A mobile station modem VLSI for CDMA2000-1x

We present the CDMA2000-1x compliant mobile station modem chip implemented in a 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. An ARM940T cached processor, a TEAKLITE DSP core, and other peripheral IPs are integrated with the baseband modem. The related SoC design techniques and verification methodologies are also described. The functionality and performance of this chip have been tested by building a handset and applying IS-98C test procedures using the Agilent 8960 base station simulator.
