PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Marvell® PXA1088 is a highly integrated quad-core application and communications mobile System-on-Chip (SoC) that
provides high-performance, low-power mobile computing; support for all global broadband 3G standards, enabling seamless
global roaming; and the latest wireless connectivity technology. Marvell’s PXA1088 is the industry’s most advanced single-chip
solution to feature a quad-core processor with support for field-proven 3G cellular modems, including High Speed Packet Access
Plus (HSPA+), Time Division High Speed Packet Access Plus (TD-HSPA+) and Enhanced Data for GSM Environment (EDGE).
The Marvell PXA1088 solution incorporates the performance of a quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 with Marvell’s mature and proven
WCDMA and TD-SCDMA modem technology to provide a low-cost 3G platform for both smartphones and tablets. The advanced
application processor technology of the PXA1088 enables a breakthrough end user experience for multimedia and gaming
applications with universal connectivity. Marvell’s complete mobile platform solution includes the Avastar® 88W8777 WLAN +
Bluetooth 4.0 + FM single-chip SoC and the 88L2000 GNSS Hybrid Location Processor, and an integrated power management
and audio codec IC.
Marvell’s PXA1088 is backward pin-to-pin compatible with its dual-core single-chip unified 3G platform, the PXA988/PXA986,
enabling device partners to upgrade their next-generation mobile devices to quad-core without additional design cost.
