OVERVIEW
At QUALCOMM CDMA
Technologies (QCT), we strive
to constantly improve the
indispensable communication
tools we all use every day. QCT
creates state-of-the-art chipsets,
system software, development
tools and products – such as
the Wireless Internet
Launchpad™ suite of
technologies and software –
that support the most advanced
digital wireless features and
functionality available for
wireless devices and base
stations – while continually
reducing complexity, cost and
board-space requirements.
The MSM6000™ solution,
part of QCT’s MSM6xxx Mobile
Station Modem (MSM™) family
of chipsets and system software,
uses QCT’s revolutionary
radioOne™ Zero Intermediate
Frequency (ZIF), or direct
conversion, architecture and
supports Release 0 of the
CDMA2000 1X standard. The
MSM6000 chipset, including
the radioOne RF components,
reduces the total number of
radio components by half,
shortens handset development
and test times and enables
higher handset production
yields. These features contribute
to reducing overall handset
design and manufacturing costs
as well as shortening time-tomarket.
The MSM6000 chipset
solution consists of the
MSM6000 baseband processor,
direct conversion RFL6000 and
RFR6000 receive devices, direct
conversion RFT6100 transmit
device, PM6000 power
management device and a
compatible power amplifier
device. These devices perform
all of the signal processing and
power management in the
subscriber unit.

radioOne TECHNOLOGY
radioOne is a revolutionary
technology for CDMA
transceivers that uses Zero
Intermediate Frequency (ZIF), or
direct conversion, architecture for
the wireless handset market. This
direct conversion eliminates the
need for large IF Surface
Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters and
additional IF circuitry, which
reduces the handset BOM,
resulting in cost-effective
multiband and multimode
handsets that can be produced in
smaller form factors.
Using advanced techniques
developed by QCT to enable
high-dynamic-range receivers,
radioOne solves the problem of
stringent interference
specifications with which CDMA
phones must comply. radioOne
technology also incorporates the
frequency synthesis and passive
elements used in converting
baseband signals to and from
RF. A single external local
oscillator is used for the CDMA
receiver, which will provide the
capabilities needed to operate
on systems around the world and
will simplify the procurement of
parts and greatly reduce the cost
of designing CDMA handsets.
new radioOne RF ASICs.
Subsystems within the
MSM6000 device include a
CDMA processor, a DFM
processor, QCT’s QDSP2000™
DSP for voice coding, PLL and
an 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
(CDMA SIM), GPIOs, and
peripheral interfaces complete
the system integration.

RFL6000 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Integrated into the RFL6000
device are two Low Noise
Amplifiers (LNA): a Cellular LNA
and PCS LNA. Both LNAs utilize
three gain settings that are
programmable through the
Serial Bus Interface (SBI)
Operating modes—Sleep, Rx,
and Rx/Tx, as well as LNA bias
currents, are all automatically
adjusted via software to minimize
DC power consumption.
Depending on handset status,
the LNA bias current adjusts
automatically to meet RF
performance requirements with
minimal power consumption.
The device is fabricated using
a SiGe BiCMOS process, which
is suited for high performance RF
circuits. The RFL6000 device is
packaged in a very small 16-pin
bump chip carrier (16-pin
BCC++).

RFR6000 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The RFR6000 device is the
radioOne zero IF down
converter. The device has 3
mixers which, when combined
with the RFL6000 device,
provide full RF-to-baseband
down conversion for the cellular,
PCS, and GPS band. The LO
generation block produces all
LO signals so that only one
external single band VCO is
required for all CDMA frequency
bands of operation.
Included on chip is the GPS
LNA as well as the entire GPS
VCO including resonant
components. The Rx PLL, which
resides on the transmit
companion IC, the RFT6100
device, is switched between the
GPS VCO and the external Rx
VCO.
Extension of standby time is
achieved by selective circuit
power down, gain control, and
bias current. These features
along with all of radioOne
chipset functionalities are
controlled by QUALCOMM’s
MSM (Mobile Station Modem).
The device is designed to
operate with 2.7-to-3.1volt
power supplies and is
compatible with single-cell Li-Ion
batteries. Compatibility to the
lower voltage (1.8 to 3.1 volts)
is assured when the VDDM is
connected to the MSM pad
voltage.
The RFR6000 device is
fabricated using a SiGe
BiCMOS process, which provide
high frequency, high-precision
analog circuits as well as lowpower CMOS functions.
Package type is a 40-pin
BCC++, which includes a large
ground slug for improved
grounding, mechanical strength,
and thermal conductivity.

RFT6100 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The RFT6100 is a direct
conversion IC that integrates all
the up-conversion and
modulation functionality
necessary for CDMA and FM
mode phones operating in
Cellular and PCS bands. This
transmit chip consists of I/Q
modulators, one for Cellular and
the other for the PCS band. The
baseband I/Q input from the
MSM directly modulates the
Cellular or PCS carrier derived
from the respective LO
generation circuit.
Both the Cellular and PCS
output drive their own variable
gain amplifier (VGA) with a gain
control range of 85 dB. A final
Cellular driver amplifier provides
a modulated RF output. To
accommodate split band and
filtering, the PCS VGA drives two
output amplifiers that can be
selected independently or
simultaneously via an input
selectable switch. All RF outputs
have fully integrated 50-ohm
matching networks.
Integrated on the RFT6100 is
the receiver PLL, the transmit PLL,
and the entire transmit VCO
including resonant components.
The VCO drives the LO
generation block which in turn
generates the required Local
Oscillator signal for all CDMA
bands of operation.
RFT6100 Device Features
• radioOneTM chipset eliminates
receiver and transmitter IF,
thereby reducing component
count, space, cost.
• Single or dual band
operation: Cellular and PCS.
• Single or multimode
