OMAP Platform

For designers looking to deliver the most differeniated, multimedia-rich applications that will attract users to next-generation devices and services, TI’s OMAP platform is the answer. Its comprehensive mix of processors, software and support deliver the real-time processing and low power consumption necessary for advanced applications, including streaming media, security, interactive gaming, multi-megapixel imaging, location-based services and more.

TI’s OMAP™ 3 platform builds on the robust multimedia performance of TI’s OMAP 2 processors and adds a new realm of support for even higher-performance entertainment and productivity applications. As the industry’s first architecture to be based on the ARM® Cortex™-A8 processor, the OMAP 3 platform can triple the ARM performance of ARM11™-based processors. In addition, the DSP-based IVA™ 2+ accelerator provides up to 4X the performance of previous OMAP multimedia processing. Software-compatible with previous generations of OMAP technology, the OMAP 3 platform introduces a new level of performance that enables laptop-like productivity and advanced entertainment in 3G and beyond handsets. The OMAP 3 platform is a complete system solution for advanced graphics standards including OpenGL® ES 2.0 and OpenVG™. Support for these open graphic standards gives developers the tools to create effects that deliver a level of cinematic realism rivaling that of Hollywood movies. Rich effects such as facial features and textured backgrounds that previously were only possible with PCs and gaming consoles will be brought to the mobile environment.
