GSM P r ocessor (GSMP )
2.7 V to 3.3 V Operating Voltage
T he AD6422 combines application specific hardware, an em-
bedded 16-bit DSP and an embedded 16-bit microcontroller
(Hitachi H8/300H). It performs channel coding and decoding
and executes the protocol stack and user software. T he DSP
implements full rate speech transcoding according to GSM
specifications, including Discontinuous T ransmission (DT X)
and Comfort Noise Insertion (CNI). A high performance soft-
decision Viterbi equalizer is also implemented in software em-
bedded in the DSP. T he embedded microcontroller executes
the Layer 1, 2, 3 and user MMI software. T he required Layer 1
software is supplied with the chipset. To ensure minimum power
consumption, the GSMP has been designed to control all the
power-down functions of the other components in the handset.

APPLICATIONS
GSM/ DCS1800/ PCS1900 Mobile Radios
GENERAL D ESCRIP TIO N
The Analog Devices GSM Baseband Processing Chipset provides
a competitive solution for GSM based Mobile Radio Systems.
It is designed to be fully integrated, easy to use, and compat-
ible with a wide range of product solutions. Examples are
GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900 handsets and PCMCIA data
cards. T he AD20msp415 is the higher integrated successor of
the AD20msp410 chipset, which passed European GSM T ype
Approval in June, 1996.
Voiceband/Baseband Conver ter (VBC)
T he AD6421 performs the voiceband and baseband analog-to-
digital and digital-to-analog conversions, interfacing the digital
sections of the chipset to the microphone, loudspeaker and radio
section. In addition, the VBC contains all the auxiliary convert-
ers for burst-ramping, AFC, AGC, battery and temperature
monitoring. T he chipset interfaces directly with the radio and
supplies all the synthesizer and timing control signals required
to support two synthesizers and a variety of radio architectures
including the AD6450 GSM RF-Chipset.
T he chipset consists of two highly integrated, sub-micron, low
power CMOS components that perform the entire baseband
signal processing of the GSM handset. T he system architecture
is designed to be easily integrated into current designs and form
the basis for next generation designs.
Softwar e
T he required Layer 1 software is supplied with the chipset. In
addition, an object code license is available for Layers 2 and 3 of
the protocol stack.
T he chipset uses an operating supply voltage of 2.7 V to 3.3 V
which, coupled with the extensive power management features,
significantly reduces the drain on battery power and extends the
handsets talk time and standby time.
