Infineon announced INCA-IP2, a single-chip Gigabit Ethernet IP (Internet Protocol)-phone solution. The IP-phone system-on-a-chip is based on two MIPS32® 24KEc processors each running at 400MHz. Its first-of-its-kind approach uses one CPU (Central Processing Unit) as a network processor while the second core employs a unique real-time operating system paired with dedicated VoIP Hardware. It provides the combined processing power of two 400MHz MIPS-Based CPUs one of which gives system vendors a dedicated engine for adding a virtually unlimited range of industry voice codecs such as G.711, G.723, G.729a/b, G.722 and G.722.1 Wideband as well as more advanced codecs such as ILBC, MP3, MiDi synthesizer, polyphonic ringing, video decoding and stereo sound.

Its integrated 3-port GbE switch contains security features such as a classification engine and bandwidth management which further improve QoS (Quality-of-Service). The INCA-IP2 supports NAND and NOR Flash, as well as DDR and SDR SDRAM memories. Interfaces include a USB host, an 8/16 bit parallel interface, a PCM interface, two Serial and two UART ports. The Data Encryption Unit includes AES, DES and 3DES encryption standards as well as the Hashing algorithms SHA1 and MD5. In addition a True Random Number Generator rounds off an impressive offering. Combined with a Linux board support package and a full set of device drivers, the INCA-IP2 comes complete with a SIP Phone Hardware and Software reference design including Voice codec Firmware, SIP signalling stacks and application layer software.The INCA-IP2 (PSB21653) comes in a P-LBGA-416 package. Engineering samples are available now at sample quantity pricing of US-Dollar 20.
