STMP3600 System-on-Chip

Multimedia On Chip
Coupled with a full-featured Software Development Kit, the STMP3600 SoC enables a broad array of features, including:

• Audio decoding/encoding with post-processing effects
• Video decoding
• Image decoding
• Wireless networking (WiFi®) and Bluetooth® connectivity
• STFM1000 FM tuner with Radio Data Service (RDS) support
• PlaysForSure™ 2.2x with Windows Vista™ and Windows Media Player
• NAND Flash and removable media support (SD/MMC)

Complete System Solution
Together with the SDK, the STMP3600 SoC enables these advanced features without sacrificing performance by excelling in battery life, package size, processing power, level of integration and flexibility.

Low Power
The STMP3600 SoC is designed to provide low power consumption and extended battery life in portable applications. The integrated power management unit includes a high efficiency, on-chip DC-DC converter that supports various battery configurations including 1xAA, 1xAAA, and Li-Ion cells including battery charging for Li-Ion.

Small Form Factor at a Lower System Cost
With a high level of on-chip integration, the STMP3600 SoC needs very few external components to complete the system. This feature allows manufacturers to meet the consumer market demand for smaller devices featuring more functionality at a lower system cost. The STMP3600 SoC integrates all of the major analog components needed for a portable media player which can result in significantly smaller Print Circuit Board (PCB) area.

Application Flexibility
At the heart of the solution is an ARM926EJ-S™ CPU with dual caches, embedded SRAM, and an integrated memory management unit (MMU) that serves as the central processor of the STMP3600 SoC and delivers the processing power needed to support advanced features beyond just basic audio decoding. To provide the maximum application flexibility, the STMP3600 SoC integrates a wide range of I/O peripherals. It can efficiently interface to nearly any type of flash memory, ATA drive, serial bus, or smart LCD. Moreover, it is ready for advanced connectivity applications such as Bluetooth® and WiFi® via its integrated high speed application UART and SDIO controller. The STMP3600 SoC includes a high-resolution audio codec with headphone and speaker amplifiers, 8-channel low resolution ADC, high-current battery charger, linear regulators for 5-volt operation, high-speed USB 2.0 Host and Device with embedded PHY, and various system monitoring and infrastructure systems.
