PortalPlayer's Personal Media Player: Photo Edition Platform Features USB 2.0 Transceiver Technology from Innovative Semiconductors
"In order for our customers to deliver compelling consumer electronics devices to market quickly, we employ leading-edge technologies," said Michael Maia, vice president of sales and marketing of PortalPlayer. "For the Personal Media Player: Photo Edition, our technology alliance with Innovative allows us to offer the first personal media player platform with both USB Host and On-The-Go (OTG) support."
Innovative's USB transceivers support Device, Host and OTG applications. The technology is proven in silicon, certified for USB 2.0 compliance, and included in the USB integrators list of USB building blocks. Innovative customers are currently in production with the USB transceiver and are manufacturing SoCs with several different process technologies.
"It is an honor to add PortalPlayer to our growing list of leading silicon providers who have chosen to use Innovative's mixed-signal technology," said Nabil Takla, president of Innovative. "PortalPlayer's decision to use Innovative technology in the PP5020 chip should further enhance our customer's confidence in the performance of our USB transceivers."
Demonstrations of the Personal Media Player: Photo Edition development platform were conducted last week during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The platform will make possible the next-generation of hard-drive-based personal media players that allow consumers to get, move and use their complete collections of personal digital content, including music, audiobooks, digital photos and video (MJPEG) anywhere, anytime.
