Freescale Semiconductor i.MX508 Block Diagram

The i.MX508 processor is a SoC (System-on-Chip) targeting eReaders that incorporates a high performance 800MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor and an integrated E Ink display controller, certified by E Ink to drive Vizplex panels. The processor supports panel resolutions up to 2048 x1536 pixels at 106 hertz. By integrating the E Ink display controller, the i.MX508 reduces part counts and lowers costs associated with electronic paper display control functionality by as much as 50 percent. Freescale's i.MX508 processor also integrates dual USB/PHY and raw NAND memory.
