1 Introduction of DS210 1.1 ID DS210 is a real dual-SIM and dual-online phone. It’s developed and designed based on the MTK platform. Besides the basic call function, DS210 provides you with a collection of practical functions, including 262k colors screen, 2.0M pixel camera, Bluetooth, FM, File manager(T-Flash card supported), recorder, MP3, MP4 player.
includes antenna interface, FEM, PA and transceiver (power supply belongs to BB). BB includes Baseband processor MT6235 (integrate PMU), NAND + SDRAM, LCM, CMOS Sensor, Bluetooth, FM and keyboard. The MT6139, which is the core IC in RF, adopts direct-conversion architecture with automatic, and supports EGSM/DCS and 26MHz VCXO reference, with a fully-integrated LC-tank VCO and integrated regulator.

Base-station through the antenna. The signal interface between RF circuit and Baseband is analog Baseband I/Q signal. The performance of RF circuit can directly affects the signal transmission quality of the mobile phone. The schematic of RF block for DS210 is show blow:...
From the chart we can see that the RF part is mainly composed of a transceiver chip (MT6139), some RX SAW filters, reference crystal oscillator, power amplifier & antenna switch module, antenna and the matching components between each other. 3.2.2 Receiver The receiver section of MT6139 includes Quad-band Low-Noise Amplifiers(LNAs), RF quadrature mixers, channel...
3.2.3 Transmitter The transmitter section of MT6139 includes Baseband I/Q filters, I/Q modulators, frequency dividers, output buffers and a bias-core circuit. BB I/Q signals are fed into the one-pole RC low-pass filter first for better out-of-the-band noise performance. The I/Q modulators are responsible for translating the BB I/Q signals to the transmitting frequencies.
32 to 127. A conventional digital-type Phase-Frequency Detector (PFD) with a charge pump is used for phase comparison. By changing the output current of the charge pump, the phase detector gain can be programmed from 50/2p mA/rad to 400/2p mA/rad. To reduce the acquisition time or to enable fast settling time-for multi-slot data services such as GPRS, a digital frequency calibration loop along with a fast-acquisition system are implemented in the RF synthesizer.
3.3 Principle of Baseband circuit 3.3.1 Baseband chip—MT6325 The Baseband chip MT6235 is a single-chip solution for GSM/GPRS/EDGE mobile phones. Based on the 32-bit ARM926EJ-s RISC processor, MT6235 support GPRS Class 12. It is the core part of the whole system, it is in charge of the management of all the other parts.

3.3.2.3 Charge Circuit The typical charging procedure can be divided into three phases: pre-charging, constant current mode charging, and constant voltage mode charging. Picture 3.3.2.3.2 shows the flow chart of the charging procedure. Most of the charger circuits are integrated in PMU of MT6235 except for one PMOS, one diode and one accurate resistor for current sensing.
3.3.3 SIM interface 3.3.4 Principle of audio frequency circuit The Audio Frequency( AF ) circuit includes four parts: receiver, speaker, microphone and headset. The speaker is drove by an Class D amplifier. The baseband chip sends the AF signal, MP3_OUTL, to the amplifier. After the AF signal is amplified, it goes to the speaker.
3.3.5 LCD circuit LCD occupies 18 bits of the data interface( LCM_D0 ~ LCM_D17), five control bus(LCM_CS is LCM enable signal, LCM_RS is LCM select signal for data and command, LCM_WRB is LCM write signal, LCM_RDB is LCM read signal, LRSTB is LCM reset signal), two power supplies(V_LCM is LCD analog supply voltage 2.8V, VDD is LCD I/O supply voltage 1.8V).
2.0M pixels. With its high performance application platform, MT6235 allows efficient processing of image and video data. Image signal processor inside MT6235 support VGA/XGA sensor YUV422/RGB565 interface. DS210 adopts YUV422 interface. The ISP supports many functions, Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Hue Tuning and Input Image Grab Window.
System interface DS210 use a 12pin port as system interface. Pin1 and Pin2 are used for charging battery. Pin3 and Pin7 are used for downloading software or dubugging. Pin4 and Pin6 are used for USB communication. Pin5 is PWRKEY to generate a power on interrupt.
In DS210, MT6235 supplies power for FM chip, signal AVDD( 2.8V ), and communicates with the FM chip through I2C bus. The audio signals, FM_INL and FM_INR, are dealt with MT6235’s audio block, then sent to system interface to headphone.
