QSC1100 single-chip solution

Features: QUALCOMM Incorporated has unveiled the QSC1100 single-chip
solution, designed to enable CDMA2000 handsets.



In addition to supporting features such as downloadable polyphonic ringtones and
color displays, the QSC1100 solution doubles talk time compared to currently
available CDMA2000 handsets. The solution features multiple technologies to
dramatically improve network capacity by up to 100 percent.



Dr Sanjay K Jha, president of QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies, said, “The QSC1100
enables our handset manufacturing partners to further extend their offerings in
emerging markets by introducing compelling, attractive devices at new price
points.”



The QSC1100 solution's integration of baseband modem, RF transceiver, power
management and system memory into a single chip reduces the number of discrete
components required, reduces bill-of-materials costs and delivers board-area
savings of more than 50 per cent. Manufacturers can now offer smaller and
sleeker designs at significantly lower price points and benefit from reduced
development time for quicker time to market.



The QSC1100 solution offers a wide range of features to deliver a superior user
experience, which includes 65nm process technology for enhanced performance and
cost effectiveness, multiple frequency operation, including 450MHz, 800MHz,
1900MHz and 2100MHz and also supports color displays and speakerphone.
