This document contains the specification to the Baseband section of the
BS8 module. The BS8 module carries out almost all CMT functions of
RAE–2. BS8 can be divided into two functional sections; BaseBand (BB)
and RF. Some of CMT baseband circuits are implemented to both BS1
and BS2 modules.
The Baseband module BS8 comprises four ASICs (CHAPS, CCONT,
COBBA–GJ and MAD2) that perform the baseband functions of the mod-
ule.

Technical Summary
The BS8 module is implemented on a single double side 8–layer printed
circuit board. The main part of the baseband area is located on the bot-
tom side of the PCB and only some components (bottom connector, bat-
tery connector and some filter components) are placed on the upper side
(RF side). Component height space on the baseband is 2.0mm.

Technical Documentation
The baseband is running from a 2.8V power rail, which is supplied by the
power controlling ASIC. In the CCONT ASIC there are 6 individually con-
trolled regulator outputs for RF–section and two outputs for the base-
band. In addition there is one +5V power supply output (V5V) for flash
programming voltage and for other purposes where a higher voltage is
needed. The CCONT contains also a SIM interface, which supports both
3V and 5V SIM–cards.

The interface between the baseband and the RF section is handled by
the specific ASIC COBBA. The COBBA provides:
– A/D and D/A conversion of the in–phase and quadrature receive and
transmit signal paths
– A/D and D/A conversions of received and transmitted audio signals to
and from the UI section.
The COBBA supplies the analog TXC and AFC signals to the RF section
according to the MAD DSP digital control and converts the analog AGC
into digital signal for the DSP. The data transmission between the COB-
BA and the MAD is implemented using a parallel connection for high
speed signalling and a serial connection for PCM coded audio signals.
Digital speech processing is handled by the MAD asic.
The COBBA is a dual voltage circuit, the digital parts are running from the
baseband supply VBB and the analog parts are running from the analog
supply VCOBBA.

Technical Documentation
The COBBA supports three microphone inputs and two earphone out-
puts. The inputs can be taken from an internal microphone, a headset mi-
crophone or from an external microphone signal source.
The output for the internal earphone is a dual ended type output capable
of driving a dynamic type speaker. Input and output signal source selec-
tion and gain control are performed inside the COBBA according to con-
trol messages from the MAD. Call alerts, keypad tones, DTMF, and other
audio tones are generated and encoded by the MAD and transmitted to
the COBBA for decoding.
EMC shielding (figure below) is implemented on the BB side using a me-
tallized plastic B–cover and conductive gasket between the B–cover and
the PCB. On the RF side the engine is shielded with a conductive frame
which makes a contact to a ground ring of the CMT board and a ground
plane of the PDA board. There is a conductive gasket between the frame
and the PCB for ensuring proper shielding. In addition he RF area has
three metal cans for RF shielding. Heat generated by the circuitry is con-
ducted out mainly via the PCB ground planes.

frame located between the PDA and CMT modules. The bottom connector has spring type connections to the CMT and the PDA module.
The bottom connector includes the following parts:
– DC connector for external plug–in charger and a desktop charger
– System connector for accessories.
– Connector for external RF signal. This connector is equipped with
throw–over–switch. This is needed to change the RF signal path between external and internal antenna depending whether the ext antenna cable is connected or not.

Battery Connector
The electrical specifications for the battery connector are listed in the
next table. The BSI contact of the battery connector is also used to detect
when the battery is removed suddenly.
This information is needed for driving the SIM card safely down before
supply voltage is lost. The BSI contact in the battery connector has
0.5mm shorter working length than
the supply power contacts to give
enough time for the SIM shut down.

Board to Board Connector
All interfaces (except RF antenna
signal) from the BS8 module to the
other RAE–2 modules are routed
over a 50–pins board to board connector. The interfaces can be divided into several groups; CMT–UI,
CMT–HF audio, CMT–PDA, MMC–
PDA and supply lines for the BS1
and the BS2 modules.
The CMT keyboard with keyboard illumination parts and the CMT display
module with display illumination parts are implemented on a separate UI
module (BS2), which contains also the PDA user interface and an antenna matching circuit. The baseband signals to the UI are routed over an
board to board connector to the BS1 module and from the BS1 module
through the hinge flex to the BS2 module.

The Handsfree speaker and earpiece are included in the audio holder.
Because the audio holder and the HF amplifier are located on the PDA
module, several signals through the board to board connector are needed for carrying audios from the CMT to the PDA.
There are data signals for data transmission between the CMT and the
PDA modules. Some I/O signals are needed for carrying logic state information between modules.
Signal definition and the most important specifications of signals are listed
