A new programmable chipset enables cellular infrastructure manufacturers to create low-cost, differentiated channel cards for 3G basestations without the burden of developing their own custom ASICs.

In a move that fundamentally changes 3G channel card design, Texas Instruments has introduced a programmable chipset that enables cellular infrastructure manufacturers to create low-cost, differentiated channel cards for 3G basestations without the burden associated with developing their own custom ASICs The new chipset features a DSP tailored for wireless infrastructure and tightly coupled transmit and receive chip-rate ASSPs

This efficient and customisable combination will speed manufacturers to market with per-channel cost reductions of up to 50%.

For manufacturers, the new programmable UMTS digital baseband chipset offers a single platform that maintains the same flexibility as the popular DSP-plus-custom-ASIC solution but at a substantially
