System on Chip (SoC) integration is the theme of the first integrated 3.5G baseband and multimedia applications processor fabricated using a low-power digital and analog design platform and 45nm process technology. This SoC supports mobile standards: HSUPA/HSDPA, WCDMA, EDGE/GPRS/GSM and applications such as MPEG-4 video streaming, Java and MP3 audio. The high- performance multimedia, multiprocessor engine includes an 840MHz ARM1176, a 480MHz TMS320C55x DSP, and a 240MHz image processor.
