The RM-30 BB is based on the DCT4/4.5 engine and is compatible to the PopPort
ries. The DCT4/4.5 engine consists basically of two ASICs. The UEMEK (Universal Energy
Management IC including voltage regulators, charge control and audio circuit s, audio IFH amplifier from DCT4.5) and the UPP (Universal Phone Processor including MCU, DSP and RAM
from DCT4).
UEMEK supplies both baseband and RF with power via built in voltage regulators, which are
connected to the battery . The RF pa rts use mainly 2.78 V and the baseband p arts 1.8V I/O voltage. The UPP core is supplied with programmable core voltage of 1.0V, 1.3V or 1.5V . UEMEK
includes 7linear LDO (Low Drop-Out) regulators for baseband and 7 regulators for RF. It also
includes 4 current sources for biasing purposes and internal usage. The UEMEK is furthermore
supplying the SIM interface with a programmable voltage of 1.8V or 3V.
Note: 5V SIM cards are no longer supported by DCT-4 generation Baseband.
UPP operates from a 26 MHz clock coming from the RF ASIC Helgo. The clock signal is divided
by two down to the nominal system clock frequency of 13 MHz. The DSP and MCU contain
PLLs, which can multiply the system clock to a higher frequency.
A real time clock function is integrated into the UEMEK, which utilizes the same 32kHz clock
supply as the sleep clock.
The communication between UEMEK and UPP is implemented using two bi-directional serial
busses, CBUS and DBUS. The CBUS is controlled by the MCU and operates at a speed of 1
MHz. The DBUS is controlled by the MCU and operates at a speed of 13 MHz. Both processors
are located in the UPP.
The UEMEK ASIC handles the analog interface between the Baseband and the RF section.
UEMEK 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 user interface. The UEMEK supplies the analog TXC and AFC sign als to the RF
section according to UPP signal control. There are also separate signals for PDM coded audio.
Digital speech processing is handled by the DSP inside UPP ASIC.
UEMEK is a dual voltage circuit, the digital parts are running from the baseband supply 1.8V
and the analog parts are running from the analog supply 2.78V or backup battery. Also VBAT
is directly used (Vibra, LED-driver, Camera Regulator).
The Baseband supports both internal and external microphone inputs and speaker outputs.
Keypad tones, DTMF , and other audio tones are generated and encoded by the UPP and transmitted to the UEMEK for decoding. An external vibra alert control signals are generated by the
UEMEK with separate PWM outputs.
EMC shielding is implemented using a soldered shielding, RF cans and PWB grounding.
The Combo-Memory is a multi chip package memory which combines 128 Mbit (8Mx1 6) muxed
burst multibank flash and 16 Mbit muxed CMOS PSRAM (Pseudo SRAM: DRAM with SRAM
interface).
The combo is supplied by single 1,8 V for read, write and erase operations. For accelerated
flash programming, Vpp = 9.0 V has to be applied to VPP input of the combo device.
The combo memory is housed in a 44-ball FBGA.
■ Energy management
The energy management of RM-30 is based on BB 4.0 architecture. A so-called semi fixed battery (BL-5B) supplies power primarily to UEMEK ASIC and the RF PA. The UEMEK includes
several regulators to supply RF and Baseband. It provides energy management including power up/down procedure.
Modes of operation
The baseband engine has six different functional modes: Since the UEMEK controls the regulated power distribution; each of these states affects the general functionality of the phone.
1. No supply
2. Backup
3. Acting Dead
4. Active
5. Sleep
6. Charging
No Supply
In NO_SUPPLY mode, the phone has no supply volt age. This mode is due to the disconnection
of the main battery and backup battery or low battery voltage level in both of the batteries.
The phone is exiting from NO_SUPPLY mode when sufficient battery voltage level is detected.
The battery voltage can rise either by connecting a new battery with VBA T > V

Backup
In BACKUP mode the backup battery has suf ficient charge but the main battery can be discon-
nected or empty (VBAT < V

).
Acting Dead
If the phone is off when the charger is connected, the phone is powered on but enters a state
called ”Acting Dead”. To the user, the phone acts as if it was switched off. A battery-charging
alert is given and/or a battery charging indication on the display is shown to acknowledge the
user that the battery is being charged.
In Active mode, the phone is in normal operation, scanning for channels, listing to a base station, transmitting and processing information.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode is entered when both MCU and DSP are in stand–by mode. Both processors control the sleep mode.
The sleep mode is exited either by the expiration of a sleep clock counter in the UEMEK or by
some external interrupt, generated by a charger connection, key press, headset connection
etc.
In the sleep mode, VCTCXO is shut down and 32 kHz sleep clock oscillator is used as reference clock for the Baseband.
Charging
In RM-30, the battery type/size is indicated by a BSI-resistor. The resistor value corresponds
to a specific battery capacity. Also BTEMP, NTC resistor, is located on an engine board.
The battery voltage, temperature, size and current are measur ed by the UEMEK controlle d by
the charging software running in the UPP.
The charging control circuitry (CHACON) inside the UEMEK controls the charging current delivered from the charger to the battery . The battery volt age rise is limited by turning the UEMEK
switch off when the battery voltage has reached 4.2 V. Charging current is monitored by measuring the voltage drop across a 220 mΩ resistor.
■ Power distribution
Under normal conditions, the battery powers the baseband module. Individual regulators located within the UEMEK regulate the battery voltage VBAT. These regulators supply the different
parts of the phone. 7 regulators are dedicated to the RF module and 7 to the baseband module.
The VSIM regulator is able to deliver both 1,8V and 3,0 V DC and thus supporting two different
SIM technologies.
The system connector provides a voltage to supply accessories.
The white LEDs need a higher voltage supply than the battery can supply and are fed by a sep-
arate external voltage regulator.
VBAT is directly distributed to the RF power amplifier, FCI and external baseband regulators.
A battery of the type BL-5B is used. It is a Li Ion based standard cell. The battery capacity is
760mAh.
The battery has a three-pin connector. In order to get temperature information of the battery,
the NTC mounted on the PWB within the BB area is used.
Ni based batteries are not supported.
The BSI resistor has a nominal value of 75 kOhm.

■ Audio
Internal microphone
The internal microphone capsule is mounted to in the PopPortTM system connector . The microphone is omni directional and it’s connected to the UEMEK microphone input MIC1P/N. The
microphone input is symmetric and the UEMEK (MICB1) provides bias voltage. The microphone input on the UEMEK is ESD protected. Spring contacts are used to connect the microphone to the PWB.
