VI. Patent And Software Provisions
MOTOROLA will defend, at its own expense, any suit brought against the end user purchaser to the
extent that it is based on a claim that the Product or parts infringe a United States patent, and
MOTOROLA will pay those costs and damages finally awarded against the end user purchaser in
any such suit which are attributable to any such claim, but such defense and payments are
conditioned on the following:
A. that MOTOROLA will be notified promptly in writing by such purchaser of any notice of such
claim;
B. that MOTOROLA will have sole control of the defense of such suit and all negotiations for its
settlement or compromise; and
C. should the Product or parts become, or in MOTOROLA’s opinion be likely to become, the
subject of a claim of infringement of a United States patent, that such purchaser will permit
MOTOROLA, at its option and expense, either to procure for such purchaser the right to
continue using the Product or parts or to replace or modify the same so that it becomes
noninfringing or to grant such purchaser a credit for the Product or parts as depreciated and
accept its return. The depreciation will be an equal amount per year over the lifetime of the
Product or parts as established by MOTOROLA.

upon the combination of the Product or parts furnished hereunder with software, apparatus or
devices not furnished by MOTOROLA, nor will MOTOROLA have any liability for the use of ancillary
equipment or software not furnished by MOTOROLA which is attached to or used in connection with
the Product. The foregoing states the entire liability of MOTOROLA with respect to infringement of
patents by the Product or any parts thereof.

copyrighted MOTOROLA software such as the exclusive rights to reproduce in copies and distribute
copies of such Motorola software. MOTOROLA software may be used in only the Product in which
the software was originally embodied and such software in such Product may not be replaced,
copied, distributed, modified in any way, or used to produce any derivative thereof. No other use
including, without limitation, alteration, modification, reproduction, distribution, or reverse
engineering of such MOTOROLA software or exercise of rights in such MOTOROLA software is

Chapter 1Introduction
1.1General
This manual includes all the information needed to maintain peak product performance and
maximum working time for the ASTRO XTS 5000 radio. This detailed level of service (component
level) is typical of the service performed by some service centers, self-maintained customers, and
distributors.
Use this manual in conjunction with the ASTRO XTS 5000 VHF/UHF Range 1/700–800 MHz Digital Portable Radios Basic Service Manual (Motorola part number 6881094C28), which can help in
troubleshooting a problem to a particular printed circuit (PC) board.
Conduct the basic performance checks outlined in the basic service manual first to verify the need to
analyze the radio and to help pinpoint the functional problem area. In addition, you will become
familiar with the radio test mode of operation, which is a helpful tool. If any basic receive or transmit
parameters fail to be met, the radio should be aligned according to the radio alignment procedure.
Included in other areas of this manual are functional block diagrams, detailed theory of operation,
troubleshooting charts and waveforms, schematics, and parts lists. You should become familiar with
these sections to aid in determining circuit problems. Also included are component location diagrams
to aid in locating individual circuit components and some IC diagrams, which identify some
convenient probe points.
“Chapter 3, Theory of Operation,” on page 3-1, contains detailed descriptions of the operations of
many circuits. Once you locate the problem area, review the troubleshooting flowchart for that circuit

Chapter 2Radio Power
This chapter provides a detailed circuit description of the power distribution of an ASTRO XTS 5000
radio.
2.1General
In the ASTRO XTS 5000 radio, power (B+) is distributed to two boards: the transceiver (RF) board
and the VOCON board (see Figure 2-1 on page 2-2 for UHF Range 1 (R1) and 700–800 MHz, and
Figure 2-2 on page 2-2 for VHF). In the case of a secure model radio, B+ is also supplied to the
encryption module.
Power for the radio is provided through a battery supplying a nominal 7.5 Vdc directly to the
transceiver. The following battery types and capacities are available:

B+ from the battery is electrically switched to most of the radio, rather than routed through the On/
Off/volume control knob, S1. The electrical switching of B+ supports a keep-alive mode. Under
software control, even when the On/Off/volume control knob has been turned to the Off position,
power remains on until the MCU completes its power-down, at which time the radio is physically
powered down.

2.2DC Power Routing—Transceiver Board
NOTE: Refer to Table 8-1, “List of Transceiver Schematics and Board Overlays,” on page 8-1 for a
listing of schematics showing the transceiver board DC power routing components.
Connector J1, the B-plus assembly, connects the battery to the transceiver board. Capacitors C1,
C2, and C3 provide protection against momentary breaks at the B-plus connector due to contact
bounce when the radio is dropped.
UHF R1 and 700–800 MHz: Components C5, E4, C7, and E1 form a power-line filter for signal
RAWB+, which supplies battery voltage to the transmitter PA.
UHF R2 and VHF: Component E1 forms a power-line filter for signal RAWB+, which supplies battery
voltage to the transmitter PA.
Transistor Q1, controlled by signal SWB+ (SB+ for VHF) from the VOCON board, turns on XB+,
which supplies to the 5-V linear regulator and TX_ALC block.
Fuse F901 and filter C11, L1, C10 (C14, L1, C13 for VHF) supply fused B-plus to the VOCON board.
In turn, the VOCON board supplies VSW1, regulated 3.8 Vdc, from the Global Control Audio and
Power (GCAP) switching regulator to the XCVR. Switch Q99 (Q503 for VHF), controlled by SWB+,
turns on V38 to the XCVR 3-V linear regulators. The XCVR regulated power supplies are
summarized in Table 2-3.

2.3DC Power Routing—VOCON Board
NOTE: Refer to Table 8-2, “List of VOCON Schematics and Board Overlays,” on page 8-1 for a listing
of schematics showing the VOCON board DC power routing components.
Raw B+, or unswitched B+, (UNSW_B+) is routed to connector P1 on the transceiver board, and
then on to P201 on the VOCON board. Here the UNSW B+ is forwarded to the radio’s control top
On/Off/volume knob through connector J101 and a flex circuit, as well as to regulator U505 (VCC5).
The On/Off/volume knob controls B+SENSE to Q502, which in turn controls Q501. Transistor Q501
is a solid-state power switch that provides SW B+ to the VOCON board, the audio PA, the GCAP II
IC (via GCAP_B+), and back to the transceiver board.
In the case of a secure radio model, SW B+ and UNSW B+ are also supplied to the encryption
module through connector J701.
6881094C31-DJuly 21, 2004
Page 38
2-4Radio Power: DC Power Routing—VOCON Board
Transistor Q501 is also under the control of the microcontroller unit (MCU) via Vref from U501. This
allows the MCU to follow an orderly power-down sequence when it senses that B+SENSE is off. This
sense is provided through MECH_SW_BAR (inverted B+SENSE, see Q508).
The digital circuits in the VOCON board are powered from regulators located in the GCAP II IC
(U501), an external 5 Vdc regulator (VCC5, U505), and an external 1.55 Vdc regulator (VSW_1.55V,
on NNTN4717 VOCON kit only). The GCAP II IC provides three supplies: VSW1, VSW2, and V2.
These regulators are software programmable. Table 2-4 lists the supply voltages and the circuits that
use these voltages.

This chapter provides a detailed circuit description of the ASTRO XTS 5000 transceiver and VOCON
boards. When reading the theory of operation, refer to the appropriate schematic and component
location diagrams located in the back of this manual. This detailed theory of operation can help
isolate the problem to a particular component.
The ASTRO XTS 5000 radio is a dual-mode (digital/analog), microcontroller-based transceiver
incorporating a digital signal processor (DSP). The microcontroller handles the general radio control,
monitors status, and processes commands input from the keypad or other user controls. The DSP
processes the typical analog signals, and generates the standard signaling digitally to provide
compatibility with existing analog systems. In addition, the DSP provides digital modulation
techniques, utilizing voice encoding techniques with error correction schemes. This provides the
user with enhanced range and audio quality, all in a reduced bandwidth channel requirement. It
allows embedded signaling, which can mix system information and data with digital voice to support
a multitude of system features.
The three ASTRO XTS 5000 radio models (I, II, and III) are available in the VHF (136 to 174 MHz),
UHF Range 1 (380 to 470 MHz), UHF Range 2 (450 to 520 MHz), and 700–800 MHz (764 to
870 MHz) frequency bands.
The ASTRO XTS 5000 radio (Figure 3-1) consists of the following:
• Band-dependent transceiver (RF) board
• Vocoder/controller (VOCON) board
• Universal flex assembly
• Display and keypad assemblies (Models II and III only)
• Encryption board (secure models only)

3.1.1.3 Antenna Port J2
Antenna port J2 is a surface-mount, miniature coaxial connector for the antenna cable.
3.1.1.4 Serial EEPROM
The serial, electrostatically erasable, programmable, read-only memory (EEPROM), U907 in VHF
and 700–800 MHz or U4 in UHF Range 1, holds all of the transceiver tuning data. This allows
transceivers to be tuned in the factory and installed in the field without retuning.
3.1.1.5 Power Conditioning Components
DC power-conditioning components include zener diodes, capacitors, ferrite beads, a power
inductor, and the fuse. Diodes VR1 and VR2 provide over-voltage protection. Ferrite beads
(designated E1, etc.) and capacitors suppress electromagnetic interference from the transceiver.
The power-line filter consisting of L1, C13, and C14 for VHF radios or L1, C10, and C11 for UHF
Range 1 and 700–800 MHz radios, suppresses digital noise from the VOCON board switching
power supplies that could degrade the transmitter spectral purity.
Pass transistor Q1 switches the battery voltage to the transceiver when control signal SWB+ or SB+
from the VOCON board is asserted high. This increases the transceiver’s immunity to conducted
interference that might be present on SWB+ or SB+, such as from switching voltage regulators on
the VOCON board.
Ground clips G1 through G12 make contact between the transceiver board ground and the radio
chassis. The chassis connection is a necessary electrical reference point to complete the antenna
circuit path. Shields SH101 through SH700 and the tool hole appear on the schematic to show their
connection to ground.

3.1.2.1 Receiver Front End
NOTE: Refer to Table 8-1, “List of Transceiver Schematics and Board Overlays,” on page 8-1 for a
listing of receiver front end schematics.
The receiver front end tunes to the desired channel and down converts the RF signal to the first
intermediate frequency (IF). Channel selection is by way of a tunable local oscillator, RXLO, from the
FGU.
The receiver front end consists of a preselector filter, an RF amplifier, a second preselector, mixer,
and an IF crystal filter. VHF, UHF Range 1and UHF Range 2 radios also contain a switchable
attenuator between the antenna switch and the first preselector filter. The RF amplifier is a discrete
RF transistor with associated circuitry. The mixer is a double-balanced, active mixer IC, coupled by
transformers. The receiver (RX) local oscillator (LO) is provided by the FGU.
3.1.2.1.1 Preselector Filters
VHF, UHF Range 1, and UHF Range 2: The receiver front end uses two discrete, tunable, bandpass
filters to achieve its required out-of-band rejection. The first preselector filter precedes the RF
amplifier, while the second preselector filter follows the RF amplifier. DAC2, from the PCIC, is used
to simultaneously tune both preselector filters by applying voltage to the varactors.
700–800 MHz: The receiver front end uses two, multi-layer, ceramic, tunable, bandpass filters to
achieve its required out-of-band rejection. The first preselector filter, FL401, precedes the discrete
RF amplifier. To tune the center frequency of the first filter, voltage from port DAC1 is applied to pin 3
of FL401. Pin 3 connects to the surface-mounted varactor diodes placed on each filter. A second
identical filter, FL402, follows the discrete RF amplifier. The second filter is tuned by applying voltage
from port DAC2 to pin 3 of FL402. Capacitors C409 and C410 are RF bypasses. Capacitors C400
and C411 are used to filter out noise from the DAC1 and DAC2 control lines.
3.1.2.1.2 LNA (Low-Noise Amplifier)
The XTS 5000 radio uses a discrete transistor for the low-noise amplifier (Q428 in VHF, Q430 in
UHF Range 1, Q428 in UHF Range 2, and Q401 in 700–800 MHz). A feedback network between the
collector and base improves stability and gain balance across the frequency band. Input and output
LC networks match the LNA impedance to 50 ohms.
A diode limiter (D722 in VHF, D400 in UHF Range 1, D722 in UHF Range 2, and D401 in 700-800
MHz) protects the amplifier damage by strong input signals.
3.1.2.1.3 Mixer
The mixer (U45 in VHF, U470 in UHF Range 1, U451 in UHF Range 2 and U401 in 700–800 MHz)
down-converts the received RF to the first intermediate frequency (IF). The IF is 44.85 MHz for VHF,
73.35 MHz for UHF Range 1 and UHF Range 2, and 109.65 MHz for 7/800 MHz. High-side LO
injection is used for VHF and 700 MHz, low-side for the UHF bands and 800 MHz. Transformers are
used as baluns to convert signals from singleended to balanced at pins MI, MIX, LO, and LOX. An
output transformer converts the balanced signal at pins MO and MOX to a single-ended output.
3.1.2.1.4 IF Filter
The IF filter (FL451 in VHF, FL490 in UHF Range 1, FL451 in UHF Range 2, and FL403 in 700–800
MHz) is a leadless, surface-mount, 3-pole, quartz crystal filter. This narrow bandpass filter gives the
radio its adjacent-channel and alternate-channel rejection performance.
Input and output LC networks match the filter impedance to 50 ohms. Exceptions are the VHF and
UHF Range 2, where the output is matched to 50 ohms, but the input is not.

Theory of Operation: Transceiver Board3-7
3.1.2.2 Receiver Back End
The receiver back end, which consists of the Abacus III (AD9874 IF digitizing subsystem) IC and its
associated circuitry, processes the down-converted IF signal to produce digital data for final
processing by the VOCON DSP.
NOTE: Refer to Table 8-1, “List of Transceiver Schematics and Board Overlays,” on page 8-1 for a
listing of receiver back end schematics.
3.1.2.2.1 Abacus III IC U500
The AD9874 (Figure 3-5) is a general-purpose, IF subsystem that digitizes a low-level 10–300 MHz
IF input with a bandwidth up to 270 kHz. The output of the Abacus III IC is SSI data to the VOCON.
The signal chain of the AD9874 consists of a low-noise amplifier, a mixer, a bandpass sigma-delta
A/D converter, and a decimation filter with programmable decimation factor. An automatic gain
control (AGC) circuit provides the AD9874 with 12 dB of continuous gain adjustment. The high
dynamic range and inherent anti-aliasing provided by the bandpass sigma-delta converter allow the
AD9874 to cope with blocking signals 80 dB stronger than the desired signal.
Auxiliary blocks include frequency synthesizers for the second LO and sampling clock LO, as well as
an SPI port. The second LO uses a discrete external loop filter and VCO. The clock oscillator has an
external loop filter and resonator.

approximately 420 ohms in parallel with a 1 pF capacitance at the Abacus input IFIN. Formatted SSI
data is output to the VOCON board on ports FS, DOUTA, and CLKOUT.
3.1.2.2.2 Second Local Oscillator
The second LO is controlled by the Abacus LO synthesizer, which mixes with IFIN to produce a
2.25 MHz final IF. The external VCO consists of Q502 and its bias network and frequencydetermining elements. Signal FREF is the 16.8 MHz reference from the FGU. Darlington transistor
Q501 with C550 and R501 form an active power-line filter.
VHF: The second LO frequency is 42.6 MHz by default, or 47.1 MHz in special cases as needed to
avoid radio self-quieters. The loop filter is composed of R507, C558, C559, and C503.
UHF Range 1: The second LO frequency is 71.1 MHz by default or 75.6 MHz in special cases as
needed to avoid radio self-quieters. The loop filter is composed of R551, C558, C559, R552, and
C512.
UHF Range 2: The 2nd LO frequency is 71.1 Mhz. C558, R507, and C559 form the loop filter.
700–800 MHz: The second LO frequency is 107.4 MHz by default or 111.9 MHz in special cases as
needed to avoid radio self-quieters. The loop filter is composed of R507, C558, C559, R505, and
C512.
3.1.2.2.3 Sampling Clock Oscillator
The Abacus sampling clock synthesizer operates at 18 MHz = 8 x 2.25 MHz. The VCO uses an
internal transistor and external resonator. The resonator is composed of L503, C535, and D501.
VHF: The loop filter is composed of R514, C536, C570, and C571.
UHF Range 1 and 700–800 MHz: The loop filter is composed of R514, C570, and C571.
UHF Range 2: C503, C536, R415, C570, and C571 form the loop filter.
3.1.3Transmitter
The transmitter takes modulated RF from the FGU and amplifies it to the radio's rated output power
to produce the modulated transmitter carrier at the antenna.
NOTE: Refer to Table 8-1, “List of Transceiver Schematics and Board Overlays,” on page 8-1 for a
listing of transmitter-related schematics that will aid in the following discussion.
The transmitter (Figure 3-6 on page 3-9) consists of an RF driver IC that receives its input signal
from the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a high-power output transistor. Transmitter power is
controlled by a power-control IC (PCIC) that senses the output of a directional coupler and adjusts
PA control voltages to maintain a constant power level. The signal passes through an antenna switch
and harmonic filter to the antenna.

3.1.3.1 Power Distribution
To minimize voltage drop to the power amplifiers, net RAWB+ connects to power module Q107 and
the second stage of driver amplifier U102 through components having minimal series resistance—
ferrite beads and chokes only. During receive, no RF or DC bias is applied, and leakage current
through U102 and Q107 is less than 100 microamps. The first stage of U102 uses less than 50 mA
and is supplied by TX7V, which is switched on during TX, and switched off during RX or whenever
TXINH, the transmitter inhibit control line, is high.
VHF: At a transmitter power of 6 Watts, the radio consumes approximately 2000 mA. Bias TX7V is
controlled by transistors Q101, Q102, Q103, and Q106.
UHF Range 1 and Range 2: At the rated transmitter power of 5 Watts, the radio consumes
approximately 2000 mA. Bias TX7V is controlled by transistors Q101, Q102, Q103, and Q106.
700–800 MHz: At a transmitter power of 3 Watts, the radio consumes approximately 1200 mA. Bias
TX7V is controlled by transistors Q101, Q102, Q103, and Q107.
3.1.3.2 Driver Amplifier
The driver amplifier IC (U102) contains two LDMOS FET amplifier stages and two internal resistor
bias networks. Pin 16 is the RF input. Modulated RF from the FGU, at a level of +3 dBm ±2 dB, is
coupled through a blocking capacitor to the gate of FET-1. An LC interstage matching network
connects the first stage output VD1 to the second stage input G2. The RF output from the drain of
FET-2 is pin 6 (RFOUT1). Gain control is provided by a voltage applied to pin 1 (VCNTRL). Typical
output power is about +27 dBm (500 mW) with VCNTRL at 5.0 V.
VHF: L109 and C113 are the interstage matching network. Components C108–C111 and L106–L107
match the output impedance to maximize power transfer to Q107; capacitor C107 is a DC block.
UHF Range 2: L109 and C113 are the interstage matching network. Components C108–C111 and
L105, L107, and L108 match the output impedance to maximize power transfer to Q107.
UHF Range 1 and 700–800 MHz: L109 and C116 are the interstage matching network. Components
L105 and C110 match the output impedance to 50 ohms; capacitor C107 is a DC block.

3-10Theory of Operation: Transceiver Board
3.1.3.3 Power Amplifier Transistor Q107
The power amplifier transistor, Q107, is an LDMOS FET housed in a high-power, surface-mount, ring
package. To prevent thermal damage, it is essential that the heat sink of the power module be held in
place against the radio chassis. The input impedance-matching network uses discrete inductors and
capacitors. The low-pass output matching network uses both transmission lines and lumped LCs.
Drain bias is applied through E101 and L101. Gain is dynamically controlled by adjusting the gate
bias. The gate is insulated from the drain and source so that gate bias current is essentially zero.
VHF: The input and output impedance-matching networks consist of L112–L114 and C137–C140.
Gate bias is applied through R105, R106, and L108.
UHF Range 2: The input and output impedance-matching networks consist of L113, L114 and C137,
C139, C140, C149, and C151.
Gate bias is applied through R105, R106, and L720.
UHF Range 1 and 700–800 MHz: The input impedance-matching network is L106, L107, C108, and
C109. A transmission-line structure and C137, C111, and C112 form the output-matching network.
Gate bias applied through R106 and L110.
3.1.3.4 Directional Coupler
A directional coupler senses the transmitter forward and reverse power as control signals in the
transmitter's automatic level control (ALC) loop. Isolated ports are terminated with external resistors.
VHF and UHF Range 1: The directional coupler consists of three embedded transmission lines.
UHF Range 1 and 700–800 MHz: The directional coupler is U101, a low-loss, bidirectional coupler.
3.1.3.5 Antenna Switch
NOTE: Refer to Table 8-1, “List of Transceiver Schematics and Board Overlays,” on page 8-1 for a
listing of schematics that will aid in the following discussion.
The antenna switch is a single-pole, double-throw, positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) diode, transmit/
receive (T/R) antenna switch. Forward DC bias turn the diodes ON, reverse or zero bias turns them
OFF.
VHF and UHF Range 2: PIN diodes D707 and D717 form a narrow-band, quarter-wave, T/R switch.
In transmit mode, both diodes are forward-biased, and the signal goes from the transmitter to the
antenna through the low resistance of the series PIN diode, while the low resistance of the shunt
diode shorts the receiver. In receive mode, neither diode is biased and both behave as small-value
capacitors, creating a high blocking impedance, in effect disconnecting the transmitter circuitry from
the antenna.
UHF Range 1: Diodes D701 and D702 form a broadband switch. Inductors L706 and L707 resonate
with the OFF diode parasitic capacitance to improve isolation.
700–800 MHz: PIN diodes D701 and D702 form a narrow-band, quarter-wave, T/R switch. When the
PIN diodes are OFF, parallel inductors L706 and L707 resonate with the diode parasitic capacitance
to increase isolation at the signal frequency.
The switch control circuit consists of transistors Q101, Q103, Q106, and associated resistors. The
input signals are TXINH from the VOCON board and RXH (RX for VHF) from the PCIC. When
TXINH is low and RXH (RX for VHF) is high, the switch is in the receive state. When TXINH and
RXH (RX for VHF) are low, the switch is in its transmitter state. When TXINH is held high, the radio is
inhibited from transmitting. This is a secure-module control feature.

3.1.3.6 Harmonic Filter
The harmonic filter is a high-power, low-loss, low-pass filter. Its purpose is to suppress transmitter
harmonics. The filter also improves receiver out-of-band rejection. Shield SH700 must be in place to
achieve the required stop band rejection.
VHF: The harmonic filter uses discrete components. The pass band is up to 190 MHz, and the stop
band is above 260 MHz.
UHF Range 1: The harmonic filter is discrete, the pass band is up to 470 MHz, and the stop band is
above 760 MHz.
UHF Range 2: The harmonic filter uses discrete components. The pass band is up to 595 MHz, and
the stop band is above 900 MHz.
700–800 MHz: The harmonic filter uses both discrete components and transmission lines. The pass
band is up to 870 MHz, and the stop band is above 1500 MHz.
3.1.3.7 RF Detectors D101 and D102
Two Schottky diodes, D101 and D102, are used as forward- and reverse-power detectors. Forwardcoupled RF from the power amplifier, and reverse-coupled RF from the antenna are converted to DC
voltages FWD and RVS. Detector output is a positive DC voltage, proportional to the amplitude of
the RF signal at the input.
3.1.3.8 Summing Amplifier U106
This op-amp circuit is a non-inverting buffer. Signals FWD and RVS are summed and sent to the
ALC input of the PCIC. When the antenna port is loaded with a low VSWR (voltage standing wave
ratio), as in normal operation, RVS is far less than FWD, the amplifier output is a function of FWD,
and the radio maintains a constant output power. Under high VSWR conditions, such as when the
antenna is damaged or held near a large metal surface, the amplitude of RVS becomes a large
fraction of FWD, the amplifier output increases proportionally, and the radio cuts back the transmitter
power by up to 50%. This reduces high battery current into a large VSWR transmitter to extend
battery life.
3.1.3.9 Power-Control IC (PCIC) U104
The PCIC, U104, contains all of the digital, and most of the analog, circuits needed to control the
transmitter power amplifier. Host control is through a 3-wire, smart SPI interface. Pin descriptions are
shown in Table 3-3.

3.1.3.9.1 Power and Control
Since U104 is powered from switched B+, it makes its own regulated 4.5 Vdc to power the internal
logic. The supply input is V5EXT at pin 17, and the output is V45 at pin 16. RX at pin 23 is the control
signal to the antenna switch control circuit.
3.1.3.9.2 Voltage Multiplier
The PCIC contains an internal voltage multiplier. This multiplier produces signal V10 (pin 14), a 10-V
supply for the PCIC D/A converters (DACs). This enables the DACs outputs to reach 8 V. The FREF
signal is a 2.1 MHz clock used to switch the multiplier. The voltage multiplier is not used in either the
VHF, UHF Range 1, UHF Range 2, or 700–800 MHz radio.
3.1.3.9.3 Automatic Level Control (ALC)
In TX mode, the PCIC disables the receiver, turns on the transmitter, and controls the TX power
level. The automatic level control (ALC) circuit operates as follows:
July 21, 20046881094C31-D
Page 51
Theory of Operation: Transceiver Board3-13
The power level is set by programming an internal DAC to a calibrated reference voltage. D/A
settings for the power set points were determined during radio tuning and stored in EEPROM. An
internal op-amp compares the D/A reference voltage to the detector voltage at pin 1(RFIN) (TP101)
and produces an error signal output. This signal is buffered by another op-amp, configured as a lowpass filter, or integrator, to produce the INT output at pin 4 (TP104). This signal drives the base of
voltage follower Q108.
Transistor Q108 supplies current to drive the gain control pins of amplifiers U102 and Q107.
Resistors R105 and R106 determine the voltage ratio between U102 pin 2 (VCNTRL) and the Q107
gate. Transient response during key-up and key-down is controlled by the power amplifier rise and
fall times. External capacitors at pins CI, CJ, and CL, along with internal programmable resistors,
determine the ALC time constants.
3.1.3.9.4 Temperature Cut Back
The PCIC contains a temperature cut-back circuit to protect the power amplifier (PA) from thermal
damage that might result from incorrect assembly of the radio. External sensor U103 is a linear
temperature-to-voltage transducer, placed near the hottest spot in the radio: power module Q107.
The output is a DC voltage at pin 2 (VOUT) proportional to the temperature at pin 3 (GND). VOUT is
750 mV at 25°C and increases by 10 mV/°C. The PCIC temperature cut-back threshold is
programmed to correspond to 85 or 90°C. Above this threshold, the ALC gradually cuts back the
transmitter until it is fully turned off at 125°C. The slope of cut-back versus temperature is set by
external resistor R111. Diode D104 clamps TEMP to a voltage not much less than VG (pin 15), about
1.3 V, to improve the transient response of the cut-back circuit.
3.1.3.9.5 D/A Outputs
In RX mode, the PCIC shuts down the transmitter, turns on the receiver, and tunes the RX front-end
pre-selector filters.
VHF: Signal VAR2 supplies the voltage used to tune both front-end preselector filters. The voltage
range varies from 1.2 V to 2.4 V across the VHF band.
UHF Range 1: Signal VAR2 tunes both receiver preselector filters. Control voltage is in the 1 to 4 V
range.
UHF Range 2: Signal VAR2 supplies the voltage used to tune both front-end preselector filters. The
voltage
range varies from 1.2 V to 3.6 V.
700–800 MHz: Signals VAR1 and VAR2 are D/A outputs to the RX front-end preselector filters.
Output voltage is in the range of about 1 to 4 V over the frequency band. In TX mode, VAR1 and
VAR2 disconnect from the D/A and go to 0 Vdc, thus tuning the RX front-end filters out of band.
3.1.4Frequency Generation Unit (FGU)
The frequency-generation function is performed by several ICs; multiple, discrete, voltage-controlled
oscillators (VCOs); and associated circuitry. The reference oscillator provides a frequency standard
to the fractional-N frequency synthesizer (FracN) IC, which controls the VCOs and VCO buffer IC
(VCOBIC). The VCOBIC amplifies the VCO signal to the correct level for the next stage.
VHF: Two VCOs are employed—one to generate the first LO and the other to generate the transmitinjection signals.
UHF Range 1: Four VCOs are employed: two transmit and two receive.
UHF Range 2: Three VCOs are employed: one transmit and two receive.

700–800 MHz: Three VCOs generate the first LO and transmit-injection signals.
NOTE: Refer to Table 8-1, “List of Transceiver Schematics and Board Overlays,” on page 8-1 for a
listing of FGU-related schematics that will aid in the following discussion.
3.1.4.1 Reference Oscillator Y200
The radio's frequency stability and accuracy derive from the Voltage-Controlled TemperatureCompensated Crystal Oscillator (VCTCXO), Y200. This 16.8 MHz oscillator is controlled by the
voltage from the WARP pin of the FracN (fractional-N frequency synthesizer) IC, U202, that can be
programmed through a serial peripheral interface (SPI). The oscillator output at pin 3 is coupled
through capacitor C234 to the FracN synthesizer reference oscillator input and through C236 (C237
for VHF and UHF Range 2) to the non-invertive input of the op-amp, U201.
Op-amp U201 buffers the 16.8 MHz output to the VOCON board. Components L205 and C214
(C213, L205, and C214 for VHF) form a low-pass filter to reduce harmonics of the 16.8 MHz.
The Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) IC, U203, and Switched Capacitors Filter (SCF) IC, FL200,
form the interface between radio's DSP and the analog modulation input of the FracN IC.
3.1.4.2 Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizer (FracN) IC U202
The FracN IC, U202, is a mixed-mode, Motorola-proprietary, CMOS, fractional-N frequency
synthesizer with built-in dual-port modulation. The XTS 5000 radio uses a low-voltage version of the
device, sometimes called LVFracN, for compatibility with the 3 V logic used throughout the radio.
The FracN IC incorporates frequency division and comparison circuitry to keep the VCO signals
stable. The FracN IC is controlled by the MCU through a serial bus. All of the synthesizer circuitry is
enclosed in rigid metal cans on the transceiver board to reduce interference effects.
Separate power supply inputs are used for the various functional blocks on the IC. Inductors L203
and L204 provide isolation between supply pins 20 (AVDD) and 36 (DVDD) connected to Vdd3. Host
control is through a three-wire, smart SPI interface (pins 7, 8, and 9) with a bi-directional data pin.
FracN functions include frequency synthesis, reference clock generation, modulation control, voltage
multiplication and filtering, and auxiliary logic outputs.
3.1.4.2.1 Synthesizer
Frequency synthesis functions include a dual-modulus prescaler, a phase detector, a programmable
loop divider and its control logic, a charge pump, and a lock detector output. Fractional-N synthesizer
IC principles of operation are covered in detail in the manufacturers' literature. No similar discussion
will be attempted here.
3.1.4.2.2 Clocks
U202, pin 23 (XTAL1), is the 16.8 MHz reference oscillator input from the VCTCXO (Y200).
3.1.4.2.3 Modulation
To support many voice, data, and signaling protocols, XTS 5000 radios must modulate the
transmitter carrier frequency over a wide audio frequency range, from less than 10 Hz up to more
than 6 kHz. The FracN supports audio frequencies down to zero Hz by using dual-port modulation.
The audio signal at pin 10 (MODIN) is internally divided into high- and low-frequency components,
which modify both the synthesizer dividers and the external VCOs through signal MODOUT (pin 41).
The IC is adjusted to achieve flat modulation frequency response during transmitter modulation
balance calibration using a built-in modulation attenuator.

Theory of Operation: Transceiver Board3-15
3.1.4.2.4 Voltage Multiplier and Superfilter
Pins 12 (VMULT3) and 11 (VMULT4) together with diode arrays D201 and D202 and their associated
capacitors form the voltage multiplier. The voltage multiplier generates 11.5 Vdc to supply the phase
detector and charge-pump output stage at pin 47 (VCP).
The superfilter is an active filter that provides a low-noise supply for the VCOs and VCOBIC. The
input is regulated 5 Vdc from Vdd5 at pin 30 (SFIN). The output is superfiltered voltage FSF at pin 28
(SFOUT).
The output from pin 15 (VMULT1) is used as a clock for the SCF IC, FL200.
3.1.4.3 Loop Filter
The components connected to pins 43 (IOUT) and 45 (IADAPT) form a 3rd-order, RC low-pass filter.
Current from the charge-pump output, IOUT, is transformed to voltage VCTRL, which modulates the
VCOs. Extra current is supplied by IADAPT for rapid phase-lock acquisition during frequency
changes. The lock detector output pin 4 (LOCK) goes to a logic “1” to indicate when the phased-lock
loop is in lock.
3.1.4.4 VCO Buffer IC (VCOBIC)
The VCOBIC (U302 for VHF radios or U300 for UHF Range 1 and 700–800 MHz radios) is an
analog IC containing two NPN transistors for use as oscillators, an active-bias circuit, transmitter and
receiver buffer amplifiers, and switching circuitry. The VCOBIC has three RF outputs:
• PRESC_OUT (pin 12)—connected to FracN pin 32 (PREIN) through a matching circuit
Transmit/receive control is a single 5.0 Vdc logic input, TRB_IN (pin 19). When TRB_IN is low, the
receiver buffer is active and the transmitter circuits are disabled. The converse is also true.
VHF: The VCOs in VHF radios use the VCOBIC internal transistors and implement the active bias
via resistors R304 and R305. Bias to TX_OUT is supplied through resistor R313. Components L309
and C316 form a matching circuit for the TX_OUT impedance. C319 acts as a DC block, and
resistors R314, R315, and R316 attenuate an output signal to an optimum level for the PA.
L312 and C320 form a low-pass bias supply filter for the RX_OUT. L310 and C317 are the RX_OUT
impedance-matching circuit. C322 is a DC block, and resistors R317 and R318 attenuate an output
signal to an optimum level for the mixer IC.
An NPN/PNP-packaged transistor, Q301, together with the supporting components R308, R309, and
R310, form the 3.3 Vdc-to-5 Vdc logic-level shifter between the AUX3 pin of the FracN IC, U202, and
VCOBIC, U302.
UHF Range 1: For these radios, four VCOs are used: two transmit and two receive. Control-logic
translation is done by level shifter Q310 and Q311, and wired-OR D320.
UHF Range 2: Two VCOs are used for receive and one for Transmit. The fractional N synthesizer
selects the appropriate VCO by toggling auxilary lines 2,3, or 4. The selection of the TX VCO with
auxilary line 4 also sets TRB_IN high.
700–800 MHz: These radios use three external, discrete, varactor-tuned, Colpitts VCOs based on
transistors Q301, Q303, and Q308. Bias current to the VCOs is switched on and off by the
transistors Q302, Q306, and Q309, which are controlled by FracN outputs AUX1, AUX2, and AUX4.
Transistor Q304 is an additional transmit buffer amplifier reducing frequency pulling on the transmit
VCO. An additional buffer is switched on and off by the transistor Q305. Bias to TX_OUT is supplied
through resistor R307. Components L307 and C208 form a low-pass bias supply filter. The RX_OUT
impedance is matched by a one-component match, coil L310.

description of the interface between the VOCON and transceiver boards through P201. Ground clip
M202 is used on the bottom side of the VOCON board to contact the transceiver shield. This
additional connection provides a consistent, common ground with the VOCON board and the radio

interface (PTT, keypad, channel select, etc.), and programming of ICs, as well as other functions.
The DSP performs voice encoding and decoding, audio filtering, volume control, PL/DPL encode
and alert-tone generation, squelch control, and receiver/transmitter filtering, as well as other
functions.
The Patriot IC executes a stored program located in the Flash memory device. The SRAM, a volatile
device, is used as working memory and shares the address and data bus with the Flash memory
device.
NOTE: Refer to Table 8-2, “List of VOCON Schematics and Board Overlays,” on page 8-1 for a listing
of VOCON schematics that will aid in the following discussion.
3.2.2.1 Patriot IC U401
The Patriot IC U401 is a dual-core processor that contains both a 32-bit microcontroller unit (MCU)
and a 16-bit digital signal processor (DSP) in one IC package. It comes in a 256-pin, ball-grid array
(BGA) package with 1mm pitch solder balls. On the NTN9564, NNTN4563, and NNTN4819 VOCON
boards, the dual-core processor is supplied with two voltages: 1.8 V (E401) and 3 V (E402). The
1.8 V supply is used as the core voltage, as well as the interface voltage, to the memory devices and
display (1.8 V display interface only for the NTN9564 VOCON board). Most of the pins on the Patriot
IC operate from the 3 V supply.
The NNTN4717 kit uses a new dual-core processor which requires some different operating
voltages. The 1.8 V supply is used as the interface to the memory devices, unchanged from the
original processor. A 1.55 V supply is used for the core voltage and the clock amplifier module. The
remaining pins of the processor use a 2.9 V supply.
NOTE: GPIO voltage for the NTN9564, NNTN4563, and NNTN4819 VOCON boards is 3.0 V.
NOTE: GPIO voltage for the NNTN4717 VOCON board is 2.9 V.
Two main clocks are provided to the Patriot IC. The CKIH pin (C452) is provided a 16.8 MHz sine
wave. This is the most important clock since it is internally used to generate the clocks for both the
MCU and DSP cores, as well as most of the peripherals. A 3 V peak-to-peak 32 kHz square wave
(32 kHz test point) is generated by the Flipper IC U301 and supplied to the CKIL pin on the Patriot
IC. While not as widely used as the 16.8 MHz clock, the 32 kHz clock is needed by some
components in the Patriot including the reset circuitry.
3.2.2.1.1 Microcontroller Unit (MCU)
The MCU portion of the Patriot IC has 22.5k x 32 bits of internal RAM and 1k x 32 bits of internal
ROM, which is used for the bootstrapping code. The MCU has several peripherals including an
External Interface Module (EIM), the Multiple Queue Serial Peripheral Interface (MQSPI), two
Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) modules, and the One-Wire Interface
module. The MCU communicates internally to the DSP through the MCU/DSP Interface (MDI).
External Interface Module (EIM)
The External Interface Module (EIM) is the MCU interface to the SRAM U403 and Flash Memory
U402, as well as the display (only for the NTN9564 VOCON kit). The EIM lines include 24 external
address lines, 16 external bi-directional data lines, 6 chip selects lines, read/write line, and output
enable line among others. All of the EIM lines operate at 1.8-V logic levels, and the EIM operates at
the MCU clock speed.

Theory of Operation: VOCON Board3-19
Multiple Queue Serial Peripheral Interface (MQSPI)
The Multiple Queue Serial Peripheral Interface (MQSPI) is the MCUs programming interface to other
ICs. The Patriot IC has two independent SPI busses, and each has its own clock line (test points
SCKA and SCKB), data-out line (test points MOSIA and MOSIB), and data-in line (test points MISOA
and MISOB). There are 10 SPI chip selects (SPICS) that are programmable to either SPI A, the
transceiver board SPI bus, or to SPI B, the dedicated VOCON SPI bus.
The devices on the SPI A bus include the PCIC and FracN IC on the SPICS4 (R131), the Abacus III
IC on SPICS5 (R126), an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) on SPICS6 (R133), and the serial
EEPROM on SPICS7 (R132). The two SPI B chip selects are for the GCAP II IC U501 on SPICS2
(R539) and the Flipper IC U301 on SPICS3. On the NNTN4563, NNTN4819, and NNTN4717
VOCON boards, two additional SPI chip select lines are used for the display: SPICS0 (R442) and
SPICS1 (U407 pin 14). All of the SPI module lines operate at GPIO voltage logic levels.
There are several devices on the transceiver board that only have one bi-directional SPI data line.
Components U404, U405, and U406 are configurable by MCU GPIO pin TOUT13 (MISOA_SEL) to
route the data line to the appropriate pin on the Patriot IC depending on which SPI device is being
accessed.
The Patriot IC has two Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) modules. UART1
handles the RS232 lines while UART 2 is connected to the SB9600 lines. Each UART has a receive
data line (URXD), a transmit data line (UTXD), and hardware flow control signals (RTS–request to
send) and (CTS–clear to send). All UART lines operate at GPIO voltage logic levels. The translation
to 5 V logic levels for the accessory side connector is discussed in the Flipper section.
One-Wire Interface
The MCU has a One-Wire Interface module that is used to communicate to a One-Wire device like a
USB cable or a smart battery using the Dallas Semiconductor protocol. This module has one
external pin, OWIRE_DAT (Q504 pin 2), and it uses a GPIO voltage logic level.
3.2.2.1.2 Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
The DSP portion of the Patriot IC has 84k x 24 bits of program RAM and 62k x 16 bits of data RAM.
The DSP has its own set of peripherals including the Baseband Interface Port (BBP), the DSP Timer
module, and the Serial Audio CODEC Port (SAP). Additionally, the DSP shares some peripherals
with the MCU, including the USB interface and the General Purpose Input/Output module (GPIO).
Baseband Interface Port (BBP)
The Baseband Interface Port (BBP) module is the DSP’s serial synchronous interface (SSI) to the
transceiver board. The BBP has independent sections for the receiver and the transmitter. The
receiver BBP pins include the receive data pin SRDB (R121), the receive clock signal pin SC0B
(R124), and the receive frame synchronization (sync) signal pin SC1B (R123). The transmitter's BBP
pins include the transmit data pin STDB (R127), the transmit clock signal pin SCKB (R125), and the
transmit frame sync signal pin SC2B (R119). All BBP lines use GPIO voltage logic levels.
DSP Timer Module
While the BBP receive clock and frame sync signals are supplied by the Abacus III IC from the
transceiver board, the BBP transmit clock and frame sync signals are generated by the DSP Timer.
The BBP receive clock, connected to the DSP Timer input pin T10, is reference used to generate the
BBP transmit clock and frame sync signals. These two signals, along with the BBP transmit data
signal, are connected to the DAC on the transceiver board.

3-20Theory of Operation: VOCON Board
Serial Audio CODEC Port (SAP)
The Serial Audio CODEC Port (SAP) module is the DSP’s serial synchronous interface (SSI) to the
audio CODEC on the GCAP II IC. The SAP also interfaces with the encryption module.
The SAP interface consists of four signals including the SAP clock line pin SCKA (component R405),
the SAP frame sync line pin SC2A (component R406), the SAP receive data line pin SRDA
(component R402), and the transmit data line pin STDA (component R403). On the NTN9564,
NNTN4563, and NNTN4819 VOCON boards, the SAP clock is generated by the Flipper IC U301,
and is a 520 kHz, 3 V peak-to-peak square wave. The SAP frame sync signal is also generated by
the Flipper IC, and is an 8 kHz, 3 V peak-to-peak square wave.
On the NNTN4717 VOCON board, the SAP clock is generated by the dual-core processor U401,
and is a 256 kHz, 2.9 V peak-to-peak square wave. The SAP frame sync signal is generated by the
dual-core processor U401, and is an 8 kHz, 2.9 V peak-to-peak square wave.
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
The Patriot IC USB peripheral, shared by the MCU and the DSP, provides the required buffering and
protocol to communicate on the Universal Serial Bus. The Patriot IC supports USB slave
functionality.
For receive data, the USB differentially decoded data comes from the Flipper IC URXD_RTS pin into
the Patriot URTS1 pin, while the single-ended USB data positive signal goes to pin PA2_USB_VPIN,
and the single-ended USB data minus signal goes to pin URXD1. The two data lines are used to
detect the single-ended zero state.
For transmit data, the USB data comes out of the Patriot IC UTXD1 pin and goes to the Flipper IC
TXD_USB_VPO pin. The USB transmit single-ended zero signal is generated from the Patriot IC
PC0_USB_VMOUT pin.
General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) Module
The General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) module is shared by the MCU and the DSP. This module
consists of four 16-pin bi-directional ports and a 15 pin bi-directional port. While some of the pins on
these ports are being used for other functions (UART, SPI, SAP, BBP, and Interrupt pins), the
remaining pins can be programmed to become GPIOs that can be used by either the DSP or the
MCU. Each GPIO pin has up to 8 alternate output functions and up to 4 alternate input functions.
This allows for the GPIO pins to be routed internally to pertinent Patriot IC modules. Additionally, the
GPIO module adds selectable edge-triggered or level-sensitive interrupt functionality to the GPIO
pins. Some examples of GPIO pins include the Audio PA control signals (EXT_SPKR_SEL,
AUDIO_PA_EN, and AUDIO_MODE_SEL), the EEPOT control signals (EEPOT_INC*,
EEPOT_U_D*, EEPOT_CS*, and EEPOT_CS_EXT*), and the LED control signals (RED_LED and
GREEN_LED).
3.2.2.2 Static RAM (SRAM) U403
The static RAM (SRAM) IC U403 is an asynchronous, 1 MB, CMOS device that is capable of 70 ns
access speed. It is supplied with 1.8 volts. The SRAM has its 19 address lines and 16 data lines
connected to the EIM of the Patriot IC through the Address(23:0) and Data(15:0) busses.
The SRAM has an active-high chip select CS2 that is tied directly to the 1.8 V supply and an activelow chip select CS1 that is connected to the EIM CS2_N pin (test point CS2). When the SRAM CS1
pin is not asserted, the SRAM is in standby mode, which reduces current consumption.
Two other control signals from the EIM that change the mode of the SRAM are the read/write signal,
R/W, and the output enable signal, OE. The R/W of the EIM is connected to the SRAM EN_WE pin
(test point R_W), while the OE signal from the EIM is connected to the SRAM EN_OE pin. The
SRAM is in read mode when the EN_WE pin is not asserted and the EN_OE pin is asserted. The
SRAM is in write mode when the EN_WE pin is asserted, regardless of the state of the EN_OE pin.
July 21, 20046881094C31-D
Page 59
Theory of Operation: VOCON Board3-21
The other SRAM pins are the lower-byte enable pin LB and the upper-byte enable pin UB. These
pins are used to determine which byte (LB controls data lines 0-7 and UB controls data lines 8-15) is
being used when there is a read or a write request from the Patriot IC. The LB pin is controlled by the
EIM EB1_N signal, while the UP pin is controlled by the EB0_N signal.
3.2.2.3 FLASH Memory U402
The Flash memory IC is an 8 MB CMOS device with simultaneous read/write or simultaneous read/
erase operation capabilities with 70 ns access speed. It is supplied with 1.8 volts. The Flash memory
has its 22 address lines and 16 data lines connected to the EIM of the Patriot IC through the
Address(23:0) and Data(15:0) busses. The Flash memory contains host firmware, DSP firmware,
and codeplug data with the exception of the tuning values that reside on the transceiver board's
serial EEPROM. The Flash memory IC is not field repairable.
The RESET_OUT of the Patriot IC is at a GPIO voltage logic level. Components D401 and R401 are
used to convert the voltage down to a 1.8 V logic level, and this 1.8 V reset signal is fed to the Flash
RESET pin. When this pin is asserted (active low logic), the Flash is in reset mode. In this mode, the
internal circuitry powers down, and the outputs become high-impedance connections.
The Flash active-low chip select pin, EN_CE, is connected to the active-low CS0_N pin (CS0 test
point) of the EIM. When the EN_CE is not asserted, the Flash is in standby mode, which reduces
current consumption.
Several other active-low control pins determine what mode the Flash memory is in: the address valid
pin ADV (ADV test point) that is connected to the EIM LBA_N signal, the output enable pin EN_OE
that is connected to the EIM OE_N signal, and the write enable pin EN_WE that is connected to the
EIM EB1_N signal. For read mode, the ADV and EN_OE pins are asserted while the EN_WE pin is
not asserted. When the EN_WE is asserted and the EN_OE pin is unasserted, the Flash operates in
the write mode.

3.2.3Audio and Power
The audio and power section contains the following components:
• GCAP II IC U501
• 5 V regulator U505
• Audio pre-amplifier U502
• Audio power amplifier U503
• EEPOT U509
• 1.55 V regulator (NNTN4717 VOCON board only)
The GCAP II IC contains a CODEC, amplification, filtering, and multiplexing capability for receive
and transmit audio, voltage regulators, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a real-time clock
(RTC). The GCAP II IC is programmed by the Patriot IC.
The audio pre-amplifier and the audio power amplifier condition the received audio signal before
being routed to the speaker. The dual EEPOT sets the gain of the microphone signal. These devices
are programmed by the Patriot IC.
NOTE: Refer to Table 8-2, “List of VOCON Schematics and Board Overlays,” on page 8-1 for a listing
of audio and power-related schematics that will aid in the following discussion.
3.2.3.1 GCAP II IC U501
The GCAP II IC is a mixed-signal (analog and digital) IC that provides control, audio, and voltage
regulation functionality. It comes in a 100-pin, ball-grid array (BGA) package with 0.8 mm pitch solder
balls. The GCAP II IC is supplied with switched battery voltage GCAP_B+ (R581).
3.2.3.1.1 Voltage Regulation
The GCAP II IC contains several voltage regulators that are used in the design of the VOCON board:
VSW1, VSW2, and V2. The VSW1 regulator is a programmable switching regulator that uses the
switched battery voltage as its input on pin PSRC1. The output voltage of VSW1 (R502) is
programmable by the Patriot IC U401 through the SPI bus. The initial output of VSW1 is 3.2 volts,
which is then programmed to 3.8 volts. The VSW1 voltage is supplied to the RF Interface connector
P201 pin 15 and to the input pins of the VSW2 and V2 regulators.
The VSW2 regulator is a SPI programmable switching regulator that uses VSW1 as its input on pin
PSRC2. The initial output of VSW2 (R501) is 2.2 volts, which is then programmed to 1.875 volts
(referred to as 1.8 volts throughout this document). The VSW2 voltage is supplied to the Patriot IC
(core voltage and the EIM voltage), the SRAM U403, the Flash memory U402, and the display
module connector J301 (1.8 V display interface only for the NTN9564 VOCON kit).
The V2 regulator is a SPI programmable linear regulator that uses VSW1 as its input on pin VIN2.
The initial output of V2 (R560) is 2.775 volts, which is then programmed to 3 volts for the NTN9564,
NNTN4563, and NNTN4819 VOCON boards, and 2.9 volts for the NNTN4717 VOCON board. The
V2 voltage is supplied to the Patriot IC (I/O ring - SPI, BBP, SAP, UART, GPIO, etc.), the Flipper IC
U301, the EEPOT U509, the display module connector J301, and the many discrete components
that interface with the Patriot IC and the Flipper IC.
July 21, 20046881094C31-D
Page 61
Theory of Operation: VOCON Board3-23
3.2.3.1.2 MCU Interface
The GCAP II IC has a four-wire, SPI connection to the Patriot IC (SPI B). The SPI B clock is
connected to the SPI_CLK pin (test point SCKB). The SPI B MOSI line is connected to the SPI_DW
pin (test point MOSIB). The SPI B MISO line is connected to the SPI_DR pin (test point MISOB). The
GCAP SPI B chip-select signal is connected to the CE pin (R539). Through this interface, the Patriot
IC can program the voltage regulators, the CODEC, the transmit and receive audio filters and
amplifiers, as well as read information from the ADC and the real-time clock.
The GCAP II IC has an 8-bit ADC with general-purpose six channels and four voltage-monitoring
channels. The six general-purpose analog-to-digital (A/D) channels are assigned to monitor volume
(AD5); the three-position toggle switch from the universal connector J101 (AD1); the emergency,
monitor, and side buttons (AD0); the battery status line (AD2); the board type indicator (AD3); and
the board identification voltage (AD4). Battery voltage is also monitored by the ADC. The Patriot IC
activates and reads the A/D values through the SPI bus.
The real-time clock (RTC) module of the GCAP II IC consists of several counters to determine
elapsed time. The Patriot IC reads the RTC registers through the SPI bus. The RTC is supplied with
voltage from a backup lithium rechargeable battery (LI_CELL) and a 32.768 kHz clock signal from
the Flipper IC to the GCAP II IC XTAL1 pin.
3.2.3.1.3 Audio Circuitry
A 13-bit CODEC, internal to the GCAP II IC and programmable by the Patriot IC through the SPI bus,
converts microphone audio into a digital bit stream for processing by the DSP. The CODEC also
converts receive audio data that was processed by the DSP into an analog audio signal for
amplification to a speaker. The CODEC interfaces to the DSP through the 4-wire SAP bus. The
CODEC clock, which is 520 kHz (for the NTN9564, NNTN4563, and NNTN4819 VOCON boards) or
256 kHz (for the NNTN4717 VOCON board) is supplied to the DCLK pin. The CODEC 8 kHz
CODEC frame synchronization signal is supplied to the FSYNC pin. The CODEC transmit data
signal is on the TX pin, while the CODEC receive data signal is on the RX pin. For the CODEC to
operate with those clock and frame sync signals, a 13 MHz clock (R302), generated by the Flipper
IC, is supplied to the GCAP CLK_IN pin.
The GCAP II IC contains internal amplification, filtering, and multiplexing functionality for both
receive and transmit audio. These functions are Patriot IC-programmable through the SPI bus. The
input for the internal microphone audio (R540) is the MICIN_NEG pin, while the input for the external
microphone audio (R566) is the AUX_MIC_NEG pin. The output for the speaker audio is the
EXTOUT pin (C533).
3.2.3.2 5 V Regulator U505
The 5 V regulator uses UNSW_B+ as its input voltage. The Flipper IC WDI line controls the
regulator's SHUTDOWN pin. The 5 V supply (R503) is used by the Flipper IC U301, audio preamplifier U502, microphone bias circuitry (R531 and R563), Flipper IC protection diodes, bidirectional voltage translators, battery data-line isolation circuitry, and ESD protection circuitry.
3.2.3.3 1.55 V Regulator
The 1.55 V regulator is made up of the following components: U508, Q503, R598, R507, R508,
R509, R512, R599, C576, C565, C512, C580, and C567 (check the NNTN4717 VOCON board BOM
for part values and placement). This circuit uses VSW1 to bias the regulator while VSW2 sources the
current. This voltage is used by the dual-core processor U401 for its core voltage and clock amplifier.
The 1.55 V regulator is only instantiated on the NNTN4717 VOCON board.

3-24Theory of Operation: VOCON Board
3.2.3.4 Audio Pre-Amplifier U502
The audio pre-amplifier U502 is a single-package, 5-pin, op-amp supplied with 5 volts. This pre-amp
stage provides a fixed gain, which is selected by the components R551 and R537. The input (U502
pin 4) of stage is the EXTOUT pin from the GCAP II IC, while the output (U502 pin 1) of this stage
goes to the audio PA.
3.2.3.5 Audio Power Amplifier U503
The audio power amplifier (PA) U503 consists of two BTL amplifiers, complementary outputs, and
control logic. Each of the amplifiers has a fixed gain—the external audio PA gain is set by
components R553 and R554, while the internal audio PA gain is set by components R549 and R550.
The MODE pin (U503 pin 4) voltage determines the operation of the amplifier. That voltage is
controlled by the Patriot IC GPIO lines AUDIO_PA_EN (to Q505) and AUDIO_MODE_SEL (to
Q506). Table 3-4 describes how the Patriot IC GPIO lines configure the audio PA.
Table 3-4. Audio PA Status
AUDIO_PA_ENAUDIO_MODE_SELAudio PA StatusMODE Voltage
00StandbyV_Mode > 7 V
01Mute1.5 V < V_Mode < 6 V
10OnV_Mode < 0.5 V
11OnV_Mode < 0.5 V
The SELECT pin (U503 pin 6) is used to switch the audio path between internal and external
speaker. The voltage on that pin is determined by the EXT_SPKR_SEL line from the Patriot IC and
the Q505 transistor. When the voltage at the SELECT pin is high (B+), the audio is routed to the
internal speaker lines. When the voltage at the SELECT pin is low (V_select < 0.5V), the audio is
routed to the external speaker lines.
3.2.3.6 EEPOT U509
The EEPOT is a digitally programmable potentiometer with 256 taps and a total resistance of
50 kohms. This 10-pin package contains two independent potentiometers, one for each microphone
line. The EEPOT resistance values are programmed by the Patriot IC GPIOs EEPOT_INC* (U509
pin 9) and EEPOT_U_D* (U509 pin 2). The EEPOT_INC* signal increments the resistance value up
or down, which depends on the EEPOT_U_D* signal. The EEPOT_CS* line (U509 pin 10) is
asserted when the internal microphone gain is being changed. Similarly, the EEPOT_CS_XST*
(U509 pin 1) is asserted for external microphone gain changes. The EEPOT is supplied with voltage
from the GCAP II V2 regulator.
3.2.4Interface Support
The interface support section consists of the following:
• Flipper IC U301
• ESD protection circuitry
• Universal connector interface circuitry
July 21, 20046881094C31-D
Page 63
Theory of Operation: VOCON Board3-25
The Flipper IC contains a USB transceiver, switching logic between RS232 and boot data path, OneWire side connector support, and several clock generators. The Flipper IC is programmed by the
Patriot IC.
ESD protection devices include zener diodes and low-capacitance ESD suppressors.
Side connector interface circuitry includes current-limiting resistors and noise-suppressing shunt
capacitors.
3.2.4.1 Flipper IC U301
See Figure 8-64, “NTN9564B VOCON Flipper Circuit,” on page 8-99 for schematic details of the
following discussion.
The Flipper IC U301 is an application-specific, integrated circuit (ASIC) device designed for the XTSradio product line. The Flipper IC is contained in a 64-pin µBGA package with 0.8 mm pitch solder
balls. The Flipper IC is supplied with 5 volts and the processor’s GPIO voltage, and it uses the
16.8 MHz clock (C307) as its master clock. The Flipper IC is programmable by the Patriot IC through
the SPI bus.
The Flipper IC supports many functions including the radio side connector interface, bi-directional
logic level translation, boot data path control, USB transceiver, One-Wire option detect support,
watchdog timer, 32 kHz oscillator with CMOS output, 13 MHz reference generation for the GCAP II
IC, and SSI clock and frame sync generator.
3.2.4.1.1 Side Connector Interface, Logic Level Translation, and Boot Data Path Control
The Flipper IC facilitates the interface to the radio's side connector. Some of the side connector lines
are at 5 V logic levels, so the Flipper IC converts those lines to GPIO voltage logic levels to interface
to the Patriot IC, as well as the encryption module. These lines include the SB9600 bus busy line
LH_BUSY (TP207), the RS 232 CTS (TP208) and RTS (TP209) lines, the RS232 data-out line
(TP210), and the RS232 data-in line (TP211). The SB9600 data line uses an external, bi-directional,
voltage translation circuit that includes Q303, D301, R325, R326, and R327.
Another function that the Flipper IC provides with these lines is boot data path control. The boot data
path is as follows: boot data-in is multiplexed onto the RS232 data-out line while the boot data-out is
multiplexed with the SB9600 data line. This alternate data path is used only to Flash code into a
radio for the first time. The Patriot IC, through the SPI bus, controls this feature.
3.2.4.1.2 USB Transceiver
The USB transceiver, internal to the Flipper IC, is capable of transmitting and receiving serial data at
a rate of 12 megabits per second. The differential USB data comes from the side connector, through
the 22-ohm resistors R252 and R253 and the isolation switch Q301, and then to the USB_DPLUS
and USB_DMINUS pins on the Flipper IC. The USB receive interface from the Flipper IC to the
Patriot IC is as follows: USB_DPLUS routed to USB_VPI, USB_DMINUS routed to USB_VMI_RXD,
and the differential decoded data is output at the URXD_RTS pin and goes to the Patriot IC URTS1
pin.
The USB transmitter is enabled when the USB_SUSP and USB_TXENAB signals are both driven
low by the Patriot IC. The single-ended data is output from the Patriot IC on the UTXD1 pin and goes
to the Flipper TXD_USB_VPO pin. The data is driven out differentially on the USB_DPLUS and
USB_DMINUS pins, which go to the side connector. The Patriot IC sends the single-ended zero
signal from pin PC0_USB_VMOUT to the Flipper IC USB_FSEZ pin.
6881094C31-DJuly 21, 2004
Page 64
3-26Theory of Operation: VOCON Board
When a USB cable is detected, the USB_DIS pin (Q302 pin 2) goes high. This controls the isolation
switch Q301 so that the data that is on those lines are routed to the USB transceiver. If a USB cable
is not detected, the USB_DIS pin is low and the USB transceiver on the Flipper IC is isolated from
the side connector. This isolation is done primarily because the RS232 data lines are 5 V lines, so
the switch protects the transceiver since it operates at a lower voltage, and the USB data lines to the
side connector also act as the RS232 lines.
On the NNTN4717 VOCON board, the USB transceiver on the Flipper IC is not used. Instead, a
discrete USB transceiver U310 is used. This transceiver is provided with 5 V and 2.9 V. The 5 V
powers an internal 3.3 V voltage regulator on the transceiver, which is used as the voltage for the
USB data pins D+ an D- as well as the VPU pin. The 2.9 V is used by the remaining pins as they
interface to the dual-core processor U401.
3.2.4.1.3 One-Wire Support
New options and accessories that attach to the side connector are identified by the Patriot IC using
the One-Wire protocol. The Option Select 2 pin on the side connector also serves as the One-Wire
data pin (R218). This signal is connected to the ONE_WIRE_OPT pin. This pin is connected to the
Patriot IC One-Wire bus ONE_WIRE_UP through an internal isolation switch controlled by a Patriot
IC GPIO line to the Flipper IC ONE_WIRE_EN_X pin. This isolation is needed to prevent possible
contention on the One-Wire bus when a smart battery is attached to the radio.
These new accessories are to ground pin 10, CTS (TP208), of the side connector. When this occurs,
the Flipper IC pin KVL_USB_DET_X is asserted and the Patriot IC detects the change. The Patriot
IC then asserts the ONE_WIRE_EN_X pin on the Flipper IC to connect the side connector One-Wire
line to the Patriot IC One-Wire bus. In the case of the USB cable, the Patriot IC reads the One-Wire
data from the cable and, upon determining that a USB cable is attached, programs the Flipper IC for
USB mode.
3.2.4.1.4 Watchdog Timer
The Flipper IC monitors the position of the radio's On/Off switch on the BP_SEN_X pin, and that
signal is located on Q508 pin 3. If the voltage on pin 3 is ground, then the radio is turned on. If the
voltage on pin 3 is 3 volts, then the radio is off. When the radio is turned off, a counter inside the
Flipper IC begins incrementing. That counter can be refreshed by the Patriot IC through the SPI bus.
This is done so that the software has enough time to complete its tasks before the power is taken
away from the Patriot IC. If the counter is not refreshed by the time the count is complete, the Flipper
IC pin WD_OUT goes low, which shuts down the GCAP II voltage regulators. During normal radio
operation, WD_OUT should be high (V2 regulated voltage).
3.2.4.1.5 32 kHz Oscillator and CMOS output
The 32 kHz oscillator circuitry uses a separate voltage supply pin (VDD3_XTL) than the other 3-V
portions of the Flipper IC. This 32 kHz clock is used by the GCAP II RTC module to keep track of
time. The VDD3_XTS pin is supplied with the backup lithium (Li) rechargeable battery voltage
LI_CELL. The oscillator circuitry is internal to the Flipper IC, and the 32.768 kHz crystal Y301 and
additional load capacitors C308 and C309 are located next to the IC.
The output of the 32 kHz oscillator is an LI_CELL voltage (approximately 3 volts peak-to-peak),
32.768 kHz square wave on pin REF32_OUT. This clock goes to two destinations: the Patriot IC
CKIL pin (32 kHz test point) as a square wave and the GCAP II IC XTAL1 pin (C306) as a sine wave.
Components C306 and C313 are used to filter the square wave into a sine wave before the signal
goes to the GCAP II IC.

3.2.4.1.6 13 MHz Reference Generation for GCAP II
The 13 MHz reference is required by the GCAP II IC for the CODEC time base and the SSI clock
generator module internal to the Flipper IC. A phase locked loop (PLL) is used to generate the
13 MHz using the 16.8 MHz clock, which is provided to the Flipper IC REF_16_IN pin (C307). An
external RC loop filter network, consisting of R301, C301, and C302, is connected to the PLL_LFT
pin.
The 13 MHz reference output pin, REF_13_OUT, is conditioned by the RC network of R302 and
C303. The signal at REF_13_OUT is a 3-V peak-to-peak square wave, and the RC filter produces a
lower-level triangle wave that is suitable for the GCAP II IC.
The 13 MHz reference is disabled as the Flipper IC powers up. The 13 MHz reference is enabled by
the Patriot IC through the SPI bus, and, during normal radio operation, this signal should be present.
3.2.4.1.7 SSI Clock and Frame Sync Generator
The Flipper IC generates the SSI clock and frame sync signals for the SAP bus used by the Patriot
IC, GCAP II IC, and encryption module. These signals are generated from the 13 MHz reference.
The SSI clock output pin is labeled SSI_CLK, and the frequency is 520 kHz. The SSI frame sync
output pin is FRSYNC, and the frequency is 8 kHz. These signals are not active when the Flipper IC
comes out of reset, so they are programmed by the Patriot IC through the SPI bus.
The Flipper IC provides four 16-bit TDM slots per frame on the SAP bus. The first slot (slot 0) begins
immediately after the frame sync pulse, and this slot is used by the GCAP II IC. The SEC_SS_X pin
is active for the first 8 bits of the second slot (slot 1). This signal is used by the encryption module to
synchronize its input and output to the SSI frame. The other two slots are reserved for possible
design additions in the future.
On the NNTN4717 VOCON board, the Flipper IC is not programmed to generate the SSI clock, SSI
frame sync signal, or the secure slave select signal (SEC_SS_X); the dual-core processor U401
generates these signals.
3.2.4.2 ESD Protection Circuitry
See Figure 8-63, “NTN9564B VOCON Universal Connector Circuit,” on page 8-98 for schematic
details of the following discussion.
Several components on the VOCON board protect the circuitry from ESD. The side connector signal
lines have ESD protection components on them since they are exposed. These protection
components include:
• 5.6-V zeners VR205, VR206, VR220, and VR221 on the SB9600 lines, RS232 lines,
microphone lines, and option-select lines
• 12-V zeners VR201, VR203, and VR209 on the internal and external speaker audio lines
• 13-V zener VR204 on the OPTB+ line
• Low-capacitance ESD suppressors D203, D204, D205, and D206 on audio lines, USB data
lines, and option-select lines
There were also several protection diodes on lines connected to the Flipper IC. These include D302,
D303, D304, D305, D306, D307, and D308. ESD protection for the battery status line is provided by
a 5.6-V zener VR501.

3.2.4.3 Universal Connector Interface Circuitry
See Figure 8-63, “NTN9564B VOCON Universal Connector Circuit,” on page 8-98 for schematic
details of the following discussion.
Some important components on the universal connector interface are two op-amps. The first opamp, U201, is used as a comparator for the option-select 1 line. The comparator threshold is
determined by the voltage-divider network of R257 and R258. Similarly, the other op-amp, U202, is
used as a comparator for the option-select 2 line. The comparator threshold is determined by the
voltage-divider network of R240 and R243. The remaining components consist of current-limiting
serial resistors and noise-suppressing shunt capacitors.
3.2.4.3.1 Universal Connector and Option Selects
The universal connector is located on the side of the radio. It is the external port or interface to the
outside and is used for programming and interfacing to external accessories. The universal
connector connects to the VOCON board at connector J101 via a flex circuit that is routed inside the
external housing. Connections to the universal connector and J101 on the VOCON board are shown
in Figure 3-9 on page 3-28 and Figure 3-10 on page 3-28.

Most of the signals are extensions of circuits described in other areas of this manual. However, there
are two option select pins (see Table 3-5) used to configure special modes: Option Select 1 and
Option Select 2. These pins are controlled by accessories connected to the universal connector.
Table 3-5 outlines their functions as defined at the universal connector. In the case of the XTS

3.2.4.4 Display Module
An optional, integral, 96 pixels by 64 pixels, bit-mapped, liquid-crystal display (LCD) module is
available with either a 3 x 2 keypad with a navigational button (Model II radios) or 3 x 6 keypad with a
navigational button (Model III radios). The display module is connected to the VOCON board through
flex connector J301. The display module uses chip-on-film technology and is not field repairable.
3.2.4.4.1 7285726C01 Display Module
NOTE: The NTN9564 VOCON kit is only compatible with the 7285726C01 display module.
The 7285726C01 display module is controlled by the Patriot IC MCU core, which programs the
display through the EIM data lines D0 - D7 (pins 9 through 16, respectively), the display chip select
line (pin 5), the EIM read/write line (pin 8), and the EIM address 0 line (pin 7) that is used to select
the register to be programmed. The Patriot IC can reset the display module through pin 6. The
display is supplied with 1.8 V (B102) to pin 17 and 3.0 V (B101) to pin 18. Display backlighting is
controlled by the Patriot IC GPIO line BL_EN signal through components R140 and Q101. The LEDs
on the display module are powered by 5 V going through resistors R101, R102, R103, and R104.

the NNTN4819 VOCON kit is compatible only with the 7285726C03 display module. Check
the model charts for display part number compatibility with the NNTN4717 VOCON board.
The 7285726C02 and 7285726C03 display modules are controlled by the Patriot IC SPI bus, which
programs the display through the serial data line (pin 16), the serial clock line (pin 15), chip select
line (pin 5), and register select line (pin 7) that is used to select the register to be programmed. The
Patriot IC can reset the display module through pin 6. The display is supplied with GCAP II V2
regulated voltage (B101) to pins 17 and 18. Display backlighting is controlled by the Patriot IC GPIO
line BL_EN signal through components R140 and Q101. The LEDs on the display module are
powered by 5 V going through resistors R103 and R104.

3.2.4.5 Keypad Module
The keypad module is either a 6- x 3-button (Model III) or a 2- x 3-button (Model II) module with
backlighting.
The keypad module is connected to the VOCON board through flex connector J107. The keypad is
read though a row-and-column matrix made up of ROW1, ROW2, ROW3, ROW4, ROW5, ROW6,
and COL1, COL2, and COL3. When a key is pressed, a row and a column are connected to each
another. The Patriot IC determines a key press by a scanning algorithm. Each column line is
configured as an open drain output and pulled low. The Patriot IC then scans the row pins (each row
pin has an internal pull-up resistor). If a row signal is read low, then the Patriot IC determines that a
key was pressed. If none of the row signal lines are low, then another column line is pulled low and
the row scanning routine occurs.
The keypad backlighting is controlled by the Patriot IC GPIO BL_EN, and that signal goes to pin 6 of
the J107 connector. Pins 7 and 8 are supplied with 5 volts, which is used to power the LEDs on the
keypad module.
3.2.4.6 Controls and Control Top Flex
The universal flex assembly contains an On/Off switch/volume control knob, frequency selector
switch, push-to-talk (PTT) switch, monitor button, several function-selectable switches, universal
connector, speaker, and microphone.
The housing assembly top controls include the On/Off switch/volume control (S1), a 16-position
mode-select switch with programmable two-position concentric switch (U1), a programmable threeposition (A,B,C) toggle switch (S2), and a programmable top (orange) button (SW3). The side
controls include three programmable, momentary, pushbutton switches (side button 1 [SB2], side
button 2 [SB3], top side button [SB1]) and a PTT switch (SW2). These components are connected
through a flex circuit to the controller at J101 (see Table 3-11, “Control Top Flex,” on page 3-31). The
assembly also contains the radio's internal speaker and internal microphone.
UNSW_B+ is routed through switch S1 to provide the B+SENSE signal, which is used to activate the
SW_B+ and GCAP_B+ voltages that, in turn, power up the radio. Volume control is also provided by
S1, which contains a potentiometer biased between V2 regulated voltage and ground. The VOL
signal is a voltage level between V2 regulated voltage and ground, depending on the position of the
rotary knob. The VOL signal is fed to buffer U507 pin 3, and then the output of the buffer is voltagedivided down to 2.5 volts before the signal goes to the GCAP II IC AD5 pin. The Patriot IC reads the
GCAP II IC A/D value through the SPI bus, and from this reading, the Patriot IC DSP adjusts the
speaker volume.
Switch S2 is the three-position, programmable, toggle switch typically used for expanded
zone/channel selection. The switch can output the following voltages: 0 volts, half of the V2 regulated
voltage, or V2 regulated voltage (measurable at R231). The switch is connected to the GCAP II IC
AD1 input pin through the voltage divider network of R519 and R523. The Patriot IC reads the A/D
value through the SPI bus, and it uses that reading to determine the position of the toggle switch.
The programmable top (orange) button SW3 is typically used for emergency. This button, along with
programmable side buttons SB1 through SB3, is connected to a resistor divider network, biased
between V2 regulated voltage and ground. This network, made up of R1, R2, and R3, provides a
voltage level, controlled by whichever button is pressed, to pin 3 of buffer U504. The output of the
buffer is voltage- divided down to 2.5 volts before the signal goes to the GCAP II IC AD0 pin. The
Patriot IC reads the GCAP II IC A/D value through the SPI bus, and it uses that data to determine
which button was pressed.
LED D1 is the TX/RX indicator. LEDs D2 through D6 are used for backlighting the frequency knob.

U1 is a binary-coded switch. The output pins from U1, which are connected to GPIO pins on the
Patriot IC, provide a four-bit binary word (signals RTA0, RTA1, RTA2, and RTA3) to the MCU,
indicating to which of the 16 positions the rotary is set. This switch provides an additional output,
TG2, which is typically used for coded or clear mode selection. It is an input to the Patriot IC
TOUT8_PD4 GPIO pin. Selecting clear mode pulls this signal to a logic low, and it can be monitored
from R234.

3.2.4.7 System Clocks
The Patriot IC is supplied with two clocks. The first clock, a 16.8 MHz sine wave, comes from the RF
interface connector P201 pin 7. It is conditioned by the clock buffer circuit, which includes Q450,
Q451, L450, C450, C452, C452, R450, R451, R452, R453, R454, and R455. The output of this
buffer (C452) goes to the Patriot IC CKIH pin as well as the Flipper IC REF_16_IN (C307).
The other clock supplied to the Patriot IC is a 32.768 kHz square wave. This clock is generated by
the Flipper IC internal oscillator and an external 32.768 kHz crystal Y301 and is connected to the
Patriot IC CKIL pin.

3.2.5VOCON Audio Paths
This section describes the VOCON transmit and receive audio paths. See Figure 8-67, “NTN9564B
VOCON Audio and DC Circuits,” on page 8-102 for schematic details of the following discussion.
3.2.5.1 Transmit Audio Path
Refer to Figure 3-12. The internal microphone audio enters the VOCON board through the universal
connector J101 pin 36, and the internal microphone bias is set by circuitry that includes R531, R533,
C519 and C521. The internal microphone signal is connected to the MICIN_NEG pin, which is the
input terminal on the GCAP II IC internal op-amp A3. The gain of the A3 op-amp is set by the values
of R540, R555, and the resistance of EEPOT U509 (digital potentiometer), which is programmed by
Patriot IC GPIO lines.
The external microphone audio enters the VOCON board through the universal connector J101 pin
13, and the external microphone bias is set by circuitry that includes R563, R565, C547, and C548.
The external microphone signal is connected to the AUX_MIC_NEG pin, which is an input terminal
on the GCAP II IC internal op-amp A5. The gain of the A5 op-amp is set by the values of R566,
R561, and the resistance of the EEPOT U509.
The Patriot IC, through the SPI bus, programs a multiplexer to select one of the microphone signals.
Then, the selected amplified microphone signal goes through a programmable gain amplifier before
it goes to the CODEC for A/D conversion. The resulting digital data is filtered and sent to the DSP on
the SAP CODEC_TX line from the GCAP II IC TX pin. After additional filtering and processing, the
DSP sends the data-out from the STDB pin to the RF interface connector P201 pin 4 (TX_DATA),
which is connected to the DAC U203 on the transceiver board.

3.2.5.2 Receive Audio Path
Refer to Figure 3-13. The receive audio data comes from the Abacus III IC U500 through the RF
interface connector P201 pin 12 (RX_DATA) to the Patriot IC SRDB pin. The DSP decodes the data
and sends it out through the CODEC_RX line to the GCAP II IC RX pin. The CODEC filters and
converts the digital data into an analog audio signal, which, in turn, is sent to a programmable gain
amplifier. The Patriot IC programs a multiplexer to route the audio signal to the A4 amplifier, which
has a fixed gain of 3.5 dB. The output of the A4 amplifier is pin EXTOUT.
From the EXTOUT pin, the audio signal goes through the pre-amplifier U502 and then to the audio
power amplifier U503, which together provide approximately 30 dB of gain. The Patriot IC selects
whether the amplified audio is routed to the internal speaker or the external speaker.

3.2.6Radio Power-Up/Power-Down Sequence
The radio power-up sequence begins when the user closes the radio On/Off switch on the control
top, placing 7.5 Vdc on the B+SENSE line. This voltage enables the pass element Q501 and Q502,
enabling SW_B+ and GCAP_B+.
When the GCAP II IC U501 detects a low-to-high voltage transition on GCAP_B+, it turns on and
enables voltage supplies VSW1, VSW2, V2 and Vref. As soon as these voltages come up, the
1.55 V regulator ramps up (only on the NNTN4717 VOCON board), and the Flipper IC U301 drives
the WDI line high to enable VCC5 from regulator U505 and to maintain the GCAP II IC in the ON
state. If WDI remains low, the GCAP II IC turns off 50 ms after turning on.
6881094C31-DJuly 21, 2004
Figure 3-13. VOCON Receive Audio Path
Page 72
3-34Theory of Operation: Encryption Module
The radio power-down sequence begins by opening the radio On/Off switch, which removes the
B+SENSE signal from the VOCON board. This does not immediately remove power because the
GCAP II IC has control of Q502 through Vref, and U301 through WDI maintains the GCAP II IC in an
active state. Both the MCU and Flipper IC monitor B+SENSE. After B+SENSE is removed, the
Flipper IC waits 125 ms. before releasing WDI to allow for software cleanup; however, the software
has the ability to prolong this time if it was necessary to complete its operations. When WDI is
released, the GCAP II IC shuts down its supplies and the rest of the radio through Q501.
3.3Encryption Module
The encryption module (secure models only) connects directly to the VOCON board and interfaces
directly with the vocoder digital circuitry. It contains an independent microcontroller and two custom
ICs to perform digital, numerical, encryption algorithms.
The encryption modules are designed to digitally encrypt and decrypt voice and ASTRO data in
ASTRO XTS 5000 radios. This section covers the encryption modules, hardware kits NTN9738 and
NNTN5032.
NOTE: The encryption modules are NOT serviceable. The information contained in this section is
only intended to help determine whether a problem is due to a encryption module or the radio
itself.
The encryption module uses a custom encryption IC and an encryption key variable to perform its
encode/decode function. The encryption key variable is loaded into the encryption module, via the
radio's universal (side) connector, from a hand-held, key variable loader (KVL). The encryption IC
corresponds to the particular encryption algorithm purchased. Table 3-6 lists the encryption
algorithms and their corresponding kit numbers.

NTN9838DVI-XL
NTN9839DVP-XL
NNTN4197AES
NNTN4198AES with DES, DES-XL, DES-OFB
Algorithm
The encryption module operates from two power supplies (UNSW_B+ and SW_B+). The SW_B+ is
turned on and off by the radio's On/Off switch. The UNSW_B+ provides power to the encryption
module as long as the radio battery is in place.
Key variables are loaded into the encryption module through connector J701, pin 1. Depending on
the type of encryption module, up to 16 keys can be stored in the module at a time. The key can be
infinite key retention or 30-seconds key retention, depending on how the codeplug is set up.
The radio' s host processor communicates with the encryption module on the Synchronous Serial
Interface (SSI) bus. The SSI bus consists of five signal lines. A communications failure between the
host processor and the secure module will be indicated as an ERROR 09/10 message on the
display.
To troubleshoot the encryption module, refer to the flowcharts in Chapter 5 “Troubleshooting Charts.”

4.1Handling Precautions
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices, and other high-technology devices,
are used in this family of radios. While the attributes of these devices are many, their characteristics
make them susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD) or high-voltage charges.
Damage can be latent, resulting in failures occurring weeks or months later. Therefore, special
precautions must be taken to prevent device damage during disassembly, troubleshooting, and
repair. Handling precautions are mandatory for this radio, and are especially important in lowhumidity conditions. DO NOT attempt to disassemble the radio without observing the following
handling precautions.
disassemble the radio or troubleshoot a board without first
referring to the following Handling Precautions section.
1.Eliminate static generators (plastics, Styrofoam, etc.) in the work area.
2.Remove nylon or double-knit polyester jackets, roll up long sleeves, and remove or tie back
loose-hanging neckties.
3.Store and transport all static-sensitive devices in ESD-protective containers.
4.Disconnect all power from the unit before ESD-sensitive components are removed or inserted
unless otherwise noted.
5.Use a static-safeguarded workstation, which can be accomplished through the use of an antistatic kit (Motorola part number 01-80386A82). This kit includes a wrist strap, two ground
cords, a static-control table mat and a static-control floor mat.

4.3Voltage Measurement and Signal Tracing
It is always a good idea to check the battery voltage under load. This can be done by checking the
OPT_B+_VPP pin at the side connector (pin 4). The battery voltage should remain at or above
7.0 Vdc. If the battery voltage is less than 7.0 Vdc, then it should be recharged or replaced as
necessary prior to analyzing the radio.
In most instances, the problem circuit may be identified using a multimeter, an RF millivoltmeter,
oscilloscope (preferably with 100 MHz bandwidth or more), and a spectrum analyzer.
When checking a transistor or module, either in or out of
!
a u t i o
circuit, do not use an ohmmeter having more than 1.5 Vdc
appearing across test leads or use an ohms scale of less than
x100.

Each time the radio is turned on, the MCU and DSP perform a series of internal diagnostics. These
diagnostics consist of checking such programmable devices as the FLASH ROMs, the EEPROM,
and SRAM devices.
Problems detected during the power-up self-check routines are presented as error codes on the
radio’s display. For non-display radios, the problem is presented at power up by a single, lowfrequency tone. Table 4-3 lists possible error codes, a description of each error code, and a
recommended corrective action.

01/02This non-fatal error will likely recover if the radio's power is cycled. In the event that this
does not resolve the issue, the radio should be reflashed. As a last resort, the FLASH
ROM U402 should be replaced.
01/12The radio should be sent to the depot for reflashing of the security codeplug.
01/20Cycling radio power should resolve this issue.
01/22The radio should be sent to the depot for reflash of the tuning codeplug followed by
retuning of the radio.

01/82The radio should be sent to the depot for reflashing of the radio codeplug.
01/88Reflashing of the radio should first be performed. If this fails to resolve the issue, then
replacement of the SRAM U403 is necessary.
01/90Cycle power to radio. Continued failure indicates a likely IC failure (GCAP, PCIC,
FLIPPER, ABACUS). In this event, radio should be sent to the depot for isolation and
repair of the problem IC.

Chapter 5Troubleshooting Charts
This section contains detailed troubleshooting flowcharts. These charts should be used as a guide in
determining the problem areas. They are not a substitute for knowledge of circuit operation and
astute troubleshooting techniques. It is advisable to refer to the related detailed circuit descriptions in
the theory of operation sections prior to troubleshooting a radio.
5.1List of Troubleshooting Charts
Most troubleshooting charts (see Table 5-1) end up by pointing to an IC to replace. It is not always
noted, but it is good practice to verify supplies and grounds to the affected IC and to trace
continuity to the malfunctioning signal and related circuitry before replacing any IC. For
instance, if a clock signal is not available at a destination, continuity from the source IC should be
checked before replacing the source IC.
This signal may
contain harmonics
and, therefore, may
not appear as a
perfect sinewave.

Troubleshooting Charts: DC Supply Failure5-5
5.4DC Supply Failure—Page 1
NOTE: Since the failure of a critical voltage supply might cause the radio to automatically power
down, supply voltages should first be probed with a multimeter. If all the board voltages
are absent, then the voltage test point should be retested using a rising-edge-triggered
oscilloscope. If the voltage is still absent, then another voltage should be tested using the
oscilloscope. If that voltage is present, then the original voltage supply in question is
defective and requires investigation of associated circuitry.
