Capricorn-F is the latest device in the company’s Capricorn family of highly integrated, scalable system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for driving and managing high-quality automotive displays. Targeted at digital instrument clusters and head up display (HUD) applications, Capricorn-F is the first Capricorn device to provide support for 3D graphics and to incorporate APIX® Gigabit digital serial data link transmission. Capricorn-F, which is suitable for (typically) WVGA and DVGA TFT displays, will significantly reduce the complexity and component count of a variety of instrument cluster applications. Full compatibility with the CPU core architecture of other members of the Toshiba Capricorn family allows for software re-use and supports scalability across different display applications, display sizes and resolutions. Toshiba’s new SoC combines a powerful 64-bit RISC processor, embedded display memory, dedicated 2D and 3D graphics capabilities and a variety of application-specific peripherals and interfaces supporting direct TFT panel control
