Newport Media’s NMC1000 Connectivity SoC addresses the rapidly growing global smartphone market
Newport Media announced its first system-on-chip (SoC) product to address the wireless connectivity market.
The NMC1000 is a Wi-Fi SoC that includes all RF and Baseband circuitry required to provide IEEE 802.11b, g, n-compliant operation including all necessary power amplifiers and switches. By leveraging Newport Media’s advanced OFDM baseband and RF CMOS technology, the NMC1000 offers levels of performance, power consumption, and external bill of material (BOM) typically associated with the world’s leading connectivity solutions providers.
The NMC1000 is available in 40-pin, 5mm × 5mm quad flat no-lead (QFN) and 2.5mm × 2.5mm chip scale packages, requiring the industry’s smallest external BOM.
Engineering samples will be available next month with volume production scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2012.
