Introduction
Electrical Modules
The system module AK4 consists of Radio Frequency (RF) and baseband (BB). User Interface (UI) contains display, keyboard, IR link, vibra, HF/HS connector and audio parts. FM radio is located on the main PWB AK4. The electrical part of the keyboard is located in separate UI PWB named KU4. KU4 is connected to radio PWB through spring connectors. The Baseband blocks provide the MCU, DSP, external memory interface and digital control functions in the UPP ASIC. Power supply circuitry, charging, audio processing and RF control hard ware are in the UEM ASIC. The purpose of the RF block is to receive and demodulate the radio frequency signal from the base station and to transmit a modulated RF signal to the base station. The UI module is described in a dedicated section of the manual.

CCS Technical Documentation

System Module
The System module (or Engine) consists of Baseband and RF sub-modules, each described below.

Baseband Module
Main functionality of the baseband is implemented into two ASICs: UPP (Universal Phone Processor) and UEM (Universal Energy Management). UPP ASIC provides the MCU, DSP, external memory interface and digital control functions. UEM ASIC contains power supply circuitry, charging, audio processing and RF control hardware. The baseband architecture supports a power saving function called "sleep mode". This sleep mode shuts off the VCTCXO, which is used as system clock source for both RF and baseband. During the sleep mode the system runs from a 32 kHz crystal. The phone is waken up by a timer running from this 32 kHz clock supply. The sleep time is determined by net work parameters. Sleep mode is entered when both the MCU and the DSP are in standby mode and the normal VCTCXO clock is switched off. NPM-6 supports both three and two wire type of Nokia chargers. Three wire chargers are treated like two wire ones. There is not separate PWM output for controlling charger but it is connected to GND inside the bottom connector. Charging is controlled by UEM ASIC (Universal Energy Management) and EM SW running in the UPP (Universal Phone Processor). BL-4C Li-ion rechargeable battery is used as main power source for NPM-6. BL-4C has a capacity of 720 mAh.

Technical Summary
Baseband of the NPM-6 is running from power rails 2.8V analog voltage and 1.8V I/O voltage. UPP core voltages can be lowered down to 1.0V, 1.3V and 1.5V. UEM includes 6 linear LDO (low drop-out) regulator for baseband and 7 regulator for RF. It also includes 4 current sources for biasing purposes and internal usage. UEM also includes SIM interface which has supports both 1.8V and 3V SIM cards. A real time clock function is integrated into the UEM, which utilizes the same 32kHz clock supply as the sleep clock. A backup power supply is provided for the RTC-battery, which keeps the real time clock running when the main battery is removed. The backup power supply is a rechargeable surface mounted Li-Ion battery. The backup time with the battery is 30 minutes minimum. The interface between the baseband and the RF section is mainly handled by the UEM ASIC. The UEM 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 user interface. The UEM supplies the analog TXC and AFC signals to RF section according to the UPP DSP digital control.

System Module and User Interface

CCS Technical Documentation

Data transmission between the UEM and the UPP is implemented using two serial busses, DBUS for DSP and CBUS for MCU. There are also separate signals for PDM coded audio. Digital speech processing is handled by the DSP inside UPP ASIC. The UEM is a dual voltage circuit, the digital parts are running from the baseband supply 1.8V and the analog parts are running from the analog supply 2.78V also VBAT is directly used. The baseband supports both internal and external microphone inputs and speaker outputs. Input and output signal source selection and gain control is performed by the UEM according to control messages from the UPP. Keypad tones, DTMF, and other audio tones are generated and encoded by the UPP and transmitted to the UEM for decoding. An external vibra alert control signals are generated by the UEM with separate PWM outputs. NPM-6 has two serial control interfaces: FBUS and MBUS. FBUS can be accessed through a test pad and the System Connector as described later. The MBUS can be accessed through the production test pattern as described in section MBUS Interface EMC shielding is implemented using a metallized plastic frame. On the other side, the engine is shielded with PWB grounding.

Functional Description
Modes of Operation
AK4 baseband has six different functional modes: No supply Back-up Acting Dead Active Sleep Charging

No Supply In NO_SUPPLY mode, the phone has no supply voltage. This mode is due to disconnection of main battery and backup battery or low battery voltage level in both of the batteries. Phone is exiting from NO_SUPPLY mode when sufficient battery voltage level is detected. Battery voltage can rise either by connecting a new battery with VBAT > VMSTR+ or by connecting charger and charging the battery above VMSTR+. Back-up In BACK_UP mode the backup battery has sufficient charge but the main battery can be disconnected or empty (VBAT < VMSTR and VBACK > VBUCOFF). VRTC regulator is disabled in BACK_UP mode. VRTC output is supplied without regulation from backup battery (VBACK). All the other regulators are disabled in BACK_UP mode. Acting Dead If the phone is off when the charger is connected, the phone is powered on but enters a state called "Acting Dead". To the user, the phone acts as if it was switched off. A battery charging alert is given and/or a battery charging indication on the display is shown to acknowledge the user that the battery is being charged. Active In the Active mode the phone is in normal operation, scanning for channels, listening to a base station, transmitting and processing information. There are several sub-states in the active mode depending on if the phone is in burst reception, burst transmission, if DSP is working etc. One of the sub-states of the active mode is FM radio on state. In that case, Audio Amplifier and FM radio are powered on. FM radio circuitry is controlled by the MCU and

13MHz-reference clock is generated in the UPP. VFLASH2 regulator is operating. In Active mode the RF regulators are controlled by SW writing into EM's registers wanted settings: VR1A can be enabled or disabled. VR2 can be enabled or disabled and its output voltage can be programmed to be 2.78V or 3.3V. VR4 -VR7 can be enabled, disabled, or forced into low quiescent current mode. VR3 is always enabled in Active mode. Sleep Mode Sleep mode is entered when both MCU and DSP are in stand­by mode. Sleep is controlled by both processors. When SLEEPX low signal is detected UEM enters SLEEP mode. VCORE, VIO and VFLASH1 regulators are put into low quiescent current mode. All the RF regulators are disabled in SLEEP. When SLEEPX=1 detected UEM enters ACTIVE mode and all functions are activated. The sleep mode is exited either by the expiration of a sleep clock counter in the UEM or by some external interrupt, generated by a charger connection, key press, headset connection etc. In sleep mode VCTCXOr is shut down and 32 kHz sleep clock oscillator is used as reference clock for the baseband. Charging Charging can be performed in any operating mode. NPM-6 supports the standard NMP charger interface. Supported chargers are ACP-7, ACP-8, ACP-9, ACP-12, LCH-8 and LCH-9. Charging is controlled by the UEM ASIC and external components are needed for EMC, reverse polarity and transient protection of the input to the baseband module. The charger connection is through the system connector interface. The NPM-6 baseband is designed to support DCT3 chargers from an electrical point of view. Both 2- and 3-wire type chargers are supported. The operation of the charging circuit has been specified in such a way as to limit the power dissipation across the charge switch and to ensure safe operation in all modes. Battery 720 mAh Li-ion battery pack BL-4C is used in NPM-6.

Power Up and Reset
Power up and reset is controlled by the UEM ASIC. NPM-6 baseband can be powered up in following ways: Press power button which means grounding the PWRONX pin on UEM Connect the charger to the charger input Supply battery voltage to the battery pin. RTC Alarm, the RTC has been programmed to give an alarm After receiving one of the above signals, the UEM counts a 20ms delay and then enters its reset mode. The watchdog starts up, and if the battery voltage is greater than Vcoff+ a 200ms delay is started to allow references etc. to settle. After this delay elapses the VFLASH1 regulator is enabled. 500us later VR3, VANA, VIO and VCORE are enabled. Finally the PURX line is held low for 20 ms. This reset, PURX, is fed to the baseband ASIC UPP, resets are generated for the DSP and the MCU. During this reset phase the UEM forces the VCXO regulator on regardless of the status of the sleep control input signal to the UEM. The sleep signal from the ASIC is used to reset the flash during power up and to put the flash in power down during sleep. All baseband regulators are switched on at the UEM power on except for the SIM regulator that is controlled by the MCU. The UEM internal watchdog is running during the UEM reset state, with the longest watchdog time selected. If the watchdog expires, the UEM returns to power off state. The UEM watchdog is internally acknowledged at the rising edge of the PURX signal in order to always give the same watchdog response time to the MCU.

A/D Channels
The UEM contains the following A/D converter channels that are used for several measurement purpose. The general slow A/D converter is a 10 bit converter using the UEM interface clock for the conversion. An interrupt will be given at the end of the measurement. The UEM's 11-channel analog to digital converter is used to monitor charging functions, battery functions, user interface and RF functions. When the conversion is started the converter input is selected. Then the signal processing block creates a data with MSB set to'1' and others to'0'. In the D/A converter this data controls the switches which connect the input reference voltage (VrefADC) to the resistor network. The generated output voltage is compared with the input voltage under measurement and if the latter is greater, MSB remains'1' else it is set'0'. The following step is to test the next bit and the next...until LSB is reached. The result is then stored to ADCR register for UPP to read. The monitored battery functions are battery voltage (VBATADC), battery type (BSI) and

The battery type is recognized through a resistive voltage divider. In phone there is a 100kW pull up resistor in the BSI line and the battery has a pull down resistor in the same line. Depending on the battery type the pull down resistor value is changed. The battery temperature is measured equivalently except that the systemboard has an NTC pull down resistor in the BTEMP line. KEYB1&2 inputs are used for ambient temperature sensor. These inputs are also routed internally to the miscellaneous block. The monitored RF function is PATEMP detection. PATEMP input is used to measure temperature of the RFIC, the Helga.

External Audio
NPM-6 is designed to support fully differential external audio accessory connection. A headset can be directly connected to the system connector. With NPM-6, two different kinds of headsets can be used; Stereo and Mono headset. Headset is also used as antenna input for the FM radio. Headset implementation uses separate microphone and earpiece signals. The accessory is detected by the HeadInt signal when the plug is inserted. Normally when no plug is present the internal pull-down on the HF pin pulls down the HeadInt signal. Due to the that the comparator level is 1.9V the HeadInt signal will not change state even if the HF output is biased to 0.8V. When the plug is inserted the switch is opened and the HeadInt signal is pulled up by the internal pull-up. The 1.9V threshold level is reached and the comparator output changes to low state causing an interrupt. The hook signal is generated by creating a short circuit between the headset microphone signals. When no accessory is present, the HookInt signal is pulled up by the UEM resistor.

When the accessory is inserted and the microphone path is biased the HookInt signal decreases to 1.8V due to the microphone bias current flowing through the resistor. When the button is pressed the microphone signals are connected together, and the HookInt input will get half of micbias dc value 1.1 V. This change in DC level will cause the HookInt comparator output to change state, in this case from 0 to 1. The button can be used for answering incoming calls but not to initiate outgoing calls.

RF Module
The RF module comprises all RF functions of the NPM-6 engine. it is a triple band EGSM900 / GSM1800 / GSM1900 transceiver It is supporting GGSM1800PRS, EGPRS and HSCSD protocols and multislot classes 1 to 6. Transmitter and receiver have been implemented by using direct conversion architecture which means that the modulator and demodulator operate at the channel frequency. The core of the RF is the Helga RF ASIC. Other main components include - the power amplifier module which includes two amplifier chains, one for EGSM900 and the other for GSM1800/GSM1900. - 26 MHz VCTCXO for frequency reference, - 3420-3980 MHz SHF VCO (super high frequency voltage controlled oscillator), - front end module with a RX/TX switch and two RF bandpass SAW filters inside, and three additional SAW filters. EGSM900 and GSM1800 LNA's (low noise amplifier) for the receiver front-end are integrated in the Helga while GSM1900 LNA is external. The RF module includes metal shields for PA, the Helga and FM Radio. Internal antenna is based on the PIFA concept (planar inverted F-antenna). The RF is controlled by the baseband section of the engine through a serial bus, referred later on as RFBus. This serial bus is used to pass the information about the frequency band, mode of operation, and synthesizer channel for the RF. In addition, exact timing information and receiver gain settings are transferred through the RFBus. Physically, the bus is located between the baseband ASIC called UPP and the Helga. Using the information obtained from UPP the Helga controls itself to the required mode of operation and further sends control signals to the front end and power amplifier modules. In addition to the RFBus there are other interface signals for the power control loop and VCTCXO control and for the modulated waveforms.

Regulators The transceiver baseband section has a multi function analog ASIC, UEM, which contains among other functions six pieces of 2.78 V linear regulators and a 4.8 V switching regulator. All the regulators can be controlled individually by the 2.78 V logic directly or through a control register. Normally, direct control is needed because of switching speed requirement: the regulators are used to enable the RF-functions which means that the controls must be fast enough. The seven regulators are named VR1 to VR7. VrefRF01 is used as the reference voltages for the Helga, VrefRF01 (1.35V) for the bias reference and for the RX ADC (analog-todigital converter) reference. The regulators (except for VR7) are connected to the Helga. Different modes of operation can be selected inside the Helga according to the control information coming through the RFBus.

Frequency synthesizers The VCO frequency is locked by a phase locked loop (PLL) and VCTCXO which is running at 26 MHz. The frequency of the VCTCXO is in turn locked into the frequency of the base station with the help of an AFC voltage which is generated in UEM by an 11 bit D/A (digital-to-analog) converter. The PLL is located in the Helga and is controlled through the RFBus. Loop filter filters out the comparison pulses of the phase detector and generates a DC control voltage to the VCO. The dividers are controlled via the RFBus. RFBusData is for the data, RFBusClk is a serial clock for the bus and RFBusEna1X is a latch enable, which stores the new data into the dividers. Receiver Each receiver path is a direct conversion linear receiver. From the antenna the received RF-signal is fed to the front end module where a diplexer first divides the signal to two separate paths according to the band of operation: either lower, EGSM900 or upper, GSM1800/GSM1900 path. At each of the paths a pin-diode switch is used to select either receive or transmit mode. At the upper band in receive mode either GSM1800 or GSM1900 path is further selected by another pin-diode switch. The selections are controlled by the Helga which obtains the mode/band and timing information through the RFBus. After the switches there is a bandpass filter at each of the receiver paths. These filters are included in the front end module, except for GSM1900 where it is external. Then the signal is fed to the LNAs which are integrated in the Helga in EGSM900 and GSM1800 while in GSM1900 the LNA is external. In GSM1900 the amplified signal is fed to another bandpass filter and thereafter to a pregain stage of the mixer while in EGSM900 and GSM1800 the LNA's are directly connected to the pregain stages without having SAW filters in between. The pregain stages as well as all the following receiver blocks are integrated in the Helga. The LNAs have three gain levels. The first one is the maximum gain, the second one is about 30 dB below the maximum, and the last one is the off state. After the pregain stages there are demodulator mixers at each signal path to convert the RF signal directly down to baseband I and Q signals. Local oscillator signals for the mixers are generated by an external VCO the frequency of which is divided by two in GSM1800 and GSM1900 and by four in EGSM900. Those frequency dividers are integrated in the Helga and in addition to the division they also provide accurate phase

shifting by 90 degrees which is needed for the demodulator mixers. The demodulator output signals are all differential. After the demodulators the amplifiers convert the differential signals to single ended. Before that, they combine the signals from the three demodulators to a single path which means that from the output of the demodulators to the baseband interface there are just two signal paths (I and Q) which are common to all the frequency bands of operation. In addition, the amplifiers perform the first part of the channel filtering and AGC: they have two gain stages, the first one with a constant gain of 12 dB and 85 kHz -3 dB bandwidth and the second one with a switchable gain of 6 dB and -4 dB. The filters in the amplifier blocks are active RC filters. The rest of the analog channel filtering is provided by blocks called BIQUAD. After the amplifier and BIQUAD blocks there is another AGC-amplifier which provides a gain control range of 42 dB in 6 dB steps. In addition to the AGC steps, the last AGC stage also performs the real time DC offset compensation which is needed in a direct conversion receiver. DC offset compensation is performed during the operations called DCN1 and DCN2. DCN1 is carried out by charging off-chip capacitors in the last AGC stages to a voltage which causes a zero DC offset. DCN2 is used to set the signal offset to a constant value, VrefRF_02 which is 1.35 V. That voltage level is then used as a zero level for RX ADCs which are located in UEM. After the last AGC and DC offset compensation stages the single ended and filtered Iand Q-signals are finally fed to the RX ADCs. The maximum peak-to-peak voltage swing for the ADCs is 1.45 V. In the Helga there is a port called RF-temp which can be used for compensation of RX SAW filters thermal behavior. The temperature information to the Helga comes from a voltage over two diodes when the diodes are fed with temperature independent, constant current. Transmitter The transmitter consists of two final frequency IQ-modulators and power amplifiers, for the lower and upper bands separately, and a power control loop. The IQ-modulators are integrated in the Helga, as well as the operational amplifiers of the power control loop. The two power amplifiers are located in a single module which also includes the power detector and the directional coupler. Loop filter parts of the power control loop are implemented as discrete components on the PWB. In the GMSK mode the power is controlled by adjusting the DC bias levels of the power amplifiers. The modulated waveforms, i.e. the I- and Q-signals, are generated by the baseband part of the engine module. After post filtering, implemented as RC-networks, they go into the IQ-modulator. Local oscillator signals for the modulator mixers are generated by an external VCO the frequency of which is divided by two in GSM1800 and in GSM1900 and

by four in EGSM900. Those frequency dividers are integrated in the Helga and in addition to the division they also provide accurate phase shifting by 90 degrees which is needed for the modulator mixers. At the upper band there is a dual mode buffer amplifier at the output of the IQ-modulator. The final amplification is realized by a three stage power amplifier. There are two different amplifier chains in a single amplifier module, one for EGSM900 and one for GSM1800/GSM1900. The lower band power amplifier is able to deliver over 2 W of RF power, while the capability of the upper band amplifier is over 1 W. In the GMSK mode the gain control is implemented by adjusting the bias voltages of the first two transistor stages thereby reaching the dynamic range of over 70 dB. After the power amplifier the signal goes through a low pass filter and a pin-diode switch which is used to select between the reception and transmission. Finally, the two signal paths, lower and upper band, are combined in a diplexer after which the signal is routed through the antenna. Power control circuitry consists of a power amplifier and an error amplifier. The power amplifier produces a voltage level related to the value of the RF voltage. It is fed to the negative input of the error amplifier where it is compared to the level of the reference signal, TXC, obtained from UEM. Depending on the difference between the two signals the biases of the power amplifier stages are either increased or decreased to get the correct power level out of the power amplifier. Front End The front end module includes: - Antenna 50 ohm input - RX GSM1900 single output, RX EGSM900 and GSM1800 balanced output - TXs EGSM900 and GSM1800/GSM1900 single 50 ohm input -3 control lines from the Helga
