Benefiting from the latest process technology, the SiS55x LV family features higher performance with lower power consumption for a powerful yet cost-effective solution for the emerging embedded information appliance (IA) market. The SiS550LV is suitable for a range of IA applications, including thin-client servers, set-top-boxes and kiosks.
The SiS552LV adds additional audio/video power, making it ideal for consumer products such as smart displays, PVRs (personal video recorders), DVRs (digital video recorders), home theatre systems and VOD (voice-on-demand) systems.
The SiS552LV integrates a smart card controller, Sony memory stick controller, slice layer DVD decoding accelerator, video input port and consumer digital audio interface.
Significantly, design of the SiS55X LV is pin-to-pin compatible with the current generation SiS55X, allowing for easy expansion in product design.

Chipset boosts bandwidth for AMD designs
The SiS748 for the AMD K7 platform is the first AMD chipset on the market to support a 400MHz front-side bus
Both solutions support Linux and Windows operating systems.
With the LV standing for lower voltage, the SiS55X LV achieves at least 55% reduction in power consumption over its predecessor, according to SiS tests.
That is combined with a 25% improvement in CPU performance.
The SiS55X LV family are highly integrated solutions, with an up to 250MHz x86/MMX compatible processor, high-performance North Bridge, advanced hardware GUI engine and Super-South Bridge, as well as integrated DRAM controller, Ultra-AGP VGA, advanced PCI hardware audio and software modem and CIR controller.
"With the increased performance, lower voltage and high integration of these products, we believe the 55X LV family is the most competitive x86-based SoC in the market", said Yee-Wei Huang, Director and General Manager, Information Appliance Product Division, SiS.
"We look forward to utilising our state-of-the-art process technologies to help our customers bring new IA products to the market quickly and cost-effectively".
