NEC Electronics has developed a 55-nanometer (nm) cell-based integrated circuit (IC) capable of dramatically reducing power consumption. Utilized in this IC is a low standby power CMOS technology that supports extended battery usage in mobile phones and other portable devices. We asked the developers of the first practical application of high-k gate insulation film to discuss their journey to make ultra-thin high-k a reality.
To achieve high-resolution display of graphics in cellular phones and other high-end consumer devices, high-speed data processing is certainly required, but larger memory capacity and high-speed data transfers between the processor and memory are also indispensable. In this article, we will introduce SMAFTI, a promising new system-in-package (SiP) architecture that was specifically developed to meet these high-speed data transfer and large memory capacity requirements at low cost.
Due to the increasing prevalence of wireless LAN environments, it is now commonplace for notebook PCs, handheld game consoles and other such devices to come equipped with wireless transmission functions. This article introduces NEC Electronics RF devices that can be used not only to increase transmission clarity but also to extend battery life.
Along with the spread of mobile audio players capable of recording music onto memory or hard disk, rapid advancements have been made toward incorporating music playback functions in mobile phones. This article introduces NEC Electronics' µPD99910 audio processor for mobile phones that enables 50 hours of continuous music playback.
NEC Electronics has an extensive lineup of power management devices designed for a broad range of applications. This article introduces our power MOSFET products.
In Japan, mobile phone sounds are becoming increasingly diversified as a result of the popularization of Chaku-melo™ (ring tone melodies) and Chaku-uta® (ring tone songs). In this article, we will introduce our new melody LSI chip, a device that is sure to further enrich the sounds heard on today's mobile phones.
3G mobile phones are beginning to show signs of full-fledged diffusion. Here we will introduce semiconductor technologies developed by NEC Electronics that are being utilized in service area expansion.
