NXP's Multiple-Mode Data Modem Races Along at 150Mbps

摘要

Employing a soft modem-architecture with the company's newly cultivated digital signal processor (DSP) at its core, the multiple-mode PNX6910 Nexperia cellular system solution from NXP delivers 50Mbps in uplink mode, 150Mbps in downlink mode. Suitable for a variety of wireless products including handsets, laptop computers , Internet tablets, digital cameras, ultra-mobile computers and digital camcorders, the solution represents one of the first multiple-mode baseband processors to address the market for the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) services that are just now becoming available. With this solution, OEM companies making cellular phones and other consumer electronics will be able to develop LTE products quickly. The reference design makes it possible for different handheld products to establish cellular links to the Internet, while the soft modem architecture offers parallel design phases that can cut 18 to 24 months from chip design periods.
