Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas, Camas, WA, is the U.S.-based microelectronics sales and marketing unit of Japan’s Sharp Corporation and the global development center for Sharp’s BlueStreak™ line of Microcontroller and System-on-Chip products based on the popular ARM7 and ARM9 cores. Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas offers breakthrough memory, LCD, optoelectronics, CCD, RF/IR, microcontroller and System-on-Chip components, along with packaging and integration skills that help design engineers throughout North and South America bring their ambitious ideas to market. Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas and Actimagine have collaborated to increase video performance for their ARM7- and ARM9- based portfolio of BlueStreak microcontrollers. Incorporating Actimagine’s innovative codec in Sharp’s SoC generates a fourfold increase in video compression rates with no increase in power consumption. The synergy between Actimagine’s software and Sharp’s SoC line allows the delivery of a complete system-level solution, while also reducing the total bill of materials.
