23 CIRCUIT OPERATION (HANDSET)

23.1. Outline

Handset consists of the following ICs as shown in BLOCK DIAGRAM (HANDSET) (P.57).
· DECT BBIC (Base Band IC): IC1
− − − − All data signals (forming/analyzing ACK or CMD signal)
− − − − All interfaces (ex: Key, Detector Circuit, Charge, DC/DC Converter, EEPROM, LCD)
· RF Module: IC3
− − − − PLL Oscillator
− − − − Detector
− − − − Compress/Expander
− − − − Amplifier for transmission and reception
· EEPROM: IC2
− − − − Temporary operating parameters (for RF, etc.)
Note:
Refer to EEPROM LAYOUT (HANDSET) (P.68).

23.2. Power Supply Circuit/Reset Circuit

Circuit Operation:
When power on the Handset, the voltage is as follows;
BATTERY(2.2 V ~ 2.6 V: TP3) → TP14(4 V) → IC3(6, 27), D3 → IC1(37) → IC1(39, 63) (2.65V)
The Reset signal generates R19, C23 and 2.65V.

23.3. Charge Circuit

Circuit Operation:
When charging the handset on the Base Unit, the charge current is as follows;
DC+(5.5 V ~ 6 V) → D4 → R43, R44 → CHARGE+(Base) → CHARGE+(Handset) → L4 → Q2→ F1 → BATTERY+... Battery...
BATTERY- → R21 → GND → L5 → CHARGE-(Handset)→ CHARGE-(Base) → GND → DC-(GND)
In this way, the BBIC on Handset detects the fact that the battery is charged.
The charge current is controlled by switching Q2 of Handset.
Refer to Fig.101 in Power Supply Circuit (P.55).

23.4. Battery Low/Power Down Detector

Circuit Operation:
"Battery Low" and "Power Down" are detected by BBIC which check the voltage from battery.
The detected voltage is as follows;
· Battery Low
Battery voltage: V(Batt) < 2.3 V
The BBIC detects this level and "
· Power Down
Battery voltage: V(Batt) < 2.2 V
The BBIC detects this level and power down.

23.5. Speakerphone

The hands-free loudspeaker at SP+ and SP- is used to generate the ring alarm. IC101 is used to switch off the telephone
loudspeaker and is used to amplify the signal to drive the hands-free loudspeaker. They are selected using the SP_AMP line
from pin 49 of the BBIC.
" starts flashing and "battery alarm" starts ringing.
