MT6589 is a highly integrated baseband platform incorporating both modem and application
processing subsystems to enable 3G smart phone applications. The chip integrates a Quad-core
ARM® Cortex-A7 MPCoreTM operating up to 1.2GHz, an ARM926 MCU and a powerful multi-standard
video accelerator. The MT6589 interfaces to NAND flash memory, 32-bit LPDDR2 for optimal
performance and also supports booting from SLC NAND or eMMC to minimize the overall BOM cost.
In addition, an extensive set of interfaces and connectivity peripherals are included to interface to
cameras, touch-screen displays, MMC/SD cards and external Bluetooth, WiLAN and GPS modules.
