HD891 Baseband Troubleshooting
Overview of baseband troubleshooting
Baseband oriented failures are typically discovered during flash and
alignment. Before programming the flash memory, the phone is started in
minimum mode and current consumption is measured. If current
consumption is within acceptable limits and the MCU software version is
successfully read via MBUS, the flash is then programmed. If flash
programming fails, the phone is taken off line where MCU self tests will be
performed at a separate troubleshooting station. During MCU self tests,
address and data lines to the major components of the baseband are
tested. Each test returns the number of the test and the results ( OK /
failed ). Test information is also stored to a phone test file, which can be
available for later use.
If the phone can be flashed and the DSP downloaded, the baseband is
generally functioning properly. If not, referring to the test file of the phone
will aid in the detection of defective components or connections.
Technical Documentation
General
In case of current consumption/MBUS registration failure, more specific
measurements of voltages, clocking signals and states of reset signals
must be evaluated.
The purpose of this document is to define a method by which failures in
the baseband of the phone can be detected and corrected. Each section
of the circuit shall be described in adequate detail such that the reader
may be able to verify whether each section is functioning properly, and if
not, where the problem resides.
Required servicing equipment:
1Service software
1Power supply (1.0 A)
1Digital multimeter
1Oscilloscope
1Modular cable
1RS232/MBUS adapter
1Soldering iron and related tools.
General Failures
The most common baseband failures detected in production will likely be
the following:
1) The phone will not flash (phone seems dead).
2) The DSP will not download.
3) Phone will power up in minimum mode and then power down.

Troubleshooting Specific Sections
Below describes in detail each of the main circuit sections. Circuit
verification and troubleshooting can be performed by verifying the signals
and voltages described in each section.
Disassembly & Troubleshooting
Power
3 Volt Switching Power Supply
The MAX887 (N704) is the 3V power supply for the baseband. Pin 8
should have battery power at all times (unless, of course, the battery is not
installed), and pin 7 is the output which is approximately 3.15V. This
output by nature will be very noisy. However, it is filtered by an LC circuit
and a rectifying diode which gives a fairly clean supply. This should be
evident by probing the signal labeled 3VD.
Pin 1 is the control pin for the power supply. The supply is active when
this pin is at a logic high (in this case 2.5V), and powers down when it is at
a logic low. It is connected directly to the watchdog circuit, which controls
whether the power supply is on or off.
Pin 6 is the sync pin, which allows the supply to switch in sync with the
clock driving it. The clock frequency should be 307kHz, but should still
function with no clock at all.
3V Power Distribution
Check the MCU (D706) supply voltage 3VD (3.15V) on pins 5 and 42, and
VREF (3.15V) pin 60. Check voltages of MCU related memory
components: FLASH (D702) pins 30, 31 and 11; RAM (D708) pin 7; and
EEPROM (D703) pin 8.
Check the ASIC (D705) supply voltage 3VD (3.15V) on pins 13, 22, 27,
44, 60, 65, 74, 88,103, 109, 117, 132, 146, 151, 161, and 176.

Disassembly & Troubleshooting
Check the,DSP (D707) supply voltage 3VD (3.15V) on pins 8, 11, 36, 39,
49, 64, 76, 87 and 90. 3VD (3.15V) is also fed to the DSP RAM (D709) to
pin 11 and 33.
Check the CDRFI (N703) supply voltage 3VD (3.15V) on pins 32, 33, 60,
62, 2, 6, 8 and 19.
Check the supply voltages of the audio CODEC (N706). 3VA (3.15V) is
fed to pins 41 and 42. 3VD (3.15V) is connected to pin 18.
4.8 Volt Linear Regulator
The 4.8 volt linear regulator (N707) supplies power the the flex circuit
board (UIF), the differential audio circuit at the output of the CODEC and
leading to the bottom connector, and the headset accessory.
Pin 6 is the power input to the regulator and should be connected to
battery voltage. Pin 1 is an on/off switch. When this pin is high the
regulator is on, and when low it is off. The output is at pin 4 and is labeled
5VD.
Technical Documentation
Reset Logic
XPWR_RESET is the main reset for the entire baseband. It is generated
at pin 7 of N705 and is associated with a RC delay at pins 1 and 5 to give
the circuit time to power up before letting the reset go inactive. With the
battery installed, pins 2 and 6 of N705 must always be at 2.5 volts (these
pins are connected to the 2.5 volt reference diode).
XPWR_RESET drives only the CDSB ASIC at pin 2. When the ASIC is
fully active it then drives the reset (XSYS_RESET, pin 168) to the MCU
(pin 10) and the DSP (pin 69). This reset is asserted whenever the
battery is plugged in, or when the power–on button is pressed. All resets
are active low. When the phone is up and running, all resets should be
high.
Clocks
The MCU (D700), DSP(D707), and ASIC(D705) must all have an active
clock driving them in order to function. The clocks are fundamentally
derived from the VCTCXO (G100) in the RF section. It emits a 15.36MHz
sinusoid which drives the CDRFI (N703, pin 1). The same RF section
also emits a 9.83MHz sinusoid which drives the CDRFI at pin 3. These
signals MUST be present in order for the phone to function.
Page 10
The CDRFI then generates the squarewave version of these two
sinusoids and sends them to the ASIC (15.36MHz at pin147 and 9.83MHz
at pin162).
Pin 104 of the ASIC drives the MCU clock (MCU_CLK) at MCU pin 69,
and drives the DSP clock (DSP_CLK) at DSP pin 68.
