We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "OBSAI",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Low-cost serdes FPGAs available in volume from
Lattice Semiconductor UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "The LatticeECP2M devices are the industry's first low cost FPGAs to offer high-speed embedded serdes I/O, plus a pre-engineered physical coding sublayer block".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release FPGAs cut the cost of embedded serdes from
Lattice Semiconductor UK: "Production volume prices have been reduced to as low as $9.95 for the 20K-look-up-table LatticeECP2M-20, cracking the $10.00 price barrier for the first time".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Texas Instruments (April 2006-)
concerning its TMS320TCI6488
- take a look at Three-core DSP is W-CDMA basestation on a chip
which says: "Texas Instruments has announced the industry's most highly integrated digital signal processor (DSP) targeted toward Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) basestations".
Take a look also at the news release from Lattice Semiconductor UK, Low-cost FPGAs embed high-speed serdes I/O,
as well as Kits create OBSAI-compliant basestations from Altera Europe,
and IP cores are tailored for top-performing FPGAs from Lattice Semiconductor UK.
