2D (vector graphics) & 3D GPU IP A GPU IP combining 3D and 2D rendering features with high performance, low power consumption, and minimum CPU load

Overview

GV580 is a Gen 4 2D (vector graphics) GPU IP with 3D drawing functions. With further advanced architecture for minimized CPU load in 2D graphics processing and increased pixel performance in vector processing, GV580 comes with a significant enhancement of effective rendering performance.

Sharing the pipeline for 3D and 2D graphics rendering, this IP core is a size-efficient 3D & 2D GPU IP.

The OpenVG conformant 2D GPUs from TAKUMI that make possible 2D graphics displays such as GUI for better user experience, with high-quality rendering, faster acceleration, and much less power consumption, are best fits for a variety of embedded systems, including digital camera and in-car products.
