设计揭秘：微软Kin智能手机

微软(Microsoft)最近推出了市场传言已久的智能型手机产品Kin，该款手机采用Zune多媒体播放器的接口以及云计算服务，专注于社交网络功能。加拿大反向工程与专利侵权分析服务供货商Chipworks透露，该设备是由日本Sharp为Verizon Wireless代工制造。

根据Chipworks的拆解分析，Kin的心脏是来自Nvidia的Tegra APX2600处理器，是一款4颗裸晶堆栈、包含Numonyx内存的组件的一部份；该Numonyx芯片的标志形状跟Intel很类似，其他还可看到ST的闪存与2颗Hynix的DRAM裸晶。

在Kin内部还有Qualcomm的QSC6085 CDMA处理器、TI的WL1271A WLAN/蓝牙/FM三合一芯片，以及Sony的IMX046影像传感器；Chipworks表示，与先前已经被报导的规格来看，该款Sony组件是未预期会出现的。

此外Chipworks的报告亦指出，Kin还采用了TI的TPS658600锂电池用电源管理IC、Wolfson的WM8903L立体声编解码芯片，以及Synaptics的1021A触控屏幕控制器。

Inside Microsoft's Kin reveals surprise

By Mark LaPedus

Microsoft recently rolled out Kin, its long-rumored smartphone. The handset is focused on social networking using Microsoft's Zune media player interface and cloud computing services.

The device is manufactured by Japan's Sharp Corp. for Verizon Wireless, according to Canada's Chipworks (Ottawa, Ontario), a reverse engineering and patent infringement analysis firm.

The heart of Kin is Nvidia Corp.'s Tegra APX2600 processor, which ''is part of a four die stack which includes the Numonyx memory. Numonyx chips have Intel-like markings, and inside one, we find the STMicroelectronics flash and two Hynix DRAM dies,'' according to Chipworks.

Inside the Kin, the device also includes Qualcomm Inc.'s QSC6085 CDMA processor, Texas Instruments Inc.'s WL1271A wireless LAN/Bluetooth/FM radio and Sony Corp. IMX046 image sensor, according to the firm. The Sony device was an unexpected win compared to previously reported specifications, according to the firm.

The Kin also uses Texas Instruments' TPS658600 power management for the Li battery, Wolfson's WM8903L stereo codec and Synaptics' 1021A touch screen controller, according to the firm.
