Socionext announces the launch of the MB8AJ2060, its 100G per wavelength, fully-integrated transceiver based on Discrete-Multitone (DMT) modulation. With a power dissipation of less than 5W, this system-on-chip sets a record for transmission of 100Gbps using a single wavelength.

Socionext Europe, the Fujitsu/Panasonic fabless semiconductor joint venture, will be exhibiting for the first time at Embedded World, Nuremberg in Hall 4A, Booth 250. On show will be its cutting edge semiconductor solutions for the most advanced video/image processing, networking, automotive and security applications.

Socionext has introduced its 'M-12MO' (MBG967) processor, the latest addition to its lineup of Milbeaut Image Processors. The MBG967, which will be available in volume shipments starting in January, is mainly targeted at smartphones and other mobile applications. It supports dual camera, the latest trend in mobile applications, along with functionalities such as low light shot and depth map generation.

At the MEDICA exhibition in Düsseldorf next week, Socionext will showcase its state-of-the-art viewphii solution for ultrasound imaging in Hall 10 booth H19. Socionext has miniaturised a conventional ultrasound imaging machine for medical use down to passport size and made it completely cableless. It has been designed with Socionext’s leading-edge System LSI technologies.

A camera front engine specialised for Bayer data processing that accommodates new functions of the industry’s latest image sensors has been released by Socionext. The MB86S29 is the newest Milbeaut Image Processor product from Socionext and is particularly targeted at smartphones. By accommodating new functionalities of the latest image sensors, the device allows module makers implement these functions without replacing their application pr...

Socionext Europe (SNEU) and Socionext Embedded Software Austria (SESA) will be showing their latest advanced automotive graphics solutions at The Congress Electronics in Vehicles (ELIV) in Baden-Baden on Booth 31. SNEU will be demonstrating what modern low cost system architecture will look like with their ‘All-in-One’ system concept, which includes a number of products from their graphics portfolio.

A single-chip IC for 4K/p60, HEVC and VP9 playback with built-in HDMI-Tx/Rx has been released by Socionext. The MN2WS03101A is compatible with HEVC Main 10 profile, and supports new copyright protection, HDR and wide colour gamut. 

Carmakers are increasingly turning their attention to powerful application processors made by major chip manufacturers from the consumer electronics sector. However, because these were not originally designed for automotive use, they are seldom equipped with the interfaces needed for this application. The Socionext MB86R91 APIX companion chip communication and video bridge offers vehicle manufacturers an automotive version to interconnect the gro...

Socionext Embedded Software Austria (SESA), a subsidiary of Socionext, has announced the start of operations. Following the consolidation of the system LSI businesses of Fujitsu and Panasonic, Fujitsu Embedded Solutions Austria was transferred with all its employees and assets, including its software platform CGI Studio, to Socionext. 

Socionext has started sampling the world’s first HEVC/H.265 - compatible encoder IC, the MB86M31, along with an evaluation board, the MB86M31-EVB, and SDK for drivers and applications. The device is capable of real-time encoding of 4K/p60 video with the latest video compression technology. HEVC achieves the transmission of realistic 4K video at half the cost of the preceding H.264 technology without a loss of quality.
