FEATURES
BENEFITS
•
Intel XScale® Technology
•
Designed to provide optimized power consumption and high-performance
processing for a wide range of wireless and networking applications.
•
•
ARM-Compliant Architecture
Intel Micro Signal Architecture
•
•
The ARM-compliant nature of the XScale core allows already compliant,
existing ARM-based applications to be ported quickly to the PXA90x.
Incorporates both Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and microcontroller
functionality in a single core, delivering significant improvements in
performance, programmability, and power consumption over traditional
DSP designs.
•
Integrated SRAM and Flash Memory
•
Integrated SRAM provides local memory for the system OS, cellular
communications stack, and user applications code. Single bit-per-cell
NOR Flash stores handset firmware and user applications, and enables
execution-in-place (XIP) for code stored on-chip.
•
•
Dual-Mode Modem
•
•
Supports both WCDMA and GSM/GPRS cellular standards with
Dual-RAT capability.
Full Platform Solution
Proven RF, mixed-signal, and PMIC solutions extensively validated
as a unified platform. Proven third-party software solutions enable
a compelling end-user experience.
•
•
Intel Integrated Performance Primitives
Full Range of Support Tools
•
•
Provides pre-optimized multimedia application codecs and libraries to
enable rapid application development and integration, while providing a
compelling end-user experience for advanced applications.
Includes compilers, debuggers, and simulation tools to optimize
performance and speed up TTM.
