Five-layer package takes in MCU, logic and memory
A novel five-layer stacked SiP (system in package) device combines a high-performance SuperH microprocessor, logic LSI chip and memory chips in a single package.
The platform fully supports 3GPP release 5 multimode HSDPA, which delivers peak data rates of 3.6Mbit/s and is fully scalable to 7.2Mbit/s and HSUPA without hardware change.
Renesas' Draco offers a highly integrated solution, simplifying the use of Edge RF in any application and featuring an auto calibration mechanism to ensure fast time to market.
Renesas was the first supplier to develop the polar loop architecture for Edge and the latest generation makes a significant step in silicon integration to create a compact design with a very low number of external components.
The polar loop operation and calibration uses auto calibration, removing the need for measurement equipment on the production line and improving performance.
The system is easy to design and highly stable.
Built around the Icera Livanto ICE8020 device and the Icera Adaptive Wireless HSDPA/Edge wireless soft modem solution, the Espresso platform delivers high performance in multimode 2G/3G networks.
