CSR


CSR's Bluetooth, GPS, FM, Wi-Fi and audio devices are at the heart of many of the world's most recognised electronics brands. At home, at work, or out and about, CSR's technology is integral to the user experience behind thousands of applications in mobile phones, cars, headsets, laptops, games consoles, portable navigation devices and a multitude of other consumer electronics products.

CSR uses POWERVR 3D graphics and video cores from Imagination in its SiRF SoC product line.

SiRF has also licenced a number of Imagination’s latest generation graphics, video and display technologies for use in its multifunction system-on-chip location platforms targeting consumer navigation products.

SiRF Prima

The SiRFprima multifunction processor delivers SiRF's renowned, industry leading, GPS-enabled location performance, featuring 64 channels with -161 dBm sensitivity. The hardware scalable location engine, with more than 1,000,000 correlators, is among the first capable of working with both GPS and Galileo signals simultaneously. Additionally, the SiRFprima processor has been specifically designed to support SiRF's proprietary GPS technologies, providing, for example, a dedicated accelerator for the SiRFInstantFixIIT technology.

The SiRFprima platform supports OpenGL ES, Direct3DM and OpenVG, and can drive
full-color, high-resolution displays with multiple hardware overlay layers. The hardware media
acceleration has enough processing muscle to encode and decode mainstream and high resolution
video standards concurrently with navigation and other operations.
