The MSM6150 device also interfaces directly with the first in QCTs powerOne series power management ICs, the PM6650 device. The PM6650 solution provides battery management and charging functions, including a USB charging option, and voltage regulation for the various MSM power regimes, the radioOne chipset and all other MSM supported peripheral features.

Exceptional power savings are realized through the use of a switch-mode power supply (SMPS) from the PM6650 device to regulate the MSM core voltage. All voltages generated for the MSM and radioOne RF chips are optimized for handset system control with the MSM6150 system software.
