1.1.3 General Description
MT6120 is a highly integrated RF transceiver IC for multi-band Global Systems for
Mobile communication (GSM) and General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) cellular system
applications. The MT6120 includes four LNAs, two RF quadrature mixers, an integrated
channel filter, programmable gain amplifiers (PGA), an IQ demodulator for the receiver,
a precision IQ modulator with offset PLL for the transmitter, two internal TXVCOs, a
VCXO, on-chip regulators, and a fully programmable sigma-delta fractional-N
synthesizer with an on-chip RF VCO. The MT6120 also includes control circuits to

1.2 Functional Description
1.2.1 Receiver
The receiver section of MT6120 includes Tri-band low noise amplifiers (LNAs), RF
quadrature mixers, an on-chip channel filter, Programmable Gain Amplifiers (PGAs),
quadrature second mixers, and a final low-pass filter. The very low-IF MT6120 uses
image-rejection mixers and filters to eliminate interference. With accurate RF
quadrature signal generation and mixer matching techniques, the image rejection of the
MT6120 can reach 35 dB for all bands. The fully integrated channel filters rejects
interference, blocking signals, and images without any external components Compared
to a direct conversion receiver (DCR), MT6120’s very low-IF architecture improves
the blocking rejection, AM suppression, as well as the adjacent channel interference
performance. Moreover, the very low-IF architecture eliminates the need for
complicated DC offset calibration that is necessary in a DCR architecture. In addition,
the common-mode balance requirement of the SAW filter input is relaxed. The
MT6120 provides the analog IQ baseband output without any extra frequency
conversion components.
The MT6120 includes Three differential LNAs for GSM 850 (869 MHz – 893 MHz),
DCS 1800 (1805 MHz-1880 MHz) and PCS 1900 (1930 MHz –1990 MHz). The
differential inputs are matched to 200 Ω SAW filters using LC networks. The gain of
the LNAs can be controlled either high or low for an additional 35 dB dynamic range
control. Following the LNAs are the image-rejection quadrature RF mixers that downconvert the RF signal to the IF frequency. No external components are needed at the
output of the RF mixers.
The IF signal is then filtered and amplified through an image-rejection filter and a PGA.
The multi-stage PGA is implemented between filtering stages to control the gain of the
receiver. With 2 dB gain steps, a 78 dB dynamic range of the PGA ensures a proper
signal level for demodulation. The quadrature 2nd mixers are provided on-chip to
down convert IF signal to baseband in an analog differential IQ format.
1.2.2 Transmitter
The MT6120 transmitter section consists of two on-chip TX VCOs, buffer amplifiers, a
down-converting mixer, a quadrature modulator, an analog phase detector (PD) and a
digital phase frequency detector (PFD), each with a charge pump output and on chip
loop filter. The dividers and loop filters are used to achieve the desired IF frequency
from the down-conversion mixer and quadrature modulator. For a given transmission
channel, the transmitter will select one of the two different TX reference dividing
numbers. These built-in components, along with an internal voltage controlled
oscillator (TX VCO) and a loop filter, implement a translation loop modulator. The TX
VCO output is fed to the power amplifier (PA). A control loop, implemented externally,
is used to control the PA’s output power level.
1.2.3 TX VCO
Two power VCOs are integrated with OPLL to form a complete transmitter circuit. The
TX VCO output power is typically 9 dBm with +/- 2.5dB variation /
GSM850 bands and +8 dBm output power with +/- 2dB variation in DCS1800/
Page 10
PCS1900 bands over extreme temperature conditions. Inside the chip, the VCO
differential output signals are fed into the output buffer, the OPLL input feedback
buffer, and the calibration circuit. The off chip signal is transformed into a single ended
output which needs impedance matching to 50Ωto drive the power amplifier. Like RF
VCO, the oscillation bandwidth is partitioned into 128 (or 64) sub-bands for DCS/ PCS
TX VCO to cover the process and temperature variation. Calibration process begins
after a period of programmable time when the on chip TX VCO regulator is turned on.
Total calibration time needs about 60us maximally and the frequency error after
calibration is within +/-5 MHz. For Vtune=1.2 V, the variation of kvco is about 14%
and 40% for GSM and DCS/PCS TX VCO, respectively, across the desired frequency
range.
1.2.4 Frequency Synthesizer
1.2.4.1 Synthesizer System Description
The MT6120 includes a frequency synthesizer with a fully integrated RF VCO to
generate RX and TX local oscillator frequencies. The PLL locks the RF VCO to a
precision reference frequency at 26 MHz. In order to reduce the inherent spur caused
by fractional-N synthesizers, a 3rd-order sigma-delta modulator with dithering
function is used to generate the prescaler divider number N. The prescaler is based
on a multi-modulus architecture with programmable divider numbers ranging from 64
to 127. A conventional digital-type PFD with a charge pump is used for phase
comparison in the PLL. By changing the output current of the charge pump, the phase
detector gain can be programmed from75/π µA/rad to 600/π µA/rad.
To reduce the acquisition time or to enable fast settling time for multi-slot data
services such as GPRS, a digital loop (calibration loop) along with a fast-acquisition
system are implemented in the synthesizer. Once the synthesizer is programmed, the
RF VCO is pre-set to the vicinity of the desired frequency by a digital calibration loop.
After the calibration, a fast-acquisition system is utilized for a period of time to
facilitate fast locking. Once the acquisition is done, the PLL reverts back to the normal
operation mode.
1.2.4.2 Synthesizer Frequency Programming for RX Mode
The frequency ranges of the synthesizer for RX mode are
RX mode GSM 850 1737 MHz ~ 1788 MHz
DCS 1800 1805 MHz ~ 1880 MHz
PCS 1900 1930 MHz ~ 1990 MHz.
And the divider number N can be decided by the following procedure.
1. Calculate LO frequency fVCO from RX channel frequency fCH
fVCO = 2 * fCH – 200k for GSM 850 and E-GSM 900
fVCO = fCH – 100k for DCS 1800 and PCS 1900
2. Calculate Nint and Nfrac
N = 64 + Nint + Nfrac/5200 = fVCO/26M Nint and Nfrac are integers
0 ≤ Nfrac < 5200
3. Use the binary equivalents of Nint and Nfrac to program registers CW1-N_INT
and CW1-N_FRA.
Page 11
1.2.4.3 Synthesizer Frequency Programming for TX Mode
The frequency ranges of the synthesizer for TX mode are
TX mode GSM850 1813 MHz ~ 1868 MHz
DCS1800 1881 MHz ~ 2008 MHz
PCS1900 2035 MHz ~ 2149 MHz
And the divider number N can be decided by the following procedure.
1. Set the divider ratio D1 of TX reference divider = 11
2. Calculate LO frequency fVCO from TX channel frequency fCH
fVCO = 2 * D1 * fCH / (D1-1) for GSM850
fVCO = D1 * fCH / (D1-1) for DCS1800 and PCS1900
3. Calculate Nint and Nfrac
N = 64 + Nint + Nfrac/5200 = fVCO/26M Nint and Nfrac are integers
0 ≤ Nfrac < 5200
4. If Nfra < 400 or Nfra > 4800, re-set D1 = 9 and repeat Step 2 and 3 to get new
Nint and Nfrac.
5. Use the binary equivalents of Nint and Nfrac to program registers CW1-N_INT
and CW1-N_FRA.
1.2.4.4 Digital Calibration Loop
The MT6120 uses a digital calibration technique to reduce the PLL settling time.
Once the RF synthesizer is programmed through a 3-wire serial interface, the
calibration loop is activated. The main function of the calibration loop is to preset
the RF VCO to the vicinity of the desired frequency quickly and correctly, thus
aiding the PLL to settle faster.
On the other hand, since a large portion of initial frequency error is dealt with by
the integrated calibration loop, the overall locking time can be drastically reduced,
irrespective of the desired frequency.
1.2.4.5 Fast-Acquisition System
After the digital calibration loop presets the RFVCO, the RF synthesizer reverts to
the PLL operation and a fast-acquisition system is activated. For faster settling, the
charge pump current is set to a higher current than normal setting for a period of
time, typically, 20 µs or 60 µs.
1.2.4.5 Voltage Control Crystal Oscillator
Voltage Control Crystal Oscillator (VCXO) consists of an amplifier, a buffer, and a
programmable capacitor array. The VCXO provides the MT6120 with a selectable
reference frequency of either 13 MHz or 26 MHz.
The amplifier is designed to be in series resonance with a standard 26 MHz crystal.
The crystal is connected from the input pin XTAL of amplifier to ground through a
series load capacitance. The buffer provides a typical 600 mVpp voltage swing at
either 13 MHz or 26 MHz. It is designed to drive a tuned load to improve harmonic
contents and reduce the oscillator current consumption. The capacitor array, from
0.0625 pF to 4 pF in steps of 0.0625 pF, is used to shunt the series load capacitor
for coarse tuning and remove any fixed offsets due to crystal manufacturing
variations. An internal varactor that provides fine tuning combines with the
Page 12
capacitor array. As an alternative, the reference frequency can be provided by an
external 26 MHz VCTCXO module. When pin VCXOCXR is tied to the VCCVCXO
supply, the XTAL pin will accept an external signal. Furthermore, the VCXO control
pin can be tied to VCCVCXO to prevent the current leakage during the sleep mode
operation.
1.2.4.6 Regulator
The MT6120 internal regulators provide low noise, stable, temperature and process
independent supply voltages to critical blocks in the transceiver. An internal Pchannel MOSFET pass transistor is used to achieve a low dropout (LDO) voltage of
less than 150 mV in all regulators.

3.4 Detailed Description Overview
The MT6305 is a power management chip optimized for use with GSM baseband chipsets
in handset applications. Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the MT6305.
The MT6305 contains several blocks:
3.4.1 Low Dropout Regulator ( LDOs ) and Reference
The MT6305 Integrates seven LDOs that are optimized for their given functions by
balancing quiescent current, dropout voltage, line/load regulation, ripple rejection, and
output noise.
3.4.2 Digital Core LDO (Vcore)
The digital core LDO is a regulator that could source 200mA (max) with 1.8V output
voltage. It supplies the baseband circuitry in the handset. The LDO is optimized for
very low quiescent current.
Page 24
3.4.3 Digital IO LDO (Vio)
The digital IO LDO is a regulator that could source 100mA (max) with 2.8V output
voltage. It supplies the baseband circuitry in the handset. The LDO is optimized for
very low quiescent current and will power up at the same time as the digital core LDO.
3.4.4 Analog LDO ( Va )
The analog LDO is a regulator that could source 150mA (max) with 2.8V output voltage.
It supplies the analog sections of the baseband chipsets. The LDO is optimized for low
frequency ripple rejection in order to reject the ripple coming from the RF power
amplifier burst frequency at 217Hz.
3.4.5 TCXO LDO (Vtcxo)
The TCXO LDO is a regulator that could source 20mA (max) with 2.8V output voltage.
It supplies the temperature compensated crystal oscillator, which needs its own ultra
low noise supply and very good ripple rejection ratio.
3.4.6 RTC LDO (Vrtc)
The RTC LDO is a regulator that could source 200µA (max) with 1.5V output voltage. It
charges up a capacitor-type backup coin cell to run the real-time clock module. The
LDO features the reverse current protection and is optimized for ultra low quiescent
current since it is always on except battery voltage below 2.5V.
3.4.7 Memory LDO (Vm)
The memory LDO is a regulator that could source 150mA (max) with 1.8V or 2.8V
output voltage selection based on the supply specs of memory chips. It supplies the
memory circuitry in the handset. The LDO is optimized for very low quiescent current
and will power up at the same time as the digital core LDO.
3.4.8 SIM LDO (Vsim)
The SIM LDO is a regulator that could source 20mA (max) with 1.8V or 3.0V output
voltage selection based on the supply specs of subscriber identity modules (SIM) card.
It supplies the SIMs in the handset. The LDO is controlled independently of the others
LDO.
3.4.9 Reference Voltage Output (Vref)
The reference voltage output is a low noise, high PSRR and high precision reference
with a guaranteed accuracy of 1.5% over temperature. It is used as system reference
in MT6305 internally. However for accurate specs of every LDO output voltage, avoid
loading the reference voltage and bypass it to GND with 100 nF minimum.
3.4.10 SIM Card Interface
The SIM card interface circuitry of MT6305 meets all ETSI and IMT-2000 SIM
interface requirements. It provides level shifting needs for low voltage GSM controller
to communicate with either 1.8V or 3V SIM
cards. All SIM cards contain a clock input, a reset input, and a bi-directional data
Page 25
input/output. The clock and reset inputs to SIM cards are level shifted from the supply
of digital IO (Vio) of baseband chipset to the SIM supply (Vsim). The bi-directional data
bus is internal pull high with 20kohm resistor on the controller side and with 10kohm
resistor on the SIM side. All pins that connect to the SIM card (Vsim, SRST, SCLK, SIO)
withstand over 5kV of human body mode ESD. In order to ensure proper ESD
protection, careful board layout is required.
3.4.11 Vibrator, Alerter, LED Switches
Three built-in open-drain output switches drive the vibrator motor, alerter beeper and
LEDs in the handset. Each switch is controlled by baseband chipset with enable pins.
The switch of LED can sink 150mA to drive up to 10 LEDs simultaneously for backlight.
The switch of vibrator can sink 250mA for a vibrator motor. The switch of alerter can
sink 300mA to drive the beeper. And all the open-drain output switches are high
impedance when disable.
3.5 Power Sequence and Protection Logic
The MT6305 handles the powering ON and OFF of the handset. It is possible to start the
power on sequence in three different ways:
-Pulling PWRKEY low
-Pulling PWRBB high
-CHRIN exceeds Chr Det threshold
Pulling PWRKEY low is the normal way of turning on the handset. This will turn on Vcore,
Vio, Vm LDOs as long as the PWRKEY is held low. The Vtcxo and Va LDOs is turned on
when SRCLKEN is high. The microprocessor then starts and pulls PWRBB high after
which PWRKEY can be released. Pulling PWRBB high will also turn on the handset. This
is the case when the alarm in the RTC expires.
Applying an external supply on CHRIN will also turn the handset on. If MT6305 is in the
UVLO state, applying the adapter will not start up the LDOs.
3.5.1 Under voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The UVLO function in the MT6305 prevents startup when initial voltage of the main
battery is below the 3.2V threshold. When the battery voltage is greater than 3.2V,
the UVLO comparator trips and the threshold is reduced to 2.9V. This allows the
handset to start normally until the battery decays to below 2.9V. Once the MT6305
enters UVLO state, it draws very low quiescent current, typically 30µA. The RTC LDO
is still running until the DDLO disables it. In this mode the MT6305 draws 5µA of
quiescent current.
3.5.2 Deep Discharge Lockout (DDLO)
The DDLO in the MT6305 has two functions:
-To turn off the Vrtc LDO.
-To shut down the handset when the software fails to turn off the phone when the
battery drops below 3.0V. The DDLO will shut down the handset when the battery
falls below 2.5 V to prevent further discharge and damage to the cells.
Page 26
3.5.3 Reset
The MT6305 contains a reset circuit that is active at both power-up and power-down.
The RESET pin is held low at initial power-up, and the reset delay timer is started. The
delay is set by an external capacitor on RSTCAP:
(1) At power-off, RESET will be kept low.
3.5.4 Over temperature Protection
If the die temperature of MT6305 exceeds 165°C, the MT6305 will disable all the
LDOs except the RTC LDO. Once the over temperature state is resolved, a new power
on sequence is required to enable the LDOs.
3.5.5 Battery Charger
The MT6305 battery charger can be used with Li-ion and NiMH batteries. BATUSE
pin can set MT6305 to fit the battery type. When BATUSE is set low, Li-ion battery is
used. When BATUSE is set high, then NiMH battery is used. MT6305 charges the
battery in three phases: pre-charging, constant current mode charging, and constant
voltage mode charging. Figure 2 shows the flow chart of charger behavior. The
circuitry of MT6305 combines with a PMOS transistor, diode, current-sense resistor
externally to form a simple and low cost linear charger shown in Figure 4. MT6305 is
available pulsed top-off charging algorithm by the CHRCNTL pin control from
baseband chipset.

4. POWER AMPLIFIER FOR GSM850 / DCS1800 / PCS1900
4.1 Block Diagram and Description
The SKY77328 Power Amplifier Module (PAM) is designed in a low profile (1.2 mm),
compact form factor for quad-band cellular handsets comprising GSM850, DCS1800, and
PCS1900 operation. The PAM also supports Class 12 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
multi-slot operation.
The module consists of separate GSM850 PA and DCS1800/PCS1900 PA blocks,
impedance-matching circuitry for 50 Ω input and output impedances, and a Power
Amplifier Control (PAC) block with an internal current-sense resistor. The custom BiCMOS
integrated circuit provides the internal PAC function and interface circuitry. Fabricated
onto a single Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) die, one Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) PA
block supports the GSM850 bands and the other supports the DCS1800 and PCS1900 bands.
Both PA blocks share common power supply pins to distribute current. The GaAs die, the
Silicon (Si) die, and the passive components are mounted on a multi-layer laminate
substrate. The assembly is encapsulated with plastic overmold.
RF input and output ports of the SKY77328 are internally matched to a 50 Ω load 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 SKY77328
also contains band-select switching circuitry to select GSM (logic 0) or DCS/PCS (logic 1)
as determined from the Band Select (BS) signal. In Figure 1 below, the BS pin selects the
PA output (DCS/PCS OUT or GSM850 OUT) and the Analog Power Control (VAPC) controls
Page 29
the level of output power.
The VBATT pin connects to an internal current-sense resistor and interfaces to an
integrated power amplifier control (iPAC™) function, which is insensitive to variations in
temperature, power supply, process, and input power. The ENABLE input allows initial
turn-on of PAM circuitry to minimize battery drain.

5.4 CAMERA IMAGE SENSOR
5.4.1 Block Diagram & Description
The MT9T012 is a progressive-scan sensor that generates a stream of pixel data at a
constant frame rate. It uses an on-chip, phase-locked loop (PLL) to generate all internal
clocks from a single master input clock running between 6MHz and 27MHz. The
maximum pixel rate is 64 megapixels/second, corresponding to a pixel clock rate of 64
MHz. The core of the sensor is a 3-megapixel active-pixel array. The timing and
control circuitry sequences through the rows of the array, resetting and then reading
each row in turn. In the time interval between resetting a row and reading that row, the
pixels in the row integrate incident light. The exposure is controlled by varying the time
interval between reset and readout. Once a row has been read, the data from the
columns is sequenced through an analog signal chain (providing offset correction and
gain), and then through an ADC. The output from the ADC is a 10-bit value for each
pixel in the array. The ADC output passes through a digital processing signal chain
(which provides further data path corrections and applies digital gain).
The pixel array contains optically active and light-shielded (“dark”) pixels. The dark
pixels are used to provide data for on-chip offset-correction algorithms (“black level”
control). The sensor contains a set of control and status registers that can be used to
control many aspects of the sensor behavior including the frame size, exposure and gain
setting. These registers can be accessed through a two-wire serial interface.
The output from the sensor is a Bayer pattern; alternate rows are a sequence of either
green/red pixels or blue/green pixels. The offset and gain stages of the analog signal
Page 35
chain provide per-color control of the pixel data.
The control registers, timing and control and digital processing functions shown in
BLOCK DIAGRAM are partitioned into two logical parts:
• A sensor core which provides array control and data path corrections. The output of
the sensor core is a 10-bit parallel pixel data stream qualified by an output data clock
(PIXCLK), together with LINE_VALID and FRAME_VALID signals.
• Additional functionality is required to support the SMIA standard. This includes a
horizontal and vertical image scaler, a limiter, a data compressor, an output FIFO,and a
serialiser.
A flash output strobe is provided to allow an external Xenon or LED light source to
synchronize with the sensor exposure time. Additional I/O signals support the provision
of an external mechanical shutter.
