Abstract :
A 1.2 V 600 MHz 4800 MIPS DSP is a solution for baseband processing in 3G base stations. It is based upon a partitioning of the workload between a DSP core and two flexible forward error correction coprocessors. This allows the DSP to handle a larger number of channels and/or to incorporate advanced algorithms.
