NAND Flash booting can be accomplished with chipsets such as Texas Instruments' (TI) family of TCS chipsets and OMAP application processors, which include a comprehensive NAND Flash controller. more Nokia to work on CDMA chipsets STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Nokia have jointly announced that TI and ST will offer ICs, based on technology developed jointly with Nokia that together compose standard CDMA chipsets. The chipset ICs will be marketed by ST and TI to handset manufacturers worldwide for cdma2000 1X and 1xEV-DV (1x Evolution for Data and Voice) mobile Internet handsets. This technology has been incorporated in the Nokia-specific chipset used in its cdma2000 1X phones, and following generations of this technology will be used in Nokia-specific chipsets for future 1xEV-DV handsets. Availability of qualified samples of the cdma2000 1X chipset is expected next quarter. more Related Tags: cdma2000-1x, analog
