More detailed descriptions of each sub-block are explained in the following sections.
3.2.1 Power-On/Off Sequence
PMIC handles the powe-on and -off of the handset. If the battery voltage is neither in the UVLO state
(VBAT ≥ 3.4V) nor in the thermal condition, there are three methods to power on the handset system:
1) Pulling PWRKEY low (the user pushes PWRKEY), 2) Pulling PWRBB high (baseband BB_WakeUp)
and 3) Valid charger plug-in.
According to different battery voltage (VBAT) and phone state, control signals and regulators will have
different responses.
Power on/off sequence
The power-on/off sequence controlled by the “control” and “reset generator” is shown in the figure
below.

This document contains information that is proprietary to MediaTek Inc.
Note that the figure above only shows one power-on/off. MT6329 handles the powe-on and -off of the
handset. The following three different ways methods switch on the handset (when VBAT ≥ 3.4V):
1. Pushing PWRKEY (pulling the PWRKEY pin to low level)
Pulling PWRKEY low is typical method to turn on the handset. The VCORE and VPROC buck
converters will be turned on first then VIO18 and VIO28 LDOs are turned on sequentially. The
supplies for the baseband are ready, and the system reset ends at the moment when all the
default-on regulators are fully turned on to ensure correct timing and function. After that, the
baseband sends the PWRBB signal back to PMIC for acknowledgement. To successfully power
on the handset, PWRKEY should be kept low until PMIC receives PWRBB from the baseband.
2. RTC module generates PWRBB to wake up the system
If the RTC module is scheduled to wake up the handset at some time, the PWRBB signal will be
directly sent to PMIC. In this case, PWRBB becomes high at specific moment and allows PMIC
power-on as the sequence described above. This is called the RTC alarm.
3. Valid charger plug-in (CHRIN voltage within valid range)
The charger plug-in will also turn on the handset if the charger is valid (no OVP takes place).
However, if the battery voltage is too low to power on the handset (UVLO state), the system will
not be turned on by any of the three methods. In this case, the charger will charge the battery first,
and the handset will be powered on automatically as long as the battery voltage is high enough.
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO)
The UVLO state in PMIC prevents start-up if the initial voltage of the main battery is below the 3.2V
threshold. It ensures that the handset is powered on with the battery in good condition. The UVLO
function is performed by a hysteretic comparator which ensures smooth power-on sequence. In
addition, when the battery voltage is getting lower, it will enter the UVLO stat,e and PMIC will be
turned off by itself, except for VRTC LDO, to prevent further discharging. Once PMIC enters the
UVLO state, it will draw low quiescent current. RTC LDO will still be working until DDLO disables it.
Deep discharge lockout (DDLO)
PMIC will enter the deep discharge lockout (DDLO) state when the battery voltage drops below 2.5V.
In this state, VRTC LDO will be shut down. Otherwise, it will draw very low quiescent current to
prevent further discharging or even damage to the cells.
Reset
PMIC contains a reset control circuit which takes effect at both power-up and power-down. The
RESETB pin is held low in the beginning of power-up and returns to high after the pre-determined
MEDIATEK CONFIDENTIAL
delay time. The delay time is controlled by a large counter, which uses the clock from the internal ringoscillator. At power-off, the RESETB pin will return to low immediately without any delay.
Over-temperature protection

This document contains information that is proprietary to MediaTek Inc.
Unauthorized reproduction or disclosure of this information in whole or in part is strictly prohibited.
If the die temperature of PMIC exceeds 150°C, PMIC will automatically disable all LDOs except for
VRTC. Once the over-temperature state is resolved, a new power-on sequence will be required to
enable the LDOs.
3.2.2 The Battery Charger (Charger Controller)
The charger controller senses the charger input voltage from either a standard AC-DC adaptor or an
USB charger. When the charger input voltage is within a pre-determined range, the charging process
will be activated. This detector resists higher input voltages than other parts of PMIC.
3.2.2.1 Block Descriptions
3.2.2.1.1 Charger Detection
Whenever an invalid charging source is detected (> 7.0V), the charger detector will stop the charging
process immediately to avoid burning out the chip or even the phone. Furthermore, if the charger-in

level is not high enough (< 4.3V), the charger will also be disabled to avoid improper charging
behavior.
3.2.2.1.2 Charging Control
When the charger is active, the charger controller will manage the charging phase according to the
battery status. During the charging period, the battery voltage is constantly monitored. The battery
charger supports pre-charge mode (VBAT < 3.2V, PMIC power-off state), CC mode (constant current
mode or fast charging mode at the range of 3.2V < VBAT < 4.2V) and CV mode (constant voltage
mode) to optimize the charging procedure for Li-ion battery. See the figure below for the charging
states diagram.

MEDIATEK CONFIDENTIAL
This document contains information that is proprietary to MediaTek Inc.
Unauthorized reproduction or disclosure of this information in whole or in part is strictly prohibited.
When the battery voltage is in the UVLO state, the charger will operate in the pre-charge mode. There
are two steps in this mode. While the battery voltage is deeply discharged below 2.2V, PRECC0
trickle charging current is applied to the battery.
MEDIATEK CONFIDENTIAL
The PRECC1 trickle charging current is about 56mA continuous current when VBAT is under 2.2V.
FOR zlixin@ waterworld.com.cn USE ONLY
This document contains information that is proprietary to MediaTek Inc.
Unauthorized reproduction or disclosure of this information in whole or in part is strictly prohibited.
When the battery voltage exceeds 2.2V, i.e. the PRECC2 stage, the closed-loop pre-charge will be
enabled. The voltage drop across the external RSENSE is kept around 40mV (AC charger) or 14mV
(USB host). The closed-loop pre-charge current can be calculated:
Constant current mode
As the battery is charged up and over 3.3V, it can switch to the CC mode. (CHR_EN should be high)
In the CC mode, several charging currents can be set by programming registers or the external
RSENSE resistor. The charging current can be determined by CS_VTH/RSENSE, where CS_VTH is
programmed by registers. For example, if RSENSE is selected as 0.2ohm, the CC mode charging
current can be set from 70 to 800mA. It can accommodate the battery charger to various charger
inputs with different current capability.
Constant-voltage mode and over-voltage protection (OV)
While the battery voltage reaches about 4.2V, a constant current with much shorter period is used for
charging. It allows more often full battery detection in non-charging period. This is called the fullvoltage charging mode or constant-voltage charging mode in correspondence to a linear charger.
While the battery voltage actually reaches 4.2V, more than the pre-setting times within the limited
charging cycles, the end-of-charging process starts. It may prolong the charging and detecting period
for acquiring optimized full charging volume. The end of charging process is fully controlled by the
baseband and can be easily optimized for different battery packs. Once the battery voltage exceeds
4.35V, a hardware OV protection should be activated and turn off the charger immediately.
3.2.2.1.3 BC1.1 Dead-Battery Support of China Standard
MT6255 also support dead-battery condition from China standard (BC1.1). These specifications
protect dead-battery charging by timer and trickle current. Once the battery voltage is below 2.2V, a
period (TUNIT) of trickle current (IUNIT) will be applied to the battery.
If the battery voltage is still below 2.2V after applying the trickle current, the charger will be disabled.
On the other hand, once if the battery voltage rises up to above 2.2V, the charger will enter the
PRECC1 stage, and the charging current will be 70mA or 200mA depending on the type of the
charging port.
Under the condition of battery voltage from 2.2V to 3.3V, the charger will charge the battery with the
PRECC1 current.
A dedicated 5 mins. (T1) timer will be timed out and disable the charger if the battery voltage is always
below 2.7V under charging. Another 35 mins. (T2) timer will also be timed out and disable the charger
if the battery voltage is always kept between 2.7V and 3.3V under charging.

The trickle current (IUNIT) and two dedicated timers protect the charging action if the battery is dead.
3.2.3 Buck Converter
There are 5 buck converters in MT6329 to efficiently generate regulated power for processor, digital
core, 3G power amplifier, memory IO and RF circuit. The block diagram is shown in Figure 10. The
buck converters operate with typically 2 MHz fixed frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) mode at
moderate to heavy load currents. At light load currents, the converter automatically enters pulse
frequency modulation (PFM) mode to save power and improve light load efficiency. It also has a forcePWM mode option to allow the converter to remain in the PWM mode regardless of the load current,
so that the noise spectrum of the converter can be minimized for certain highly-noise-sensitive
handset applications. The buck converters also have an internal over-current protection (OCP) circuit
to limit the maximum high-side power FET current in over-load conditions. It has an internal soft start
circuit to control the ramp-up rate of the output voltage during start-up.

MT6329 integrates 21 LDOs optimized for their given functions by balancing quiescent current,
dropout voltage, line/load regulation, ripple rejection and output noise.
A low-dropout regulator (LDO) is capable of maintaining its specified output voltage over a wide range
of load current and input voltage, down to a very small difference between input and output voltages.
There are several features in the design of LDO, including discharge control, soft start and current
limit. Before LDO is enabled, the output pin of LDO should be discharged first to avoid voltage
accumulation on the capacitance. Soft-start limits inrush current and controls output-voltage rise time
during power-up. Current limit is the current protection to limit LDO’s output current and power
dissipation.
There are three types of LDOs in the MT6329 PMIC. The analog LDO is optimized for low-frequency
ripple rejection in order to reject the ripple coming from the burst of RF power amplifier. The digital IO
LDO is a linear regulator optimized for very low quiescent current. The single-step RTC LDO is a
linear regulator that can charge up a capacitor-type backup coin cell, which also supplies the RTC
module even at the absence of the main battery. The single-step LDO features the reverse current
protection and is optimized for ultra-low quiescent current while sustaining the RTC function as long
as possible.

voltage can be set by the VCORE_SEL pin while BB is alive. The setting is retained while BB is
powered down. When the backup battery is fully charged, the high backup battery voltage, low
reverse current leakage and the low second LDO operating current sustain the RTC block for
even tens of hours with the absence of the main battery.
22. Reference voltage output (VREF)
The reference voltage output is a low-noise, high-PSRR and high-precision reference with a
guaranteed accuracy of 1.5% over temperature. The output is used as the system’s reference for
MT6329 internally. For accurate regulator and charger output voltage, DO NOT load the reference
voltage. Bypass it to GND with a minimum 100nF external capacitor.
3.2.6 Drivers
MT6329 supports backlight LED drivers both in parallel and in series configurations by pin sharing
ISINK and boost controller circuits. Besides, it provides the drivers for keypad LED and Flash light
LED. The following two figures depict two major applications for backlight LEDs and other drivers.

controlled by the current sinks in MT6329. The brightness of the B.L. LEDs can be controlled by
tuning the current for current sinks or switching on/off the current sinks through dimming control. The
dimming frequency and duty can be programmed by registers through the I2C interface. For more
details, refer to the “Dimming Control” section.
For series configuration, MT6329 internal boost controller supports 20mA for up to 10 LEDs in series.
External ballast resistor is necessary and serially connected between the LED string and ground. The
voltage across the external ballast resistor is used to feedback the BL LED current information to the
boost controller of MT6329. The BL LED current is regulated by the negative feedback loop formed in
the boost controller. In addition, the brightness of the B.L. LEDs can be controlled by changing the
external ballast resistors, tuning the feedback voltage (analog dimming) or switching on/off the boost
controller through dimming control (digital dimming). The analog/digital dimming selection, dimming
frequency and duty can be programmed by registers through the I2C interface. For more details on
digital dimming, refer to the “Dimming Control” section.
3.2.6.2 Flash Light LED Driver
The flash light LED driver is a low Ron switch which allows up to 500mA current. The brightness of the
flash light LED can be controlled by changing the external series ballast resistor.
3.2.6.3 Keypad LED Driver
The keypad LED driver is a low Ron switch which allows up to 150mA current. The brightness of the
keypad LED can be controlled by changing the external series ballast resistor.

The intensity of the backlight WLED, flash light LED, keypad LED and vibrator can be adjusted by
dimming control. Although they can be controlled separately, the concepts are the same. It can be
controlled by programming some internal registers to change the on/offF pulse duty cycle and
frequency.
3.2.6.4.1 Pulse Duty Cycle
For all drivers, the output duty cycle is adjusted by selecting the corresponding driver’s PWM_DUTY
value according to the following relationship:
The features of each driver are listed in the table below. All drivers can be enabled, and their duty and
frequency can be adjusted. For FLASH and BL, the fixed divisor, 25, can be bypassed.
3.2.7 Analog Switch
MT6239 has a built-in 2-to-1 analog switch with less than 3 ohm turn-on resistance supporting both
microphone input and video line-out operation. THD is up to 70dB for microphone and good PSRR
which is around 75dB across the voice band. The low turn-on resistance ensures linearity of the video
playback.
3.2.8 Class-AB/D Audio Amplifier
MT6329 has built-in dual channel high efficiency class AB/D audio power amplifier capable of
delivering 1 watt of power to an 8 ohm (each channel, stereo) BTL load and up to 2 watts onto parallel
equivalent 4-ohm load (mono in two channels) from a 4.2V battery supply. The THD performance is
74/76dB for class-D/AB mode respectively. The input must be AC-coupled. Over-current protection is
integrated. MT6329 also has built-in receiver bypass function for 2-in-1 loudspeaker. This built–in
receiver bypass supports multi-purpose loudspeaker without any extra BOM cost. The output power
can reach 97mW onto 8 ohm speaker load. The block diagram is shown in Error! Reference source not found..

The fuel gauging system includes a dedicated ADC for Li-Ion battery current measurement and
utilizes the measurement ADC (AUXADC) for battery voltage and temperature measurement. The
battery state-of-charge (SOC) estimation is performed by the software using the three measuring
methods and the accumulated current measurement. The application diagram of the fuel gauging
system is shown in the figure below, where an external resistor is used to converter the current drawn
from the battery into a voltage which is then measured by FG ADC. The value of the external resistor
must be chosen so that the maximum current during charging or discharging will not cause ADC to
exceed its input voltage range.
The principle of operation of the fuel gauge relies on a combination of Coulomb counting and light
load battery voltage measurement. Coulomb counting provides an estimate of the charge that has
been withdrawn or delivered to the battery, while battery voltage measurement proves a good
estimate of the battery SOC under low-load conditions. The battery voltage measurement
compensates for error accumulation during the current integration inherent in Coulomb counting. The
hardware also includes necessary modes to allow for simultaneous current and voltage measurement
which can be utilized to estimate the battery impedance.

3.2.9.1 Over-Current and Interrupt
There are 7 groups of interrupts for MT6329 to inform BB IC:
1. Key pressed and released interrupt
PWRKEY: Interrupt is issued when PWRKEY is pressed (and released, set by the register).
After receiving the interrupt, the software will read the PWRKEY_DEB status to see if it is
pressed or released.
HOMEKEY: Interrupt is issued when HOMEKEY is pressed (and released, set by the register).
After receiving the interrupt, the software will read the HOMEKEY_DEB status to see if it is
pressed or released.
2. Thermal interrupt
MT6329 issues THR_H interrupt for the software high power latch if PMIC die temperature is over
125c and issues THR_L for software latch release if PMIC die temperature goes from 125c back
to under 110c.

3.2.9.2 Watchdog
Watchdog is used to monitor whether the baseband is still awake while charging. The user can set up
the time-out threshold by TIMEOUT_GEAR. They are 4s, 8s, 16s, and 32s respectively. The figure
below is the state diagram of watchdog. Watchdog timer starts to count when the charger enabling
register is set. If the software does not write the specific register within designated time, the watchdog
will time out and issue interrupts. It means that the watchdog is also one type of interrupt source in
addition to those described in 4.3.10.1. The software can select a proper time-out value by setting up
the time-out gear register. Like most of the interrupt mechanism mentioned above, the watchdog
interrupt is write-clear.
PMIC can start to charge only when the charger is detected, charger enabling register is set, and
watchdog is not timed-out. If one of the three conditions is false, the charging will be prohibited.

3.2.10 I2C Interface
PMIC uses a 2-wire interface consisting of a clock and data signals (SCL and SDA) to connect to BB.
This bi-directional serial bus interface allows BB to write commands to and read status from PMIC.
The SCL signal is driven by the master, whereas the SDA signal is bidirectional and can be driven by
either the master or slave.
3.2.10.1 Write Sequence
I2C write cycle:
“S” is the start bit as defined in I2C spec. “Device” is the device ID, and our device ID is “1100000”.
R/W is read/write flag of the following byte. 1 means read, and 0 means write. “A” is the
acknowledgement bit. “P” is the stop bit. The number below the blue bar is the bit order. The device
has 7 bits from 7 to 1, and bit 0 is R/W. The “Address” and “Data” both have 8 bits. After the write
sequence, the data in “Data” will be written to address “Address”.

The write sequence has 3 byte of data, but the read sequence has 4 bytes. In the read sequence, the
device and R/W are sent twice, and R/W is 0 (write) at the first time and 1 (read) at the second time.
There are also two start bits. The second start bit means the device will be sent again, and the
read/write mode can be switched. The address is sent from the host, and the data will be given from
the device.

SCL and SDA can be pulled high optionally by I2C_PULL_HIGH_B. If the master in baseband forces
to send 1 through SCL and SDA to slave, the slave can set I2C_PULL_HIGH_B to 1 (not pull high
internally) to save power. If the master only pulls SCL and SDA high internally, I2C_PULL_HIGH_B
must be set to 0 to meet the I2C protocol.
