Quatro® 4300 Series by CSR plc

Semiconductor Vendor with ARM Processor RTL license from ARM

Product Description

The Quatro® line of SOCs is a family of highly integrated, programmable processors for printers, scanners and all-in-ones (AIOs). Each SOC embeds a high-performance ARM® CPU core for processing page description languages (PDLs) and a Quatro SIMD DSP core for print acceleration and copy/scan image processing.

With the Quatro family, developers can efficiently build cost-effective controllers for a wide range of products using a single firmware base. The Quatro 4300 series integrates an ARM9 CPU core (up to 350 MHz) and targets low-end applications:

• Inkjet printers and AIOs
• Monochrome laser/LED printers and AIOs up to 35 ppm
• Color laser/LED printers and AIOs up to 10 ppm
• Low-end document and photo scanners

Higher performance applications are covered by the Quatro 4500 series.

The Quatro programmable architecture enables developers to differentiate their products. By utilizing the Quatro SOC’s programmable cores, developers can implement unique features, image processing algorithms and mechanism control.
