MSM2300 (Mobile Station Modem 2300) was Qualcomm's fourth generation of mobile chipsets implementing a CDMA/FM modem on a chip. MSM2300 was backwards compatible with their previous chip and offered additional enhancements such as significant power savings.

Overview

By the fourth generation, Qualcomm MSM2300 have evolved into a fully fledged system on a chip. MSM2300 incorporated a CDMA processor, digital FM processor (DFM), Codebook-Excited Linear Prediction (CELP), and an Intel 80186 processor core. The MSM2300 is pin-compatible with MSM2 as well as almost entirely code-compatible as well making it an ideal drop-in replacement upgrade.

In Jun 30 1998 Qualcomm introduced the MSM2310, an enhanced derivative of the original MSM2300. The chip was also pin-compatible allowing it to be a drop-in replacement. The new chip added support for Enhanced Variable Rate CODEC (EVRC), the technology that replaced CELP.
