- Broadcom Corporation has announced a new HEDGE reference design platform for
developing next-generation for mass consumer smartphones. The reference design
is reportedly based on the company’s 65 nanometer single-chip dual-core HSDPA +
EDGE multimedia baseband processor, and integrates several communications functions
in a single platform.
According
to company information, the new HEDGE reference design platform combines an
HSDPA baseband modem that incorporates audio and multimedia processors with a
Category 8 HSDPA 7.2 Mbps modem, joining them on a single monolithic chip. The platform provides support for the three
mobile operating systems. Features include the company's Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS
and FM radio technology, along with digital image processing that features
support for an up to 3.2 megapixel camera. With this integration, the new
reference design platform is said to require less board space with lower cost
and power usage.
Bringing
our various technologies together on a single reference design platform is a
strong achievement, made possible by the breadth of our product portfolio and
the strength of our engineering capabilities." says Michael Civiello,
Senior Director of Marketing.
