2D/3D Vector Graphics Accelerator / GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)

Overview

D/AVE HD is a cost-efficient, highly configurable IP core for 2D and 3D graphics applications. The variants of the core are available for FPGAs, ASICs and SOCs. The high customizability allows footprint and power optimized variants, e.g. for wearable applications or high-volume MCUs, up to feature-rich and powerful variants for automotive infotainment and professional solutions.

Key Features

D/AVE HD is an evolution in the D/AVE family supporting high quality 2D rendering and basic 3D rendering for displays up to 4K x 4K. With its high customizability D/AVE HD targets modern graphics applications in the Industrial, Medical, Military, Avionics, Automotive and Consumer markets. D/AVE HD is designed to be fast with powerful functionality and at the same time optimized regarding size and footprint. Its footprint optimized variants are especially suitable for low-power wearable products.
