12 Understanding the real challenges of the Tablet design 12

13 Tablet :: The Design Challenges Mechanical H/W Features Software Operating Hours 13

14 Processor : Must be highly integrated SoC System Memory : At least 512MB of DDR Design Challenges :: H/W Features Storage Memories : 4GBto 64GB (Internal) and option to accept removable memories Display : 1024X768 or 1024X600; color-lcd internal and option to connect external HD Display Wireless Connectivity : WiFi, 3G, BlueTooth, RF4CE Navigation : GPS, ecompass Ports : USB 2.0 host and USB-micro Audio : HiFi Stereo with microphone support Camera : 3M-pixel Sensors : Accelerometer, Ambient Light Battery : 26 to 30 W-Hr Docking : Support for peripheral (keyboard) docking 14

15 Design Challenges :: Mechanical Size : 200*128*14.9mm (7.87 x 5.04 x 0.59 inches) Power(ON/OFF) LEDs MicroSD Material: plastic Colors: Black, White, Blue, Pink, Red, Bronze Finish: high gloss Volume up/down Audio jack USB Speaker USB 15

16 Design Challenges :: Operating Hours The Tablet System must be able to operate for All-day for the most desired use case scenario. The biggest challenge comes in terms of the power demanded by different peripherals and the processor of the system. It is absolutely a key to choose a processor which has been designed for low power operations. Freescale s i.mx product family is BEST SUITED for tablet applications. Going beyond the traditional backlight display dimming is crucial in meeting the long operating hours. 16

17 Design Challenges :: Software Must be supported with most popular BSPs. (Linux, Android ) Must be supported with essential Multimedia CODECs, 3D-Graphics and application softwares. A great eco-system support is needed to enable the software. Excellent software power management is a MUST to meet long battery operating hours. 17
