In July 1999, National achieved an industry first by successfully integrating PC functionality plus video decompression into a single chip about the size of a postage stamp. This enabled National to drive a common development environment whereby simplifying the way different pieces of intellectual property from across the company could be easily integrated depending on the actual application and the customer's needs. These include the Geode SC3200 processor for PAD applications, the Geode SC1200 processor for STBs and the Geode 2200 processor for thin client designs. Manufacturers can specify the configurations they require, drawing on National's library of reusable intellectual-property building blocks. A reference platform is a proven system solution with the necessary hardware and software development completed.
Customers can use the reference design as a starting point to develop their own system.
