1.1.1 U8850-91 system structure introduction
The Base-band circuits mainly consist of 3 chips: QUALCOMM
MSM8255-1, PM8058, QTR8601, SanDisk eMMC memory (SDIN5D2-2G-T)
and Samsung mobile DDR (K4X4G303PC-7GD8) .
QUALCOMM MSM8255-1 (U401) is a chip implementing the digital
Base-band processes of a GSM/GPRS/WCDMA mobile phone and basic
PDA function. Qualcomm MSM8255-1 Smartphone Chipsets family will offer
800MHz to 1GHz CPUs based on the ARM11 instruction set. The CPU used
will be the same Scorpion models found in current Snapdragon chipsets.
Scorpion is 800MHz, Modem ARM11 is 400MHz.
The PM8058 (PU101) integrates all wireless handset power
management, general housekeeping, and user interface support functions
into a single, mixed-signal IC. Its versatile design is suitable for CDMA,
UMTS, or GSM phones, and other wireless products, such as data cards and
PDAs.
The QTR8601 (WQU801) device is a highly integrated and versatile
transceiver IC that can be used in multimode, multiband applications – with
or without Rx diversity. The RF transceiver block integrates advanced
receive and transmit features to simplify handset design, minimize parts
count, and reduce DC power consumption.
QTR8601 features
New features integrated into the QTR8x0x IC, RF transceivers, RF
transmitters, RF receivers, RF transceiver support features, Bluetooth
features, FM radio features, Audio codec features, Touchscreen ADC,
Package features
A specific module is dedicated to support the 1.8V/3V SIM card interface.
The module includes the generation of the SIM card supply voltage as well
as level shifters to adapt the SIM card signal levels to the micro-controller I/O
signal levels.
The PM8058 also includes an on-chip voltage reference; under-voltage
detection and power-on reset circuits.
The SanDisk eMMC memory (SDIN5D2-2G-T) (U1001) is used to store code

and personal data.
The Samsung mobile DDR (K4X4G303PC-7GD8) is used for temporary data
stack for code running.

1.3 Cannot power on the Phone
1.3.1 Causes of “Cannot power on the phone ”
„Phone is dead‟ means that the phone cannot be powered on when
the power has been supplied to the system. Nominal supply voltage to
the phone is 3.6V. If the main supply voltage is lower than 3.2V, the
phone does not start the power-on sequence. The causes of “Phone is Dead” could be one of the following reasons:

1.5 SIM Card Detection Error
The SIM interface can be checked tested without a SIM Card. When the phone
is switched on, all interface lines (VDDSIM, SIMRST, SIMCLK, SIMIO) rises,
first to 1.8V then 3V. From checking those responses, it is possible to find errors
in the SIM interface without a SIM Card.
