IPWireless iMB Device Solutions
IPWireless provides device vendors with comprehensive solutions, including an iMB IP Core and an iMB System-on-a-Chip (SoC), so they can more easily enable handsets for integrated mobile broadcast services based on operator requirements.
Integrated Mobile Broadcast (iMB) is standardised as part of 3GPP Release 8 and is ideally placed to address the growing market for a global broadcast solution for mobile devices. iMB harmonises the elements of existing 3GPP Release 7 WCDMA and TD-CDMA standards to achieve a unified solution incorporating the best technology from both.
System on a Chip (SOC)
The iMB System-on-Chip from IPWireless provides all the digital functionality for an iMB receiver application. A single embedded ARC processor and an iMB baseband core combine with SDIO, SPI and UART interfaces in a single ultra-low-power 65nm design. When integrated with the IPWireless iMB software stack and an RF chipset, device vendors can quickly bring innovative iMB solutions to market. The IPWireless iMB SoC can be integrated into 3G mobile handsets and other mobile consumer devices such as personal media players, and USB data sticks.
The iMB SoC is the dedicated solution from IPWireless derived from earlier SoC based iMB prototype modules.
Key Specifications:
• 3GPP iMB Release 8 operation
• Single 122MHz ARC processor
• 160 MIPS of processing power
• 512Kbytes of on-chip Instruction RAM
• 256Kbytes of on-chip Data RAM
• Internal boot ROM
• Boot from SDIO,SPI, UART or external EEPROM
• SDIO, SPI and UART host interfaces
• High speed operation up to 360kmph
• Dual Analogue I/Q radio interface
• MaxPHY LVDS radio interface
• 158 -pin BGA package
IP Core
The iMB IP Core from IPWireless provides all the baseband functionality for an iMB receiver application in a single integrated IP Core. When integrated with an RF chipset/IP, a CPU core, host peripheral interface and the IPWireless iMB Layer 1 reference software, device vendors can quickly bring innovative iMB solutions to market.
The IPWireless iMB Core can be integrated into a 3G ASIC to produce iMB enabled handsets. Alternatively the iMB Core can be used in a separate iMB ASIC for integration into handsets, personal media players, and iMB enabled devices.
