Baseband Module Overview
The mobile terminal uses a CDMA single mode engine (Cellular/ 800) with
Qualcomm baseband consisting of three ASICs:
zMobile Station Modem processor, MSM6000 (MSM)
zPower Management IC, PM6610 (PM)
z32MB Flash memory with 8MB of Psram memory
MSM6000
The MSM6000 device is a mixed-signal baseband chip that enables manufacturers
to meet or exceed the specifications of mobile stations for worldwide cdmaOne and
3G CDMA systems, including IS-95-A, IS-95-B, IS-2000 1x Release 0.
Subsystems within the MSM6000 device include a CDMA processor, a DFM
processor, QCT’s QDSP2000™ DSP for voice compression, PLL and an ARM®
ARM7TDMI microprocessor.Also integrated in the MSM6000 device are an audio
voice codec and analog interfaces for the radioOne RF ASICs. Controllers for an
R-UIM, GPIOs, and peripheral interfaces complete the system integration.
PM6610
The PM6610 device integrates all low-cost wireless handset power management,
general housekeeping, and user interface support functions into a single mixed
signal IC. Its versatile design is suitable for low-cost CDMAhandsets.
The power management portion accepts power from common sources – battery,
external charger or adapter – and generates all the regulated voltages needed to
power the appropriate handset electronics. It monitors and controls the power
sources, detecting which sources are applied, verifying that they are within
acceptable operational limits, and coordinates battery recharging while maintaining
the handset electronics supply voltages. On-chip voltage regulators generate seven
programmable output voltages using low dropout voltage regulators, all derived
from a common trimmed voltage reference.
Flash Memory
The Simultaneous Read/Write architecture provides simultaneous operation by
dividing the memory space into 4 banks, which can be considered to be four
separate memory arrays. The device can improve overall system performance by
