3. Modem Part (MDM9615) The MDM9x40 is the latest-generation Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (QTI) MDM device, which further expands mass-market chipset capabilities by making 3G and 4G high-speed data services accessible to more consumers in developed and developing countries. An MDM device is similar to a QTI MSM device, but without multimedia logic. The MDM9x40 chipset supports high-speed data capabilities over a wide range of air interface standards. The MDM9x40 device is fabricated using the advanced 20 nm SoC CMOS process, and is available in the 8.6 9.8 0.82 mm, 527-pin pico-scale package (527 PSP). It includes many ground pins for improved electrical grounding, mechanical strength, and thermal continuity. 4. Power Management Part (PMD9645) The PMD9645 device integrates all the wireless products power management, general housekeeping, and user interface support functions into a single mixed-signal IC. Its versatile design is suitable for any multimode, multiband product. The PMD9645 mixed-signal BiCMOS device is available in the 103-pin wafer-level nanoscale package (103 WLNSP) that includes ground pins for improved electrical ground, mechanical stability, and thermal continuity.

IC interfaces 3/12 LG Electronics Inc. 4 17-8-8 5. Clocks The PMIC includes several clock circuits whose outputs are used for general housekeeping functions, and elsewhere within the handset system. These circuits include a 19.2 MHz XO with multiple controllers and buffers, an MP3 clock output, an RC oscillator, and sleep-clock outputs. Performance specifications for these functions are presented in the following subsections.
-
19.2MHz : An external crystal is supplemented by on-chip circuits to generate the desired 19.2 MHz reference signal. Using an external thermistor network, the on-chip ADC, and advanced temperature compensation software, the PMIC eliminates the large and expensive VCTCXO module required by previous-generation chipsets. The XO circuits initialize and maintain valid pulse waveforms, and measure time intervals for higher-level handset functions. Multiple controllers manage the XO warmup and signal buffering, and generate the desired clock outputs. 4/12 LG Electronics Inc. 5 17-8-8 Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
