Providing high-performance, high-quality vector
graphics processing capabilities for smart wrist-worn devices
VeriSilicon (688521.SH) today announced that Actions Technology
(688049.SH), a low-power AIoT fabless semiconductor company, has
adopted VeriSilicon’s power-efficient and feature-rich 2.5D
Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) IP in its highly integrated dual-mode
Bluetooth smart watch SoC series, ATS3085S and ATS3089.
Featuring low power consumption and high frame rate, Actions
Technology’s smart watch SoCs, ATS3085S and ATS3089 series, offer
excellent graphics display performance with 2D+2.5D dual GPU
hardware acceleration and support for JPEG hardware decoding. These
SoCs, with their high level of integration, enable a single chip to
drive display screens, run sports and health algorithms, perform
Bluetooth calls, offer local audio decoding, and deliver Bluetooth
audio transmission for True Wireless Stereo (TWS) headsets,
providing mature dual-mode Bluetooth single-chip solutions
supporting low-power Bluetooth 5.3 for end products such as smart
bracelets and smart watches. Currently, smart watch products
powered by ATS3085S and ATS3089 series SoCs have been mass-produced
and launched in the market.
VeriSilicon’s 2.5D GPU IP is designed specifically for MCU and
MPU applications that require hardware-accelerated User Interface
(UI) display effects, and is capable of rendering vectors, scalars,
and images in low-power modes, delivering high-performance,
high-quality graphics processing capabilities and superior image
output. It incorporates the company’s self-developed low-level,
compact VGLite API driver to support the popular Light and
Versatile Graphics Library (LVGL), enabling the creation of
visually appealing UI across a wide range of hardware platforms and
effectively reducing the size of their resources. The GCNanoUltraV
2.5D GPU also supports Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) with
VeriSilicon’s open-source tool SvgVGLiteRenderer, which parses SVG
files and renders SVG content through the VGLite API. VeriSilicon’s
2.5D GPU IP has extended support for Baidu Maps and a variety of
offline map formats, offering users a richer and more useful
interactive experience.
Zhenyu Zhou, Chairman and CEO of Actions Technology, said,
“VeriSilicon’s 2.5D GPU IP provides our smart watch SoCs with
leading graphic rendering functions, enabling smoother UI
interactions and appealing visual effects. The adoption of this
technology significantly enhances the user experience of smart
watches, meeting diverse needs of the global market, and thereby
increasing our competitive advantages in the global wearable
market.”
“As the resolutions and refresh rates of smart watch screens
continue to improve, customers’ requirements for GPU performance
are also increasing. VeriSilicon has effectively met the diverse
needs of customers and drives the development of wearable
applications through continuous technology innovation and actively
building an ecosystem for key GPU applications,” said Wei-Jin Dai,
Executive VP and GM of IP Division at VeriSilicon. “Our 2.5D GPU IP
not only provides powerful graphics processing capabilities, but
also enhances the performance-to-power ratio of Actions
Technology’s smart watch SoCs to meet the needs of users who wear
them for extended periods of time.”
