3. TECHNICAL BRIEF

3.1 Digital Main Processor

Figure.3-1-1 MT6223 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM

20

3.1.1 System Overview

MT6223D is an entry level chipset solution with class 12 GPRS/GSM modem. It integrates not

only analog baseband but also power management blocks into one chip and can greatly reduce the

component count and make smaller PCB size. Besides, MT6223D is capable of SAIC (Single

Antenna Interference Cancellation) and AMR speech.

Based on 32 bit ARM7EJ-STM RISC processor, MT6223D provides an unprecedented

platform for high quality Modem performance.

Platform

MT6223D runs the ARM7EJ-STM RISC processor at up to 52Mhz, thus providing best trade-off

between system performance and power consumption.

For large amount of data transfer, high performance DMA (Direct Memory Access) with

hardware flow control is implemented, which greatly enhances the data movement speed while

reducing MCU processing load.

Targeted as a modem-centric platform for mobile applications, MT6223D also provides hardware

security digital rights management for copyright protection. For further safeguarding, and to protect

manufacturer’s development investment, hardware flash content protection is also provided to

prevent unauthorized porting of software load.

Memory

MT6223D supports up to 2 external state-of-the-art devices through its 16-bit host interface.

Devices such as burst/page mode Flash, page mode SRAM, and Pseudo SRAM are supported. To

minimize power consumption and ensure low noise, this interface is designed for flexible I/O

voltage and allows lowering of supply voltage down to 1.8V. The driving strength is configurable for

signal integrity adjustment. The data bus also employs retention technology to prevent the bus

from floating during turn over.

Multi-media

MT6223D utilize high resolution audio DAC, digital audio, and audio synthesis technology to

provide superior audio features., e.g. MP3 ring tone.

Connectivity, and Storage

MT6223D supports UART as well as Bluetooth interface. Also, necessary peripheral blocks are

embedded for a voice centric phone: Keypad Scanner with the capability to detect multiple key

presses, SIM Controller, Alerter, Real Time Clock, PWM, Serial LCD Controller, and General

Purpose Programmable I/Os.

Audio

Using a highly integrated mixed-signal Audio Front-End, architecture of MT6223D allows for

easy audio interfacing with direct connection to the audio transducers. The audio interface

integrates D/A and A/D Converters for Voice band, as well as high resolution Stereo D/A

Converters for Audio band. In addition, MT6223D also provides Stereo Input and

Analog Mux. MT6223D also supports AMR codec to adaptively optimize speech and audio quality.

21

Radio

MT6223D integrates a mixed-signal Baseband front-end in order to provide a well-organized

radio interface with flexibility for efficient customization. It contains gain and offset calibration

mechanisms, and filters with programmable coefficients for comprehensive compatibility control on

RF modules. This approach also allows the usage of a high resolution D/A Converter for controlling

VCXO or crystal, thus reducing the need for expensive TCVCXO. MT6223D achieve great

MODEM performance by utilizing 14-bit high resolution A/D Converter in the RF downlink

path. Furthermore, to reduce the need for extra external current-driving component, the driving

strength of some BPI outputs is designed to be configurable.

Debug Function

The JTAG interface enables in-circuit debugging of software program with the ARM7EJ-S core.

With this standardized debugging interface, MT6223D provides developers with a wide set of

options in choosing ARM development kits from different third party vendors. Low Power Features

MT6223D offers various low-power features to help reduce system power consumption. These

features include Pause Mode of 32KHz clocking at Standby State, Power Down Mode for individual

peripherals, and Processor Sleep Mode. In addition, MT6223D are also fabricated in advanced low

leakage CMOS process, hence providing an overall ultra low leakage solution.

Power Management

MT6223D integrates all regulators that a voice-centric phone needs. Seven LDOs optimized for

Specific GSM/GPRS baseband sub-systems are included, and a RF transceiver needed LDO is

also built-in. Besides Li-Ion battery charge function, SIM card level shifter interface, two open-drain

output switches to control the LED and vibrator are equipped. Other power management schemes

such as thermal overload protection, Under Voltage Lock-out Protection (UVLO), over voltage

protection and oower-on reset and start-up timer are also MT6223D features. Besides, 3 NMOS

switches controlling the RGB LEDs are also embedded to reduce BOM coount.

Package

The MT6223D device is offered in 9mm×9mm, 224-ball,

0.5 mm pitch, TFBGA package.

3.1.5 General Description

Figure3-1-2 details the block diagram of MT6223D. on a dual-processor architecture,

MT6223D integrates both an ARM7EJ-S core and 2 digital signal processor cores. ARM7EJ-S is

the main processor that is responsible for running 2G and 2.5G protocol software. Digital signal

processors handle the MODEM algorithms as well as advanced audio functions.

Except for some mixed-signal circuitries, the other building blocks in MT6223D are connected to

either the microcontroller or one of the digital signal processors.

Specifically, MT6223D consist of the following subsystems:

 Microcontroller Unit (MCU) Subsystem - includes an ARM7EJ-S RISC processor and

its accompanying memory management and interrupt handling logics.

 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Subsystem - includes 2 DSP cores and their

accompanying memory, memory controller, and interrupt controller.

 MCU/DSP Interface - where the MCU and the DSPs exchange hardware and

software information.

 Microcontroller Peripherals - includes all user interface modules and RF control

interface modules.

 Microcontroller Coprocessors - runs computing-intensive processes in place of

Microcontroller.

 DSP Peripherals - hardware accelerators for GSM/GPRS/EGDE channel codec.
 Voice Front End - the data path for converting analog speech from and to digital

speech.

 Audio Front End - the data path for converting stereo audio from stereo audio source
 Baseband Front End - the data path for converting digital signal from and to analog

signal of RF modules.

 Timing Generator - generates the control signals related to the TDMA frame timing.

3.2 Power Amplifier Module (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.

3.3 Transceiver Module (AD6548)

Figure.3-3-1 AD6548 FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM

3.3.1 General Descriptions

The AD6548/9 provides a highly integrated direct conversion radio solution that combines, on a

single chip, all radio and power management functions necessary to build the most compact GSM

radio solution possible. The only external components required for a complete radio design are the

Rx SAWs, PA, Switchplexer and a few passives enabling an extremely small

cost effective GSM Radio solution.

The AD6548/9 uses the industry proven direct conversion receiver architecture of the OthelloTM

family. For Quad band applications the front end features four fully integrated programmable gain

differential LNAs. The RF is then downconverted by quadrature mixers and then fed to the

baseband programmable-gain amplifiers and active filters for channel selection. The Receiver

output pins can be directly connected to the baseband analog processor. The Receive path

features automatic calibration and tracking to remove DC offsets.

The transmitter features a translation-loop architecture for directly modulating baseband signals

onto the integrated TX VCO. The translation-loop modulator and TX VCO are extremely low noise

removing the need for external SAW filters prior to the PA.

The AD6548/9 uses a single integrated LO VCO for both the receive and the transmit circuits.

The synthesizer lock times are optimized for GPRS applications up to and including class 12.

29

To dramatically reduce the BOM both TX Translational loop and main PLL Loop Filters are fully

integrated into the device.

AD6548 incorporates a complete reference crystal calibration system. This allows the external

VCTCXO to be replaced with a low cost crystal. No other external components are required. The

AD6549 uses the traditional VCTCXO reference source.

The AD6548/9 also contains on-chip low dropout voltage regulators (LDOs) to deliver regulated

supply voltages to the functions on chip, with a battery input voltage of between 2.9V and 5.5V.

Comprehensive power down options are included to minimize power consumption in normal use.

A standard 3 wire serial interface is used to program the IC. The interface features low-voltage

digital interface buffers compatible with logic levels from 1.6V to 3.0V.

The AD6548/9 is packaged in a 5mm × 5mm , 32-lead LFCSP package.
