FLY E185 Service Manual uplink analog-to-digital (D/A) converters as well as I/Q Gain Mismatch for downlink digital-to-analog (A/D) converters in TX/RX mixed-signal modules. The timing of bit streaming through Baseband Front End is completely under control of TDMA timer. Usually only either of uplink and downlink paths is active at one moment.
Page 11
FLY E185 Service Manual 3.2.2.2 Downlink Path (RX Path) On the downlink path, the sub-block between RX mixed-signal module and Baseband Serial Ports is RX Path. It mainly consists of two parallel digital FIR filter with programmable tap number, two sets of multiplexing paths for loopback modes, interface for RX mixed-signal module, Interference Detection Circuit, I/Q Gain Mismatch compensation circuit, and interface for Baseband Serial Ports.

FLY E185 Service Manual 3.2.2.4 Timing Generator Timing is the most critical issue in GSM/GPRS applications. The TDMA timer provides a simple interface for the MCU to program all the timing-related events for receive event control, transmit event control and the timing adjustment. Detailed descriptions are mentioned in below figure:...
FLY E185 Service Manual 3.3 Principle of Power Management circuit 3.3.1 Charger and protection logic Over-temperature Protection: If the die temperature of PMU exceeds 150°C, the PMU will automatically disable all the LDOs except the V . Once the over-temperature state is resolved, a new power on sequence is required to enable the LDOs.
FLY E185 Service Manual sequence. In addition, when the battery voltage is getting lower and lower, it will enter UVLO state and the PMU will be turned-off by itself, except for V LDO, to prevent further discharging. Once the PMU enters UVLO state, it draws low quiescent current. The RTC LDO is still working until the DDLO disables it.
Page 18
FLY E185 Service Manual 1. Charge Detection The PMU charger block has a detection circuit that senses the charger plug-in/out and provides the correct information to the baseband. If CHRIN is over 4.3V, charger detection will be report to baseband and charger circuit will be enabled. If the CHRIN voltage is over 7V, charger will send an invalid signal to baseband for further indication.

FLY E185 Service Manual 2. Pre-Charging mode When the battery voltage is below the CC threshold, the charging status is in the pre-charging mode. There are two steps in this mode. While the battery voltage is deeply discharged below 2.7V, a 50mA trickle current is used for charging the battery.

FLY E185 Service Manual Figure 3.4.2 Boot sequence 3.4.3 SIM Card interface The MT6236 contains two dedicated smart card interfaces to allow the MCU to access the two SIM cards. Each interface can operate via 5terminals. As shown is the Figure 22, SIMVCC, SIMSEL, SIMRST, SIMCLK and SIMDATA are for one SIM interface, while SIM2VCC, SIM2SEL, SIM2RST, SIM2CLK and SIM2DATA are for the other one.
Page 23
FLY E185 Service Manual The SIMVCC is used to control the external voltage supply to the SIM card and SIMSEL determines the regulated smart card supply voltage. SIMRST is used as the SIM card reset signal. Besides, SIMDATA and SIMCLK are used for data exchange purpose.
FLY E185 Service Manual 3.4.4 Audio frequency circuit The audio front-end essentially consists of voice and audio data paths. Figure 128shows the block diagram of the audio front-end.

FLY E185 Service Manual should diagnose the RX part first before TX. 4.1 Power on problem About the power on problem, first, we should confirm the current of the handset, because the current is very useful for us to analyze the failure. When we connect the handset to DC power supply, we can clearly read the current of this handset.
FLY E185 Service Manual 4.2 Display problem LCD is connected by Solder FPC on the PCB directly. A bad soldering can lead to display failure, so you can check it with your eyes firstly and then measure the Vcc Pin of LCD with digital multi-meter.
Speaker is 8ohm. If not, it means the speaker is broken. Otherwise you need to check the Audio PA circuit to find out the problem. After repaired, you can test it on engineering mode again. By the way, E185 speaker is solder on the main-board.
FLY E185 Service Manual 4.8 FM radio failure If the FM can not work well, please check whether the power supply, clock signal, audio output signal is working normally, then re-solder the FM chip AR1000. 4.9 Signal problem RF failure often occurs in calibration or capability test, the best diagnostic method is to use wireless universal tester, spectrum analyzer and signal source matched with META tool to test it.
