“We leveraged our advanced imaging and fax technology to deliver a cost-effective solution for value-priced printers and MFPs, without sacrificing the high-quality image processing capabilities that consumers expect,” said René Hartner, vice president of marketing for Conexant’s Imaging and PC Media business. “In addition, our new solution is built on a common product family platform which, combined with a complete software development kit, reduces engineering development costs and allows our customers to bring printing solutions to market more quickly.”
The CX92125 has several advanced features including support for three segmented contact image sensors, and an advanced image processor based on a dual-image-pipeline architecture that automatically segments text from photos, and optimally processes the images without degrading system performance. The SoC is based on a high-performance ARM core and includes additional imaging hardware blocks that enable fast raster image processing for page description languages (PDLs), which improves complex text and graphics laser-printing speeds.
Conexant’s comprehensive imaging product portfolio includes highly integrated MFP SoCs for inkjet, laser, and photo printers. The company also offers fax SoCs and datapump solutions, and high-performance system solutions for digital photo frames.
Packaging and Availability
The CX92125 is packaged in a 289-pin ball grid array (BGA). Samples of the SoC are available now, with volume production scheduled in the second calendar quarter of 2009. The company also offers a complete hardware and software development kit that allows manufacturers to reduce costs and speed time to market.
