Integrating TI's groundbreaking DRP™ technology, "LoCosto" successfully
incorporates functions that previously have not been combined in
a single device. With the RF section included in the device, designs
save space and components while requiring less interconnect for
greater reliability. The digitization of what was formerly analog functionality
improves testability, enables built-in calibration, reduces drift
effects and allows for auto-compensation for process and temperature
variances. All of these advantages add to the savings in cost from a
smaller platform and the potential to create phones in new sleeker
form factors.
The LoCosto platform combines an ARM7™ general-purpose RISC
processor core with a TMS320C54x™ DSP core, both operating at 104
MHz, for high performance with low power consumption. An improved
memory interface with DMA supports a variety of external memory
types efficiently. Reference designs are available for the solutions and
come with extensive software support for codecs, testing and other
standards to help simplify design.
The GPRS-based LoCosto solution adds support for MP3/AAC
ringers & players, camera with second display, MIDI 32 polyphonies
ringtones, Bluetooth®, non-removable and removable mass storage
media, additional external program and data memory, peripheral
interfaces and complete set of functionality required for entry-level
handsets.
