3D features	Built-in floating processor Transform, Lighting, Setup, Rasterize, Flat/Glow/Toon shading, Texturing, Texture filtering, Fog, Blending, Dithering, Full-scene antialiasing, Display list, Vertex array
2D features	Scaling, Rotation, Transformation, BitBLT, Line/Dot/Rectangle drawing, Blending, Transparent color
Others	Copy engine (High speed rectangle fill, Format conversion)
API conformance	OpenGL ES1.1

Key Benefits

1.High performance 3D rendering

G2 implements one of a kind 3D graphics engine to allow high-performing intuitive GUI menu. G2 accelerates a variety of 3D applications including GUI, 3D map and game.

2.Smallest-in-class gate count

The smallest-in-class OpenGL ES 3D graphics IP core allows graphics with advanced performance and features while saving the space in embedded system SoC and ASIC.

3.Less power consuming

Introducing the design approach targeting the smallest-in-class gate count and power consumption, advanced graphics rendering performance and small power consumption come together to make G2 an IP of choice for mobile devices including handsets.

4.The hardwired approach for advanced performance and quality graphics

The high-load graphics tasks including transforming, lighting, rasterizing and pixel processing are executed by the hardware to allow high performance/quality graphics even in embedded systems with less CPU load.

5.Conformance

G2 supports and conforms to the Khronos Group standards, OpenGL ES. Adopting the industrial standard API makes G2 friendly to PC or smartphone applications and allows use of standard-supporting middlewares and development environments, which will securely reduce the application development time and cost at customer’s end.

6.Easier system integration

G2 as well as other GSHARK-TAKUMI IP cores is provided in synthesizable data for independence on the semiconductor process technologies. Interface to the customer logic also supports the industrial standards and is provided in a customizable format, allowing easier modification to the customer design asset. For example, GSHARK-TAKUMI is easily integrated to the customer SoC interfacing the standard bus system such as AXI to the customer's original one.
