Background information

The Nexperia GSM/GPRS/EDGE UMTS VAS system solution 7210 supports a wide range of multimedia applications and connectivity while minimizing power consumption to deliver industry-leading standby and talk times. Manufactured in very high volume, this cost-effective solution comes fully GCF/PTCRB tested, so OEMs and ODMs can save time while delivering mature, reliable technology. Each Nexperia cellular system solution is a carefully designed combination of powerful core hardware and proven, mature software. More than 200 million Nexperia-based systems have been brought to market, making these platforms some of the most extensively proven designs available.

Each IC in the core chipset has been optimized to deliver high performance in a very small format. The Nexperia multimedia UMTS baseband integrates two ARM9 cores and two 16-bit DSPs and performs advanced functions like still-image capture and MPEG4 video record and playback by two RF transceivers. Dual-mode radio functionality is provided by two RF transceivers. The platform supports quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE Class 12 and single-band UMTS operation and meets the requirements listed in 3GPP rel 5 specifications. A highly integrated power management unit (PMU) reduces power consumption and saves board space by combining power-supply generation, battery management, and battery charging with a 4/5-wire touchscreen interface.

The core chipset is enhanced by built-in multimedia features that raise the design to a higher level of multimedia performance. Three ICs, one each for low-power WLAN 802.11g, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, and Near Field Communication (NFC), are integrated into the platform and provide wireless connectivity at every level of bandwidth. To ensure peak performance, the 802.11g and Bluetooth ICs have been specially designed for seamless coexistence. The platform also includes a self-tuning FM/RDS stereo radio that delivers very high quality with very low power consumption (down to 13 mA).

For completely tailored performance, the design can be quickly extended with additional features. In particular, unique LifeVibes„algorithms from NXP Software provide enhanced performance in video, still imaging, audio, voice, and security applications. The platform supports Java J2ME, WAP2.0, and conforms to MMS OMA 2.0. Design teams can also add their own or third-party software to the basic system.

The Nexperia Mobile Developer's Kit has all the elements needed to start working with a Nexperia cellular system solution. This simple-to-run yet powerful kit, developed in collaboration with ARM, includes industry-leading ARM tools and uses the popular Metrowerks Codewarrior for its development environment. The Kit is shipped ready to run on a standard Windows PC and includes a self-guided training pack plus a complete set of documentation (with HTML index) that provides extensive reference material.

We offer a worldwide support network of software engineers and cellular experts, with a particularly strong presence in Asia. We also offer training sessions, for hands-on learning.
