Freescale introduces MPC5125 processor for high-resolution display and human-machine interface applications

Freescale MPC5125

Expanding its 32-bit portfolio based on Power Architecture technology, Freescale Semiconductor has introduced the MPC5125 processor, a highly integrated system-on-chip (SoC) device. The MPC5125 processor features dual Ethernet, dual universal serial bus (USB), four CAN interfaces and a graphical display controller capable of supporting display resolutions up to 720p/WXGA.

The MPC5125 offers 800 MIPS of performance at less than 1 watt, giving designers the flexibility to optimize designs while meeting energy budgets. The processor is ideal for industrial networking, automotive and human-machine interface applications, such as automotive telematics, digital signage, medical monitors, industrial control/ robotics and high-end lighting control.
