MIPS Technologies' Processor IP at the Heart of Sequans' New LTE SoCs for Handsets and Tablets
MIPS Technologies has announced that the new LTE SoC from 4G chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. is powered by MIPS industry-standard processors. Targeted at smartphones and tablets, the SQN3110 SoC is Sequans' second generation LTE baseband chip. It incorporates dual MIPS32 24Kc processor cores, and is the first of a planned series of MIPS-Based LTE chips from Sequans.
Faster Clock Speed or More Parallelization? That is the Question!
Baseband processors for mobile devices typically run at as slow a clock speed as possible in order to minimize power consumption, generally in the order of 250-500MHz. However, the latest air interface standards are dramatically increasing throughputs, which is putting pressure on baseband processors to increase their performance, while simultaneously reducing latency. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why. LTE, or Long Term Evolution, is the latest air interface standard and is currently available from operators like Verizon, NTT DoCoMo and Telia Sonera.
