Multimedia Powerhouse

The multimedia performance of the i.MX53

processor is boosted by a multi-standard

hardware video codec, autonomous

imageprocessingHDunit,NEONSIMD,

accelerometer,VectorFloatingPoint

coprocessor and a programmable Smart DMA

(SDMA) controller. Powerful 3-D graphics

acceleration is the key to mobile game designs.

The i.MX537 processor provides an integrated

3-D graphics processing unit that provides an

incredible 33 Mtri/sec and effective 800 Mpix/

sec (with overdraw). The 3-D unit is provides

an exceptional user experience with hardware-

accelerated Flash Player 10.x, gaming and

advanced user interfaces. In addition, i.MX537

incorporates a 2-D graphics processing unit to

accelerate the windowing system and fonts.

Advanced power management features

throughout the i.MX53 processor enable a rich

suite of multimedia features and peripherals

while maintaining minimum system power

consumption in active and low-power modes.
