MIMO WiMAX chip drives femtocell designs
Integrated reference design combines Sequans' new SQN2130 basestation ASIC with PMC-Sierra's new PM8800 WiZIRD 2Tx/2Rx RF IC.
The RM9000x2 solution draws less than 10W of total device power with each processor running at 1GHz and all of the memory and I/O interfaces running at maximum frequency.
The RM9000x2 integrates multiple high-speed bus interfaces, which include HyperTransport, DDR SDRAM, SysAD and a boot bus, to enable low latency access to main memory and high bandwidth to external I/O devices.
The RM9000x2 targets high-touch, performance-driven applications such as edge routers, DSLAMs and wireless basestations.
