The BCM2121 is a single-chip baseband device that is applicable for wireless handsets and speakerphones. The integration of the PA controller and speaker/car phone audio circuitry adds key GPRS handset features while reducing overall system cost. The BCM2121 contains all analog and digital GSM and multislot GPRS baseband processing functions on a single silicon substrate. Interface functions and drivers are integrated to enable auxiliary components such as microphone, speaker, displays, keypad, data terminal equipment, and SIM to connect directly to the chip. A flexible baseband control interface supports a wide range of transceivers including GSM850, E-GSM900, GSM1800, and GSM1900 frequency bands. To accelerate our customers’ product development cycle and to enable high-volume manufacturing, the BCM2121 also offers handset system solutions, including: • Complete handset and modem software, evaluation boards, reference designs, and integration support • GSM Certification Forum (GCF) and interoperability testing (IOT) • Worldwide network field testing In addition, features such as the peripheral serial bus interface, integrated 1.8V/3V SIM, and multiplexed I and Q channels add flexibility when connecting to other onboard components. On-chip hardware accelerators work in concert with HSCSD and GPRS software to allow user data speeds up to 57.6 Kbps and 84.4 Kbps. In addition to these multislot capabilities, the BCM2121 contains legacy GSM voice circuitry (adding all of the AMR modes) for voice applications. On the ARM, the V.42bis compression yields up to a 4× rate increase for GPRS and HSCSD traffic. The ARM7TDMI processor runs the high-level application software, such as the SATK, WAP browser, voice recognition/recording, and user interface. The processor can interface with various polyphonic ringer chips and control two black and white or color LCD panels for high-end handsets. The Oak DSP performs the GSM physical layer functions, including voice and baseband codecs, speech coding, channel coding and interleaving, and RF interface transceiver control. To minimize power consumption, the Oak DSP uses hardware coprocessors for computationintensive processing functions. Echo cancellation and noise suppression software is also included on the DSP to target speakerphone and other noisy environments. To further reduce overall component count and BOM cost, the BCM2121 integrates a number of typical PCB circuit functions such as a PA controller, echo cancellation, noise suppression, and hands-free answer sensing.
