7 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
7.1 Power supply and power management
7.1.1 POWER SUPPLY The UAA3515A is used in a cordless telephone handset
and in a base unit. The handset unit is battery powered and operates on three NiCd cells. The minimum supply voltage (VCC) is 2.9 V.
7.1.2 POWER SAVING When the UAA3515A is used in a handset, it is important
to minimize current consumption. The main operating modes are:
Active mode (talk): all blocks are powered
RX mode: all circuits in the receiver part are powered
Table 1 Power operating modes
CIRCUIT BLOCK ACTIVE MODE RX MODE INACTIVE MODE
Voltage reference adjustment power ON power ON power OFF RF receiver power ON power ON power OFF RX PLL power ON power ON power OFF RX and TX audio paths power ON power OFF power OFF RF TX (and PA, when enabled) power ON power OFF power OFF
Inactive mode: with the exception of the microcontroller interface, all circuits are powered-down. The crystal reference oscillator, the output clock buffer, the voltage regulator and the voltage doubler can be disabled separately. To reduce microcontroller current consumption, the crystal frequency to the clock output canbedivided by 128. A low current consumption mode for the crystal oscillator can be programmed.
Latch memory is maintained in all modes. Blocks that are powered are shown in Table 1 per operating mode.
The crystal oscillator, the clock output buffer, the voltage reference adjustment, the power amplifier, the voltage doubler, the earpiece, the hard limiter and the ALC can be activated separately. Blocks that can be activated in each mode are shown in Table 2.

Notes
1. In RX and active mode, the crystal oscillator is activated automatically. An external frequency can be forced at the crystal pins XTALI and XTALO.
2. In RX and active mode, the voltage reference is enabled automatically (whether bit V

7.1.3 CURRENT CONSUMPTION
The control bit values for selection of each mode and typical current consumption for the modes are shown in Table 3. When clock out is activated there is an extra power demand proportional to the programmed output level (see Table 4
for examples). When bit Xtal high = 0 (oscillator is in low current consumption mode), the crystal in use must have losses less than 20 to ensure oscillator start-up.

7.2 FM receiver
The FM receiver (see Fig.3) has a single frequency conversion architecture with integrated image rejection mixer that makes an external RF filter unnecessary. The Side Band Select (SBS) feature allows choice of frequency for RXLO to be in or out of the ISM band allowing use of the same IC type for both base station and handset. IF channel filtering (a compromise between price and performance) can be implemented simply using two or three external 10.7 MHz filters. The integrated FM PLL demodulator with limiter decreases significantly the number of pins and external components required.

7.2.1 DATA COMPARATOR
The data comparator is an inverting hysteresis comparator. An external bandpass filter is connected between pins DETO and DATI (AC-coupled). The open-collectoroutputiscurrent limited to controltheoutput signal slew rate. An external resistor of 180 kshould be connected between pin DATO and VCC. An external capacitor in parallel with this resistor will reduce the slew rate.

7.3 Transmitter
The transmitter architecture is of the direct modulation type. The transmit VCO can be frequency modulated by speech or data (see Fig.4). An amplifier sums the modulating signal with the data TX signal before the VCO. Frequency control is affected by integrated variable capacitance diodes. To obtain the correct frequency, external inductors in series with the bonding wires and leadframe are required. The power amplifier is capable of driving a 50 load. The level of the output signal PAO is programmed with two bits via the serial bus interface.

7.4 Synthesizer
The crystal local oscillator and reference divider (see Fig.5) provide the reference frequency for the RX and TX PLLs. The 10-bit reference divider is programmed with respect to the crystal frequency and the desired RX and TX frequencies. The microcontroller operating frequency of 4.096 MHz is derived from a 16.384 MHz crystal frequency. The clock divider ratio can be programmed to 1, 2, 2.5, 4 or to 128; ratio 128 is chosen in sleep mode to save current in the microcontroller section. Clock output (pin CLKOUT) is an emitter follower output.
The 16-bit TX counter is programmed for the desired transmit channel frequency. Similarly, the 16-bit RX counter is programmed for the desired local oscillator frequency.Thedividercounter comprises a 6-bit prescaler with division ratios (R) from 64 to 127, and a 10-bit CMOS divider with division ratios (C) from 8 to 1023. The full counter provides division ratios from 512 to 65535. Settings of RX and TX counters are calculated as follows:
C = int
M
-----­64
R=MC×64
(where M is the division ratio between VCO frequency and the reference frequency).

VCOs and variable capacitance diodes are integrated. Resonance inductors are shared between bonding wires, leadframe of the package and external inductors. Costs can be reduced by etching external inductors directly onto the printed-circuit board.
An on-chip selectable voltage doubler is provided to enable a larger tuning range of both VCOs. The phase detectors have current drive type outputs with selection possibilities between 400 and 800 µA.

7.5 Receiver baseband
This section covers the RX audio path from pins RXAI to EARO (see Fig.6). The RXAI input signal is AC-coupled.
The microcontroller sets the value of the RX gain in 32 linear steps of 0.5 dB. The RX baseband has a mute function and an expander with characteristics as shown in Fig.7.
For audio level adjustment and, potentially for software volume control, setting the RX gain provides a dynamic range of 31 dB. This is achieved by the expander slope that multiplies the RX gain by a factor of two for each gain step thus giving 1 dB steps measured at the earpiece amplifier output.
