New architecture to step down mobile
device sizes
Motorola reckons it is completely revolutionising the development of multimedia mobile devices with its new Mobile Extreme Convergence architecture.
Motorola reckons it is completely revolutionising the development of multimedia mobile devices with its new Mobile Extreme Convergence (MXC) architecture, which will remove many of the current design limitations of affordable, advanced, full-featured mobile devices By totally redesigning the mobile architecture to combine functions, high-performance mass-market mobile devices can be developed affordably on a platform the size of a postage stamp - a significant jump over today's smallest approaches that are the size of a business card

MCU and DSP features combine in Flash hybrids
The 56F826 and 56F827 are Motorola's newest Flash-based hybrid controllers.
The MXC architecture simplifies and cuts development times, drives new applications, increases carrier margins and speeds adoption of mobile devices by rethinking the architecture to eliminate current design roadblocks and reduce cost, complexity, size, power consumption and part count.
It will open new markets for the next generation of "smart" mobile devices and consumer electronics.
