T720- CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION AND 
THEORY OF OPERATION
BASEBAND OR AUDIO LOGIC SECTION
The logic part consists of (1)MSM5100 (vs
Wally in V.120C) which has an ARM7 micropro-
cessor, Qualcomm DSP, CODEC, VOCODER
and audio amplifiers integrated. Low voltage
operation: Digital Core as low as 2.3V, I/O 2.3V
to 3.0V, Analog 2.5V to 2.7V.
Basic Features Includes the Following: 
CDMA Module- 1XMC,IS-95A,B IS-2000,
Digital FM module, ARM7TDMI micropro-
cessor, Vocoder (13kQCELP and EVRC),
integrated CODEC, QDSP2000, R-UIM
controller. 
RF Interface: Digital Rx I/Q, Tx D/A
Peripherals and Interfaces: General pur-
pose I/O(GPIO), UART(2), USB(enhanced), 
Keypad, Ringer, M/N conter, Housekeeping 
A/D, Microphone amplification, Speaker 
drivers, Analog “hands free kit” interface, 
LCD support, JTAG for debugging.
Clock Support: PLL for 19.2 Mhz(tri-
mode) and 19.8Mhz(J-CDMA) TCXO fre-
quencies, separate PLL for Code clock.
Audio Features: Echo cancellation for 
handset, head set and “hands free kit” appli-
cations, Audio AGC, Voice Recognition (2) 
Qualcomm PM1000 (vs CCAP in V.120C) is 
a very simple power management IC with no 
integrated CODEC or audio amplifiers, it has 
8 LDO voltage regulators, it doesn’t have 
internal charge controller, instead it requires 
external regulated voltage and current for 
hardware controlled charging of Lithium Ion 
batteries. NiMH charging not supported. It 
doesn’t have a USB transceiver integrated, 
but instead uses an USB IC and requires an 
external 48Mhz PLL. Power on reset control 
circuit, vibrator, LCD backlight, keypad 
backlight, buzzer/ringer, and EL display 
drivers. Contains RTC, and 32Khz sleep 
oscillator.
• PM1000 doesn’t have CE bus multiplexers
integrated, but instead uses an ASIC called
Harness.
• LDO (Low Drop Out) Regulator Operating
