Overview:
Mobile handsets are where the rubber meets the road when it comes to balancing functionality, cost, performance and power consumption. With lithium-ion batteries now only improving incrementally, if at all, it's up to the system designers to maximize their use of every trick in the book to keep power consumption down while meeting the ever-increasing demands of consumers for greater functionality, longer talk times and smaller size.
Much of this functionality comes in the form of digital cameras, multimedia processing capability, bigger screens and the ability to connect globally. More recently, however, there is demand for more wireless network connectivity options, leading to the addition of Wi-Fi access along with Bluetooth. But such additions inevitably comes at a price and making the optimum system-wide choices are what can make or break a full-fledged, highly functional handset design.
View this On-Demand seminar to see what choices HTC made with its TyTN worldphone with GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, Bluetooth v2.0, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi connectivity and a two-megapixel camera.
Use the seminar to see:
- A breakdown of the system's key ICs and components.
- What are the key features.
- And much more!
Who should attend:
Designers of mobile handsets, particularly those at the cutting edge facing multimedia, connectivity and integration and power consumption challenges.
