Foreword
ESD Protection
Nokia requires that phone repair places have sufficient ESD protection
(against static electricity) when servicing cellular phones.
A cellular phone, which is ready for use, can be handled normally without
ESD protection. The SIM card and battery can be replaced in normal
conditions of use.
To replace the color cover ESD protection must be applied, except for the
phone covers which can be replaced by the customer.
All electronic parts of the phone , including the display, are susceptible to
ESD. Resistors, too, can be damaged by static electricity discharge.
PAMS Technical Documentation
All ESD sensitive parts must be packed in metallized protective bags during
shipping and handling outside any ESD Protected Area (EPA).
Every repair action involving opening the phone or handling the phone
components must be done under ESD protection.
ESD protected spare part packages MUST NOT be opened/closed out of an
EPA.
For more detailed information about ESD protection and EPA, contact your
local Nokia After Market Services representative.

The NPM–9 is a dual band radio transceiver unit for the E–GSM900 and
GSM1800 networks. GSM power class is 4 and GSM1800 power class is
1. It is a true 3 V transceiver, with an internal antenna and vibra.
The NPM–9 phone includes integrated FM radio. Radio is used as a nor-
mal mono receiver. FM radio is highly integrated. Only few external com-
ponents are needed. Headset is used as an antenna for radio.
The transceiver has a full graphic display and the user interface is based
on a Jack style UI with two soft keys.
An internal antenna is used, there is no connection to an external anten-
na.
The transceiver has a low leakage tolerant earpiece and an omnidirec-
tional microphone, providing an excellent audio quality. The transceiver
supports a full rate, an enhanced full rate and a half rate speech decod-
ing.
NPM–9
System Module & UI
An integrated IR link provides a connection between two NPM–9 trans-
ceivers or a transceiver and a PC (internal data), or a transceiver and a
printer.
The small SIM ( Subscriber Identity Module ) card is located under the
battery. SIM interface supports both 1.8V and 3V SIM cards.
Electrical Modules
The radio module consists of Radio Frequency (RF) and baseband (BB).
User Interface (UI) contains display, keyboard, IR link, vibra, HF/HS con-
nector and audio parts. UI is divided into radio PWB LA5 and UI PWB
LU9. FM radio is located on the main PWB.
The electrical part of the keyboard is located in separate UI PWB named
LU9. LU9 is connected to radio PWB through spring connectors.
The System blocks provide the MCU, DSP, external memory interface
and digital control functions in UPP ASIC (Universal Phone Processor).
Power supply circuitry, charging, audio processing and RF control hard-
ware are in UEM ASIC (Universal Energy Management).
The purpose of the RF block is to receive and demodulate the radio fre-
quency signal from the base station and to transmit a modulated RF sig-
nal to the base station.

System Module & UI
Operation Modes
The transceiver has six different operation modes:
– power off mode– idle mode
– active mode– charge mode
– local mode– test mode
In the power off mode circuits are powered down and only sleep clock is
running.
In the idle mode only the circuits needed for power up are supplied.
In the active mode all the circuits are supplied with power although some
parts might be in the 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.
The local and test modes are used for alignment and testing.

System Module LA5
Baseband Module
The baseband architecture supports a power saving function called ”sleep
mode”. This sleep mode shuts off the VCTCXO, which is used as system
clock source for both RF and baseband. During the sleep mode the sys-
tem runs from a 32 kHz crystal. The phone is waken up by a timer run-
ning from this 32 kHz clock supply. The sleep time is determined by net-
work parameters. Sleep mode is entered when both the MCU and the
DSP are in standby mode and the normal VCTCXO clock is switched off.
NPM–9 supports both three and two wire type of Nokia chargers. Three
wire chargers are treated like two wire ones. There is not separate PWM
output for controlling charger but it is connected to GND inside the bottom
connector. Charging is controlled by UEM ASIC (Universal Energy Man-
agement) and EM SW running in the UPP (Universal Phone Processor).

Technical Summary
Baseband is running from power rails 2.8V analog voltage and 1.8V I/O
voltage. UPP core voltage Vcore can be lowered down to 1.0V, 1.3V and
1.5V. UEM includes 6 linear LDO (low drop–out) regulators for baseband
and 7 regulators for RF. It also includes 4 current sources for biasing pur-
poses and internal usage. UEM also includes SIM interface which has
supports both 1.8V and 3V SIM cards.
Note: 5V SIM cards are no longer supported by NPM–9 baseband.
A real time clock function is integrated into the UEM which utilizes the
same 32kHz clock supply as the sleep clock. A backup power supply is
provided for the RTC which keeps the real time clock running when the
main battery is removed. The backup power supply is a rechargeable sur-
face mounted capacitor. The backup time with the capacitor is 30 minutes
minimum.
The analog interface between the baseband and the RF section is han-
dled by a UEM ASIC. UEM 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 UEM supplies the analog TXC and AFC signals to
RF section according to the UPP DSP digital control. Data transmission
between the UEM and the UPP is implemented using two serial busses,
DBUS for DSP and CBUS for MCU. RF ASIC, Hagar, is controlled
through UPP RFBUS serial interface. There is also separate signals for
PDM coded audio. Digital speech processing is handled by the DSP in-
side UPP ASIC. UEM 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 also VBAT is directly used by some blocks.
PAMS Technical Documentation
The baseband supports both internal and external microphone inputs and
speaker outputs. UEM also includes third microphone input which is used
in NPM–9 for FM radio. Input and output signal source selection and gain
control is done by the UEM according to control messages from the UPP.
Keypad tones, DTMF, and other audio tones are generated and encoded
by the UPP and transmitted to the UEM for decoding. A buzzer and exter-
nal vibra alert control signals are generated by the UEM with separate
PWM outputs.
NPM–9 has two external serial control interfaces: FBUS and MBUS.
These busses can be accessed only through production test pattern.
EMC shielding for baseband is implemented using a metallized plastic
frame and UI PWB ground plane. On the other side the engine is shielded
with PWB grounding. Heat generated by the circuitry will be conducted
out via the PWB ground planes.
NPM–9 radio module is implemented to 8 layer PWB. UI module is divid-
ed between main PWB LA5 and separate UI PWB LU9.
