Overview

The QSC6240^TM  solution delivers support for WCDMA (UMTS) and GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks in a single chip  to bring 3G within reach for a much broader base of wireless users worldwide. Enabling in-demand data and multimedia capabilities at entry-level price points, the QSC6240 solution is the industry's first single-chip solution for WCDMA — enabling device manufacturers to meet the need for affordable yet attractive and feature-rich handsets that introduce new users to the richness of the 3G experience.

As part of the Qualcomm Single-Chip (QSC) family, the QSC6240 solution integrates four functions that typically require separate ICs — baseband modem, RF transceiver, power management, and multimedia processor — into a single chip. This level of integration offers device manufacturers the benefits of lower bill-of-material (BOM) costs, significant board-area savings, and simplified design for shorter time-to-market. The QSC6240 solution enables manufacturers to offer devices with smaller, sleeker form-factors that offer a wide range of in-demand features at lower price points — all with significant power savings.
