3. TECHNICAL BRIEF
• MPEG4 video encode/decode
• Video streaming
• MP3 playback
• Java applications.
This single chip solution allows for very small form factor phones with a high degree of power efficiency.
Its low cost structure makes multimedia feature-enhanced EDGE phones very affordable for
price-sensitive market segments. S-GOLDradio
TM
’s small footprint, competitive cost position, and low
power consumption also makes it the perfect fit for EDGE-capable data cards.
S-GOLDradio
TM
’s baseband processing is powered by an ARM926EJ-S CPU and a TEAKLite® DSP core.
The ARM926EJ-S is a powerful standard controller and particularly suited for wireless systems. It is
supported by a wide range of tools and application SW.
The TEAKLite® is an established DSP core for wireless applications with approved firmware for GSM
signalprocessing. The Infineon Technologies DSP firmware and software modules for FR, HR, EFR and
AMR-NB vocoding and channel encoding allow a short time to market. Additionally, S-GOLDradio
TM
supports multislot operation modes:
HSCSD (up to class 10), GPRS for high speed data applications (up to class 12) and EGPRS (up to class
12) without additional external hardware.
A wide choice of communication interfaces allows complex data and multimedia system designs.
Furthermore, S-GOLDradio
TM
contains its own Power Supply and Battery Management. Its design is
optimized forall mobile platform needs (such as graphic displays with backlights) and internal needs
(analog components, loudspeaker, USB, etc.). S-GOLDradio
TM
is driven directly from re-chargeable
batteries such as Li-Ion or Li-Polymer batteries. S-GOLDradio
TM
Power Management provides different
supply voltages by using highly efficient
DCDC converters, DCDC boost converters and linear, low-dropout regulators (LDOs). In addition, it
supports battery charging, generates stand-by voltages and supports different low power modes.
The S-GOLDradio
TM
RF capability features a quad-band transceiver for
EGSM/GSM900/GSM1800/GSM1900, and it is designed for voice and data transfer applications. Its
architecture consists of a direct conversion receiver and a quad-band polar transmitter for GSM/EDGE.
Accurate output power setting is ensured by an integrated power control loop, which supports linear and
non-linear power amplifiers. The entirely integrated quad-band RF
oscillator and Sigma-Delta synthesizer give the S-GOLDradio
TM
HSCSD and GPRS/EDGE capabilities.
