Infineon Launches 65nm Single-chip Family for Low-cost Phones

( 1 May 2008 )

Infineon Technologies AG recently released X-GOLD 113 and XGOLD 213, its third-generation single chips, which enable advanced mobile phone features such as camera, mobile Internet and audio-entertainment. The new X-GOLD family combines the baseband, power management unit, RF transceiver and FM radio on one single die. An ARM11 processor provides the required performance and flexibility required for applications such as a music player, Java, multimedia messaging, e-mail and video functionality. The X-GOLD 213 single chip combines the properties of the X-GOLD 113 in the same package size.

The X-GOLD 213 chip offers additional functionality including an ED GE Modem, interface for up to 3-megapixel cameras, and additional connectivity for A-GPS, WLAN and Bluetooth. The EDGE functionality and the corresponding factor increase of three in the downlink channel data rates makes the XMM 2130 an ideal platform for real web browsing and messaging.
