3.2 Power Supply

3.2.1 Power Supply Description

The power supply required for the Q52Omni is a dual rail supply; VCC_3V6 and VCC_12V. VCC_12V is only required to support Satellite mode operation. VCC_3V6 is used for GSM/GPRS, Satellite and GPS operation.

The power supply is one of the key issues in the design of a dual mode terminal. Operation in GSM mode requires particularly careful attention to the ability of the power supply to provide clean DC power.

Due to the burst emission mode used in GSM/GPRS, the VCC_3V6 power supply must be able to deliver high current peaks in a short time. During the peaks, the ripple (U Power Supply Voltage

• In communication mode, a GSM/GPRS class 2 terminal emits 577μs radio

) on the supply voltage must not exceed a certain limit (see Table 3:

bursts every 4.615ms (see

• In communication mode, a GPRS class 10 terminal emits 1154μs radio bursts every 4.615ms.

Only the VCC_3V6 (+3.6 VDC) power supply input is necessary during GSM mode of operation

VCC_3V6:

• Supplies the GSM RF components. It is essential to keep a minimum voltage ripple at this connection in order to avoid any phase error.

The RF Power Amplifier current (2.0 A peak in GSM /GPRS mode) flows with a ratio of:

• 1/8 of the time (around 577μs every 4.615ms for GSM /GPRS cl. 2) and

• 2/8 of the time (around 1154μs every 4.615ms for GSM /GPRS

cl. 10).

The rise time is around 10μs.

3.2.2 Power Consumption

GSM power consumption is dependent on the configuration used. It is for this reason that the following consumption values are given for each mode, RF band and type of software used (AT or Open AT™).

All the following information is given assuming a 50 Ω RF output.

The following consumption values were obtained by performing measurements on Wireless Microprocessor samples at a temperature of 25° C.

Three VCC_3V6 values are used to measure the consumption, VCC_3V6 VCC_3V6
