The First 3G Mobile Phone Chipset by Spreadtrum
Spreadtrum Communications has announced the development of its in-house developed 3G mobile phone chipset.
Released in early August this year, the chipset adopts a 0.18-micron digital/analog signal solution, integrating digital baseband, analog baseband and power management into one baseband chipset.
Phone designers worldwide would otherwise use three different chips from transnational suppliers to separately control these three functions.
The company claims that, when compared to mainstream solutions, the new chipset is two-thirds smaller, has up to four times the data transmission rate and costs 50 percent less.
Currently, only a few other companies worldwide have mastered in-house 2G and 2.5G cellular phone chip technologies. These companies include TI, Lucent, Infineon Technologies, Philips and ADI. Qualcomm and TI are able to produce 3G chips.
