3.1.3 GSM System Description

The E-GOLDvoice is suited for mobile stations operating in the GSM850/900/1800/1900 bands.

In the receiver path the antenna input signal is converted to the baseband, filtered, and then

amplified to target level by the RF transceiver chip set. Two A-to-D converters generate two 6.5

Mbit/s data streams. The decimation and narrowband channel filtering is done by a digital

baseband filter in each path. The DSP performs:

1. The GMSK equalization of the received baseband signal (SAIC support available)

2. Viterbi channel decoding supported by an hardware accelerator.

The recovered digital speech data is fed into the speech decoder. The E-GOLDvoice supports

fullrate, halfrate, enhanced fullrate and adaptive multirate speech CODEC algorithms.

The generated voice signal passes through a digital voiceband filter. The resulting 4 Mbit/s data

stream is D-to-A converted by a multi-bit-oversampling converter, postfiltered, and then amplified

by a programmable gain stage.

The output buffer can drive a handset ear-piece or an external audio amplifier, an additional

output driver for external loud speaker is implemented.

In the transmit direction the differential microphone signal is fed into a programmable gain

amplifier. The prefiltered and A-to-D converted voice signal forms a 2 Mbit/s data stream. The

oversampled voice signal passes a digital decimation filter.

The E-GOLDvoice performs speech and channel encoding (including voice activity detection

(VAD) and discontinuous transmission (DTX)) and digital GMSK modulation.

In the RF transceiver part, the baseband signal modulates the RF carrier at the desired frequency

in the 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1.8 GHz, and 1.9 GHz bands using an I/Q modulator. The

E-GOLDvoice supports dual band applications.

Finally, an RF power module amplifies the RF transmit signal at the required power level. Using

software, the E-GOLDvoice controls the gain of the power amplifier by predefined ramping curves

(16 words, 11 bits).

For baseband operation, the E-GOLDvoice supports:

• Making or receiving a voice call

• Sending or receiving an SMS.

3.1.4 PMU Details

The E-GOLDvoice includes battery charger support (various sensor connections for temperature,

battery technology, voltage, etc.) and a ringer buffer.

E-GOLDvoice avoids the need for an external power management component because its

internal power management unit contains:

• Voltage regulators for the On-chip and Off-chip functional blocks

• Charger circuitry for NiCd, NiMh and LiIon cells.

3.1.5 Bus Concept

The E-GOLDvoice has two cores (a microcontroller and a DSP), each with its own bus.

There is an interconnection between the TEAKlite bus and the C166S X-Bus.

3.1.6 C166S Buses

The C166S is connected to three buses:

1. Local Memory (LM) bus

2. X-Bus

3. PD-Bus.

3.1.7 TEAKLite Bus

The TEAKlite is connected to the TEAKlite bus.

3.1.8 Bus Interconnections

The interconnection between the X-Bus and the TEAKlite Bus uses:

• Multicore Synchronization

• Shared Memory.

3.1.9 Clock Concept

The E-GOLDvoice has a flexible clock control.

3.1.10 Interrupt Concept

The C166 MCU carries out the E-GOLDvoice interrupt system.

3.1.11 Debug Concept

The E-GOLDvoice includes a multi-core debug. The C166 and TEAKlite cores can be debugged

in parallel with:

• A single JTAG port (that is, on a single host)

• Mutual breakpoint control.

3.1.12 C166 Debug Concept

The debugging of the C166 uses the OCDS and the Cerberus.

3.1.13 TEAKLite Debug Concept

TEAKlite debugging uses the OCEM and the SEIB.

3.1.14 Power Management

The E-GOLDvoice provides the power management unit (PMU) for the complete mobile phone

application. The integrated PMU is directly connected to the battery and provides a set of linear

voltage regulators (LDO’s). These LDO’s generate all required supply voltages and currents

needed in a low feature mobile phone.

A charger control circuit charges NiCd, NiMH and LiIon batteries. The charger control supports

hardware controlled pre-charging and software controlled charging. It offers a wide charger

voltage range, making halfwave/ full-wave charging with cheap transformers possible.

White/blue backlight generation is supported with a special driver for very a low external parts

count.

Power consumption during operation phases is minimized due to flexible clock switching

In the Standby Mode most parts of the device are switched off, only a small part is running at

32kHz and the controller RAM is switched to a power saving mode. The TEAKLite ROM can be

switched off during Standby via SW.

3.1.15 On-Chip Security Concept

Secure boot is based on a public/private key approach. Flash images that are not signed with the

private key during phone manufacture cannot be loaded. Verification of the Flash code is done

with the public key. The public key as well as hash and verify algorithms are stored in the ROM,

which ensures a hardware secured boot procedure.

The following security features are supported:

• Prevention of illegal Flash programming

• Flash programming makes use of the E-GOLDvoice ID for personalization checks with IMEI and

SIM-lock protection

The security features use the following mechanism:

• Boot ROM flow:

– Controls the boot transition to external flash

– Controls the flash update

• Flash tied to the individual chip via an ID using e-fuses, that is, each E-GOLDvoice chip has its

own fused ID.

Further details on the E-GOLDvoice security concept are not publicly documented.

3.1.16 Asynchronous Operation Mode Concept

The E-GOLDvoice can operate in either:

• The traditional synchronous mode with the 26 MHz system clock synchronized on the base

station

• A special asynchronous mode (XO concept).

In the asynchronous mode the 26 MHz clock input is not synchronized with the base station; the

residual frequency offset is compensated in the digital signal processing domain. This processing

includes frequency and timing compensation of the baseband and voiceband signals.

Power Amplifier Module(SKY77517/ SKY77518)

3.2.1 GB100/GB100b/GB105/GB105b/GB106/GB107/GB107b/GB109 (SKY77518)

Figure.3-2-1 SKY77518 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM

The SKY77518-21 is a transmit and receive front-end module (FEM) with Integrated Power Amplifier Control (iPAC) for dual-band cellular handsets comprising GSM900 and DCS1800 operation. Designed in a low profile, compact form factor, the SKY77518-21 offers a complete Transmit VCO-to- Antenna and Antenna-to-Receive SAW filter solution. The FEM also supports Class 12 General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) multi-slot operation. The module consists of a GSM900 PA block and a DCS1800 PA block, impedance-matching circuitry for 50 Ω input and output impedances, TX harmonics filtering, high linearity and low insertion loss PHEMT RF switches, diplexer and a Power Amplifier Control (PAC) block with internal current sense resistor. A custom BiCMOS integrated circuit provides the internal PAC function and decoder circuitry to control the RF switches. The two Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) PA blocks are fabricated onto a single Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) die. One PA block supports the GSM900 band and the other PA block supports the DCS1800 band. Both PA blocks share common power supply pads to distribute current. The output of each PA block and the outputs to the two receive pads are connected to the antenna pad through PHEMT RF switches and a diplexer. The GaAs die, PHEMT die, Silicon (Si) die and passive components are mounted on a multi-layer laminate substrate.

The assembly is encapsulated with plastic overmold. Band selection and control of transmit and receive modes are performed using two external control pads. Refer to the functional block diagram in Figure.3-2-1 below. The band select pad (BS) selects between GSM and DCS modes of operation. The transmit enable (TX_EN) pad controls receive or transmit mode of the respective RF switch (TX = logic 1). Proper timing between transmit enable (TX_EN) and Analog Power Control (VRAMP) allows for high isolation between the antenna and TXVCO while the VCO is being tuned prior to the transmit burst. The SKY77518-21 is compatible with logic levels from 1.2 V to VCC for BS and TX_EN pads, depending on the level applied to the VLOGIC pad. This feature provides additional flexibility for the designer in the selection of FEM interface control logic.

Band selection and control of transmit and receive modes are performed using two external control pads. Refer to the functional block diagram in Figure.3-2-2 below. The band select pad (BS) selects between GSM and PCS modes of operation. The transmit enable (TX_EN) pad controls receive or transmit mode of the respective RF switch (TX = logic 1). Proper timing between transmit enable (TX_EN) and Analog Power Control (VRAMP) allows for high isolation between the antenna and TX-VCO while the VCO is being tuned prior to the transmit burst. The SKY77517 is compatible with logic levels from 1.2 V to VCC for BS and TX_EN pads, depending on the level applied to the VLOGIC pad. This feature provides additional flexibility for the designer in the selection of FEM interface control logic.

26MHz Clock (DCXO)

Figure.3-3 Crystal Oscillator Functional Overview The XO_TUNE register holds the digital correction value for the crystal oscillator frequency. The XOMODE bits of XO_INIT1 register contain setup informations for the crystal oscillator (for example, current programming, etc.).See Figure .3-3 Crystal Oscillator Functional Overview. The registers XO_INIT2 and XO_INIT3 contain the coefficients information for the linearization unit of crystal oscillator (LUXO) This linearization unit computes the required digital control word out of the programmed AFC bits in order to have a linear pulling curve ppm vs. AFC word. The resulting digital control word DIG is filtered by a digital lowpass filter, which can be scaled or deactivated using the bits DIGFILT0 and DIGFILT1 of the XO_INIT3 register. The frequency correction splits into 2 parts:

1. The XOCAL bits in the XO_INIT1 register are used for the coarse frequency adjustment and are set once for a mobile lifetime (during production test)

2. The XO_TUNE register contains the information for frequency correction when the mobile is used (correction of temperature drift, crystal aging)
