X-GOLD 608-Broadband Mobile Experience
with HSDPA 7.2 Mbit/s and Multimedia Engine
WITH ITS NEW X-GOLD 608 BASEBAND, Infineon Technologies extends its well
known X-GOLD baseband family to support the 3.5G mobile phone generation. The
integrated dual-mode HSDPA/WCDMA/E-GPRS modem technology, together with
high speed multimedia hardware accelerators and the advanced connectivity op-
tions enable X-GOLD 608 to fulfill the requirements of tomorrow‘s mobile phones.
INFINEON is one of the early platform vendors to support HSDPA category 8
(7.2Mbit/s). The implementation of equalizer based advanced receiver techno-
logy improves the data throughput, especially at high data rates, by up to 40%.
In addition, the software programmable slot processing in the HSDPA Rx path
provides further flexibility for performance enhancements. The HSDPA perfor-
mance of X-GOLD 608 meets and exceeds all test cases as specified in the 3GPP
standard.
INFINEON‘s 3.5 G physical layer architecture is future-proof and designed for an
easy upgrade to higher HSDPA data rates, HSUPA and also Rx-diversity.

X-GOLD 608 with its ARM 926 CPU, capable of processing speeds
of up to 312MHz, is extending the capabilities of wireless multimedia
without the need for a dedicated Application Processor. The powerful
multimedia engine integrated with the advanced dual-mode HSDPA/WCDMA/
E-GPRS modem technology enables a wide spectrum of multimedia functio-
nalities, mobile entertainment and office applications with high data rates
of up to 7.2Mbit/s. X-GOLD 608 based platforms enable handsets to provide
consumer electronic quality such as camera support of up to 5 MPixel as
well as video telephony, streaming, recording and playback with up to 30
frames per second and a resolution of up to 320 x 480 pixels (HVGA) in
MPEG4, H.264 or Real video formats and advanced audio codecs, like en-
hanced AAC+. THE OPTIMIZED X-GOLD 608 architecture makes it possible for
the users to run several applications simultaneously; e. g. surf the internet,
download emails or data to a SD-card with HSDPA category 8 (7.2Mbit/s)
while listening to MP3 music over a stereo Bluetooth headset.
Key Benefits:
High integration level of key multimedia
features allows minimum cost of system
solutions for tomorrow‘s feature phones
High overall system performance with high
speed ARM subsystem and double-data rate
memory access
