Power management units (PMUs)

Each power management unit (PMU) is a compact, standalone unit that increases design flexibility while reducing board space. Programmable power supplies - as many as 21 in a single chip - let the system adapt to different operating conditions, so power consumption can be managed in real time. Each PMU is also supported by an evaluation board and control software.

• NXP PMUs for more talk time, more fun
• NXP PMUs - the technology edge
• NXP PMUs - the power behind convergence
• NXP PMUs - powering mobility

Application Software

Working with our partners in the NXP partner program, we offer a wide variety of application software, ranging from user interfaces and RTOSs to multimedia applications developed especially for Nexperia cellular system solutions.

Protocol Software

Our protocol stack, used in Nexperia cellular system solutions, includes an extendable MMI and is fully tested for interoperability with the application hardware. Design teams can build on the basic system using their own software, third-party software, or software supplied by NXP. Our in-house software expertise covers all the requirements of current and emerging applications, including video streaming, Internet browsing, FM radio, advanced speech recognition, MP3, multimedia messaging service (MMS), Java, JPEG, MPEG, Bluetooth, and more.

Fully validated Interoperability Testing (IOT) means each solution is ready for first-time-right deployment. We submit every technology - EDGE, UMTS, TD-SCDMA, etc. - for rigorous interoperability certification with all major infrastructure providers and test each solution on network across all major geographic markets.

Mono Interference Cancellation

Mono Interference Cancellation (MIC) is our implementation of Single Antenna Interference Cancellation (SAIC). MIC removes the largest undesirable interference from other basestations, reducing call drops, improving voice quality, and increasing GPRS data throughput.
