Chinese fabless semiconductor provider, Spreadtrum Communications has launched what it claims to be the world's first 40nm low power TD-HSPA/TD-SCDMA multimode communication baseband processor.
The SC8800G has been designed with 40nm cmos silicon technology and, according to Spreadtrum, achieves 'groundbreaking' levels of performance and integration while simultaneously reducing power consumption.
The device enables TD-HSUPA, TD-SCDMA, GSM, GPRS and EDGE operation and supports TD-HSDPA at 2.8Mb/s, TD-HSUPA at 2.2Mb/s. Speadtrum says the product will enable the price of TD-SCDMA mobile terminals to be close to that of 2.5G products and play an 'integral role' in driving the development of TD-SCDMA, TD-LTE and 4G technology.
Dr Leo Li, Spreadtrum's president and ceo said: "As the inventor of the world's first commercial 40nm low power TD-HSPA/TD-SCDMA multimode communication baseband processor, we are proud of our cutting edge technology in 3g communication standards, our design capability in advanced technology and our world class engineering team. The commercial TD-HSPA/TD-SCDMA mobile phones developed based on the SC8800G are representative of the progression from 'made in China' to 'invented in China'
