3. TECHNICAL BRIEF
3.6 Digital Baseband(MSM8255)
3.6.1 General Description
A. Features (MSM8255)
-Higher integration to reduce PCB surface area, power consumption, time-to-market, and BOM osts while adding
capabilities and processing power.
ଝ Baseband functions, including multiple hardware cores.
ଝ radioOne® RF transceiver functions (Rx and Tx, both eliminating their intermediate requency [IF] components).
ଝ Wireless connectivity and analog functions – Bluetooth®, FM radio, audio codec, and ouchscreen ADC support.
ଝ Rx inter-stage SAW filters are not required.
-Integrated hardware cores eliminate multimedia coprocessors, providing superior image quality and resolution
for mobile devices while extending application times.
ଝ Longer run-time for mobile devices over other industry solutions that use companion processors.
ଝ Primary and diversity receive paths are designed for equivalent noise-figure performance.
ଝ Location-based services and applications, including points of interest, personal navigation, and friend finder;
GLONASS, narrow band GPS, and wideband GPS are supported.
ଝ In AMSS™ 1.x only, narrow band GPS is supported, while AMSS 2.x will support narrow band GPS + GLONASS.
ଝ I2S provides the audio data transfers.
-Single platform that provides dedicated support for all market leading codecs and other multimedia formats to
support carrier deployments around the world.
ଝ High-quality digital still image camera (DSC) performance with up to 8-megapixel resolution.
ଝ MDDI host port to seamlessly connect an embedded LCD.
ଝ Ample processing power to support third-party operating systems (OSs).
ଝ HS-USB core with built-in PHY eliminates additional USB components.
ଝ USB-UICC support.
ଝ DC power reduction using innovative techniques.
