem with rear-seat entertainment . The suggested retail price of the Media5200 development
platform is $7,500 (USD).

Product features

MPC5200B processor features include:

885 MIPS of processing power

Double precision floating point unit (FPU )

Integrated automotive networking (CAN, J1850)

Memory management unit-based architecture with double data
rate (DDR) memory support

Integrated peripheral component interconnect (PCI), advanced
technology attachment (ATA), universal serial bus (USB),
multiple serial channels, up to three inter-IC sound (I2S)
interfaces, Ethernet

Media5200 development platform features include:

-- 128MB DDR synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM)

-- 64MB flash memory

-- Graphics display controller - 8.
The STV82x8 devices complement the field-proven STV82x7 family of
processors, for A2/NICAM markets, with the significant addition of up to 117ms
of embedded "lip-sync" delay to compensate for the video processing delay of
flat panel TVs, thereby eliminating the need for external memory.
