A Guide to Wireless Handset Processors (Paid Research Report)
Despite the lure of a billion-unit market, wireless handsets are one of the most difficult markets for semiconductor vendors to compete in. At the low end, cost pressures are pushing vendors to integrate the cellular baseband with analog functions such as power management and RF transceivers, creating single-chip cell phones.
At the high end, vendors must keep up with the newest air interfaces, such as HSDPA and HSUPA, while adding...

SOC Drawer - SoC drawer: The resource view Resource allocation can determine system architecture
A system-on-a-chip (SoC) can provide a single-chip solution, lower power usage, better performance, more frugal use of board real estate, simpler integration, and lower part counts.
Compared to multichip solutions, the SoC has huge advantages, but mistakes in sizing on-chip resources require spinning the ASIC and result in high cost.
This article introduces approaches for SoC design from a resource perspective.
The SoC design concept has...

The compounding effect of complexity on SoC design cost and predictability
The Global Semiconductor Association (GSA, formerly known as the Fabless Semiconductor Association) and other organizations have recently highlighted how costs for designing Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) are rising rapidly.
Though newer process technologies are partly to blame, this increase is mostly caused by the difficulties designers encounter when trying to deal with system complexity.
David explains the reasons why SoC designs are risky project...
