Chapter 2 Theory of Operation This chapter provides a detailed circuit description of the SSE 5000 transceiver and VOCON boards. When reading the theory of operation, refer to the appropriate schematic and component location diagrams located in the back of this manual. This detailed theory of operation can help isolate the problem to a particular component.
Theory of Operation: Mode of Operation Mode of Operation This section provides an overview of the radio’s receive and transmit operation in the analog mode. 2.2.1 Receiving When the radio is receiving (see Figure 2-2), the signal travels from the antenna connector to the transceiver board, passing through the antenna switch and the receiver front-end.
Theory of Operation: Mode of Operation 2.2.2 Transmitting When the radio is transmitting, microphone audio is passed through gain stages to the CODEC, where the signal is digitized (see Figure 2-3). The CODEC passes digital data to the DSP, where pre- emphasis and low-pass (splatter) filtering are done.
Power Distribution This section provides a detailed circuit description of the power distribution of the SSE 5000 radio. In the SSE 5000 radio, power (B+) is distributed to two boards: the transceiver (RF) board and the VOCON board (see Figure 2-4).
Theory of Operation: Power Distribution even when the On/Off/Volume knob has been turned to the off position, power remains on until the microcontroller unit (MCU) completes its power-down, at which time the radio is physically powered down. 2.3.1 DC Power Routing—Transceiver Board Connector J1, the B+ assembly, connects the battery to the transceiver board.
Theory of Operation: Power Distribution Table 2-4 lists the supply voltages and the circuits that use these voltages. Table 2-4. VOCON Board DC Power Distribution Supply Output Unprogrammed Supply Type Circuits Supplied Name Voltage Output Voltage UNSW_B+ 9 to 6 Vdc Battery VCC5 input 7.5 Vdc...
Theory of Operation: Transceiver Board Transceiver Board The transceiver (XCVR) board performs the transmitter and receiver functions necessary to translate between voice and data from the VOCON board and the modulated radio-frequency (RF) carrier at the antenna. The transceiver board contains all the radio’s RF circuits for the following major components: •...
This interface provides the launch mechanism for the antenna. Antenna port J102 provides RF to the accessory RF connector on the back of the SSE 5000 radio. This port provides RF energy for tuning purposes, as well as RF for a public safety microphone.
The receiver front-end consists of a preselector filter, an RF amplifier, a second preselector, mixer, and an IF crystal filter. The SSE 5000 radio also contains a switchable attenuator between the antenna switch and the first preselector filter. The RF amplifier is a discrete RF transistor with associated circuitry.
Theory of Operation: Transceiver Board 2.4.2.1.2 LNA (Low-Noise Amplifier) The SSE 5000 radio uses a discrete transistor for the low-noise amplifier (Q430). A feedback network between the collector and base improves stability and gain balance across the frequency band. Input and output LC networks match the LNA impedance to 50 ohms.

Abacus III (AD9874) Functional Block Diagram Input signal RXIF is 73.35 MHz IF from crystal filter FL400 in the receiver front-end. Components L547 and C542 match the input impedance to 50 ohms.
2-12 Theory of Operation: Transceiver Board control IC (PCIC) that senses the output of a directional coupler and adjusts PA control voltages to maintain a constant power level. The signal passes through a dual antenna switch and harmonic filters to the antenna or to the remote RF port. Dual Harmonic Antenna...
The directional coupler is U101, a low-loss, bidirectional coupler. 2.4.3.5 Antenna Switch The SSE 5000 has two antenna switches: one standard antenna switch and a remote antenna switch. The standard antenna switch is a quarterwave switch that determines whether the radio is in receive or transmit mode.
Handbook of Filter Synthesis (Zverev, pp. 218–219), where θ = 47.0. This design was chosen because the attenuation at the stop band was the closest to the desired ratio for the SSE 5000 design. The remote port harmonic filter consists of parts C709, C710, C711, C712, C713, L706, and L707.

The FracN IC, U202, is a mixed-mode, Motorola-proprietary, CMOS, fractional-N frequency synthesizer with built-in dual-port modulation. The SSE 5000 radio uses a low-voltage version of the device, sometimes called LVFracN, for compatibility with the 3 V logic used throughout the radio.
2-17 2.4.4.2.3 Modulation To support many voice, data, and signaling protocols, the SSE 5000 radio must modulate the transmitter carrier frequency over a wide audio frequency range, from less than 10 Hz up to more than 6 kHz. The FracN supports audio frequencies down to zero Hz by using dual-port modulation.
2-18 Theory of Operation: VOCON Board • Controller and Memory: The dual-core processor (U401) with the microcontroller unit (MCU) and a digital signal processor (DSP) in a single integrated circuit (IC) package, the SRAM (U403) and Flash (U402) memory devices. •...
Theory of Operation: VOCON Board 2-19 21, and 22. Connections to the external accessory connector, which include serial communication data lines, external audio, and option select lines for controlling audio modes, are present at pins 1 through 13. Switched battery voltage (B+SENSE) is provided on pin 32. Most of the pins at this connector have ESD protection devices and components.
Page 42
2-20 Theory of Operation: VOCON Board Microcontroller Unit (MCU) The MCU portion of the dual-core processor controls receive/transmit frequencies, power levels, display, and other radio functions, using either direct logic control or serial communications paths to the devices. The microcontrol unit executes a stored program located in the FLASH memory device. Data is transferred to and from memory by the microcontrol unit data bus.
Theory of Operation: VOCON Board 2-21 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) The DSP portion of the dual-core processor performs signaling and voice encoding and decoding, as well as audio filtering and volume control. The DSP performs Private-Line/Digital Private-Line (PL/ DPL) encode and alert-tone generation. The DSP transmits pre-emphasis on analog signals, and applies a low-pass (splatter) filter to all transmitted signals.
Page 44
2-22 Theory of Operation: VOCON Board USB data minus comes from U302 pin 4 and this signal is sent to URXD1 of the dual-core processor. General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) Module The General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) module is shared by the MCU and the DSP. This module consists of four 16-pin bi-directional ports and a 15 pin bi-directional port.
Theory of Operation: VOCON Board 2-23 the Address(23:0) and Data(15:0) busses. The Flash memory contains host firmware, DSP firmware, and codeplug data with the exception of the tuning values that reside on the transceiver board’s serial EEPROM. The Flash memory IC is not field repairable. The RESET_OUT of the dual-core processor is at a GPIO voltage logic level.
2-24 Theory of Operation: VOCON Board The audio and power supply IC (GCAP II IC) has many functions. It supplies most of the voltages used on the VOCON board, while external linear regulators supply 5 Vdc and 1.55 Vdc. It also has microphone audio amplifiers, switching between internal and accessory microphones, multiplexing capability for receive and transmit audio, filtering, voltage regulators, a real-time clock (RTC), and the audio CODEC.
Theory of Operation: VOCON Board 2-25 Audio Circuitry A 13-bit CODEC, internal to the GCAP II IC and programmable by the dual-core processor through the SPI bus, converts microphone audio into a digital bit stream for processing by the DSP. The CODEC also converts receive audio data that was processed by the DSP into an analog audio signal for amplification to a speaker.
The digital-support IC U301 is an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) device designed for the SSE 5000. It is contained in a 64-pin µBGA package with 0.8 mm pitch solder balls. The digital- support IC is supplied with 5 V and the processor’s GPIO voltage. It is supplied with a 16.8 MHz clock from the transceiver board.
Theory of Operation: VOCON Board 2-27 Side Connector Interface, Logic Level Translation, and Boot Data Path Control The digital-support IC facilitates the interface to the radio's side connector. Some of the side connector lines are at 5 V logic levels, so the digital-support IC converts those lines to GPIO voltage logic levels to interface to the dual-core processor.
2-28 Theory of Operation: VOCON Board Watchdog Timer The digital-support IC monitors the position of the radio’s On/Off switch on the BP_SEN_X pin, and that signal is located on Q508 pin 3. If the voltage on pin 3 is ground, then the radio is turned on. If the voltage on pin 3 is 3 volts, then the radio is off.
Theory of Operation: VOCON Board 2-29 2.5.2.3.2 ESD Protection Circuitry NOTE: See Figure 12-13. NCN6186_ VOCON Universal Connector Circuit on page 12-19. Several components on the VOCON board protect the circuitry from ESD. The side connector signal lines have ESD protection components on them since they are exposed. These protection components include: •...

Chapter 8 Troubleshooting The purpose of this chapter is to aid in troubleshooting problems with the SSE 5000 radio. It is intended to be detailed enough to localize the malfunctioning circuit and isolate the defective component. Voltage Measurement and Signal Tracing It is always a good idea to check the battery voltage under load.
Troubleshooting: Power-Up Error Codes Power-Up Error Codes When the radio is turned on (power-up), the radio performs self-tests to determine if its basic electronics and software are in working order. When you turn the radio on normally, the radio performs a limited self-test. This allows the radio to achieve full power within two seconds. To allow the radio to perform a full self-test (which extends the time required to achieve full power), press and hold the top side button while turning the radio on.
Troubleshooting: Operational Error Codes Operational Error Codes During radio operation, the radio performs dynamic tests to determine if the radio is working properly. Problems detected during these tests are presented as error codes on the radio’s display. The presence of an error code should prompt a user that a problem exists and that a service technician should be contacted.
