Imagination Technologies' PowerVR MBX To Ship In New NTT Docomo Mobile Phones

Imagination Technologies reported that Texas Instruments' OMAP2420 application processor has been selected to power NTT DoCoMo's new 3G FOMA 902i series handsets. TI's OMAP2420 incorporates the PowerVR MBX 2D/3D graphics core and fully programmable VGP vertex processor core licensed by TI from Imagination Technologies.

TI's OMAP2420 stand-alone application processor is the first device in the marketplace to leverage the ARM11 micro-architecture and is TI's second-generation of OMAP processors to use 90 nm technology. The OMAP2420 chip includes an ARM1136JS-F core, a TI programmable audio DSP, a TI imaging and video accelerator (IVA), an Imagination Technologies PowerVR MBX 2D/3D graphics accelerator offering up to 2 million polygons per second, integrated camera interface, M-Shield hardware-based security solution and more.

TI's OMAP2420 has been selected for the new NTT DoCoMo FOMA 902i series 3G handsets to provide advanced multimedia capabilities. Expected to launch later this year, these handsets will represent the first OMAP 2-based mobile devices on the market. Additional OMAP 2-based FOMA phones are expected to follow.
