General description
QCC5121 WLCSP is a system on-chip (SoC) with on-chip Bluetooth, audio and programmable application
processor. It includes high-performance, analog, and digital audio codecs, Class-AB and Class-D headphone
drivers, advanced power management, Li-ion battery charger, light-emitting diode (LED) drivers, and flexible
interfaces including inter-integrated circuit sound (I²S), inter-integrated circuit interface (I²C), universal asynchronous
receiver transmitter (UART), and programmable input/output (PIO).
An application-dedicated Developer Processor and a system Firmware Processor run code from an external quad
serial peripheral interface (QSPI) flash. Both processors have tightly coupled memory (TCM) and an on-chip cache
for performance while executing from external flash memory. The system Firmware Processor provides functions
developed by Qualcomm Technologies International, Ltd. (QTIL). The Developer processor provides flexibility to the
product designer to customize their product.
The Audio subsystem contains two programmable Kalimba cores running Qualcomm® Kymera™ system DSP
architecture framework from read only memory (ROM). A range of audio processing capabilities are provided from
ROM which are configurable in fully flexible audio graphs. In built capabilities in ROM, may be complimented or
replaced by capabilities run from random access memory (RAM), including those provided by QTIL, the product
designer or third parties.
The flexibility provided by the fully programmable applications processor plus the ability to configure and program the
audio processors enables manufacturers to easily differentiate products with new features.
QCC5121 WLCSP is driven by a flexible, software platform with powerful integrated development environment (IDE)
support. This enables rapid time-to-market deployment for a broad range of consumer electronic products, including
headphones, headsets, speakers, and Qualcomm TrueWireless stereo earbuds.
