handled without additional hardware. S-GOLD3 's proven architecture
known as "application-enhanced modem" is extremely efficient with
respect to overall system cost, footprint, feature set, power consumption,
and application performance. Its EDGE capable modem marks the third
generation of Infineon's EDGE-enabled baseband solutions. Configurable

zero-wait-state memories allow for fast memory access, fully exploiting the
processing power of the CPU core. To keep power consumption at a
minimum several power measures control the activation, the frequency
selection, and the power-down modes of the various on-chip resources.

To enable efficient access to external memory devices S-GOLD3 allows for
low-latency access to a number of memory types such as NOR/NAND Flash,
SDRAM, cellular RAM, PSRAM. DDR SDRAMs can be operated "high speed",
transferring data twice per clock cycle.
