EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
Your Motorola Two-Way Radio, which generates and radiates radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy
(EME) is designed to comply with the following National and International Standards and Guidelines regarding
exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy:
l Federal Communications Commission Report and Order No. FCC 96-326 (August 1996)
l American National Standards Institute (C95.1 - 1992)
l National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP-1986)
l International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP- 1986)
l European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation (CENELEC):
Safety-1
ENV 50166-1 1995 EHuman exposure to electromagnetic fields Low
frequency (0 Hz to 10 kHz)
ENV 50166-2 1995 EHuman exposure to electromagnetic fields High

To assure optimal radio per fo rmance and to en sure that you r e xposure to ra dio freque ncy electro magnetic energ y
is within the guidelines in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures:
PORTABLE RADIO OPERATION AND EME EXPOSURE
l When transmitting with a portable radio, hold radio in a vertical position with the
microphone 2.5 to 5 centimeters (one or two inches) away from the mouth. Keep
antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (one inch) from your head or body when transmitting.
l If you wear a portable Two-Way radio on your body, ensure that the antenna is at
least 2.5 centimeters (one inch) from the body when transmitting.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
NOTE
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility
MAN WITH RADIO
l To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any fa cility where
posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospital or health facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to
external RF energy.
l When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accor-
dance with airline regulations or crew instructions.

C a u t i o n
Batteries
l All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as
jewelery, keys or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical
circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside a pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.
INTRINSICALLY SAFE RADIO INFORMATION
FMRC Approved Equipm en t
Anyone intending to use a radio in a location where hazardous concentrations of flammable material
exist (hazardous atmosphere) is advised to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic safety and
with the National Electric Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection Association) Article 500 (hazardous
[classified] locations).
An Approval Guide, issued by Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC), lists manufacturers and
the products approved by FMRC for use in such locations. FMRC has also issued a voluntary
approval standard for repair service (“Class Number 3605”).
FMRC Approval labels are attached to the radio to identify the unit as being FM Approved for
specified hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/Group along
with the part number of the battery that must be used. Depending on the design of the portable unit,
this FM label can be found on the back of the radio housing or the bottom of the radio housing.Their
Approval mark is shown below.
WARNING: Do not operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous atmosphere
unless it is a type especially qualified (e.g. FMRC Approved) for such use. An explosion or

WARNING: Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could
result in serious injury or death.
Safety-4
FMRC’s Approval Standard Class Number 3605 is subject to change at any time without notice to
you, so you may want to obtain a current copy of 3605 from FMRC. Per the December, 1994
publication of 3605, some key definitions and service requirements are as follows:
Repair
A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original
condition Approved by FMRC. A repair should be done in an FMRC Approved facility.
Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not
require the outer casing of the unit to be opened in a manner which exposes the internal electrical
circuits of the unit. You do not have to be an FMRC Approved Repair Facility to perform these actions.
Relabeling
The repair facility shall have a method by which the replacement of FMRC Approval labels are
controlled to ensure that any relabeling is limited to units that were originally shipped from the
Manufacturer with an FM Approval label in place. FMRC Approval labels shall not be stocked by the
repair facility. An FMRC Approval label shall be ordered from the original manufacturer as needed to
repair a specific unit. Replacement labels may be obtained and applied by the repair facility providing
satisfactory evidence that the unit being relabeled was originally an FMRC Approved unit. V erification
may include, but is not limited to: a unit with a damaged Approval label, a unit with a defective housing
displaying an Approval label, or a customer invoice indicating the serial number of the unit and
purchase of an FMRC Approved model.
Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories
The Motorola communications equipment certified by Factory Mutual is tested as a system and
consists of the FM Approved portable, FM Approved battery, and FM Approved accessories or
options, or both. This Approved portable and battery combination must be strictly observed. There
must be no substitution of items, even if the substitute has been previously Approved with a different
Motorola communications equipment unit. Approved configurations are listed in the FM Approval
guide published by FMRC, or in the product FM Supplement. This FM Supplement is shipped with FM
Approved radio and battery combination from the manufacturer. The Approval guide, or the Approval
standard Class Number 3605 document for repairs and service, can be ordered directly through

Theory of Operation
2.1Overview
This chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the radio and its components. The radio is
designed as a single board unit consisting of a transmitter, receiver , and controller circuits. The board
also accepts one additional option board that can provide functions such as secure voice/data, voice
storage, or a signalling decoder.
A control head mounted directly on the front of the radio or remotely connected by an extension
cable provides a user interface for controlling the various features of the radio.The control head
contains, LED indicators, microphone connector, and buttons depending on the radio type, display,
and speaker.
If a control head is not mounted directly on the front of the radio, an expansion board containing
circuits for special applications can be mounted in its place on the front of the radio. An additional
control head may be connected using an extension cable.
The rear of the radio provides connections for a power, antenna, and accessory cable. The
accessory cable provides connections for items such as an external speaker, emergency switch, foot
operated PTT, and ignition sensing, etc.

2.2Controller
The radio controller, shown in Figure 2-1, is divided into three main functions:
n
Digital control
n
Audio processing
n
Voltage regulation.
The digital control section of the radio consists of a microprocessor (µP), support memory, support
logic, signal MUX ICs, on/off circuit, and general purpose input/output circuits.

The dc power distribution throughout the radio board is shown in Figure 2-2. Voltage regulation for
the controller is provided by four separate devices:
n
U0651 (MC78M05) +5 volts
n
U0641 (LM2941) +9.3 volts
n
U0611 (LM2941) +12 volts

Additional 5 volt regulator located in the RF section.
The dc voltage applied to connector J0601 supplies power directly to the following:

RF power amplifier
n
12 volt regulator
n
9.3 volt regulator
n
Audio PA
n
5.6 volt stabilization circuit
n
9.3 volt regulator (U0641) supplies power to the 5 volt regulator (U0651) and 6 volt voltage
divider Q0681
Regulator U0641 generates the 9.3 volts required by some audio circuits, the RF and power control
circuits. Input and output capacitors C0641 and C0644 / C0645 are used to reduce high frequency
noise. Resistors R0642 / R0643 set the output voltage of the regulator. If the voltage at pin 1 is
greater than 1.3 volts the regulator output decreases and if the voltage is less than 1.3 volts the
regulator output increases. This regulator output is enabled by a 0 volt signal on pin 2. Transistors
Q0661, Q0641, and R0641 are used to disable the regulator when the radio is turned off.
Voltage regulator U0651 provides 5 volts operating voltage for the digital circuits. Operating voltage
is from the regulated 9.3volts supply. Input and output capacitors (C0651 / C0652 and C0654 /
C0655) reduce high frequency noise and provide proper operation during battery transients. Voltage
sense device U0652 or alternatively U0653 provides a reset output that goes to 0 volts if the
regulator output goes below 4.5 volts. This resets the controller to prevent improper operation. Diode
D0651 prevents discharge of C0652 by negative spikes on the 9.3 volt supply.
Transistor Q0681 and resistors R0681 / R0682 divide the regulated 9.3 volts down to about 6 volts.
This voltage supplies the 5 volt regulator, located on the RF section. By reducing the supply voltage
of the regulator, the power dissipation is divided between the RF section and the controller section.
The VSTBY signal, derived directly from the supply voltage by components R0621 and VR0621,
buffers the internal RAM. Capacitor C0622 allows the battery voltage to be disconnected for several
seconds without losing RAM information. Dual diode D0621 prevents radio circuits from discharging
this capacitor. When the supply voltage is applied to the radio, C0622 is charged via R0621 and
D0621. When the radio is switched on, the µP enters the wrong mode if the voltage across C0622 is
still too low. The regulated 5 volts charges C0622 via diode D0621.

The INT SW B+ voltage from switching transistor Q0661 provides power to the circuit controlling the
audio PA output. The voltage is monitored by the µP through voltage divider R0671/R0672 and the
line battery voltage. Diode VR0671 limits the divided voltage to 5.6 volts to protect the µP.
Regulator U0611 generates the voltage for the switched supply voltage output (SWB+) at accessory
connector J0501, pin 13. U0611 operates as a switch with voltage and current limit. Resistors
R0611/R0612 set the maximum output voltage to 16.5 volts. This limitation is only active at high
supply voltage levels. The regulator output is enabled by a 0 volt signal at Q0661, pin 2. Q0641 and
R0641 disable the regulator when the radio is turned off. Input and output capacitors C0603 and
C0611/C0612 reduce high frequency noise.
Diode VR0601 protects against transients and reverse polarity of the supply voltage.
2.2.2Automatic On/Off
The radio software and/or external triggers turn the radio on or off without direct user action. For
example, automatic turn on when ignition is sensed and off when ignition is off.
Q0661 provides the INT SW B+ voltage to the various radio circuits and to enable the voltage
regulators via transistor Q0641 which contains a pnp and an npn transistor that provide an electronic
on/off switch. The switch is on when the collector of the npn transistor within Q0661 is low . When the
radio is off the collector is at supply voltage level. This effectively prevents current flow from emitter to
collector of the pnp transistor. When the radio is turned on the voltage at the base of the npn
transistor is pulled high and the pnp transistor switches on (saturation). With the INT SWB+ voltage
now at supply voltage level, transistor Q0641 pulls pin 2 of the voltage regulators U0611 and U 0641
to ground level, enabling their outputs.
The electronic on/off circuits are enabled by the µP through ASFIC CMP port GCB2, line DC
POWER ON, emergency switch (line EMERGENCY CONTROL), the mechanical On/Off/Volume
knob on the control head (line ON OFF CONTROL), or the ignition sense circuits (line IGNITION
CONTROL). If any of the four paths cause a low at the collector of the npn transistor within Q0661,
the electronic "ON" is engaged.
2-4Theory of Operation
2.2.3Emergency
The emergency switch (J0501, pin 9), when engaged, grounds the base of Q0662 via the
EMERGENCY CONTROL line. This switches Q0662 off and resistor R0662 pulls the collector of
Q0662 and the base of Q0663 to levels above two volts. Transistor Q0663 then switches on and pulls
the collector of the npn transistor within Q0661 to ground level This enables the voltage regulators
via Q0641. When the emergency switch is released, R0541 pulls the base of Q0662 up to 0.6 volts
causing the collector of transistor Q0662 to go low (0.2 volts), switching Q0663 off.
While the radio is on, the µP monitors the voltage at the emergency input on the accessory
connector via pin 60 and the GP5 IN ACC9 line. Three different conditions can exit: no emergency,
emergency, and open connection to the emergency switch. If no emergency switch is connected or
the connection to the emergency switch is broken, the resistive divider R0541/R0512 sets the
voltage to about 4.7 volts. If an emergency switch is connected, a resistor to ground within the
emergency switch reduces the voltage on line GP5 IN ACC9 to inform the µP that the emergency
switch is operational. An engaged emergency switch pulls line GP5 IN ACC9 to ground level. Diode
D0179 limits the voltage to protect the µP input.
While the EMERGENCY CONTROL signal is low and INT SW B+ is on, the µP starts execution,
reads that the emergency input is active through the voltage lev el of line GP5 IN ACC9, and sets the
DC POWER ON output of the ASFIC CMP, pin 13 to a logic high. This keeps Q0661 and Q0641
switched to allow a momentary press of the emergency switch to power up the radio. When the µP
has finished processing the emergency press, it sets the DC POWER ON line to a logic 0. This turns
off Q0661 and the radio turns off. Notice that the µP is alerted to the emergency condition via line
GP5 IN ACC9. If the radio is already on when the emergency is triggered, the DC POWER ON signal
is already high.
2.2.4Mechanical On/Off
This refers to the on/off/volume knob located on the control head which is used to turn the radio on
and off and control the volume.
If the radio is turned off and the on/off/volume knob is pressed, line ON OFF CONTROL (J0401, pin
11) goes high and switches the radio’ s voltage regulators on as long as the button is pressed. The µP
is alerted through line ON OFF SENSE (U0101, pin 6) which is pulled to low by Q0110 while the on/
off/volume knob is pressed. In addition, an interrupt is generated at µP, pin 96. The µP asserts line
DC POWER ON via ASFIC CMP, pin 13 high which keeps the radio switched on. The µP switches
the radio off by setting DC POWER ON to low via ASFIC CMP pin 13.
2.2.5Ignition
Ignition sense prevents the radio from draining the vehicle’s battery because the engine is not
running.
When the IGNITION input (J0501, pin 10) goes above 5 volts, Q0661 is turned on via line IGNITION
CONTROL. Q0661 turns on INT SW B+ and the voltage regulators by turning on Q0641 and the µP
starts ex ecution. The µP is alerted through line GP6 IN ACC10. While the on/off button is pressed, a
high signal turns Q0181 on, which pulls µP, pin 74 to low. If the software detects a low state it asserts
DC POWER ON via ASFIC, pin 13 high which keeps Q0661 and Q0641 and the radio switched on.
When the IGNITION input goes below 3 volts, Q0181 switches off and R0181 pulls µP, pin 74 to high.
This alerts the software to switch off the radio by setting DC POWER ON to low. The next time the
IGNITION input goes above 5 volts the above process is repeated.
Theory of Operation2-5
2.2.6Microprocessor Clock Synthesizer
The clock source for the µP system is generated by the ASFIC CMP (U0221). Upon power-up the
synthesizer IC (FRAC-N) generates a 16.8 MHz waveform that is routed from the RF section to the
ASFIC CMP, pin 34. For the main board controller the ASFIC CMP uses 16.8 MHz as a reference
input clock signal for its internal synthesizer. The ASFIC CMP, in addition to the audio circuit, has a
programmable synthesizer which can generate a synthesized signal ranging from 1200Hz to
32.769MHz in 1200Hz steps.
When power is first applied, the ASFIC CMP generates its default 3.6864MHz CMOS square wave
UP CLK (on U0221, pin 28) and this is routed to the µP (U0101, pin 90). After the µP starts
operation, it reprograms the ASFIC CMP clock synthesizer to a higher UP CLK frequency (usually
7.3728 or 14.7456 MHz) and continues operation.
The ASFIC CMP may be reprogrammed to change the clock synthesizer frequencies at various
times depending on the software features that are executing. In addition, the clock frequency of the
synthesizer is changed in small amounts if there is a possibility of harmonics of this clock source
interfering with the desired radio receive frequency.
The ASFIC CMP synthesizer loop uses C0245, C0246 and R0241 to set the switching time and jitter
of the clock output. If the synthesizer cannot generate the required clock frequency it switches back
to its default 3.6864MHz output.
Because the ASFIC CMP synthesizer and the µP do not operate without the 16.8 MHz reference
clock, the synthesizer and the voltage regulators should be checked first in debugging the system.
The µP uses crystal oscillator Y0131 and associated components to form a real time clock used to
display the time on control heads (with display) or as time stamp for incoming calls or messages. The
real time clock is powered from the voltage VSTBY to keep running while the radio is switched off. If
the radio is disconnected from the supply voltage, the time must be reset.
2.2.7Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The µP communicates to many of the IC’s through its SPI port. This port consists of SPI TRANSMIT
DATA (MOSI) (U0101, pin 100), SPI RECEIVE DATA (MISO) (U0101, pin 99), SPI CLK (U0101, pin
1) and chip select lines going to the various ICs. The BUS is a synchronous bus, in that the timing
clock signal CLK is sent while SPI data (SPI TRANSMIT or RECEIVE) is sent. Therefore, whenever
there is activity on either SPI TRANSMIT DATA or SPI RECEIVE DATA there should be a uniform
signal on CLK.
The SPI TRANSMIT DATA sends serial data from the µP to a device, and SPI RECEIVE DATA is
sends data from a device to the µP. On the controller there are two ICs on the SPI BUS: ASFIC CMP
(U0221, pin 22), and EEPROM (U0111, pin 5). In the RF section there are two ICs on the SPI BUS:
FRAC-N Synthesizer, and the Power Control IC (PCIC). The SPI TRANSMIT DATA and CLK lines
going to the RF section are filtered by L0481/R0481 and L0482/R0482 to minimize noise. The chip
select line CSX from U0101, pin 2 is shared by the ASFIC CMP, FRAC-N Synthesizer, and PCIC.
Each of these IC‘s check the SPI data and when the sent address information matches the IC’s
address, the data that follows is processed. The chip select lines for the EEPROM (EE CS), voice
storage (VS CS), expansion board (EXP1 CS, EXP2 CS) and option board (OPT CS) are decoded
by the address decoder U0141.
When the µP needs to program any of these IC’s it brings the chip select line CSX to a logic 0 and
then sends the proper data and clock signals. The amount of data sent varies, for example the
ASFIC CMP can receive up to 19 bytes (152 bits) while the PCIC can receive up to 6 bytes (48 bits).
After the data is sent, the chip select line is returned to logic 1.
2-6Theory of Operation
The option board interfaces are different in that the µP can also read data back from devices
connected.The timing and operation of this interface is specific to the option connected, but the
general pattern is as follows:
n
Option board generates a service request via J0551, pin 29, line RDY, and µP, pin 79
n
The main board asserts a chip select for that option board via U0141,pin 14, line OPT CS,
J0551,pin 30
n
The main board µP generates the CLK (J0551, pin 3)
n
The main board µP writes serial data via J0551, pin 15 and reads serial data via J0551, pin 16
n
When data transfer is complete the main board terminates the chip select and CLK activity
2.2.8SBEP Serial Interface
The SBEP serial interface allows the radio to communicate with the Customer Programming
Software (CPS), or the universal tuner via the Radio Interface Box (RIB). This interface connects to
the microphone connector via control head connector (J0401, pin 8) or to the accessory connector
J0401, pin 17 and comprises BUS+. The line is bi-directional, meaning that either the radio or the
RIB can drive the line. The µP sends serial data via pin 98 and D0101 and it reads serial data via pin
97. Whenever the µP detects activity on the BUS+ line, it starts communication.
In addition, the SBEP serial interface is used to communicate with a connected control head. When a
control head key is pressed or the volume knob is rotated, the line ON OFF CONTROL goes high.
This turns on transistor Q0110 which pulls line ON OFF SENSE and µP, pin 6 to ground level. In
addition, an interrupt is generated via R0109 (for SELECT 5 / MDC models) or R0128, U0125, pins
17/26 (for MPT models) and µP, pin 96. This indicates that the control head wants to start SBEP
communication. The µP then reads the registers of the Universal Asynchronous Receiver T r ansmitter
(UART) U0125 to determine whether the interrupt source was the control head or the UART (MPT
models only). If the interrupt source was from the control head, the µP requests the data from the
control head. The control head starts sending and after all data has been sent, the ON OFF
CONTROL line goes low. The control head ignores any data on BUS+ during SBEP communication
with the CPS or universal tuner.
2.2.9General Purpose Input/Output
The controller provides eight general purpose lines (DIG1 through DIG8) available on the accessory
connector J0501 to interface the external options. Lines DIG IN 1,3,5,6, are inputs, DIG OUT 2 is an
output and DIG IN OUT 4,7,8 are bidirectional. The software and the hardware of the radio model
define the function of each port.
DIG IN 1 can be used as external PTT input or others, set by the CPS. The µP reads this port via pin
77 and Q0171.
DIG OUT 2 can be used as normal output or external alarm output, set by the CPS. Transistor Q0173
is controlled by the µP via ASFIC CMP, pin 14.
DIG IN 3 is read by µP, pin 63 via resistor R0176
DIG IN 5 can be used as normal input or emergency input, set by the CPS. The µP reads this port via
R0179 and µP, pin 60. Diode D0179 limits the voltage to protect the µP input.
DIG IN 6 can be used as normal input, set by the CPS. The µP reads this port via, pin 74 and Q0181.
DIG IN OUT 4,7,8 are bidirectional and use the same circuit configuration. Each port uses an output
transistor Q0177, Q0183, Q0185 controlled by µP, pins 46, 47, 53. The ports are read by µP, pins 75,
54, 76. To use one of the ports as input the µP must turn off the corresponding output transistor.
In addition the signals from DIG IN 1, DIG IN OUT 4 are fed to the option board connector J0551 and
the expansion board connector J0451.
Theory of Operation2-7
2.2.10 Normal Microprocessor Operation
The µP is configured to operate in one of two modes: expanded or bootstrap. In expanded mode, the
µP uses external memory devices to operate. In bootstrap mode, the µP uses only its internal
memory.
During normal operation of the radio, the µP is operating in expanded mode and the µP (U0101) has
access to three external memory devices: U0121 (EEPROM), U0122 (SRAM), and U0111
(EEPROM). Also, within the µP there are three KBs of internal RAM, as well as logic to select
external memory devices.
The external EEPROM (U0111) space contains the information in the radio which is customer
specific, referred to as the codeplug. This information consists of items such as:
n
Band in which the radio operates
n
What frequencies are assigned to what channel
n
Tuning information.
The external SRAM (U0122) as well as the µP’s own internal RAM space are used for temporary
calculations required by the software during execution. All of the data stored in both of these
locations is lost when the radio powers off (See the particular device subsection for more details).
The µP provides an address bus of 16 address lines (ADDR 0 - ADDR 15), and a data bus of eight
data lines (DATA 0 - DATA 7). There are also three control lines: CSPROG (U0101, pin 38) to chip
select U0121, pin 30 (EEPROM), CSGP2 (U0101, pin 41) to chip select U0122, pin 20 (SRAM) and
PG7 R W (U0101, pin 4) to select whether to read or to write. The external EEPROM (U0111,pin 1),
the OPTION BOARD and EXPANSION BOARD are selected by three lines of the µP using address
decoder U0141. The chips ASFIC CMP / FRAC-N / PCIC are selected by line CSX (U0101, pin 2).
When the µP is functioning normally, the address and data lines are toggling at CMOS logic levels.
Specifically, the logic high levels should be between 4.8 to 5.0 volts, and the logic low levels should
be between 0 to 0.2 volts. No other intermediate levels should be observed, and the rise and fall
times should be <30ns.
The low-order address lines (ADDR 0 - ADDR 7) and the data lines (DATA 0-DATA 7) should be
toggling at a high rate, e. g., you should set your oscilloscope sweep to 1µs/div. or faster to observe
individual pulses. High speed CMOS transitions should also be observed on the µP control lines.On
the µP the lines XIRQ (U0101, pin 48), MODA LIR (U0101, pin 58), MODB VSTPY (U0101, pin 57)
and RESET (U0101, pin 94) should be high at all times during normal operation. Whenever a data or
address line becomes open or shorted to an adjacent line, a common symptom is that the RESET
line goes low periodically, with the period being in the order of 20msecs. In the case of shorted lines
you may also detect the line periodically at an intermediate level, i.e. around 2.5 volts when two
shorted lines attempt to drive to opposite rails.
The MODA LIR (U0101, pin 58) and MODB VSTPY (U0101, pin 57) inputs to the µP must be at a
logic 1 for it to start executing correctly . After the µP starts execution it periodically pulses these lines
to determine the desired operating mode. While the central processing unit (CPU) is running, MODA
LIR is an open-drain CMOS output which goes low whenever the µP begins a new instruction. One
instruction typically requires 2-4 external bus cycles, or memory fetches.
There are eight analog-to-digital converter ports (A/D) on U0101 labelled within the device block as
PE0-PE7. These lines sense the voltage level ranging from 0 to 5V of the input line and convert that
level to a number ranging from 0 to 255 which is read by the software to take appropriate action.
For example U0101, pin 67 is the battery voltage detect line. R0671 and R0672 form a resistor
divider on INT SWB+. With 30K and 10K and a voltage range of 11V to 17V, that A/D port is 2.74V to
4.24V which is then be converted to ~140 to 217 respectively.
2-8Theory of Operation
U0101-69 is the high reference voltage for the A/D ports on the µP. Capacitor C0101 filters the +5
volt reference. If this voltage is lower than +5 volt, the A/D reading is incorrect. Likewise U0101, pin
68 is the low reference for the A/D ports. This line is normally tied to ground. If this line is not
connected to ground, the A/D readings could be incorrect.
2.2.11 Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)
The SRAM (U0121) contains temporary radio calculations or parameters that can change very
frequently, and which are generated and stored by the software during its normal operation. The
information is lost when the radio is turned off.
The device allows an unlimited number of write cycles. SRAM accesses are indicated by the CS
signal U0122, pin 20 which is the result of U0101-CSGP2 going low. U0122 is commonly referred to
as the external RAM as opposed to the internal RAM which is the 3 KBs of RAM (part of the
68HC11FL0). Both RAM spaces serve the purpose. However, the internal RAM is used for the
calculated values which are accessed most often.
Capacitor C0122 filters out any ac noise which may ride on +5V at U0122.
2.3Controller Board Audio and Signalling Circuits
2.3.1Audio Signalling Filter IC with Compander (ASFIC CMP)
The ASFIC CMP (U0221) used in the controller has the four following functions:
n
RX/TX audio shaping, i.e. filtering, amplification, attenuation
n
RX/TX signalling, PL/DPL/HST/MDC/MPT
n
Squelch detection
n
µP clock signal generation
The ASFIC CMP is programmable through the SPI BUS (U0221-20/21/22), normally receiving 19
bytes. This programming sets up various paths within the ASFIC CMP to route audio and/or
signalling signals through the appropriate filtering, gain, and attenuator blocks. The ASFIC CMP also
has six general control bits (GCB0-5) which are CMOS level outputs and used for NOISE BLANKER
(GCB0) in low band radios, EXTERNAL ALARM (GCB1), and DC POWER ON (GCB2) to switch the
voltage regulators (and the radio) on and off. GCB3 controls U0251, pin 11 to output either RX FLAT
AUDIO or RX FILTERED AUDIO on the accessory connector, pin 11. GCB4 controls U0251, pin 10
to use either the external microphone input or the voice storage playback signal. GCB5 switches the
audio PA on and off.

The radio supports two microphone input paths. One from the control head external microphone
accessory connector J0501, pin 2, and one from the microphone auxiliary path (FLAT TX AUDIO) via
accessory connector J0501, pin 5. The microphones require a DC biasing voltage provided by a
resistive network.

SECTION
(SYNTHESIZER)
The two microphone audio input paths enter the ASFIC CMP at U0221, pin 48 (external microphone)
and U0221, pin 46 (auxiliary microphone).
The microphone is plugged into the radio control head which is connected to the controller board via
J0401, pin 9. The signal is then routed via R0409 and line INT MIC to R0205. Resistors R0201 and
R0202 provide 9.3Vdc bias. Resistive divider R0205/R0207 divide the input signal by 5.5 and provide
input protection for the CMOS amplifier input. R0202 and C0201 provide a 560 ohm AC path to
ground that sets the input impedance for the microphone and determines the gain based on the
emitter resistor in the microphone’s amplifier circuit.
Capacitor C0204 provides dc blocking. The audio signal at U0221, pin 46 (TP0221) is approximately
14mV for 1.5kHz or 3kHz of deviation with 12.5kHz or 25kHz channel spacing.
The external microphone signal enters the radio on accessory connector J0501, pin 5, then it is
routed via line EXT MIC to resistor R0206. Resistors R0201 and R0204 provide a 9.3Vdc bias.
Resistive divider R0206 / R0208 divide the input signal by 5.5 and provide input protection for the
CMOS amplifier input. R0204 and C0201 provide a 560 ohm AC path to ground that sets the input
impedance for the microphone and determines the gain based on the emitter resistor in the
microphone’s amplifier circuit. Capacitor C0254 provides dc blocking.
2-10Theory of Operation
Multi switch U0251 controlled by ASFIC CMP port GCB4 selects either the external microphone
input signal or the voice storage playback signal for entering the ASFIC CMP at pin 48. The audio
signal at U0221-48 (TP0222) is approximately 14mVrms for 1.5kHz or 3kHz of deviation with
12.5kHz or 25kHz channel spacing.
The FLAT TX AUDIO signal from accessory connector J0501-5 is fed to the ASFIC CMP (U0221, pin
42) through C0541 and line FLAT TX RTN.
The ASFIC has an internal AGC that controls the gain in the microphone audio path. The AGC can
be disabled/enabled by the µP. Another feature that can be enabled/disabled in the ASFIC is the
VOX. This circuit, along with the capacitor at U0221, pin 7, provides a dc voltage allows the µP to
detect microphone audio. The ASFIC can also be programmed to route the microphone audio to a
speaker for public address operation.
2.3.3.1 PTT Sensing and TX Audio Processing
The microphone PTT signal coming from the control head is sent via the SBEP bus to the µP. An
external PTT can be generated by grounding pin 3 on the accessory connector if this input is
programmed for PTT by the CPS. When microphone PTT is sensed, the µP always configures the
ASFIC CMP for the "internal" microphone audio path, and external PTT results in the external
microphone audio path being selected.
Inside the ASFIC CMP, the microphone audio is filtered to eliminate frequency components outside
the 300-3000Hz voice band, and pre-emphasized if pre-emphasis is enabled. The signal is then
limited to prevent the transmitter from over deviating. The limited microphone audio is then routed
through a summer, which is used to add in signalling data, and then to a splatter filter to eliminate
high frequency spectral components that could be generated by the limiter. The audio is then routed
to an attenuator, which is tuned in the factory or the field to set the proper amount of FM deviation.
The TX audio emerges from the ASFIC CMP at U0221-40 MOD IN, at which point it is routed to the
RF section.
2.3.3.2 TX Secure Audio (optional)
The audio follows the normal transmit audio processing until it emerges from the ASFIC CMP TX
SND pin (U0221-44), which is fed to the Secure board residing at option connector J0551-33. The
Secure board contains circuits to amplify, encrypt, and filter the audio. The encrypted signal is then
fed back from J0551-32 to the ASFIC CMP TX RTN input (U0221-36). The signal level at this pin
should be about 65mVrms. The signal is then routed through the TX path in the ASFIC CMP and
emerges at MOD IN pin 40.
2.3.3.3 Option Board Transmit Audio
The audio follows the normal transmit audio processing until it emerges from the ASFIC CMP TX
SND pin (U0221-44), which is fed to the option board residing at option connector J0551-33. The
option board contains circuits to process the audio. The processed signal is then fed back from
J0551-32 to the ASFIC CMP TX RTN input (U0221-36). The signal level at this pin is approximately
65mVrms. The signal is then routed through the TX path in the ASFIC CMP and out at MOD IN, pin
40.
Theory of Operation2-11
2.3.4Transmit Signalling Circuits
Refer to Figure 2-4 for the descriptions that follow.
Figure 2-4. Transmit Signalling Paths
The three types of transmit signalling paths are as follows:
•Sub-audible data (PL/DPL/connect tone) summed with transmit voice or signalling
•DTMF data for telephone communication between trunked and conventional systems
•Audible signalling
NOTE
All three types are supported by the hardware while the radio software determines which
signalling type is available.
2.3.4.1 Sub-Audible Data (PL/DPL)
Sub-audible data implies signalling whose frequency/data rate is below 300Hz. PL and DPL
waveforms are used for conventional operation and connect tones for trunked voice channel
operation. The trunking connect tone is simply a PL tone at a higher deviation level than PL in a
conventional system. Although it is referred to as "sub-audible data," the actual frequency spectrum
of these waveforms may be as high as 250 Hz, which is audible to the human ear. Howe v er , the radio
receiver filters out any audio below 300Hz, so these tones are never heard in the actual system.
Only one type of sub-audible data can be generated by U0221 (ASFIC CMP) at any one time. The
process is as follows, using the SPI BUS, the µP programs the ASFIC CMP to set up the proper lowspeed data deviation and select the PL or DPL filters. The µP then generates a square wave which
strobes the ASFIC PL / DPL encode input LSIO U0221-18 at twelve times the desired data rate. For
example, for a PL frequency of 103Hz, the frequency of the square wave is 1236Hz.
This drives a tone generator inside U0221 which generates a staircase approximation to a PL sine
wave or DPL data pattern. This internal wavef orm is then low-pass filtered and summed with voice or
data. The resulting summed waveform then appears on U0221-40 (MOD IN), where it is sent to the
RF board as previously described for transmit audio. A trunking connect tone would be generated in
the same manner as a PL tone.
2-12Theory of Operation
2.3.4.2 High Speed Data
High speed data refers to the 3600 baud data waveforms, known as inbound signalling words (ISWs)
used in a trunking system for high speed communication between the central controller and the
radio. To generate an ISW, the µP first programs the ASFIC CMP (U0221) to the proper filter and
gain settings. It then begins strobing U0221-19 (HSIO) with a pulse when the data is supposed to
change states. U0221’s 5-3-2 state encoder, which is in a 2-state mode, is then fed to the post-limiter
summer block and then the splatter filter. From that point, it is routed through the modulation
attenuators and then out of the ASFIC CMP to the RF board. MPT 1327 and MDC are generated in
much the same way as trunking ISW. However, in some cases these signals may also pass through
a data pre-emphasis block in the ASFIC CMP. Also these signalling schemes are based on sending
a combination of 1200 Hz and 1800 Hz tones only. Microphone audio is muted during high speed
data signalling.
2.3.4.3 Dual Tone Multiple Frequency (DTMF) Data
DTMF data is a dual tone waveform used during phone interconnect operation. It is the same type of
tones which are heard when using a "Touch Tone" telephone.
There are seven frequencies, with four in the low group (697, 770, 852, 941Hz) and three in the high
group (1209, 1336, 1477Hz).
The high-group tone is generated by the µP (U0101-44) strobing U0221-19 at six times the tone
frequency for tones less than 1440Hz or twice the frequency for tones greater than 1440Hz. The low
group tone is generated by the ASFIC CMP, controlled by the µP via SPI bus. Inside U0221 the lowgroup and high-group tones are summed (with the amplitude of the high group tone being
approximately 2 dB greater than that of the low group tone) and then pre-emphasized before being
routed to the summer and splatter filter. The DTMF waveform then follows the same path as
described for high-speed data

2.3.5.1 Squelch Detect
The squelch detect circuits are all contained within the ASFIC CMP as shown in Figure 2-5. The
radio’s RF circuits are constantly producing an output (DISC AUDIO) at the discriminator IF IC. The
output signal is applied to the ASFIC CMP’s squelch detect circuits DISC input (U0221, pin 2). The
squelch signal entering the ASFIC CMP is amplified, filtered, attenuated, and rectified. It is then sent
to a comparator to produce an active high signal (CH ACT). The squelch circuit produces the SQ
DET signal at U0221, pin 17 from the CH ACT input signal. The state of CH ACT and SQ DET go
from a low (logic 0) to a high (logic 1) when an RF carrier is detected. The CH ACT and SQ DET
signals from the squelch circuit are applied to the µP pins 84 and 83 respectively.
SQ DET is used to determine all audio mute/unmute decisions except for conventional scan. In this
case CH ACT is a pre-indicator as it occurs slightly faster than SQ DET.

2.3.5.2 Audio Processing and Digital Volume Control
The receiver audio signal (DISC AUDIO) enters the controller section from the IF IC where it is AC
coupled by C0227 before entering the ASFIC CMP via the DISC input at U0221, pin 2. The signal is
then applied to both the audio and the PL/DPL paths.
The signal on the audio path is applied to a programmable amplifier, whose setting is based on the
channel bandwidth being received, an LPF filter to remove any frequency components above
3000Hz, and HPF filter to strip off any sub-audible data below 300Hz. The recovered audio passes
through a de-emphasis filter, if it is enabled, to compensate for pre-emphasis which is used to reduce
the effects of FM noise. The audio then goes through the 8-bit programmable attenuator whose level
is set depending on the value of the volume control. The resulting filtered audio signal is passed
through an output buffer within the ASFIC CMP and exits the ASFIC CMP at the AUDIO output
(U0221, pin 41).
The µP programs the attenuator, using the SPI BUS, based on the volume setting. The minimum/
maximum settings of the attenuator are set by codeplug parameters.
Since sub-audible signalling is summed with voice information on transmit, it must be separated from
the voice information before processing. Any sub-audible signal enters the ASFIC CMP from the IF
IC at DISC U0221, pin 2, then through the PL/DPL path. The signal first passes through one of two
low pass filters, either PL low pass filter, or DPL/LST low pass filter. Either signal is then filtered, goes
through a limiter, and exits the ASFIC CMP at LSIO (U0221, pin 18). At this point the signal appears
as a square wave version of the sub-audible signal the radio received. The µP (U0101, pin 80)
decodes the signal directly to determine if it is the tone/code currently active on that mode.
The output of the ASFIC CMP’s digital volume pot (U0221, pin 41) is routed through dc blocking
capacitor C0256 to a buffer formed by U0211, pin 1. Resistors R0256 and R0268 set the correct
input level to the audio PA (U0271). This is necessary because the gain of the audio PA is 46 dB and
the ASFIC CMP output is capable of overdriving the PA unless the maximum volume is limited.
Resistor R0267 and capacitor C0267 increase frequency components below 350 Hz.
The audio then passes through R0269 and C0272 which provides AC coupling and low frequency
roll-off. C0273 provides high frequency roll-off as the audio signal is routed to audio power amplifier
U0271, pins 1 and 9 which are both tied to the received audio. The audio power amplifier has one
inverted and one non-inverted output that produces the differential audio output SPK+/SPK- (U0271,
pins 4 and 6).
The audio PA’s dc biases are not activated until the audio PA is enabled at pin 8. The audio PA is
enabled via the ASFIC CMP (U0221, pin 38). When the base of Q0271 is low, the transistor is off and
U0271-8 is high via pull-up resistor R0273, and the audio PA is ON. The voltage at U0273-8 must be
above 8.5Vdc to properly enable the device. If the voltage is between 3.3 and 6.4V, the device is
active, but has its input (U0273, pins 1 and 9) off. This is a mute condition used to prevent an audio
pop when the PA is enabled.
The SPK+ and SPK- outputs of the audio PA are dc biased and vary proportionately with FLT A+
(U0271, pin 7). FLT A+ of 11V yields a dc offset of 5V, and FLT A+ of 17V yields a dc offset of 8.5V. If
either of these lines is shorted to ground, it is possible that the audio PA could be damaged. SPK+
and SPK- are routed to the accessory connector (J0501, pins 1 and 16) and to the control head
connector (J0401, pins 2 and 3).

2.3.5.4 Handset Audio
Certain accessories have a self contained speaker which requires a different voltage level than that
provided by U0271. For those devices, HANDSET AUDIO is available at control head connector
J0401, pin 7.
The received audio from the output of the ASFIC CMP’s digital volume attenuator and buffered by
U0211, pin 1, is also routed to U0211, pin 9 where it is amplified by 20 dB. This is set by the 10k/
100k combination of R0261 and R0262. This signal is routed from the output of the op amp U0211 to
J0401-7. The control head sends this signal directly out to the microphone jack. The maximum value
of this output is 6.6Vp-p.
2.3.5.5 Filtered Audio and Flat Audio
The ASFIC CMP audio output at U0221, pin 39 is filtered and de-emphasized, but has not yet gone
through the digital volume attenuator. From ASFIC CMP U0221, pin 39 the signal is routed via
R0251 through gate U0251, pin 12 and AC coupled to U0211, pin 2. The gate controlled by ASFIC
CMP port GCB3 (U0221, pin 35) selects between the filtered audio signal from the ASFIC CMP at
pin 39 (URXOUT) or the unfiltered flat audio signal from the ASFIC CMP, U10, pin 10. Resistors
R0251 and R0253 determine the gain of op amp U0211, pin 2 for the filtered audio while R0252 and
R0253 determine the gain for the flat audio.The output of U0253, pin 7 is then routed to J0501, pin
11 via dc blocking capacitor C0542. Note that any volume adjustment of the signal on this path must
be done by the accessory.
2.3.5.6 RX Secure Audio Option
Discriminator audio, which is now encrypted audio, follows the normal receive audio processing until
it is output from the ASFIC CMP UIO (U0221, pin 10), which is fed to the secure audio board at
option connector J0551, pin 35. On the secure board, the encrypted signal is converted back to
normal audio format, then fed back through J0551, pin 34 to AUX RX of the ASFIC CMP (U0221, pin
43). The signal then follows a path identical to the conventional receive audio, where it is filtered (0.3
- 3kHz) and deemphasized. The signal URX SND from the ASFIC CMP (U0221-39) also routed to
option connector J0551, pin 28, is not used for the secure board, but for other option boards.
2.3.5.7 Option Board Receive Audio
Unfiltered audio from the ASFIC CMP (U0221, pin 10) enters the option board at connector J0551,
pin 35. Filtered audio from the ASFIC CMP URXOUT (U0221, pin 39) enters the option board at
connector J0551, pin 28. On the option board, the signal is processed, then fed back through (J0551,
pin 34) to AUX RX of the ASFIC CMP (U0221, pin 43). The signal then follows a path identical to
conventional receive audio, where it is filtered (0.3 - 3kHz) and de-emphasized.

2.3.6.1 Sub-Audible Data (PL/DPL) and High Speed Data Decoder
The ASFIC CMP (U0221) filters and limits all received data. The data enters the ASFIC CMP at input
DISC (U0221, pin 2). Inside U0221 the data is filtered according to data type (HS or LS), then it is
limited to a 0-5V digital level. The MDC and trunking high speed data appear at U0221, pin 19, where
it connects to the µP U0101, pin 82
The low speed limited data output (PL, DPL, and trunking LS) appears at U0221, pin 18, where it
connects to the µP U0101, pin 80.
The low speed data is read by the µP at twice the frequency of the sampling waveform; a latch
configuration in the ASFIC CMP stores one bit every clock cycle. The external capacitors C0236, and
C0244 set the low frequency pole for a zero crossings detector in the limiters for PL and HS data.
The hysteresis of these limiters is programmed based on the type of received data.

2.3.6.2 Alert Tone Circuits
When the software determines that it needs to give the operator an audible feedback for a good key
press, or for a bad key press, or radio status (trunked system busy, phone call, circuit failures), it
sends an alert tone to the speaker. It does so by sending SPI BUS data to U0221 which sets up the
audio path to the speaker for alert tones. The alert tone itself can be generated in one of two ways:
internally by the ASFIC CMP, or externally using the µP and the ASFIC CMP.
The allowable internal alert tones are 304, 608, 911, and 1823Hz. In this case a code contained
within the SPI BUS load to the ASFIC CMP sets up the path and determines the tone frequency, and
at what volume level to generate the tone. (It does not have to be related to the voice volume setting).
For external alert tones, the µP can generate any tone within the 100-3000Hz audio band. This is
accomplished by the µP generating a square wave which enters the ASFIC CMP at U0221-19. Inside
the ASFIC CMP this signal is routed to the alert tone generator
The output of the generator is summed into the audio chain just after the RX audio de-emphasis
block. Inside U0221 the tone is amplified and filtered, then passed through the 8-bit digital volume
attenuator, which is typically loaded with a special value for alert tone audio. The tone exits at U022141 and is routed to the audio PA like receive audio.
