TI's unique new LoCosto platform is the industry's first architecture to provide single-chip solutions from ultra-low to entry-range wireless handsets. Using TI's advanced DRP™ technology, LoCosto combines the radio and all the baseband processing into one highly integrated
solution, reducing component count, board space, power consumption and system cost. For the first time, wireless handsets can be made as compact as match boxes and inexpensively enough to open up entire new markets around the world.
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 GSM-only LoCosto solution supports standard voice codecs
in dual-band phones. Support for both color and monochrome displays,
MIDI 16 polyphonies ringtones, system security and highly optimized
memory footprint offering provides the normal complement of features
demanded in basic phones
