X-bit labs CeBIT 2005 Coverage: Day 7 (page 4)Category: Editorial by Anton Shilov [ 03/24/2005 | 04:56 PM ] ULi Shows Off USB 2.0 DTV ChipAn additional highlight in ULi’s booth was the world’s smallest DTV tuner for USB 2.0 and supporting logic from ULi.
M9206 is world’s first USB 2.0 Digital Video/Audio controller that supports both DVB and ATSC digital TV applications. Though the 48 LQFP (7mm x 7mm) packaged M9206 may be the tiniest chip amongst its league, it enables the “most energy-efficient and cost-effective solution that all TV-Box and notebook manufacturers will want to have,” claims ULi. ULi pins a lot of hopes on its controller business in general and multimedia solutions in particular, as they all can be used in rapidly growing market of consumer electronics. The World’s Smallest PC?One of the spectacular gadgets ULi demonstrated in its booth was a tiny personal computer from OQO with Transmeta’s TM8600 processor and ULi’s M1535+ I/O controller.
Despite of the sizes that resemble a PDA, the device is fully-fledged PC with Windows XP operating system and Microsoft Office applications running. While its performance is not really fast, such computer can definitely be useful for businessmen or journalists who need fast access to certain data in MS Office format or ability to quickly write short stories using nearly normal keyboard. <%BANNER[banner_468x30]%>
