Regulators
The transceiver baseband section has a multi function analog ASIC, UEMEK, which con-
tains 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 Helgo, VrefRF01 (1.35V) for the bias reference and for the RX ADC (analog-to-
digital converter) reference.
The regulators (except for VR7) are connected to the Helgo. Different modes of operation
can be selected inside the Helgo according to the control information coming through
the RFBus.
