Operational Modes
There are several different operational modes: Modes have different states controlled by
the cellular SW. Some examples are: Idle State (on ACCH), Camping (on DCCH), Scanning, Conversation, No Service Power Save (NSPS) previously OOR = Out of Range.
In the power-off mode, only the circuits needed for power-up are supplied.
In sleep mode, circuits are powered down and only the 32kHz sleep clock is running. In
slotted mode or idle mode (a combination of sleep mode and receive mode), some circuits will turn on some of the time during the wake-up slot to receive paging messaging
from the base station.
In the active mode, all the circuits are supplied with power, although some parts might
be in idle state part of the time.
The charge mode is effective in parallel with all previous modes. The charge mode itself
consists of two different states, (i.e., the fast charge and the maintenance mode).
UEM is the Universal Energy Management IC for DCT4 digital handportable phones. In
addition to energy management, it performs all the baseband mixed-signal functions.
Most of UEM pins have 2kV ESD protection. Those signals that are considered to be
exposed more easily to ESD have 8kV protection inside UEM. Such signals are all audio
signals, headset signals, BSI, Btemp, Fbus, and Mbus signals.
Regulators
UEM has six regulators for baseband power supplies and seven regulators for RF power
supplies. VR1 regulator has two outputs VR1a and VR1b.
Bypass capacitor (1uF) is required for each regulator output to ensure stability.
Reference voltages for regulators require external 1uF capacitors. Vref25RF is reference
voltage for VR2 regulator; Vref25BB is reference voltage for VANA, VFLASH1, VFLASH2,
VR1 regulators; Vref278 is reference voltage for VR3, VR4, VR5, VR6, VR7 regulators;
VrefRF01 is reference voltage for VIO, VCORE, VSIM regulators, and for RF.

VANA regulator supplies internal and external analog circuitry of BB. It is disabled in
sleep mode.
Vflash1 regulator supplies LCD and digital parts of UEM ASIC. It is enabled during startup
and goes to low Iq-mode in sleep mode.
VIO regulator supplies both external and internal logic circuitries. It is used by LCD, flash,
Jedi, Yoda, GPS RF and GPS Baseband, and UPP. Regulator goes in to low Iq-mode in
sleep mode.
VCORE supplies DSP, Core part of UPP, and GPS Baseband ASIC. Voltage is programmable
and the startup default is 1.5V. Regulator goes to low Iq-mode in sleep mode.
VR1 regulator (VR1a, VR1b) uses two LDOs and a charge pump. VR1a is used to bias the
cellular PA and VR1b is for PCS PA.
VR2 is a linear regulator used to supply Jedi RF ASIC.
VR3 is a linear regulator used by Yoda RF ASIC and VCTCXO circuitry.
VR4 is a linear regulator used by Alfred’s LNA RF front end ASIC circuitry.
VR5 is a linear regulator used by the Jedi RFIC.
VR6 is a linear regulator used by Jedi RF ASIC.
VR7 is a linear regulator used by Jedi and Yoda RF ICs.
RF Interface
In addition to the RF regulators mentioned, UEM handles the interface between the
baseband and the RF section. It provides A/D and D/A conversion of the in-phase and
quadrature receive and transmit signal paths, and also A/D and D/A conversions of
received and transmitted audio signals to and from the UI section. The UEM supplies the
analog AFC signal to the RF section according to the UPP DSP digital control. It also
converts PA temperature into real data for the DSP. The UPP controls the RFIC through
the 3-wire RFIC bus. UPP also provides PDM regulator for RF interface (RX/TX AGC control).
Charging Control
The CHACON block of UEM asics controls charging. Needed functions for charging controls are pwm-controlled battery charging switch, charger-monitoring circuitry, and battery voltage monitoring circuitry. In addition, external components are needed for EMC
protection of the charger input to the baseband module. The DCT4 baseband is designed
to electrically support both DCT3 and DCT4 chargers.
Digital Interface
Data transmission between the UEM and the UPP is implemented using two serial connections, DBUS (9.6 MHz) for DSP and CBUS (1.2 MHz in CDMA) for MCU. UEM is a dualvoltage circuit: the digital parts are running from 1.8V and the analog parts are running
from 2.78V. Vbat (3.6V) voltage regulators inputs also are used.
Audio Codec
The baseband supports two external microphone inputs and one external earphone output. The inputs can be taken from an internal microphone, from a headset microphone,
or from an external microphone signal source through a headset connector. The output
for the internal earpiece is a differential type output, and the differential output is capable of driving 4Vpp to the earpiece with a 60 dB minimum signal to total distortion ratio.
Input and output signal source selection and gain control is performed inside the UEM
