Register accesses could be considered synchronized to the TDMA frame as the DSP receives
commands on TDMA frame start boundary.
2.3.3 ARM SPI/USP serial interface
This interface is dedicated to OMEGA read and writes register accesses from ULYSEE.
Through this link is possible to access all POWER IC registered; hence this port is used to
configure and to manage the status of each block of POWER IC device. Also ADC result of
conversion can be read through this interface.
2.3.4 LEAD SPI/VSP serial interface
This interface allows voice samples exchanges in DL and UL direction between the DSP and the
POWER IC Voice Band CODEC. POWER IC VSP is the master port in the transmission.
2.3.5 SIM interface
The SIM Card digital interface in ABB insures the translation of logic levels between DBB and
SIM Card, for the transmission of 3 different signals:
A clock derived from a clock elaborated in DBB, to the SIM -Card (SIMCLK3 →
SIMCLK )
A reset signal from DBB to the SIM Card (SIMRST3 → SIMRST),
A serial data from DBB to the SIM Card (SIMIO3 ←→SIMIO) .
2.3.6 JTAG interface
The test access port (TAP) meets JTAG testability standard (IEEE Std1131.1-1990). TAP
allows public instructions set of JTAG standard and also private instructions to configure the
device in special modes for test or debug purpose.
2.3.7 CLOCKS
POWER IC device receives two clocks from CPU:
A slow clock CLK32K_OUT used by the DBB as reference clock for low power modes
(back-up, deep-sleep). The ABB adopt this clock as the VRPC synchronous state machine
clock and as reference clock when fast clock is not present.
A fast clock CLK13M_OUT used by the DBB and ABB as reference clock for all modules.
2.3.8 INTERRUPTS
POWER IC device is able to generate two kinds of interrupts:
An emergency interrupt connected to CPU FIQL signaling the detection of a low battery
voltage.
An event detection interrupt connected to CPU EXTIT signaling:
Falling or rising edge at RPWON pin.
Falling edge at PWON pin.
Termination of an analog to digital conversion.
Charger plug.
2.3.9 POWER MGMNT
Those three signals controls system status and system status transitions, they are supplied on the
VRRTC power domain.
The NRESPWRON signal is generated by the ABB, it is the reset of the power split part of the
DBB chip. It is active only one time (as long any kind of supply, Backup battery or Main battery
is present) at the first start of the mobile. Split power logic will provide to propagate this signal
as global reset as soon as power supply will be present on the rest of the chip.
The ONOFFL signal is generated by the ABB, it is the ASIC modules, ARM, LMM, reset.
It is at logical low level each time the system is switched off. Also this signal is managed by the
split power logic and propagated to the rest of the circuit.
High logical level is asserted on this signal when the POWER IC power management has
completed the enabling sequence of all LDO’s meaning that the system is correctly supplied and
that SW can be correctly executed.
At this time the MCU SW starts from its reset state.
The ITWAKEUP signal is generated by the DBB and it is used to wake up the system from low
power modes (backup, deep sleep). It is built as a combination of all the interrupt request that
are allowed to awake the CPU ULPD module and the RTC alarm.
2.4 SIM interface
The SIM_RST signal is SIM card async/sync reset.
The SIM_CLK signal is SIM card reference clock.
The SIM_IO signal is SIM card bidirectional data line.
The SIM_VCC signal is SIM card power activation.
S1160 only enables 3V SIM operation.

2.6 Audio Signal Processing & Interface
Baseband CODEC is composed of baseband uplink path (BUL) and baseband downlink path
(BDL).
Uplink
The uplink path amplifies the audio signal from MIC and converts this analog signal to digital
signal and then transmit it to DBB Chip. This transmitted signal is reformed to fit in GSM Frame
format and delivered to RF Chip.
The microphone is soldered to the main PCB. The uplink signal is passed to MICNIOTA and
MICPIOTA pins of OMEGA. MICBIAS is 2.5V level. The MICBIAS voltage is supplied from
Manager IC (MN401).

Figure 2-21 Audio Signal From BB to RF Block Diagram
Downlink
Downlink process is opposite procedure of Uplink. Namely, it performs GMSK demodulation
with input analog I&Q signal from RF section, and then transmit it to DSP of DBB chip with
270KHz data rate through BSP.
S1160 has two receiving model, the normal model and the freehand model.

2.7 Keyboards
DBB supports 18 Key and Switch-ON Key is directly connected to ABB:
- R (4:1) input pins for row lines
- C (5:1) output pins for column lines
If a key button of the keyboard matrix is pressed, the corresponding row and column lines are
shorted together. To allow a key press detection, all input pins (R) are pulled up to VCC and all
output pins (C) are driving a low level. Any action on a button will generate an interrupt to the
controller which will, as answer, scan the column lines with the sequence describe below. This
sequence is written to allow detection of simultaneous press actions on several key buttons.

3.3 Receiver
The Receive part consists of a dual band(E-GSM & DCS) antenna switch(MA701), a dual band
RF SAW filter(FL601) and a transceiver IC(MA601). All active circuits for a complete receiver
chain are contained in the transceiver IC (MA601). The RF received signals (GSM 925MHz ~
960MHz, DCS 1805MHz ~ 1880MHz) are input via the antenna (J702). An antenna matching
circuit is between the antenna and the dual band antenna switch. The Receiver Chart is shown in
Fig 3-3.

3.3.3 LNA andQuadrature Demodulator
The MA601 chip receive path implements a direct down-conversion architecture, so the received
RF signal is directly converted to base band I and Q signal by the transceiver IC (IF frequency is 0
Hz), which contains three Integrated Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), a quadrature demodulator,
tunable receiver baseband filters, Voltage gain amplifier (VGA) and DC-offset correction
sequencer.
Three separate LNAs(for PCS no used )are integrated to address different bands of operation.
These LNAs have separate single-ended inputs. The gain is switchable between high (15 dB
typical) and low(–5 dB GSM, –7 dB DCS typical) settings. The LNA outputs feed into a
quadrature demodulator that down converts the RF signals directly to baseband.

3.4 Transmit
The TX path is a frequency translation loop (TX OPLL) architecture consisting of an I/Q
modulator, integrated high power VCOs, offset mixer, programmable divider, PFD, and charge
pump. TX OPLL designed to perform frequency up-conversion with high output spectral purity.
The TXVCO output frequencies into PAM for amplifier signal power is suit BS (base station) and
into MA601 for TX local frequency. The PAM outputs pass the antenna connector via an
integrated dual band antenna switch module, and then transmit the signal to the BS.

3.4.1 Modulator and TX OPLL
The TX I & Q signals that from BB analog chipset are put into the MA601 TX modulator,
where they are modulated. The TX I & Q signals from BB analog chipset are fed to the MA601
TX modulator, where they are modulated onto either a TX of 880-915 MHz (for EGSM-TX) or
1710-1785 MHz (for DCS-TX). The BB software is able to cancel out differential DC offsets in
the I/Q BB signals caused by imperfections in the D/A converters. The TX loop contains a
phase-frequency detector, charge pump, mixer, programmable dividers, and high power TX
Voltage Controlled Oscillators (TX VCO) with no external tank required. The TX VCO has a
frequency band from 880 MHz to 915 MHz (for EGSM) and from 1710MHZ to 1785MHZ (for
DCS). Two on-chip transmit VCOs are designed to meet EGSM900, DCS1800 requirements.
Figure 3-12 MA601 TX Internal Architecture
3.4.2 Power Amplifier Module
The Power Amplifier Module (PAM) is consists of separate GSM850/900 PA and
DCS1800/PCS1900 PA blocks, impedance-matching circuitry for 50ohm, Input and output
impedances and a Power Amplifier Control (PAC) block with an internal current-sense resistor.
The custom CMOS Integrated Circuit provides the internal PAC function and interface circuitry.
One Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) PA block supports the GSM850/900 bands and the
other supports the DCS1800 and PCS1900 bands. RF input and output ports of the PAM are
internally matched to 50ohm to reduce the number of external components for a quad-band design.
Extremely low leakage current (2.5 µA, typical) of the dual PA module maximizes handset
standby time. The PAM also contains band-select switching circuitry to select GSM (logic 0) or
DCS/PCS (logic 1) as determined from the Band Select signal. In the Functional Block Diagram
below, the BS (band select) pin selects the PA output (DCS/PCS OUT or GSM850/900 OUT) and
the Analog Power Control (VAPC) controls the level of output power.
VBATT and IREGOUT pins connect to an internal current-sense resistor and interface to an
integrated power amplifier control (PAC) function, which is insensitive to variations in
temperature, power supply, and process. The PAC ENABLE input allows initial turn-on of PAC
circuitry to minimize battery drain.
