Panasonic MN2CS0038 (nicknamed the UniPhier 4MBB+) is a mobile phone LSI based on its UniPhier digital audio/visual equipment platform. In addition to the communication function, the new Panasonic LSI integrates application functions such as graphics rendering, 1seg reception and audio/visual content playback into a single chip. The LSI was manufactured by using the 45nm process and is composed of 280 million transistors. Panasonic MN2CS0038 reduces the power consumption of a mobile phone by approximately 25% and the footprint by about 40%. The communication function supports 7.2Mbps W-CDMA/HSDPA and GSM/GPRS standards.

Panasonic MN2CS0038 is provided in a 563-pin plastic chip size package (PCSP) with the PoP structure. Panasonic would start shipping samples in late July 2008.

Toshiba announced the latest additions of 2.5-inch hard disk drives for automotive applications: an 80GB drive offering the industry’s largest capacity, and a 40GB drive. The drives will be used in such applications as car navigation systems, and will be released in industrial and retail versions. Toshiba’s automotive HDD have earned an unrivaled reputation for environmental toughness and performance, and made the company the leader in the world automotive HDD market. With its latest drives, the company has further enhanced durability and increased data capacity, using perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) to boost areal recording density and to raise storage capacity to 80GB (MK8050GAC and MK8050GACE), double that of Toshiba’s current automotive drives.

The new Toshiba drives can operate at up to 5,500m above sea level, 1,200m higher than current automotive models. In addition to map data information for car navigation, the new Toshiba automotive HDD can be used in on-board entertainment systems, to store high capacity movie, digital image and music files. Sample shipping of the drives has started and mass production will start in March 2008.
