eInfochips Introduces Industry's Lowest Cost Development Platform for TI's DM64x based Multimedia Applications

Santa Clara, CA - January 10, 2005 - eInfochips, Inc., a leading provider of ASIC design and verification services, IP cores and embedded systems solutions, today introduced DM64xMM, the industry's lowest cost high-performance video and imaging development platform for digital multimedia applications. The DM64xMM supports TI's TMS320DM64xTM series digital media processors and provides a platform for pre-production design and rapid prototyping of applications like Surveillance Systems, Video Conference Systems, and IP Set-top Boxes.

"Development efforts used to center on the tool chain, but since there is so little time for design, most projects start with a reference design which is then modified to meet new requirements" said Tapan Joshi, vice-president marketing, eInfochips "This is making reference designs like the DM64xMM critical part of the development cycle"

The DM64xMM Development Platform is offered in three options. Option one is DM64xMM System Board, which features: DM64x Series Processor, 32MB SDRAM, 4MB Flash for boot and/or data storage, JTAG emulation support, and high-density expansion connectors providing video, EMIF & PCI/HPI/EMAC interfaces and on-board power supply. It is 2.5"x3.5" compact board and is an ideal solution for OEM requirements for rapid prototyping. It is available now and is offered for $895.00 for low quantity orders.

Option two offers the DM64xMM with a System Board and a Multi-Peripheral Interface Board bundled together. This adds more features to the development platform like Video, Audio, Ethernet, USB, PCI, RTC and IrDA interfaces. This option is available now for $1495.00
