Thanks, ouch, one reason I was expelled from the purified thread
<The portable device designer's main goal is to achieve the required level of performance in the smallest amount of cycles and by consuming the least amount of power, and then to put the system in a sleep mode until more processing is needed. Every unused cycle is wasted battery life. >

This, I would guess, is too difficult for the quacks dreaming of transmitting steaming videos within the non-TDMA quack-cocktailparty
<to solve this problem, cellular designers must achieve higher data throughput efficiency for each slot driven by a power amplifier. This is some of the reasoning for moving from GPRS to EDGE, from a client device perspective, where EDGE's modulation scheme can achieve more (especially considering upload) in a two-slot allocation than GPRS can achieve in four or more slots. >
Well, except that in the darkness of trying to catch up, TDMA is very popular in the Quack labs, but that is unspeakable and mostly unthinkable, and all over it all that fast power control..
Anyway, TI has its ducks in order, DSPs,ADSL,WLAN, mixed sillycones, even Burr Brown and one really reliable customer, huge allocations. Smack in the japanese 300mm pizza sweet spot and the patriots long time gone. |
