DCX81
Synaptics DCX81 chipset family is a flexible, high-performance and highly integrated solution for digital 1.9Ghz communication products. Combining state-of-the-art RF and ARM9™ baseband functions with Synaptics rich set of features and advanced audio processing, the DCX81 chipset is the best costoptimized solution for voice and smart home applications over DECT/CAT-iq/ ULE standard.
The DCX81 chipset’s integrated digital cordless telephone solution includes all required functionalities of a digital baseband controller, analog interface, RF transceiver, and power amplifier. The system-on-a-chip (SoC) also features an innovative, highly flexible quad-SPI (QSPI) memory interface for running code and storing data on a single device, thereby reducing time to market and overall system costs compared to parallel and embedded Flash solutions. Supporting all DECT bands and protocols including the latest generation of CAT-iq (2.0, 2.1, 3.0-SUOTA) & ULE, the DCX81 enables worldwide coverage.
Comprised of a 208MHz ARM926™ processor, hardware accelerators and a direct memory access (DMA) controller, the DCX81 chipset meets all telephony application needs, and is suitable for new markets and advanced applications. Synaptics provides hardware and software reference designs for the DCX81 in order to minimize development time and reduce cost and risk for cordless device manufacturers.
