ISSCC papers look toward high-definition in your handset
1/2/2009
An early look at papers to be presented at the 2009 ISSCC this February suggest the imminent arrival of high-definition video in your hand. Underlying technology in broadband communications to support the demanding data stream are now in silicon, and a new generation of HD-targeted media SOCs is making its debut. Real HD in handsets—whatever the practicality of the medium in this format may turn out to be—cannot be far behind.
