 1 System Overview

MT8516 is a highly integrated connected audio platform incorporating application processing and connectivity subsystems to enable connected audio applications. The chip integrates a Quad-core ARM® Cortex-A35 MPCoreTM operating up to 1.3 GHz. The MT8516 interfaces to NAND flash memory, LPDDR2, LPDDR3, DDR3, DDR3L and DDR4 for optimal performance and also supports booting from eMMC to minimize the overall BOM cost. In addition, an extensive set of interfaces such as TDM/PDM inputs are included for microphone voice input control / search applications on connected audio products.  

 

The application processor, a Quad-core ARM® Cortex-A35 MPCoreTM which includes a NEON multimedia processing engine.  

 

MT8516 includes two wireless connectivity functions, WLAN and Bluetooth. The RF parts of those two blocks are also built-in MT8516 chip which can support 802.11 bgn. With two advanced radio technologies integrated into one single chip, MT8516 provides the best and most convenient connectivity solution among the industry. MT8516 implements advanced and sophisticated Radio Coexistence algorithms and hardware mechanisms.  It also supports single antenna sharing among 2.4 GHz antenna for Bluetooth, WLAN. The enhanced overall quality is achieved for simultaneous voice, data, and audio transmission. The small footprint with low-power consumption greatly reduces the PCB layout resource.

The application processor incorporates a high efficient 64-bit Quad Cortex-A35 processor operating at 1.3 GHz. Rich memory interfaces (PCDDR3, DDR4, LPDDR3, eMMC, Raw NAND) provide high flexibility to support variant memory configurations. The elaborate MMD (MediaTek Module Design) provides verified schematics and PCB layout for memory and power source to reduce development time. Combo chip MT6630, 802.11ac/BT also gives the alternative to fullfill high end WiFi/BT requirement. MT8516 processor delivers high-performance computing, low-power consumption, and good multimedia experience.

World-leading technology

Based on MediaTek’s world-leading SoC architecture with advanced 28nm RF process, the MT8516 integrates digital and RF into one chip that is suitable for compact PCB design. The PMIC, MT6392, is designed to supply all the power to MT8516 itself. The two-chip solution brings lower rBOM and design effort to cost-effectively develop applications with fast time to market.
