TC-700 Service Manual Circuit Description 1. Power Supply Power supply of the radio is derived from the battery, which supplies battery B+ after passing through fuse 3A and then feeds through power switch. The power supplies voltage for three AVRs. IC504 supplies 5V (M5V) voltage for the control circuit.
Page 13
TC-700 Service Manual 1) PLL Circuit Step frequency of PLL can be 2.5 KHz, 5.0 KHz or 6.25 KHz. A 16.8MHz reference oscillator signal is divided at IC301 by a counter to generate a 2.5 KHz, 5.0 KHz or 6.25 KHz reference frequency. Output signal from VCO is buffer amplified by Q301 and divided at IC301 by a frequency divider.
Page 14
TC-700 Service Manual 3) IF Amplifier The first IF signal is amplified by Q206 before passing through crystal filter and by Q204 after crystal filter and then enters IF processing chip IC204. The signal from IC204 is mixed with the second oscillator signal again in IC204 to create a 450 KHz second IF signal.
Page 15
TC-700 Service Manual 3) Antenna Switch and LPF Output signal from RF amplifier passes through a low-pass filter network and a transmit/receive switch circuit comprised of D102,D103 and D104 before it reaches the antenna terminal. D103 and D104 is turned on (conductive) in transmit mode and off (isolated) in receive mode.
Page 16
TC-700 Service Manual 3) MSK Transmit: MSK signal produced by base band processing IC enters VCO together with AF signal for modulation. Receive: MSK input of demodulating IC is sent to AK2346 for demodulation after being amplified. The demodulated signal is then sent to MCU for decoding.
