There are several different operational modes. Modes have different states controlled by
the cellular SW. Some examples are: Idle State (on ACCH), Camping (on DCCH), Scanning,
Conversation, No Service Power Save (NSPS) previously OOR = Out of Range.
In the power off mode, only the circuits needed for power up are supplied.
In the idle mode, circuits are powered down and only the sleep clock is running.
In the active mode, all the circuits are supplied with power although some parts might
be in 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 core parts of 3560/3520 BB consists of two ASICs—UEM and UPP—and flash memory. The following sections describe these parts.

UEM
UEM introduction
The UEM is the Universal Energy Management IC for DCT4 digital handportable phones.
In addition to energy management, it performs all the baseband mixed-signal functions.
Most UEM pins have 2kV ESD protection and those signals which are considered to be
exposed more easily to ESD have 8kV protection inside UEM. Such signals are all audio
signals, headset signals, BSI, Btemp, Fbus, and Mbus signals.
Regulators
The UEM has six regulators for BB power supplies and seven regulators for RF power supplies. The VR1 regulator has two outputs (VR1a and VR1b). In addition, there are two
current generators (IPA1 and IPA2) for biasing purposes.
A bypass capacitor (1uF) is required for each regulator output to ensure stability.
Reference voltages for regulators require external 1uF capacitors. Vref25RF is reference
voltage for VR2 regulator, Vref25BB is reference voltage for VANA, VFLASH1, VFLASH2,
VR1 regulators, Vref278 is reference voltage for VR3, VR4, VR5, VR6, VR7 regulators,
VrefRF01 is reference voltage for VIO, VCORE, VSIM regulators, and for RF.

VANA regulator supplies internal and external analog circuitry of BB. It is disabled in
sleep mode.
Vflash1 regulator supplies LCD, IR-module and digital parts of UEM and Safari asic. It is
enabled during startup and goes to low Iq-mode in sleep mode.
Vflash2 regulator is not used.
VIO regulator supplies both external and internal logic circuitries. It's used by LCD, flash,
and UPP. Regulator goes in to low Iq-mode in sleep mode.
VCORE regulator supplies DSP and Core part of UPP. Voltage is programmable and the
start-up default is 1.5V. Regulator goes to low Iq-mode in sleep mode.
VSIM regulator is not used.
VR1 regulator uses two LDOs and a charge pump. Charge pump requires one external 1uF
capacitor in Vpump pin and 220nF flying capacitor between pins CCP and CCN. VR1 regulator is used by Safari RF ASIC.
VR2 regulator is used to supply external RF parts, lower band up converter, TX power
detector module, and Safari. In light load situations, VR2 regulator can be set to low
Iq-mode.
VR3 regulator supplies VCTCXO and Safari in RF. It's always enabled when UEM is active.
When UEM is in sleep mode, VR3 is disabled.
VR4 regulator supplies RF parts having low noise requirements. In light load situations,
VR4 regulator can be set to low Iq-mode.
VR5 regulator supplies lower band PA. In light load situations, VR5 regulator can be set
to low Iq-mode.
VR6 regulator supplies higher band PA and TX amplifier. In light load situations, VR6 regulator can be set to low Iq-mode.
VR7 regulator supplies VCO and Safari. In light load situations, the VR7 regulator can be
set to low Iq-mode.
IPA1 and IPA2 are programmable current generators. 27kW/1%/100ppm external resistor
is used to improve the accuracy of output current. IPA1 is used by lower band PA and
IPA2 is used by higher band PA.
RF Interface
The interface between the baseband and the RF section also is handled by UEM. It 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 UI section. The UEM supplies the analog AFC signal to RF section according to
the UPP DSP digital control. It also converts PA & VCTCXO temperature into real data for
the DSP.
Charging Control
The CHACON block of UEM asics controls charging. Needed functions for charging controls are pwm-controlled battery charging switch, charger-monitoring circuitry, and battery voltage monitoring circuitry. In addition, external components are needed for EMC
protection of the charger input to the baseband module. The DCT4 baseband is designed
to support both DCT3 and DCT4 chargers from an electrical point of view.
Digital Interface
Data transmission between the UEM and the UPP is implemented using two serial connections, DBUS (programmable clock) for DSP and CBUS (1.0MHz GSM and 1.08MHz
TDMA) for MCU. UEM is a dual voltage circuit, the digital parts are running from 1.8V
and the analog parts are running from 2.78V. Vbat (3,6V) voltage regulator inputs also
are used.
Audio Codec
The baseband supports two external microphone inputs and one external earphone output. The inputs can be taken from an internal microphone, from a headset microphone,
or from an external microphone signal source through headset connector. The output for
the internal earpiece is a dual-ended type output, and the differential output is capable
of driving 4Vpp to the earpiece with a 60 dB minimum signal to total distortion ratio.
Input and output signal source selection and gain control is performed inside the UEM
Asic according to control messages from the UPP. The buzzer and an external vibra alert
control signals are generated by the UEM with separate PWM outputs.
There are discrete drivers for the MIDI speaker and keyboard LEDs. The drivers for vibra
and display are inside UEM.
AD Converters
There is an 11-channel analog-to-digital converter in UEM. The AD converters are calibrated in the production line.
UPP8M
RH-14 uses UPP8M ASIC. The RAM size is 8M. The UPP ASIC is designed to operate in a
DCT4 engine. The UPP processor architecture consists of both DSP and MCU processors.
Blocks
UPP is internally partitioned into two main parts:
The Processor and Memory System (i.e., Processor cores, Mega-cells, internal memories, peripherals, and external memory interface). This is known as the Brain.
The Brain consists of the blocks: the DSP Subsystem (DSPSS), the MCU Subsystem
(MCUSS), the emulation control (EMUCtl), the program/data RAM (PDRAM) and the
Brain Peripherals–subsystem (BrainPer).
The NMP custom cellular logic functions. This is known as the Body.
The Body contains all interfaces and functions needed for interfacing other DCT4 baseband and RF parts. Body consists of following sub-blocks: MFI, SCU, CTSI, RxModem,
AccIF, UIF, Coder, GPRSCip, BodyIF, SIMIF, PUP, and CDMA (Corona).
Flash Memory
Introduction
The RH-14 tranceivers use a 64-Mbit flash as its external memory. The VIO regulator is
used as a power supply for normal in-system operation. An accelerated program/erase
operation can be obtained by supplying Vpp of 12 volt to the flash device.
The device has two read modes: asynchronous and burst. The Burst read mode is utilized
in RH-14, except for the start-up, when the asynchronous read mode is used for a short
time.
In order to reduce the power consumpition on the bus, a Power Save function is introduced. This reduces the amount of switching on the external bus.
User Interface Hardware
LCD
Introduction
RH-14 uses a color GD51 96 x 65 full dot-matrix graphical display. The LCD module
includes LCD glass, LCD COG-driver, spring connector, and metal frame. The LCD module
is included with the lightguide assembly module.
Interface
SW and the control signals are from the UPP asic. The VIO and Vflash1 regulators supply
the LCD with power. The LCD has an internal voltage booster and a booster capacitor is
required between Vout and GND.
Pin 3 (Vss) is the LCD driver's ground. LCD is controlled by UI SW and control signals.
Booster capacitor (C302 1 uF) is connected between booster pin (Vout) and ground. The
capacitor stores boosting voltage.
Keyboard
Introduction
The RH-14 keyboard follows the Jack III style.
PWR key is located on top of phone.
Power Key
All keyboard signals come from UPP asic, except pwr key signal, which is connected
directly to UEM. Pressing of pwr key is detected so that switch of pwr key connects
PWONX is of UEM to GND and creates an interrupt.
Lights
Introduction
RH-14 has LEDs for lighting purposes: two LEDs for keyboard and two LEDs for display.
LED type is TBSF (white).
Interfaces
Both the display and keyboard lights are controlled through a shared LED driver with a
constant current charge-pump circuit. The driver circuit is controlled by the Dlight signal
from UEM. With appropriate SW, the driver can be PWM controlled for dimming purpose.
Technical Information
LED locates in hole and terminals are soldered on the component side of the module
PWB. The LEDs have a white plastic body around the diode, and this directs the emitted
light better to the UI-side.
The current for the LCD lights is limited by the resistor between the ISET pin of the LED
driver and ground. For the keyboard lights, there are resistors in parallel.
The vibra is located on D-cover and is connected by spring connectors on PWB. It is
located in the left bottom side of the engine.
Interfaces
The vibra is controlled by the PWM signal VIBRA from the UEM. With this signal, it is
possible to control both the frequency and pulse width of signal. Pulse width is used to
control current when the battery voltage changes. Frequency control makes it possible to
search for an optimum frequency to provide silent and efficient vibrating.
Audio Hardware
Earpiece
Introduction
The 13 mm speaker capsule that is used in DCT3 products is also used in RH-14.
The speaker is dynamic. It is very sensitive and capable of producing relatively high sound
pressure at low frequencies.
Microphone
Introduction
The microphone is an electret microphone with an omnidirectional polar pattern. It consists of an electrically polarized membrane and a metal electrode which forms a capacitor. Air pressure changes (i.e., sound) move the membrane, which cause voltage changes
across the capacitor. Becauce the capacitance is typically 2 pF, a FET buffer is needed
inside the microphone capsule for the signal generated by the capacitor. Because of the
FET, the microphone requires a bias voltage.
MIDI Speaker
Introduction
The speaker being used to generate MIDI ring tones is a 13mm SALT speaker. The SALT
speaker is mounted in the D-cover, kept in position by a double adhesive gasket that is
mounted on the front of SALT. The useful frquency range is approximately 340 Hz to
8KHz.
Battery
Phone Battery
Introduction
The battery for the 3560/3520 is the BLC-2 (Li-Ion 1000 mAh).
The battery block contains BTEMP and BSI resistors for temperature measurement and
battery identification. The BSI fixed resistor value indicates the chemistry and default
capacity of a battery. BTEMP-resistor measures the battery temperature. Temperature
and capacity information is needed for charge control. These resistors are connected to
BSI and BTEMP pins of the battery connector. Phone has pull-up resistors (R202) for
these lines so that they can be read by A/D inputs in the phone (see figure below). There
also are spark gaps in the BSI and BTEMP lines to prevent ESD.
Figure 3: Battery Connections.
Batteries have a specific red line which indicates if the battery has been subjected to
excess humidity. The batteries are delivered in a "protection" mode, which gives longer
storage time. The voltage seen in the outer terminals is zero (or floating), and the battery
is activated by connecting the charger. Battery has internal protection for overvoltage
and overcurrent.
