Improving vehicle safety and comfort with visual technology

GerdaTM  HMI Solution for Automotive applications

• Overview
  CASE technology progresses are spreading to affordable vehicles, motorcycles, and new mobility, and there is a demand for Application MCUs supporting multiple functions of high performance, and furthermore cost-balanced. HMI MCU "Gerda" is equipped with a variety of image processing and security functions, providing safe and comfortable HMI solutions. Gerda's high-speed, large-size embedded RAM enables the highly functional systems with no external memory, which are consisted of fewer components at smaller system cost. With a wide range of video input IFs, image quality adjustment, and advanced 2.5D graphics, "Gerda" supports displaying a variety of high-quality images.
