Background information

The Nexperia cellular system solution 5212 is a complete hardware/software design for entry-level feature EDGE phones. Supplied with all the pre-validated hardware, software and tool components for a finished design, it enables rapid capitalization in today’s fast-growing markets.

The Nexperia cellular system solution 5212 is a full quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE system solution that addresses the entrylevel Value Added Services (VAS) mass market including GPRS/ EDGE class 10. It also supports a range of multimedia functions including still picture, video, MMS, Java, WAP, audio organizer and video player.

High integration, along with optimized processing power, eliminates the need for an external camera sensor interface or audio co-processor for polyphonic ring tones, MP3 listening or audio/video playback. The NXP components in the core system consist of a high-performance baseband, a power management unit with fully integrated battery charger, and a complete four-band transceiver.

The Nexperia cellular system solution 5212 is a carefully designed combination of powerful core hardware and pre-validated, mature software. More than 250 million Nexperia-based systems have been brought to market, making these platforms some of the most extensively proven designs available.

NXP deployed the world’s first EDGE solution with the Nexperia cellular system solution 6120 and now offers EDGE for the mass market on top of a market-competitive GPRS platform. By using mature technology available in production volumes, the Nexperia cellular system solution 5212 ensures reliability and the fastest time-to-market for handset makers.

Built around a highly flexible platform-based architecture, the Nexperia cellular system solution 5212 can be quickly extended with multimedia options for entry-level, high performance EDGE phones. Local third-party partners can also provide a range of enhanced feature options for 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 with the latest value-added features. The result is a portfolio that enables a range of handsets that deliver excellent performance in the field.
