UCCP320 Communications IP Platform

The ENSIGMA™ UCCP320 IP platform is the latest programmable communications solution from Imagination, based on the Series 3 UCC (Universal Communications Core) architecture it delivers the world’s first truly universal radio processing unit (RPU). UCCP320 adds support for 802.11n and Bluetooth V2.1+EDR connectivity plus worldwide cable and satellite standards, Chinese CTTB (GB20600) and the second generation DVB-T2 digital terrestrial television reception, alongside standards already available on earlier UCCPs.

Series 3 UCC programmable radio technology provides physical layer demodulation and modulation. The updated architecture brings connectivity standards to the UCC plus hardware support for multiple receive antennas to be used, for diversity reception or simultaneous multi-channel demodulation. A 32-bit embedded META processor performs system housekeeping, manages data-link processing for DVB-H and 802.11, and distributes data using the platform’s own DMA controller.

The IP platform enables a true multi-standard subsystem in a similar silicon footprint to many competing single-standard solutions, realising industry-leading performance in all standards for all key parameters, such as sensitivity, noise, Doppler, and CCI.

UCCP320 is a complete baseband solution having digitized signal inputs (complex or real) and complex outputs for connection to an AFE and RF transceiver/tuner, with the option of both master and slave bus interfaces for data and control connections providing easy SoC integration.
