GB310 Service Manual ☞ Configuration by Function of AD6525 1 Microprocessor Core AD6525 has a built-in ARM7 microprocessor core, including microprocessor interrupt controller, timer/counter, and DMA controller. And besides, 32bit data path is included, and up to 8Mbyte addressing is enabled and can be extended up to 16Mbyte. Although external clock should be provided to operate the microprocessor, this core uses 13MHz VCTCXO to provide clock.
GB310 Service Manual This interfaces the RF part to control power amplifier, Tx LO buffer amplifier, VC-TCXO, and AGC-end on transmit/receive paths in the RF part. 1) Transmitter Interface: This transmits TX_AGC signal to Tx AGC amplifier to adjust transmit power level and sends Ramp_DAC signal to the RF part to control power amplifier.
GB310 Service Manual SRAM has a capacity of 16Mbit(2MByte) and stores system parameters, data buffer, and stack of each task in it. 3 Key Tone Generation All alert signals are generated by the DSP and output to the ABB audio output.
4.2 Radio Transceiver Section Fig.4-1. RF Transceiver block diagram The GB310’s RF Transceiver(U304), which is AERO I, consists of the GSM transmitter,the GSM Receiver, and the RF synthesizer. The highly integrated solution eliminates the IF SAW filter, external low noise amplifiers (LNAs) for three bands, transmit and RF voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) modules, and more than 60 other discrete components found in conventional designs.
GB310 Service Manual Fig.4-2. Top view of RF Transceiver PCB Layout 4.2.1 DC Distribution and Regulation Part The battery voltage, in return, is applied to the logic part and RF part via LDO(Low Drop-Out) regulator. As several LDO regulators are used, power can be supplied for each necessary part efficiently.
GB310 Service Manual GB310’s Aero I transceiver uses a low-IF receiver architecture which allows for the on-chip integration of the channel selection filters, eliminating the external RF image reject filters and the IF SAW filter required in conventional superheterodyne architectures. Compared to a...
