MediaTek MT6833 (see Figure 1-1) integrates Bluetooth, FM, WLAN and GPS modules to create a highly integrated baseband platform that integrates both modem and application processing subsystems for LTE/5G/NR and C2K smartphone applications. The chip integrates two ARM® Cortex-A76 cores operating at up to 2.2 GHz, six ARM® Cortex-A55 cores operating at up to 2.0 GHz, and a powerful multi-standard video decoder. In addition, an extensive set of interfaces and connectivity peripherals are included to connect cameras, touchscreen displays, and UFS/MMC/SD cards.
The application processor is a multi-core ARM® Cortex-A76 and ARM® Cortex-A55 equipped with a NEON engine, providing the necessary processing power to support the latest OpenOS and its demanding applications such as web browsing, email, GPS navigation, and gaming.
All of this is viewed on a high-resolution touchscreen display, and the graphics are enhanced by 2D and 3D graphics acceleration.
Multi-standard video accelerators and advanced audio subsystems are also integrated to deliver advanced multimedia applications and services, such as streaming audio and video, multiple decoders and encoders.
The combination of high-performance CPU, DSP, and hardware coprocessor provides a powerful modem subsystem capable of supporting NR Sub6, LTE Cat 13, Category 24 HSDPA downlink and Category 7 HSUPA uplink data rates, Category 14 TDHSDPA downlink and Category 6 TD-HSUPA uplink, as well as Category 12 GPRS, EDGE.
The MT6833 hardware also embodies Wireless Communication devices, including WLAN, Bluetooth, and GPS. The MT6833 hardware integrates four advanced radio technologies into a single chip, providing the industry's best and most convenient connectivity solution.
Higher overall quality can be achieved when simultaneous voice, data, and audio/video transmission on mobile phones and media tablets. The small footprint and low power consumption greatly reduce the PCB layout resources.
