1.2 Regulatory Information
A. Security
Toll fraud, the unauthorized use of telecommunications system by an unauthorized part (for example, persons
other than your company’s employees, agents, subcontractors, or person working on your company’s behalf)
can result in substantial additional charges for your telecommunications services. System users are responsible
for the security of own system. There are may be risks of toll fraud associated with your telecommunications
system. System users are responsible for programming and configuring the equipment to prevent unauthorized
use. The manufacturer does not warrant that this product is immune from the above case but will prevent
unauthorized use of common-carrier telecommunication service of facilities accessed through or connected to
it.
The manufacturer will not be responsible for any charges that result from such unauthorized use.
B. Incidence of Harm
If a telephone company determines that the equipment provided to customer is faulty and possibly causing
harm or interruption in service to the telephone network, it should disconnect telephone service until repair can
be done. A telephone company may temporarily disconnect service as long as repair is not done.
C. Changes in Service
A local telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities or procedure. If these changes
could reasonably be expected to affect the use of the this phone or compatibility with the network, the
telephone company is required to give advanced written notice to the user, allowing the user to take
appropriate steps to maintain telephone service.
D. Maintenance Limitations
Maintenance limitations on this model must be performed only by the manufacturer or its authorized agent.
The user may not make any changes and/or repairs expect as specifically noted in this manual. Therefore, note
that unauthorized alternations or repair may affect the regulatory status of the system and may void any
remaining warranty.
This model complies with rules regarding radiation and radio frequency emission as defined by local regulatory
agencies. In accordance with these agencies, you may be required to provide information such as the following to
the end user.
F. Pictures
The pictures in this manual are for illustrative purposes only; your actual hardware may look slightly different.
G. Interference and Attenuation
Phone may interfere with sensitive laboratory equipment, medical equipment, etc.Interference from unsuppressed
engines or electric motors may cause problems.
H. Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
ATTENTION
Boards, which contain Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD), are indicated
by the sign. Following information is ESD handling:
• Service personnel should ground themselves by using a wrist strap when exchange system
boards.
• When repairs are made to a system board, they should spread the floor with anti-static mat
which is also grounded.
• Use a suitable, grounded soldering iron.
• Keep sensitive parts in these protective packages until these are used.
• When returning system boards or parts like EEPROM to the factory, use the protective

3.1 SKY77518 TX–RX iPAC™ FEM for Dual-Band GSM/GPRS
(SKY77518, U500)
The SKY77518 is a transmit and receive front-end module (FEM) with Integrated PowerAmplifier Control
(iPAC™) for dual-band cellular handsets comprising GSM900 and DCS1800 operation. Designed in a low
profile, compact form factor, the SKY77518 offers a complete Transmit VCO-to-Antenna and Antenna-toReceive 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 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 TX-VCO while the VCO is being tuned prior to the transmit burst. The SKY77518 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.
The AD6548 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 com-pact 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 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 down converted by quad-rature 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 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.
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 AD6548 uses the
traditional VCTCXO reference source. The AD6548 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 2.9V.
The 26 MHz clock (X401) consists of a XO (Crystal Oscillator) which oscillates at a frequency of 26 MHz. The
AD6548 requires only an external low cost crystal as the frequency reference. The circuitry to oscillate the
crystal and tune its frequency is fully integrated. The Oscillator is a balanced implementation requiring the
crystal to be connected across 2 pins. There is a programmable capacitor array included for coarse tuning of
fixed offsets (e.g. crystal manufacturing tolerance), and an integrated varactor for dynamic control. The
oscillator is designed for use with a 26MHz crystal. Dedicated control software ensures excellent frequency
stability under all circumstances.

including enhanced data rates (EDR) to 3Mbits/s. It includes an integrated FM receiver with
stereo audio output stage and an RDS demodulator.
