Mobile Phone Application Processor IC (Multimedia IC) Industry Report, 2007-2008 published by ResearchInChina in June, 2008. This report consists of Pages: 160 and the price starts from US $ 1400.
Abstract
Application processor of a handset is developed for certain specific type of
applications of a handset, which can be classified into three types, including
an all-round type, a multimedia type and a single-media type. The all-round
type has not only the function of a multimedia application processor, but also
the ability to run complicated operating system similar to Linux. Vendors of
this type include Samsung, ST, TI, Renesas and Marvell. The multimedia type
refers to the processors that are capable of processing over two media as
usual like image, audio, video and 3D graphics, and most of application
processors belong to this type. The single-media type only handles static
image or audio, which is not studied in this report.
Emergence of application processor is the outcome of ceaseless innovation and
development of mobile phone applications. For the majority of handset
manufacturers, they all have rich experience in the design of mobile phone
platforms and own intellectual property rights. In early years, those
platforms merely served for communication but could do nothing beyond
communication. Therefore, application processor came into being. The biggest
advantage of application processor lies in its independence from mobile phone
communication platform, thus making it flexible and convenient. Also, the
design flow is shortened and the existing experiences and IP are brought into
full play. Emergence of camera handset has created a great number of
application processor producers, specialized in the processing of camera
back-end. Baseband vendors as SoC specialists integrated JPEG decoding
function of camera back-end into baseband in 1-2 years, resulting in a market
downturn for numerous vendors of application processor with JPEG decoding
function. However, new application of mobile phone has conduced to another
round of usage peak of application processor, and those applications comprise
complex operating system, mobile TV, high-quality 3D graphic,
3-megapixel-and-above camera, intelligentization, GPS, high-definition
photographing of video flow, etc. Yet, application processor vendors should
attend to it that some baseband vendors have integrated the functions
supporting 5-mega pixels, 30fps, H.264, MPEG4, H.263 and WMV9 video playing,
VGA resolution output and 16-bit color depth into baseband. Those
high-performance basebands are expected to be massively applied in mobile
phone in 2011, when application processor vendors will face another market
downturn.
Presently, there is a design idea, which combines ULC handset design with
application processor, in particular the Infineon' s ULC handset solutions,
indicating an additional huge room for the market of application processor.
