Road Map
DESCRIPTION

New enhanced graphics display controllers for various kinds of digital audio/video applications, in which MPEG decoder functions will be integrated together are planned as successive products.
In addition we plan to integrate the CPU core and various I/O functions and define a single-chip solution for car navigation applications.




Under Development

GDC Navigation and Mobile:
Rose
Rose was originally planned to be a 4MB/32MBit version of Scarlet (2MB/16MBit). However, this development was delayed to give other projects a higher priority.


Orchid
Orchid is a non-SDRAM version of Scarlet MB86291. This chip allows to expand the graphic memory up to 32MB using external SDRAM. Orchid is ideal for applications which require a powerful 2D/3D rendering plus video input, but on wide scale displays. This chip is currently under development and will become available in Q3 2001.

Coral
Coral will be a graphic display controller with more enhanced features like 6 programmable layers with alpha-channel, automatic line joinings, angled line patterns and many more. Coral will be available in different package versions (QFP, BGA) and with different co-processor features. The logic design will start in Q2 2001 and first samples are expected in early 2002.

GDC Multimedia and Digital AV:
Vermillion, Maroon and Burgundy
These new graphics display controllers will support digital audio/video applications, in which MPEG decoder functions are integrated together with graphic display functions. The target application range is "mobile multimedia" which means these devices will have a small footprint and very low power consumption. Fujitsu is currently defining the specification of this family, therefore schedule information can not be given at this moment.
