The Intel/spl reg/ PXA800F wireless Internet-on-a-chip architecture and design

The Intel/spl reg/ PXA800F cellular processor is the first product in the wireless industry to integrate a DSP processor core, a high performance applications processor core, baseband communication logic, with flash and SRAM memories, all on one chip. It is a revolutionary system-on-chip (SOC) product in the cellular industry with dedicated access to integrated memories by both processor cores and which delivers industry-leading performance. This paper presents the key innovative architectural features and the key SOC design and validation issues associated with the design of this product, with preliminary results on system-level performance.
