Baseband Description and Troubleshooting
Power Up
The mobile terminal can use the power key and a charger to power up.
Power Key
When the power key is pressed, the PM enters the power-up sequence. Pressing the
power key causes the KPADPWR_N pin ("PHONE_ON" net in schematic) to GND.
The power key is directly connected to the PM. This means that when the power key
is pressed, an interrupt will be generated to the MSM in order to power on the MCU.
The MCU reads the PM IC's interrupt register and notifies that it is a KPADPWR_N
interrupt. If the power key does not indicate a valid power-on situation, the MCU
powers off the baseband.
Charger
Charging is controlled by start-up charging circuitry in order to detect and start
charging in case the main battery is empty and the PM has no supply.
External supply source is detected
If a valid source is applied to VCHG (pin 1 of PM IC, "VEXT_DC" net) and the battery
voltage of VPH_PWR exceeds PM's valid UVLO (2.5V) threshold, the power-on
sequence of PM is initiated and enables its internal regulators. UVLO is the minimum
voltage required for PM6610 operation. If the entire power-on sequence is successful,
the appropriate interrupt from PM will be sent to the MSM. Once the battery voltage
rises above 3.0V (min. MSM operation voltage), code start running on MSM. The
MSM reads PM registers to identify the power source and whether battery charging
is required. If a valid supply voltage is applied while the PM IC is on, the power-on
sequence is skipped. A charging sequence will then be initiated.
Power Off
While the PS_HOLD signal from the MSM is high, and the PM IC is in one of its
power-on states. Under this condition, the PM continually monitors three events that
could trigger a power-off sequence:
The MSM drives the PS_HOLD signal low responding to the pressing of the
keypad power button.
Battery voltage drops below power off threshold (Battery voltage < 3.3 V).
The PM IC die temperature exceeds its "severe" over-temperature threshold.
