1 Overview
JZ4775 is a mobile application processor targeting for multimedia rich and mobile devices like tablet
computer, EBook, mobile digital TV. This SOC introduces a kind of innovative architecture to fulfill
both high performance mobile computing and high quality video decoding requirements addressed
by mobile multimedia devices. JZ4775 provides high-speed CPU computing power and fluent 720p
video replay.
The CPU (Central Processing Unit) core, equipped with 16kB instruction and 16kB data level 1
cache, and 256kB level 2 cache, operating at 1GHz, and full feature MMU function performs OS
related tasks.
At the heart of the CPU core is XBurst® processor engine. XBurst® is an industry leading
microprocessor core which delivers superior high performance and best-in-class low power
consumption. A hardware floating-point unit which compatible with IEEE754 is also included.
The VPU (Video Processing Unit) core is powered with another XBurst® processor engine. The
SIMD instruction set implemented by XBurst® engine, in together with the on chip video
accelerating engine and post processing unit, delivers high video performance. The maximum
resolution of 720p in the formats of H.264, VC-1, MPEG-1/2, MPEG-4, RealVideo and VP8 are
supported in decoding.
The memory interface supports a variety of memory types that allow flexible design requirements,
including glueless connection to SLC NAND flash memory or up to 64-bit ECC MLC/TLC NAND
flash memory and toggle NAND flash for cost sensitive applications. It provides the interface to
DDR2, DDR3 and LPDDR memory chips with lower power consumption.
On-chip modules such as audio CODEC, multi-channel SAR-ADC, AC97/I2S controller and camera
interface offer designers a rich suite of peripherals for multimedia application. The LCD controller
support regular RGB, 1024x768 output, WLAN, Bluetooth and expansion options are supported
through high-speed SPI and MMC/SD/SDIO host controllers. Other peripherals such as USB OTG
and USB 1.1 host, UART and SPI as well as general system resources provide enough computing
and connectivity capability for many applications.
1.1 Introduction
This design guide provides recommendations for system designs based on the JZ4775 processor.
Design issues (e.g., thermal considerations) should be addressed using specific design guides or
application notes for the processor.
The design guidelines in this document are used to ensure maximum flexibility for board designers
while reducing the risk of board related issues. The design information provided in this document
falls into two categories:
• Design Recommendations: It is based on INGENIC‟s simulations and lab experience to date
are strongly recommended, if not necessary, to meet the timing and signal quality
specifications.
• Design Considerations: Suggestions for platform design provide one way to meet the design
recommendations. Design considerations are based on the reference platforms designed by
