Open platform strategy

The STn8810 is based around the MIPI™ software and hardware interface standard. This open platform

strategy provides manufacturers with roadmap flexibility, allowing them to avoid becoming locked into a

proprietary CPU architecture or vendor technology. This approach is facilitated by the following design

points.

devices, with industry-wide application support.

abstracted from the physical hardware. This allows the development of multimedia plug-ins that are

portable between products and which can be reused on future products without modification.

when required.

Stacked memory options

The STn8811 and STn8812 build on the STn8810 by stacking their respective amounts of both SDRAM and

Flash memories in pin-compatible packages, a technology that STMicroelectronics has mastered for

commercial use. In addition to saving space - the footprint of the stacked chips is the same as that for the

STn8810, a critical factor for today’s compact clamshell designs - these stacked versions give manufacturers

unprecedented flexibility on the production line.

The stacked versions promise lower product costs, added system security, faster data throughput, and future

performance enhancements.
