Qualcomm Introduces First Single-Chip UMTS and HSDPA Solutions

Published on:

Qualcomm has announced an expansion to its Qualcomm Single Chip (QSC) family to include support for UMTS. The company says that the new QSC6240 product for WEDGE (WCDMA and GSM/GPRS/EDGE) and QSC6270 product for HEDGE (HSDPA/WCDMA and GSM/GPRS/EDGE) are the world's first solutions to integrate a monolithic die -- with integrated radio transceiver, baseband modem and multimedia processor -- together with power management functionality into a single chip for WCDMA (UMTS) and HSDPA handsets.

"By introducing our fourth generation of single-chip solutions that include WCDMA/EDGE and HSDPA/EDGE, Qualcomm is making the high-speed data and rich multimedia capabilities of 3G technologies accessible to a much wider base of wireless users around the world," said Dr. Sanjay K. Jha, president of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. "Qualcomm is leveraging its technology leadership in 3G and single-chip design to significantly drive down the cost of 3G handsets and considerably reduce time to market by offering the world's first single-chip WCDMA and HSDPA solutions."

The high levels of integration in the QSC6240 and QSC6270 solutions significantly reduce bill-of-materials costs and discrete components, delivering board-area savings of up to 50 percent. The two solutions leverage cost-efficient 65nm CMOS process technology and significantly improve power efficiency for longer talk/standby times and an enhanced multimedia user experience."
