Developing Low-Cost Modular Handset Architectures Using Dual-Port Interconnects

Embedded applications on handsets change quickly and therefore the time available between two generations of handset platforms is shrinking. This causes OEMs to pick modular architectures for their systems that can adapt to the accelerated pace of the market. Dual-Ports play a key role in these modular designs by enabling the incremental evolution of multiple subsystems, which communicate at high bandwidth via a standard memory bus interface. To answer this emerging need, Cypress has designed and priced the new MoBL Dual-Port specifically for this type of application, making it the lowest power Dual-Port available.
