SigmaTel STMP3700
The SigmaTel STMP3700 is a low power System on Chip (SoC) made for PMP's (Portable Media Players). The STMP3700 is using a single ARM processor core clocked up to a maximum of 300 MHz. It was developed in 2007 for use in portable media players. It supports playing video in QVGA and decoding of various media formats. It is used in the Creative ZEN as of 2007, and the Creative ZEN X-Fi as of 2008. The STMP378x supports VGA resolutions of 640×480, higher clock frequencies and video hardware assist. Sony Walkman models using this product line include Salsa, Newton, and Freed which appeared at CES 2009. SeFreescale's STMP3700 series sitefor more info.

System On Chip
A system on a chip (SoC) is an integrated circuit that combines most or all key components of a computer or electronic system onto a single microchip. Typically, an SoC includes a central processing unit (CPU) with memory, input/output, and data storage control functions, along with optional features like a graphics processing unit (GPU), Wi-Fi connectivity, and radio frequency processing. This high level of integration minimizes the need for separate, discrete components, thereby enhancing power efficiency and simplifying device design. High-performance SoCs are often paired with dedicated memory, such as LPDDR, and flash storage chips, such as eUFS or eMMC, which may be stacked directly on top of the SoC in a package-on-package (PoP) configuration or placed nearby on the motherboard. Some SoCs also operate alongside specialized chips, such as cellular modems. Fundamentally, SoCs integrate one or more processor cores with critical peripherals. This comprehensive integration ...

ARM Architecture
ARM (stylised in lowercase as arm, formerly an acronym for Advanced RISC Machines and originally Acorn RISC Machine) is a family of reduced instruction set computer, RISC instruction set architectures (ISAs) for central processing unit, computer processors. Arm Holdings develops the ISAs and licenses them to other companies, who build the physical devices that use the instruction set. It also designs and licenses semiconductor intellectual property core, cores that implement these ISAs. Due to their low costs, low power consumption, and low heat generation, ARM processors are useful for light, portable, battery-powered devices, including smartphones, laptops, and tablet computers, as well as embedded systems. However, ARM processors are also used for desktop computer, desktops and server (computing), servers, including Fugaku (supercomputer), Fugaku, the world's fastest supercomputer from 2020 to 2022. With over 230 billion ARM chips produced, , ARM is the most widely used ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Creative ZEN
ZEN is a series of portable media players designed and manufactured by Creative Technology Limited from 2004 to 2011. The players evolved from the Creative NOMAD, NOMAD brand through the NOMAD Jukebox series of MP3 player, music players, with the first separate "ZEN" branded models released in 2004. The last Creative Zen player, X-Fi3, was released at the end of 2011. Three Creative Zens (the Portable Media Center, Micro Photo, and Vision:M) won the Best of Consumer Electronics Show, CES award from 2004 to 2006 in their respective categories, with the latter winning the overall award. The ZEN series had a strong foothold in Asian Pacific markets, especially in Singapore, the location of the company's headquarters. All players support MP3 and Windows Media Audio, WMA formats, while some models support also WAV and Audible.com, Audible formats. They are bundled with device drivers and Creative MediaSource, a Media player (application software), media player that includes transferri ...

SigmaTel
SigmaTel, Inc., was an American system-on-a-chip (SoC), electronics and software company headquartered in Austin, Texas, that designed AV media player/recorder SoCs, reference circuit boards, SoC software development kit reference designs used to make media players for Apple iPod Shuffle, Samsung, Sony Walkman and 150 others built around a custom cooperative kernel and all SoC device drivers including USB mass storage and AV decoder DSP, media player/recorder apps, and controller chips for multifunction peripherals. SigmaTel became Austin's largest IPO as of 2003 when it became publicly traded on NASDAQ. The company was driven by a talented mix of electrical and computer engineers plus other professionals with semiconductor industry experience in Silicon Hills, the number two IC design region in the United States, after Silicon Valley. SigmaTel (trading symbol SGTL) was acquired by Freescale Semiconductor in 2008 and delisted from NASDAQ. History In the 90's and early 2000's ...
