NXP Provides Single-chip HSPA Multimedia Solution

(Product News, 24 Jan 2008)

NXP Semiconductors has released a feature-packed, single-core, dual-mode Nexperia Cellular Multimedia Baseband PNX6712 for HSPA and EDGE. Based on 65nm process technology, the device offers manufacturers advanced on-chip multimedia features, such as H.264 decoding on QVGA at 30fps. The PNX6712 forms the engine of NXP's Nexperia Cellular System Solution 6712—a powerful HSDPA/HSUPA/EDGE platform, enabling sub-$30 electronic bill-of-materials (eBoM). The solution provides manufacturers a platform for multimedia phones, with a flexible architecture built around an ARM926-EJ processor, unique algorithms for voice and video, hardware accelerated low-power video, graphics and camera features, and built-in security and digital rights management (DRM).

Packaged into a 12x12mm footprint with a 0.4mm pitch, the PNX6712 features single-core architecture, eliminating the need for an external multimedia co-processor. It supports the latest audio and video codecs, four microphone inputs for better voice quality, two class-D amplifiers for clear sound, W/QVGA display interfaces, and TV-out functionality. All these features are supported by over 10 connectivity interfaces, including USB Hi-Speed OTG, SDIO, SPI, most memory cards as well as system level extensions for A-GPS, NFC, BT, FM, for seamless sharing of content.
