Class D family provides single-chip audio
Philips Semiconductors has boosted the home audio market, launching a series of single-chip Class D audio amplifiers.
"Handset makers need to continuously deliver updated, feature-rich models to drive consumer sales", said Gertjan Kaat, Senior Vice President of the Mobile Communications Business Unit of Philips Semiconductors.
"The Philips Nexperia Cellular System Solution, featuring Edge capabilities, provides a flexible, upgradable solution that enables quick and easy access to information anywhere and at any time".
Validated for Edge class 10, the 6110 solution supports data transfers with fast downlink speeds of up to 220Kbit/s.
The inclusion of an ARM9 baseband and the LifeVibes Multimedia suite makes it possible to stream 3GPP or MPEG4 files in 15 frames per second in quarter common image format (QCIF), making it ideal for TV on mobile.
The solution also enables high-quality QCIF video recording at 15 frames per second without the need for an external coprocessor.
The playback of MP3 and AAC audio files, as well as the generation of stereo polyphonic sounds, makes use of the fully integrated stereo capabilities.
Built-in mono interference cancellation (MIC), a version of single-antenna interference cancellation (SAIC), improves voice quality, reduces the number of dropped calls and increases data transmission speeds.
The integrated LifeVibes software suite further supports certified, JTWI compliant Java with JSR 135 Mobile Multimedia API (MMAPI), OMA DRM 1, revolutionary full-duplex speakerphone functionality including noise cancellation, and voice clarity features for the enhancement of speech intelligibility.
The Philips Nexperia Cellular System Solution 6100 is composed of a quad-band class 12-capable Edge chipset, including Philips Nexperia Cellular Baseband (PCF5213), RF SiP (UAA3587), power amplifier (BGY284E), power management unit (PCF50603), integrated discretes and software.
The bill of materials (BOM) is highly competitive due to component integration.
Hardware extensions include the Nexperia Mobile Image Processor (PNX4000), FM radio (TEA5761UK) and Bluetooth 1.2 module (BGB204).
Philips' Edge system solution has achieved full Interoperability Test (IOT) validation, which ensures reliability and compliance with networks.
The solution comes with a developer's kit, providing customers with immediate access to the platform to develop their own applications, as well as a self-guided training pack and complete set of documentation.
Worldwide local support is available to help customers get to market quickly with the right product.
Furthermore, Philips offers training sessions for hands-on learning.
Philips pioneered the system solution approach in 1999.
The solution is available now.
