Background information

This design is a full quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE system solution that addresses the entry-level and mid-range Value Added Services (VAS) mass market - including GPRS/EDGE class 10 - and offers multimedia applications such as still picture, video, MMS, Java, and WAP.

High integration, along with optimized processing power, eliminates the need for an external camera sensor interface or audio co-processor for polyphonic ringtones, MP3 listening, or audio/video streaming. The NXP core chipset includes a Nexperia multimedia baseband, an RF transceiver, a power management unit, and a battery charger. Passive integration delivers the smallest footprint, enabling a Tx SAW-less design that requires fewer than 90 external components for quad-band EDGE operation.

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.

Built around a highly flexible, platform-based architecture, this design can quickly be extended with multimedia features for completely tailored performance. A rich palette of LifeVibes software algorithms provides enhanced performance in video, still imaging, audio, voice, and security applications. Design teams can also add their own software, or software supplied by a third party, to the basic system.

Nexperia cellular system solutions combine mature, proven pipe technologies - created using the right process technologies - with the latest value-added features. The result is a portfolio that enables a range of handsets that deliver excellent performance in the field.

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.

To help customers design the right products quickly, we offer an extensive support network of software engineers and cellular experts working in locations throughout the world, with a particularly strong presence in Asia. We combine this field support with regularly held training sessions, for hands-on learning.
