MT6227 GSM/GP RS Baseband Processor Technical Bri ef Re vision 1.00
1. System Overview
The revolutionary MT6227 is a lead ing edge single-chip
solution for GSM/GPRS mobile phones targeting the
emerging applications in digital audio and video. Based on
32-bit ARM7EJ-STM RISC processor, MT6227 not only
features high performance GPRS Class 12 MODEM, but
also provides comprehensive and advanced solutions for
handheld multi-media.
Typical application is shown in Figure 1.
Multi-media Subsystem
The MT6227 mu lti-media subsystem provides connection
to CMOS/CCD image sensor and supports resolution up to
2M pixels. With its advanced image signal and data
processing technology, MT6227 allows efficient
processing of image and video data. It also has built-in
JPEG CODEC and MPEG-4/H.263 CODEC, thus enabling
real-time creation and playback of h igh-quality images and
video. In addition to advanced image and video features,
MT6227 also utilizes high resolution DAC, digital audio,
and audio synthesis technology to provide superior audio
features for all future multi-media needs.
In order to provide more flexibility and bandwidth for
multi-media products, an additional 18-bit parallel
interface is incorporated. This interface enables connection
to LCD modules as well as connection to NAND flash
devices to allow fo r multi-media data storage capabilities.
User Interface
To provide complete user interface, MT6227 brings
together all the necessary peripheral blocks for
multi-media GSM/GPRS phone. The peripheral blocks
consists of the 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. For connectivity and data
storage, the MT6227 supports UART, IrDA, USB 1.1
Slave and MMC/SD/MS/MS Pro. Furthermore, for la rge
amount of data transfer, high performance DMA (Direct
Memory Access) and hardware flow control are
implemented, which greatly enhances the performance and
reduces MCU processing load.
Audio Interface
Using a highly integrated mixed-signal Audio Front-End,
the MT6227 architecture allo ws 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, MT6227 also provides Stereo
Input and Analog Mux.
MT6227 supports AMR codec to adaptively optimize
speech and audio quality. Moreover, aacPlus codec is
implemented to deliver CD-quality audio at low bit rates.
External Me mory Interface
Providing the greatest capacity for expansion, MT6227
supports up to 8 state-of-the-art devices through its 16-b it
host interface. Devices such as burst/page mode Flash,
page mode SRAM, Pseudo SRAM, Color/Parallel LCD,
and multi-media co mpanion chip are all supported through
this interface. 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.

Overall, MT6227’s audio features provide a rich platform
for mu lti-media applications.
Radio Interface
MT6227 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. MT6227 achieves great MODEM
performance by utilizing 14-bit high resolution A/D
Converter in the RF downlink path. Fu rthermore, to reduce
the need for extra exte rnal current-driv ing 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 ARM 7EJ-S core. With this
standardized debugging interface, the MT6227 provides
developers with a wide set of options in choosing ARM
development kits from different third party vendors.
Power Management
The MT6227 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, MT6227 is also fabricated in
advanced low leakage CMOS process, hence providing an
overall u ltra low leakage solution.
Package
The MT6227 device is offered in a 13mm×13mm, 296-ball,
