Texas Instruments and STMicroelectronics are sampling the industry’s first standard cdma2000 1xEV-DV solution. The 1xEV-DV standard provides very efficient, high-speed packet data capabilities with typical sector throughput ranging from 420 kbps to 1.7 Mbps and peak data rates up to 3.1 Mbps. The solution, the first in a planned portfolio of 1xEV-DV products from TI and ST, will support the 1xEV-DV Release C standard to meet immediate market requirements. Release C is the first stage of the 1xEV-DV standard to be commercialized and provides communication enhancements from the base station to the handset.
The solution includes the digital baseband and radio frequency (RF) receiver and transmitter ICs supplied by TI and the integrated analog baseband and power management device supplied by ST. It also includes TI’s protocol stack, comprehensive set of embedded wireless services, tools and technical support. It interfaces with ST’s Nomadik or TI’s OMAP application processors to support high-performance multimedia applications and advanced mobile operating systems such as Symbian OS, Microsoft’s Windows Mobile, and Linux. In addition, modular technologies available from TI and ST — including wireless LAN, Bluetooth, camera modules and Flash memories — will all enhance the ability of manufacturers to easily differentiate their products. http://www.st.com/cdmahttp://www.ti.com/cdmasolutions
