Details

  • Texas Instruments announced today that it has integrated most of the computing functionality for cell phones into a single chip.
  • Nokia will develop mobile phones based on the new chip solution, which will allow for more cost-effective high-powered sets, especially in high-volume markets.
  • Texas Instruments has been working on an integrated chip for more than two years and only recently demoed the technology to the world.
  • "This vision was first put into action in a single-chip solution for Bluetooth connectivity, is now continued with the single-chip GPRS solution, and will be followed with a robust roadmap of single-chip products to address additional wireless needs.
  • With the industry's first integrated single-chip solution, TI and Nokia are bringing more affordable, advanced mobile phones to consumers worldwide," said Gill Delfassy, Senior Vice President of the Wireless Terminals Business Unit.
  • Nokia said the innovation would optimize cost, sizes, power and performance in the entry-level high-volume mobile phones.
  • The single-chip solution approach to wireless chip design applies digital technology to simplify radio frequency processing, which the company said significantly reduces board space, extends battery life, and makes for a more cost-effective and powerful mobile phone.
  • Juha Pinomaa, Vice President, Entry Business Line, Nokia, said, "By incorporating TI's DRP technology into a single chip, future Nokia mobile phones will provide the ideal mix of cool features and cost-effectiveness, making them more attractive to the mass marketplace."
  • Also last week, South Korean telecom major Samsung Electronics said it had selected TI's imaging processor technology for the world's first camera phone with a hard disk drive.
  • Samsung said it had chosen TI's OMAP-DM270 processor, an extension to TI's widely adopted OMAP processor portfolio, to power its new camera phone model.
  • The camera phone with hard-disk drive includes a video-on demand feature.
