Figure 91 Functional block diagram
Helen3 processor (OMAP1710) is called also as an application ASIC in RM-1 because it is processing application SW and handles the UI SW. It consists of OMAP3.3 and peripheral subsystems like camera-, display- and keyboard driver blocks.
Figure 92 Helen3 high level block diagram
OMAP3.3 consists of ARM926 (MPU subsystem), TMS320C55x (DSP subsystem), DMA and OMAP3.3s internal peripherals.
Helen3s MPU subsystem is based on an ARM926EJ. MPU is able to perform most of the application operations on the chip.
System DMA: This component is mainly used to help the MPU and DSP perform data memory transfer-specific tasks, leaving more available MIPS for both processors.

RM-1 System Module Nokia Customer Care
The DSP subsystem is based on a TMS320C55x™ DSP core, which is responsible for intensive data computing tasks like real-time audio and video handling on application side. E.g. voice recording.
Internal memory subsystem: This subsystem is composed of a single port SRAM. Secure modules: OMAP1610 contains a set of several components, including ROM, a single port SRAM, and eFUSE
cells. These components enable the system to support secure applications. Memory interfaces: The memory interfaces define the system memory access organization of OMAP1610. USB & modem interface: These two modules enable the platform to support a universal serial link and a
dedicated modem interface, enabling a high data transfer rate between the modem and the application chip. System components: System components are group of modules responsible for managing system interactions
such as interrupt, clock control and idle. Peripheral subsystem: The peripheral subsystem defines all the components used to interface OMAP1610 with
specific external devices such as camera, keyboard, display etc.

Modes of operation

Mode Description
NO_SUPPLY (dead) mode means that the main battery is not present or its voltage is too low (below
RETU master reset threshold) and that the back-up battery voltage is too low.
BACK_UP The main battery is not present or its voltage is too low but back-up battery voltage is
adequate and the 32kHz oscillator is running (RTC is on).
PWR_OFF In this mode (warm), the main battery is present and its voltage is over RETU master reset
threshold. All regulators are disabled, PurX is on low state, the RTC is on and the oscillator is on. PWR_OFF (cold) mode is almost the same as PWR_OFF (warm), but the RTC and the oscillator are off.
RESET RESET mode is a synonym for start-up sequence. In this mode certain regulators are
enabled and after they and RFClk have stabilized, the system reset (PurX) is released and PWR_ON mode entered. RESET mode uses 32kHz clock to count the REST mode delay (typically 16ms).

Mode Description
SLEEP SLEEP mode is entered only from PWR_ON mode with the aid of SW when the system’s
activity is low. There are in principle three different sleep modes:
• Helen3 sleep
• RAP3G sleep
• Helen3 and RAP3G sleep (deep sleep) In SLEEP mode RETU’s regulators VIO, VDRAM, VSIM1, VSIM2, VAUX and Vana are in low
quiescent current mode (output voltages still present but regulators will not give as much current out). Other regulators including VR1 supplying system clock oscillator are disabled.
In SLEEP mode, TAHVO VCORE SMPS regulator is in low quiescent current mode (if sleep mode is not internally disabled). Linear regulator VOUT state depends on the accessory connected to the system connector (Pop-Port), if there is any.
FLASHING FLASHING mode is for SW downloading. FLASHING mode is not really a RETU or TAHVO
state but rather a system state. From RETU and TAHVO point of view, it is like PWR_ON. The state is entered from PWR_ON. It is possible to use external voltage (VPP) during flashing to speed up the process (provided that the memory components support the feature).

The master reset threshold controls the internal reset of Retu / (Tahvo). If battery voltage is above VMSTR, UEME’s charging control logic is alive. Also, RTC is active and supplied from the main battery. Above VMSTR UEME allows the system to be powered on although this may not succeed due to voltage drops during start up. SW can also consider battery voltage too low for operation and power down the system.
Power key
The system boots up when power key is pressed (adequate battery voltage, VBAT, present). Power down can be initiated by pressing the power key again (the system is powered down with the aid of
SW). Power on key is connected to Retu ASIC via PWRONX signal.

Power distribution

Figure 94 Power distribution diagram
Power supply components:
• RETU
• TAHVO
• Helen VCORE SMPS
• BT
• LDO
• camera LDO
• backlight SMPS All the above are powered by the main battery voltage. Battery voltage is also used on the RF side for power amplifiers (GSM PA & WCDMA PA) and for RF ASICs Hinku
(Rx) & Vinku(Tx).
Page 9–12 Company Confidential Issue 1
Copyright © 2004 Nokia. All Rights Reserved.
RM-1 System Module Nokia Customer Care
Discrete power supplies are used to generate 2.8V for BT, 1.5V for the camera module, 1.3V/1.5V for Helen3 and 18V for backlight LEDs.
The device supports both 1.8V/3V SIM cards which are powered by RETU / VSIM1. RETUs VSIM2 is used to power RS MMC 1.8V only. USB accessories which needs power from the device are powered by TAHVO / VOUT.
Because LED driver in TAHVO is not used, the external SMPS is used instead. External LED SMPS is still controlled by TAHVO and powered by battery voltage.
System power-up
After inserting the main battery, regulators started by HW are enabled. SW checks, if there is some reason to keep the power on. If not, the system is set to power off state by watchdog. Power up can be caused by the following reasons:
• Power key is pressed
• Charger is connected
• RTC alarm occurs
• MBUS wake-up After that:
• Retu activates sleep clock and VANA, VDRAM, VIO and VR1 regulators.
• Voltage appearing at Retu’s RSTX pin is used for enabling Tahvo ASIC.
• Tahvo enables VCORE regulator and its internal RC-oscillator (600kHz).
• VCTCXO regulator is set ON and RF clock (main system clock) is started to produce.
• Retu will release PURX ~ 16ms after power up is enabled (the RF clock is then stable enough).
• Synchronizing clock (2.4MHz) for Tahvo is started to be produced. After PURX is released and two rising edges of 2.4MHz synchronous clock have been detected in SMPSClk input Tahvo is starting to use that instead of 600kHz internal RC-oscillator.
• HW start-up procedure has been finalized and the system is up and running. Now it is possible for SW to switch ON other needed regulators.

Figure 95 System start-up timing

Clocking scheme

In BB5.0, two main clocks are provided to the system: 38.4MHz RF clock produced by VCTCXO in RF section and
32.768kHz sleep clock produced by RETU with an external crystal. RF clock is generated only when VCTCXO is powered on by RETU regulator. Regulator itself is activated by SleepX
signals from both RAP3G and Helen3. When both CPUs are on sleep, RF clock is stopped. RF clock is used by RAP3G that then provides (divided) 19.2MHz SysClk further to Helen3. Both RAPG and Helen3
have internal PLLs which then create clock signals for other peripheral devices/interfaces like RS MMC, SIM, CCP, I2C and memories.
32k Sleep Clock is always powered on after startup. Sleep clock is used by RAP3G and Helen3 for low-power operation.
SMPS Clk is 2.4MHz clock line from RAP3G to Tahvo used for switch mode regulator synchronizing in active mode. In deep sleep mode, when VCTCXO is off, this signal is set to '0'-state.
BT Clk is 38.4MHz signal from Hinku ASIC to BT module. CLK600 is 600KHz signal from Tahvo to APE VCORE SMPS. The clock source is internal RC oscillator in Tahvo (during
the RM-1 power-up sequence) or RAP3G SMPS Clk divided by 4 after the power-up sequence.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth provides a fully digital link for communication between a master unit and one or more slave units. The system provides a radio link that offers a high degree of flexibility to support various applications and product scenarios. Data and control interface for a low power RF module is provided. Data rate is regulated between the master and the slave.
The device Bluetooth is based on CSR's BC3 BT ASIC. The UART1 interface handles the transfer of control and data information between Helen3 and the BT system
(BC3). The PCM interface is used for audio data transfer between RAP3G and the BT system (BC3).
USB
USB (Universal Serial Bus) provides a wired connectivity between host PC and peripheral devices. USB is a differential serial bus for USB devices. USB controller (RAP3G) supports USB specification revision 2.0
with full speed USB (12Mbps). The device is connected to the USB host through the Pop-PortTM connector. The USB bus is hot plugged capable, which means that USB devices may be plugged in/out at any time.

USB interface electrical characteristics (Page 9–29)

SIM interface

The device has one SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) interface and the SIM card location is under the battery. SIM interface consists of internal interface between RAP3G and Retu and an external interface between Retu and SIM contacts. SIM interface functionality is located in RAP3G while Retu takes care of power up/down, card detection, ATR counting and level shifting. For Retu external SIM IF connections, see SIM interface
connections (Page 9–31).
The SIM IF is shown in the following figure:
Issue 1 Company Confidential Page 9–15

RM-1
Nokia Customer Care System Module
Figure 97 SIM interface
Retu handles SIM card detection and the detection method is based on the BSI line. Due to location of the SIM card removal of the battery causes quick power down of the SIM IF. The Retu SIM1 interface supports both the
1.8V and 3.0V SIM cards. SIM interface voltage is first 1.8V when the SIM card is inserted and if the card does not response to the ATR (Answer To Reset) 3V interface voltage is used. The data communication between the card and the phone is asynchronous half duplex and the clock supplied to cards is 1-5MHz, which is 3.2MHz by default (in GSM system). The data baud rate is SIM card clock frequency divided by 372 (by default), 64, 32 or 16.

RS MMC interface

The reduced size (24mm x 18mm x 1.4mm) multimedia card slot is located under the battery. The device supports RS MMC hot insertion so it is possible to remove/insert the card when the phone is powered on.
Figure 98 Reduced size MMC
RS MMC card is connected to the Helen3 processor MMC/SDIO2 (1.8V) interface. MMC interface is shown in the following figure:
Page 9–16 Company Confidential Issue 1
Copyright © 2004 Nokia. All Rights Reserved.
RM-1 System Module Nokia Customer Care
Figure 99 MMC interface
The basic multimedia card concept is based on the following communication signals CLK, CMD and DAT. With each cycle of the CLK signal one bit transfer on the DAT and CMD line is done. The maximum CLK frequency is 20MHz (specified in multimedia card specification). Maximum used CLK frequency at the time is 16MHz. CMD is a bi-directional command channel used for card initialization and data transfer commands. CMD signal has two operational modes open-drain and push-pull mode. Open-drain mode is used for card initialization and push­pull mode for fast command transfer. CMD commands are sent by the host and CMD responses are sent by the card. DAT is a bi-directional data channel, which operates at push-pull mode.
The detection of RS MMC card removal/insertion is done via RS MMC cover switch. Removing RS MMC while writing to RS MMC may corrupt data in RS MMC. RS MMC cover switch gives an interrupt to the SW while the cover is opened or closed. After RS MMC cover lid opening (RS MMC SW signal is connected to GND via cover switch) the SW power down the RS MMC card and switches off the RS MMC power supply (VSIM2). When the RS MMC cover lid is closed (RS MMC SW signal is internally connected in Helen3 to 1.8V) the card should be identified if card exists.

Battery interface

The battery interface supports NMP Lynx battery interface for the BL-5C battery. This interface consists of three connectors: VBAT, BSI and GND. BSI line is used to recognize battery capacity by a battery internal pull down resistor.
Figure 100 Battery pin order
Battery temperature is estimated by measuring separate battery temperature NTC via BTEMP line, which is located on the transceiver PWB, in a place where phone temperature is most stabile.

Camera interface

The device uses a Mirage- X camera module. Mirage-X is a 1.3Mpixel camera with sensor resolution of 1280 x
960. The following figure shows the block diagram where CCP bus is used to transfer image data from camera to engine. Bi-directional control bus is an SW implemented I2C interface.
Camera regulator N1470 powers digital parts of camera. VAUX power rail is for powering analogue parts of the camera.
CAMVCTRL signal (Vctrl) is used for activating the camera module. When Vctrl is turned on High level , the camera module enters the operation mode. When Vctrl is turned on Low level, the camera module enters the power off mode.
CAMCLK signal feeds system clock for camera module.

ALS interface

Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) is located in the upper part of the phone. It consists of a lightguide (part of front cover), phototransistor (V4400)+ resistor (R4401), NTC + resistors (R4400, R4402, R4403) and RETU EM ASIC (N2200). Information of ambient lighting is used to control backlights of the phone:
• Keypad lighting is switched on only when environment is dark / dim
• Display backlights are dimmed, when environment is dark / dim Ambient light sensor itself is a photo transistor which is temperature-compensated by an external NTC resistor.
Retu with its ADC reads the light sensor (LS) and temperature (LST) results.

Device memories

RAP3G memories NOR flash and SDRAM

Modem memory consists of 64 Mbit SDRAM and 64 Mbit NOR flash memories. SDRAM is a dynamic memory for ISA SW. NOR is used for ISA SW code and PMM data and CDSP SW code. 16-bit wide SDRAM interface consists of DDR SDRAM controller from ARM, DCDL/DLLs and wrapper logic. 32-bit
wide flash interface is implemented by using EMC module. SDRAM core voltage (1.8V) is generated from Retu VDRAM and I/O voltage (1.8V) is from VIO. NOR flash uses VIO
for both core and I/O voltages.

Combo memory (Helen 3)

The application memory of the device consists of NAND/DDR combo memory. Stacked DDR/NAND application memory has 256 Mbit of DDR memory and 256 Mbit of flash memory. DDR DRAM memory is stacked above the NAND flash.
Helen 3 includes a 16-bit dedicated memory interface called external memory interface fast (EMIFF). This is used to support interface for DDR memory. OMAP1610 provides also NAND flash controller located on the shared peripheral bus, providing support for 8-bit NAND flash. The interface requires an 8-bit address bus multiplexed with 8-bit data bus and several control signals.
Core voltage for DDR is 1.8V, which is generated by discrete LDO (LP3999-1.8). 1.8V (VIO) is for DDR I/O voltage. Both NAND core and I/O voltages are 1.8V generated by VIO.

Audio concept

Audio HW architecture

The functional core of the audio hardware is built around two ASICs: RAP 3G CMT engine ASIC and the mixed­signal ASIC Retu.
Retu provides an interface for the transducers and the accessory connector. Because audio amplifiers are also integrated into Retu, the only discrete electronics components needed for audio paths are audio filtering components and EMC/ESD components.
There are three audio transducers:
• 8mm dynamic earpiece

RM-1 System Module Nokia Customer Care
• 16mm dynamic speaker
• electret microphone module
In addition to the audio transducers, Retu also provides an output for the dynamic vibra component.
All galvanic audio accessories are connected to the Pop-PortTM accessory connector. A Bluetooth audio module BC02 that is connected to RAP3G supports Bluetooth audio functionality. There is a separate application ASIC, Helen 2 (OMAP 1610) for Symbian applications.

Pop-portTM connector

Pop-PortTM connector provides a fully differential 4–wire connection. The HandsFree (HF) driver in Retu is meant for the headset. The output is driven in a fully differential mode. In the fully differential mode, the HF pin is the negative output
and the HFCM pin is the positive output. The gain of the handsfree driver in the differential mode is 6 dB. The earpiece (EARP, EARN) and headset (HF, HFCM) signals are multiplexed so that the outputs cannot be used
simultaneously.

The HF and HFCM amplifiers include a transient suppression circuitry, which prevents undesired spikes in XEarL and XEarLC outputs when switching on and off the amplifiers. The HeadInt line is pulled up to 2.7V by the internal resistor when the accessory is connected. When there is not accessory inserted, the voltage in the HeadInt line will be <0.8 V caused by internal pull down resistor in the HF line.

RF description

Introduction to receiver functionality

Receiver functions are implemented in RF ASIC N7501. The receiver is a linear direct conversion receiver consisting of separate front ends (LNA and demodulator) for
each supported system. After the demodulators, the signal paths are combined to one common BB path.

WCDMA receiver

In the WCDMA mode, the received signal is fed from the antenna to the duplex filter. After the duplex filter the signal goes via balun to the integrated LNA residing in N7501. After the LNA, the signal goes trough an off chip band pass SAW filter. The main task of the filter is to attenuate the Tx signal which is leaking trough the duplex filter and amplified by LNA.
After filtering, the signal goes to the down conversion mixer, which converts the signal into baseband I and Q signals (90 degrees phase shift). After the demodulator output there is a RC low pass filter with f0 of ca. 1.5 MHz. It is effectively part of the BB selectivity filtering.
At BB frequency the signal is amplified and fed to a low pass filter giving the selectivity of the receiver. The filters need RC constants, which suffer of process variations. Therefore the integrated resistors are adjustable by digital control word.
Rx channel filter must be calibrated with automatic routine whenever N7501 IC is changed to a phone. In the WCDMA mode, the corner frequency of the filter is set to ca. 2.1MHz. The filter is followed by an AGC
amplifier with adjustable gain. Signal is further amplified before it is fed to balanced analogue IQ output pins. Analogue output pins are accompanied by reference voltage output, which sets the DC level for the AD converter in BB ASIC RAP3G.
The gain of the Rx chain can be adjusted in multiple phases. The first adjustable gain is in LNA which has low, mid and high gain settings and isolation mode. After the mixer, there are adjustable gains (AGC) inside the N7501 IC.
The last stage of the RF Rx chain is an output buffer which feeds the signal and a reference voltage (VREFCM) to BB ASIC. The AGC stages are used to maintain the voltage swing at the input of the AD converters at an adequate level.
The gain of the Rx chain is measured in production at one RF frequency and power level, so that RSSI reporting gets calibrated. If N7501IC is changed this calibration needs to be performed.

GSM receiver

As GSM900, GSM1800 and GSM1900 Rx branches are functionally identical, the following description is applicable to all of them.
The received signal goes from the GSM antenna to the antenna switch module. The switch module contains PIN diode switches for a band and Rx/Tx selection and also Rx SAW filters.
Page 9–40 Company Confidential Issue 1
Copyright © 2004 Nokia. All Rights Reserved.
RM-1 System Module Nokia Customer Care
The antenna switch module is followed by integrated LNAs residing in N7501. The LNAs are followed by demodulators which downconvert the signal to baseband I and Q signals. After the down conversion mixer, the Rx chain is similar to WCDMA Rx. Channel select filter is set to 115 kHz in
the GSM mode. In the GSM mode, the DC compensation is carried out before the reception slot. During an operation called DCN1 a sample of the DC level of the signal is stored in sufficiently large off chip
capacitors. During reception, information is in turn used for subtracting the DC information from the input signal of the AGC amplifier.
DCN0 operation is carried out to discharge any charge from the capacitors before DCN1. This guarantees that the starting point for the DC compensation is always the same.

WCDMA receiver (Page 9–40)

Introduction to transmitter functionality

Transmitter functions are implemented in the RF ASIC N7501. It contains a BB frequency low pass filter, which is tunable according to the signal bandwidth of the system in use.
In addition, N7501 contains three separate RF paths (GSM900, GSM1800/1900 and WCDMA) comprising a final frequency IQ modulator and VGA amplifiers.
In order to eliminate the effect of process variations on the low pass filter characteristics, a tuning procedure is carried out in production. The same tunings must be performed if the RF ASIC N7501 is changed.

WCDMA transmitter

In the transmitter side, an analogue I/Q modulated signal is received from the digital baseband into N7501 and fed through the low pass filter.
The corner frequency of the filter is set to approximately 3 MHz. After the filter the signal is fed to the IQ modulator, which converts the signal to final Tx frequency. There are
two separate I/Q modulators. One for WCDMA and another for EGSM900 and GSM1800/1900 signals. The modulator is followed by two VGA stages giving 85 dB of gain control range. The signal then exits N7501
via a balanced line. In order to attenuate the out of band noise of the transmitter the signal is band pass filtered by a SAW filter before it is fed to the WCDMA PA module.
After the PA the transmitted WCDMA signal is fed through an isolator and a duplex filter to the antenna.

WCDMA power control
WCDMA Tx power control is accomplished by the two VGA amplifier stages in N7500 Tx ASIC. The VGAs have a common temperature compensation circuit and one voltage mode analogue input for gain
control (TXC). The gain of VGA amplifier chain is controlled by a DA converter in BB. The same DA converter is shared by GSM
Tx power control function. It is required that phone can measure its output power in high power levels. A sample of the output power is
taken by a capacitor between the power amplifier and the isolator and fed to a diode power detector. The output of the detector is low pass filtered and the voltage is then AD converted in BB. The power detector circuitry is calibrated in manufacturing.
Another function of the detector voltage is to steer the DC/DC converter, which is providing a variable supply voltage for the WCDMA PA.
WCDMA PA module
WCDMA PA is housed in a separate module having
• a variable supply voltage input for the amplifier stages (Vcc11),
• a battery supply voltage for the bias circuits (Vcc12),
• and two bias current inputs. Bias currents are generated by 5-bit DA converters in N7501 RF ASIC. The converters are controlled by BB via
RFBus. In production the PA quiescent current is set according to PA vendor’s specifications. If another PA is changed
to the phone, this setting must be set again. The bias currents are also used as PA on/off controls. The structure of the WCDMA PA is shown in the following
figure. The supply voltage for the output stage is got from a DCDC converter in order to improve the efficiency at low power levels.

The DCDC converter limits the lowest supply voltage to 1.5 V. At highest power levels the DCDC converter output settles nominally to 3.2 V.

GSM transmitter

An analogue IQ modulated signal is received to N7501 from digital BB. The signal is first low pass filtered with filter corner frequency set to approximately 200 kHz. After the filter, the
signal is routed to the GSM modulator. The appropriate routing after the modulator is selected by biasing either EGSM900 or GSM1800/1900 variable
gain amplifier. The amplifier gives 40 dB of power control dynamic range. After the VGA stage the signal exits N7501. In case of GSM1800/1900 the signal goes directly to the GSM PA
module. In case of EGSM900, the PA module is preceded by a SAW filter. After the filter, the signal is fed to GSM PA module. Finally the signal is routed via antenna switch to the antenna.

GSM power control
A closed control loop comprise an integrated power detector (in PA module) and an error amplifier. The error amplifier resides in N7501, and it controls the transmitter power of GSM.
Detector output from the PA gives a DC level proportional to the output power. The DC voltage is fed to the negative input of the error amplifier, where it is compared to the level of the reference signal, TXC. TXC is got from the BB circuitry. The output of the error amplifier is fed to a buffer amplifier, which in turn steers the VGA amplifier.
The TXC signal also contains the output power ramp waveform, which is optimized in order to meet the transient spectrum and burst timing requirements. PA is switched on and off by changing the bias currents. As a result the output power ramping and final power level of the transmitter are set in a controlled manner.
During EDGE operation 8-PSK modulation is utilized. In the 8-PSK modulation, there are envelope variations during the data transmission. This presents extra requirement to the linearity of the PA. Therefore the PA is set to a dedicated EDGE mode by setting a specific mode control signal up (Vmode). The bias currents are also adjusted in order to improve the linearity.
Because of the 8-PSK modulation, the power control loop has to be opened during the data transmission in EDGE mode. Otherwise a part of the envelope variations could be canceled out by control loop and signal information contents and spectrum would be deteriorated. Loop is opened with a dedicated TXA-signal via RFBus. When the power is ramped up, a modulating bit sequence producing a constant envelope waveform is used and the power control loop is closed. Once the wanted power level has been reached, the loop is opened and the power control voltage is kept constant by a capacitor integrated to N7501 Tx ASIC. When the active part of the burst is over, the loop is again closed and the power is ramped down. The TXA signal is disabled during GMSK transmission.
Power control loop is enabled and disabled by writing an appropriate register in N7501 RF ASIC. In case of dual slot transmission, the output power is ramped down between the consecutive slots.

GSM PA module
A single GSM/EDGE PA module contains two separate amplifier chains, one for EGSM900 and another for GSM1800/1900. Both amplifiers have a battery supply connection and two bias current inputs. The bias current for final amplifier stage is adjusted according the power level in use in order to optimise efficiency. The bias currents are also used as on/off switching signals for PAs.
In the EDGE mode, PA linearity has to be higher than in GMSK mode because of envelope variations of the 8-PSK modulations. This is achieved by increasing the bias currents compared to the GMSK mode and setting a dedicated Vmode control signal up. Increasing bias currents improves the linearity of the amplifiers, but it also tends to unnecessarily increase the gain of the PA. Vmode control aims to keep the gain of the amplifiers down.
The bias current needed for the maximum and the lowest output powers is specified by a PA manufacturer. The current for the intermediate power levels is then linearly adjusted between these two values.
PA detection
It is possible to use PAs manufactured by different vendors. Because of this it is possible to set manufacturer specific bias values for the PA. PA is detected by DSP SW in manufacturing phase. If PA is changed this detection routine must be rerun before Tx calibrations. Components R7518, R7522, R7528 and R7534 are part of PA version detection circuitry.

Frequency synthesizers

RF has separate synthesizers for Rx and Tx. Both synthesizers consist of:
• PLL
• loop filter
• VCO
• balun The VCO frequencies are locked by PLLs into a reference oscillator, VCTCXO. The PLLs are located in N7500 and N7501 respectively and controlled via RFBus. PLL charge pump charges or
discharges the integrator capacitor in the loop filter depending on the phase of the measured frequency compared to the phase of the reference frequency. The integrator output voltage is connected to the control input of the VCO.
The VCOs operate at the channel frequency multiplied by two in GSM1800/1900/WCDMA and by four in EGSM900. The required frequency dividers required for modulators are integrated in N7501 and those for demodulators in N7500. The dividers are controlled via RFBus.

Reference oscillators
As a reference oscillator for the frequency synthesizers a 38.4MHz VCTCXO (voltage controlled temperature compensated crystal oscillator) is used.
The output signal of the VCTCXO is directly connected to both N7500 and N7501 where it’s used as synthesizer reference. N7500 also contains a balanced buffered output for supplying the clock signal to the digital BB ASIC and a single ended buffer for Bluetooth.
The frequency of the reference oscillator is locked into the frequency of the base station with the help of an AFC voltage, which is generated in BB by DSP and converted by dedicated DAC.

Regulators

N7500 and N7501 contain integrated regulators to supply regulated voltages for their internal circuitry and other RF parts. Rx VCO supply is got via a switch from N7500 VR1 regulator. VCO can be switched on and off by controlling the switch via RFBus.
Supply voltage for the VCTCXO is provided by a BB mixed mode ASIC. The same supply is used for reference clock input buffers (in N7500 and N7501), output buffers (from N7500 to BB) and for the digital control blocks of both RF ASICs. When the VCTCXO regulator is set active, the control blocks of the RF ASICs also wake up. After that the integrated regulators can be controlled via RFBus.
Other supplies, like 4.7V supply for PLL charge pumps and bias reference (VREFRF01) are also provided by the BB mixed mode ASIC.
