Functional Description
BB description
The BB Core is based on UPP_WD2 CPU, which is a PDA version of the DCT4 UPP ASIC.
UPP_WD2 takes care of all the signal processing and operation controlling tasks of the
phone as well as all PDA tasks.
For power management there is one main ASIC for controlling charging and supplying
power UEM plus some discrete power supplies. The main reset for the system is generated by the UEM.
The interface to the RF and audio sections is also handled by the UEM. This ASIC 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. Data
transmission between UEM and RF and the UPP_WD2 is implemented using different
serial connections (CBUS, DBUS and RFBUS). Digital speech processing is handled by
UPP_WD2 ASIC.
A real time clock function is integrated into UEM, which utilizes the same 32kHz-clock
source as the sleep clock. A rechargeable battery provides backup power to run the RTC
when the main battery is removed. Backup time is about 3 hours.
Memory configuration
RH-29 uses two kinds of memories, Flash and SDRAM. These Memories have their own
dedicated bus interfaces to UPP_WD2.
Synchronous DRAM is used as working memory. Interface is 16 bit wide data and 14 bit
Address. Memory clocking speed is 104 MHz. The SDRAM size 128Mbits (8Mx16).
SDRAM I/O is 1.8 V and core 2.78 V supplied by UEM regulator VIO. All memory contents
are lost if the supply voltage is switched off.
Multiplexed Flash Memory Interface is used to store the MCU program code and User
Data. The memory interface is a burst type FLASH with multiplexed address/data bus,
running at 104/3MHz.
Both Flash I/O and core voltage are 1.8 V supplied by UEM’s VIO.
Energy management
The master of EM control is UEM and with SW this has the main control of the system
voltages and operating modes.
Modes of operation
RH-29 employs several hardware & SW controlled operation modes. Main Modes are
described below.
•NO_SUPPLY mode means that the main battery is not present or its
voltage is too low (below UEM master reset threshold) and back-up battery voltage is too low.
•In BACK_UP mode the main battery is not present or its voltage is too
low but back-up battery has sufficient charge in it.
•In PWR_OFF mode the main battery is present and its voltage is over
UEM master reset threshold. All regulators are disabled.
•RESET mode is a synonym for start-up sequence and contains in fact
several modes. In this mode regulators and oscillators are enabled and
after they have stabilized system reset is released and PWR_ON mode
entered.
•In PWR_ON mode SW is running and controlling the system.
•SLEEP mode is entered from PWR_ON mode when the system’s activity is low (SLEEPX controlled by SW).
•FLASHING mode is for production SW download.
Voltage limits
In the following the voltage limits of the system are listed. These are also controlling system states.:
The master reset threshold controls the internal reset of UEM. If battery voltage is above
V
, UEM’s charging control logic is alive. Also, RTC is active and supplied from the
MSTR
main battery. Above V
UEM allows the system to be powered on although this may
MSTR
not succeed due to voltage drops during start-up. SW can also consider battery voltage
too low for operation and power down the system.
Clocking scheme
A 26 MHz VCXO is used as system clock generator in GSM. During the system start-up,
UEM RC-oscillators generate timing for state machines. All clock signals of the engine

are illustrated in following figure.
Bluetooth uses 26 MHz clock.
Figure 2: RH-29 Clocking.
In SLEEP mode the VCXO is off. UEM generates low frequency clock signal (32.768 kHz)
that is fed to UPP_WD2, Bluetooth and ZOCUS.
UPP_WD2 voltage/clock frequency adjusting
No external clock is available for UPP_WD2 before VCXO starts. As reset is released, the
VCXO is running and MCU uses the 26 MHz clock while DSP is in reset. There are three
identical DPLL's, for MCU, for DSP and for accessory interfaces, which can be controlled
independently. The clock for MCU can be up to 104 MHz and 117 MHz is maximum clock
Frequency for the DSP. These clock signals are used either directly (SDRAM IF) or divided
down for the interfaces (e.g. flash IF).
Power distribution, control and reset
All power (except backup battery power) is drawn from the BL6-C Li-Ion battery located
in the B cover. Current flows through ZOCUS current sense resister which is used for current measurement by ZOCUS and thus for remaining operating time estimation.
1BQ board contains one power ASIC, UEM and discrete regulators needed for generating
the different operating voltages. The discrete regulators consist of an step-down DC-DC
converter to power UPPWD2 voltage core and a step-up DC-DC converter for display
module backlighting. The keyboard backlighting is powered with a discrete driver.
Power-up sequence (reset mode)
RESET mode can be entered in four ways: by inserting the battery or charger, by RTC
alarm or by pressing the power key. The VCXO is Powered by UEM. After a 220 ms delay
regulators are configured and UEM enters PWR_ON mode and system reset PURX is
During system start-up, in RESET state, the regulators are enabled, and each regulator
charges the capacitor(s) at the output with the maximum current (short circuit current)
it can deliver. This results in battery voltage dropping during start-up. When a battery
with voltage level just above the hardware cutoff limit is inserted, the system may not
start due to excessive voltage dipping. Dropping below 2.8 V for longer than 5 us forces
the system to PWR_OFF state.
Powering off
Controlled powering off is done when the user requests it by pressing the power-key or
when the battery voltage falls too low. Uncontrolled powering off happens when the
battery is suddenly removed or if over-temperature condition is detected in regulator
block while in RESET mode. Then all UEM’s regulators are disabled immediately and discrete regulators are disabled as Vbat supply disappears.
Controlled powering off
For RH-29 powering off is initiated by pressing the power key and Power off sequence is
activated in UEM and SW. Basically Power key cause UEM Interrupt to UPP_WD2 and SW
sets Watchdog time value to zero and as this happens, PURX is forced low and all regulators are disabled.
If the battery voltage falls below the very last SW-cutoff level, SW will power off the
system by letting the UEM’s watchdog elapse.
If thermal shutdown limit in UEM regulator block is exceeded, the system is powered off.
System reset PURX is forced low.
Uncontrolled powering off
This happens when the battery is suddenly removed. UEM’s state machine notices battery
removal after battery voltage has been below V
PURX is set low and all UEM’s regulators are disabled.
Watchdogs
There are three watchdogs in UEM. The first one is for controlling system power-on and
power-down sequences. The initial time for this watchdog after reset is 32 s and the
watchdog can not be disabled. The time can be set using a register. This watchdog is used
for powering the system off in a controlled manner. The other one is for security block
and is used during IMEI code setting. The third one is a power key watchdog. It is used to
power off the system in case SW is stuck and the user presses the power key. This WD is
SW configurable.
for 5 us and enters PWR_OFF mode.
COFF-
There is also a”soft watchdog” in UPP_WD2. It is used to reset the chip in case software
gets stuck for any reason. The Bluetooth module also contains a watchdog.
Charging
Charging control and charge switch is in UEM. There are two different charging modes;
RH-29Company Confidential
7 - System ModuleNokia Customer Care
charging empty battery (start-up charge mode), and SW controlled charging.
UEM digital part takes care of charger detection (generates interrupt to UPP_WD2),
pulse width modulated charging control (for internal charge switch) and over voltage
and current detection. SW using registers controls all these.
Chargers
RH-29 BB supports a standard charger (two wires), Chargers ACP-8 and ACP-12, Cigarette Charger LCH-8 and LCH-12 are supported.
Battery
RH-29 Battery is a detachable, semi-fixed Lithium-Ion BL6-C battery. Nominal voltage is
thus 3.7 V (max charging voltage 4.2 V).
The interface consists of three pins: VBAT, GND and BSI. Pull-down resistor inside of the
batteries (BSI signal) recognizes the battery types. Voltage level at BSI line is measured
using UEM's AD-converter.
Back-up battery and real time clock
Real time clock (RTC), crystal oscillator and back-up battery circuitry reside in UEM. A
register in UEM controls back-up battery charging and charging is possible only in
POWER_ON State.
Baseband measurement A/D converter
UEM contains 11 channels A/D converter, which is used for different Baseband measurement purposes. The resolution of A/D converter is 10 bits. Converter uses the CBUS interface clock signal for the conversion. An interrupt will be given to the MCU at the end of
the measurements. The Converter is used for following purposes.
•Battery Voltage Measurement A/D Channel (Internal)
•Charger Voltage Measurement A/D Channel (Internal)
•Charger Current Measurement A/D Channel (Internal)
•Battery Temperature Measurement A/D Channel (External)
•Battery Size Measurement A/D Channel (External)
•LED Temperature measurement A/D Channel (External)
There is also auxiliary AD converter in UEM, which is used to monitor RF functions.
ZOCUS
The ZOCUS device is a current sensor used for the battery bar display and for determining
whether the phone is in a high current consuming mode. The ZOCUS device measures the
voltage drop across a sense resistor in the battery voltage line. This sense resistor is
formed from a PWB track and is on an internal layer of the PWB. The sense resistor must
be located close to the battery terminals so that all of the phones current flow through
it. The nominal value of the sense resistor is 3.3 mohm. ZOCUS reports the current measurement to UPP_WD2 via the Cbus interface.
