Freescale’s Value Add Base Station Solutions
► Freescale DSPs enable OEMs the opportunity to take full advantage of LTE capabilities
• 6 GHz raw performance with fully programmable cores
• Embeds the unique Freescale MAPLE-B technology that accelerates Turbo and Viterbi, MiMO, CRC,
Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT), Discrete Fourier Transform
(DFT), Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) operations currently performed in FPGA/ASIC
custom devices, contains configurable RISC engines which can be reprogrammed in the future to
accommodate updates
• Supports legacy 3G technologies as well as the newest wireless standards to enable using same DSP
for multiple technologies or in a multi-standard base stations
► Manufactured at most advanced process technology
• Helps to significantly increase performance and design energy efficient solution while integrating
functionality compared to previous generations process technologies
• Help OEMs deliver cost-effective solution, to design small form factor channel cards that take up less
space, increased functionality and consumes less power giving the opportunity to provide
differentiated and competitive solutions for their customers
► High speed and standard interfaces pertinent to different board topologies
• Meet required throughputs
• Equipped with off-the-shelf ecosystem
► Cost-optimized solutions
• Reduces channel card BOM by reducing chip count and eliminates the need to externally attach costly,
customized and power hungry devices
• Enabling common hardware platform cross multiple air interfaces saving CAPEX and OPEX
► Future roadmap
• Already addressing the need for highly optimized 3G-LTE Macro and Pico base stations
• Forward looking for cost optimized 3G-LTE and advanced-LTE eNB solutions
