AMD SC1200/1201
[Vendor: AMD]

The SC1200/1201 processor includes an AMD Geode GX1 32-bit x86 compatible processor module, a TV video processor (TV, TFT, and CRT outputs), video input port, video output port, core logic, and a Super I/O block. Additionally, the SC1201 processor has Macrovision copy protection.

The x86 architecture means Internet compatibility, according to AMD, because more than 300 web plug-ins are written to run exclusively on x86 processors.

Technical Specifications

Primary Components
  • The AMD Geode SC1200/1201 processor is based on the AMD Geode GX1 processor Rev. 8.1.1 integrated core which combines advanced CPU performance with MMX support, fully accelerated 2D graphics, a 64-bit synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) interface, and an internal PCI bus controller.
  • The low-power NTSC/PAL video processor has a hardware video accelerator for blending, scaling, filtering, and color space conversion. It also contains a NTSC/PAL TV encoder that has Vertical Blank Interval (VBI) data insertion capability.

  • The core logic component of the SC1200/1201 processor includes an IDE interface, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, ACPI 1.0 compliant power management, a video input port, and an audio codec interface.

  • The Super I/O block includes three serial ports, an infrared (IR) port, a parallel port, two ACCESS.bus interfaces, and a Real Time Clock (RTC).
