EDGE-enabled Multimedia Phones
S - G O L D 3 ^{T M} T A K E S Infineon Technology's well-known S-GOLD^®
architecture to new performance spheres. Its performance-optimized
implementation nearly doubles the multimedia power of previous S-GOLD^®
controllers. High processor speed combined with multimedia hardware
accelerators and advanced connectivity make this device the "turbo
engine" of the S-GOLD^® family. Even the most performance-greedy
applications such as video telephony and 3D graphics can easily be
handled without additional hardware. S-GOLD3 '^TM s proven architecture
known as "application-enhanced modem" is extremely efficient with
respect to overall system cost, footprint, feature set, power consumption,
and application performance. Its EDGE capable modem marks the third
generation of Infineon's EDGE-enabled baseband solutions. Configurable
with a UMTS co-processor, S-GOLD3^TM extends into the growing 3G market,
offering easy migration from a GSM/GPRS/EGPRS phone to a dual-mode
wideband CDMA/GSM terminal.
A S N E X T - G E N E R A T I O N mobile phones go further and further
beyond pure communication functionality, S-GOLD3^TM offers cost-
optimized access to multimedia functions such as camera support of up to
5 MPixel (with JPEG camera module), video replay up to 15 fps/CIF
resolution, video streaming over EDGE in MPEG4/H.264/Real format, video
recording, and advanced audio codecs like AAC++. Supporting all this
functionality without the need for additional hardware, S-GOLD3^TM enables
a true 3-chip system solution with minimum cost and size requirements.
For even more demanding feature need S-GOLD3^TM is configurable with a
number of co-devices such as multimedia companion chips and/or WCDMA
co-modem for 3G feature phones.
S - G O L D 3 ' S ^TM O V E R A L L S Y S T E M performance is based on the
outstanding processor speed of its ARM^®926 CPU which is tailored to run
at up to 312 MHz. Data and instruction caches as well as general-purpose
zero-wait-state memories allow for fast memory access, fully exploiting the
processing power of the CPU core. To keep power consumption at a
minimum several power measures control the activation, the frequency
selection, and the power-down modes of the various on-chip resources.
To enable efficient access to external memory devices S-GOLD3^TM allows for
low-latency access to a number of memory types such as NOR/NAND Flash,
SDRAM, cellular RAM, PSRAM. DDR SDRAMs can be operated "high speed",
transferring data twice per clock cycle.
C O M B I N E D W I T H Infineon's latest SMARTi^TM RF devices and
SM-POWER^TM power management ICs, S-GOLD3^TM comprises the system
solution for next-generation, EDGE-enabled mobile phones with minimum
bill-of-material and space constraints.
