VHF Transmitter Power Amplifier (136-162 MHz) 2-3 Op-amp U103-3 monitors the drain current of U101 via resistor R122 and adjusts the bias voltage of U101. In receive mode, the DC voltage from RX_EN line turns on Q101, which in turn switches off the biasing voltage to U101. 3.2 Power Controlled Driver Stage The next stage is an LDMOS device (Q105) which provides a gain of 12dB. This device requires a positive gate bias and a quiescent current flow for proper operation. The bias is set during transmit mode by the drain current control op-amp U102-1, and fed to the gate of Q105 via the resistive network. Op-amp U102-1 monitors the drain current of Q105 via resistors R126-7 and adjusts the bias voltage of Q105 so that the current remains constant. In receive mode the DC voltage from RX_EN line turns on Q102, which in turn switches off the biasing voltage to Q105. 3.3 Final Stage The final stage is an LDMOS device (Q100) providing a gain of 12dB. This device also requires a positive gate bias and a quiescent current flow for proper operation. The voltage of the line PA_BIAS is set in transmit mode by the ASFIC and fed to the gate of Q100 via the resistive network R134, R131. This bias voltage is tuned in the factory. If the transistor is replaced, the bias voltage must be tuned using the Tuner. Care must be taken not to damage the device by exceeding the maximum allowed bias voltage. The device’s drain current is drawn directly from the radio’s DC supply voltage input, B+, via L117 and L115. A matching network consisting of C1004-5, C1008-9, C1021, C1013, C1019, L116: and two striplines, transforms the impedance to 50 ohms and feeds the directional coupler. 3.4 Bi-Directional Coupler The bi-directional Coupler is a microstrip printed circuit, which couples a small amount of the forward and reverse power of the RF power from Q100.The coupled signal is rectified to an output power which is proportional to the DC voltage rectified by diode D105; and the resulting DC voltage is routed to the power control section to ensure that the forward power out of the radio is held to a constant value. 3.5 Antenna Switch The antenna switch utilizes the existing dc feed (B+) to the last stage device (Q100). The basic operation is to have both PIN diodes (D103, D104) turned on during key-up by forward biasing them. This is achieved by pulling down the voltage at the cathode end of D104 to around 12.4V (0.7V drop across each diode). The current through the diodes needs to be set around 100 mA to fully open the transmit path through resistor R108. Q106 is a current source controlled by Q103 which is turned on in Tx mode by TX_EN. VR102 ensures that the voltage at resistor R107 never exceeds 5.6V.
2-4THEORY OF OPERATION 3.6 Harmonic Filter Inductors L111, L112 and L113 along with capacitors C1011, C1024, C1025, C1022, C1020, C1016 and C1017 form a low-pass filter to attenuate harmonic energy coming from the transmitter. Resistor R150 along with L126 drains any electrostatic charges that might otherwise build up on the antenna. The harmonic filter also prevents high level RF signals above the receiver passband from reaching the receiver circuits to improve spurious response rejection. 3.7 Power Control The output power is regulated by using a forward power detection control loop. A directional coupler samples a portion of the forward and reflected RF power. The forward sampled RF is rectified by diode D105, and the resulting DC voltage is routed to the operational amplifier U100. The error output current is then routed to an integrator, and converted into the control voltage. This voltage controls the bias of the pre-driver (U101) and driver (Q105) stages. The output power level is set by way of a DAC, PWR_SET, in the audio processing IC (U504), which acts at the forward power control loop reference. The sampled reflected power is rectified by diode D107,The resulting DC voltage is amplified by an operational amplifier U100 and routed to the summing junction. This detector protects the final stage Q100 from reflected power by increasing the error current. The temperature sensor protects the final stage Q100 from overheating by increasing the error current. A thermistor RT100 measures the final stage Q100 temperature. The voltage divider output is routed to an operational amplifier U103 and then goes to the summing junction. The Zener Diode VR101 keeps the loop control voltage below 5.6V and eliminates the DC current from the 9.3 regulator U501. Two local loops for the Pre Driver (U101) and for the Driver (Q105) are used in order to stabilize the current for each stage. In Rx mode, the two transistors Q101 and Q102 go to saturation and shut down the transmitter by applying ground to the Pre Driver U101 and for the Driver Q105 control. 4.0 VHF (136-162MHz) Frequency Synthesis The synthesizer consists of a reference oscillator (Y201), low voltage Fractional-N (LVFRAC-N) synthesizer (U200), and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) (U201). 4.1 Reference Oscillator The reference oscillator is a crystal (Y201) controlled Colpitts oscillator and has a frequency of 16.8MHz. The oscillator transistor and start-up circuit are located in the LVFRAC-N (U200) while the oscillator feedback capacitors, crystal, and tuning varactors are external. An analog-to-digital (A/D) converter internal to the LVFRAC-N (U200) and controlled by the microprocessor via SPI sets the voltage at the warp output of U200 pin 25. This sets the frequency of the oscillator. Consequently, the output of the crystal Y201 is applied to U200 pin 23. The method of temperature compensation is to apply an inverse Bechmann voltage curve, which matches the crystal’s Bechmann curve to a varactor that constantly shifts the oscillator back on frequency. The crystal vendor characterizes the crystal over a specified temperature range and codes this information into a bar code that is printed on the crystal package. In production, this crystal code is read via a 2-dimensional bar code reader and the parameters are saved.
VHF (136-162MHz) Frequency Synthesis2-5 This oscillator is temperature compensated to an accuracy of +/-2.5 PPM from -30 to 60 degrees C. The temperature compensation scheme is implemented by an algorithm that uses five crystal parameters (four characterize the inverse Bechmann voltage curve and one for frequency accuracy of the reference oscillator at 25 degrees C). This algorithm is implemented by the LVFRAC-N (U200) at the power up of the radio. 4.2 Fractional-N Synthesizer The LVFRAC-N U200 consists of a pre-scaler, programmable loop divider, control divider logic, phase detector, charge pump, A/D converter for low frequency digital modulation, balanced attenuator used to balance the high and low frequency analog modulation, 13V positive voltage multiplier, serial interface for control, and a super filter for the regulated 5 volts. Figure 2-3 VHF Synthesizer Block Diagram A voltage of 5V applied to the super filter input (U200, pin 30) supplies an output voltage of 4.5Vdc (VSF) at U200, pin 28. This supplies 4.5 V to the VCO Buffer IC U201. To generate a high voltage to supply the phase detector (charge pump) output stage at pin VCP (U200, pin 47) while using a low voltage 3.3Vdc supply, a 13V positive voltage multiplier is used (D200, D201, and capacitors C2024, 2025, 2026, 2055, 2027, 2001). Output lock (U200, pin 4) provides information about the lock status of the synthesizer loop. A high level at this output indicates a stable loop. A 16.8 MHz reference frequency is provided at U200, pin 19.

2-6THEORY OF OPERATION 4.3 Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) The Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) consists of the VCO/Buffer IC (VCOBIC, U201), the TX and RX tank circuits, the external RX amplifier, and the modulation circuitry. Figure 2-4 VHF VCO Block Diagram The VCOBIC together with the LVFRAC-N (U200) generate the required frequencies in both transmit and receive modes. The TRB line (U201, pin 19) determines which VCO and buffer is enabled (high being TX output at pin 10, low being RX output at pin 8). A sample of the signal from the enabled output is routed from U201, pin 12 (PRESC_OUT), via a low pass filter to U200, pin 32 (PREIN). A steering line voltage between 3.0V and 10.0V at varactor D204 tunes the TX VCO through the frequency range of 146-174MHz, and at D203 tunes the RX VCO through the frequency range of 190-219MHz. The external RX amplifier is used to increase the output from U201, pin 8 from 3-4 dBm to the required 15dBm for proper mixer operation. In TX mode, the modulation signal from the LVFRAC-N (U200, pin 41) is applied to the VCO by way of the modulation circuit D205, R212, R211, C2073.

VHF (136-162MHz) Frequency Synthesis2-7 4.4 Synthesizer Operation The synthesizer consists of a low voltage FRAC-N IC (LVFRAC-N), reference oscillator, charge pump circuits, loop filter circuit, and DC supply. The output signal (PRESC_OUT) of the VCOBIC (U201, pin 12) is fed to the PREIN, pin 32 of U200 via a low pass filter which attenuates harmonics and provides a correct input level to the LVFRAC-N in order to close the synthesizer loop. The pre-scaler in the synthesizer (U200) is a dual modulus pre-scaler with selectable divider ratios. The divider ratio of the pre-scaler is controlled by the loop divider, which in turn receives its inputs via the SPI. The output of the pre-scaler is applied to the loop divider. The output of the loop divider is connected to the phase detector, which compares the loop divider’s output signal with the reference signal. The reference signal is generated by dividing down the signal of the reference oscillator (Y201). The output signal of the phase detector is a pulsed dc signal that is routed to the charge pump. The charge pump outputs a current from U200, pin 43 (IOUT). The loop filter (consisting of R224, R217, R234, C2074, C2075, C2077, C2078, C2079, C2080, C2028, and L205) transforms this current into a voltage that is applied the varactor diodes D203 and D204 for RX and TX respectively. The output frequency is determined by this control voltage. The current can be set to a value fixed in the LVFRAC-N or to a value determined by the currents flowing into BIAS 1 (U200, pin 40) or BIAS 2 (U200, pin 39). The currents are set by the value of R200 or R206 respectively. The selection of the three different bias sources is done by software programming. To modulate the synthesizer loop, a two-spot modulation method is utilized via the MODIN (U200, pin 10) input of the LVFRAC-N. The audio signal is applied to both the A/D converter (low frequency path) and the balance attenuator (high frequency path). The A/D converter converts the low frequency analog modulating signal into a digital code which is applied to the loop divider, thereby causing the carrier to deviate. The balance attenuator is used to adjust the VCO’s deviation sensitivity to high frequency modulating signals. The output of the balance attenuator is presented at the MODOUT port of the LVFRAC-N (U200,pin 41) and connected to the VCO modulation varactor D205.
2-8THEORY OF OPERATION 5.0 Controller Theory of Operation This section provides a detailed theory of operation for the radio and its components. The main radio is a single-board design, consisting of the transmitter, receiver, and controller circuits. A control head is connected by an extension cable. The control head contains LED indicators, a microphone connector, buttons, and speaker. In addition to the power cable and antenna cable, an accessory cable can be attached to a connector on the rear of the radio. The accessory cable enables you to connect accessories to the radio, such as an external speaker, emergency switch, foot-operated PTT, and ignition sensing, etc. Figure 2-5 Controller Block Diagram 5.1 Radio Power Distribution Voltage distribution is provided by five separate devices: • U514 P-cH FET - Batt + (Ext_SWB+) • U501 LM2941T - 9.3V • U503 LP2951CM - 5V • U508 MC 33269DTRK - 3.3V • U510 LP2986ILDX - 3.3V Digital External Microphone Internal Microphone External Speaker Internal Sp ea ke r SCI to Control Head Audio PA Audio/Signaling Architecture To Synthesizer Mod Out 16.8 MHz Reference Clock from Synthesizer Disc Audio To R F S e c t i o nSPI Digital ArchitectureµP Clock 3.3V RegulatorRAM EEPROM FLASHHC11FL0 ASFIC_CMP Accessory & Connector Handset .
Controller Theory of Operation2-9 The DC voltage applied to connector P2 supplies power directly to the following circuitry: • Electronic on/off control • RF power amplifier • 12 volts P-cH FET -U514 • 9.3 volt regulator • Audio PA Figure 2-6 DC Power Distribution Block Diagram Regulator U501 is used to generate the 9.3 volts required by some audio circuits, the RF circuitry and power control circuitry. Input and output capacitors are used to reduce high frequency noise. Resistors R5001 / R5081 set the output voltage of the regulator. This regulator output is electronically enabled by a 0 volt signal on pin 2. Q502, Q505 and R5038 are used to disable the regulator when the radio is turned off. Voltage regulator U510 provides 3.3 volts for the digital circuitry. Operating voltage is from the regulated 9.3V supply. Input and output capacitors are used to reduce high frequency noise and provide proper operation during battery transients. U510 provides a reset output that goes to 0 volts if the regulator output goes below 3.1 volts. This is used to reset the controller to prevent improper operation. Voltage regulator U508 provides 3.3V for the RF circuits and ASFIC_CMP. Input and output capacitors are used to reduce the high frequency noise and provide proper operation during battery transients.

2-10THEORY OF OPERATION Voltage regulator U503 provides 5V for the RF circuits. Input and output capacitors are used to reduce the high frequency noise and provide proper operation during battery transients. VSTBY is used only for CM360 5-tone radios. The voltage VSTBY, which is derived directly from the supply voltage by components R5103 and VR502, is used to buffer the internal RAM. Capacitor C5120 allows the battery voltage to be disconnected for a couple of seconds without losing RAM parameters. Dual diode D501 prevents radio circuitry from discharging this capacitor. When the supply voltage is applied to the radio, C5120 is charged via R5103 and D501. 5.2 Protection Devices Diode VR500 acts as protection against ESD, wrong polarity of the supply voltage, and load dump. VR692 - VR699 are for ESD protection. 5.3 Automatic On/Off The radio can be switched ON in any one of the following three ways: • On/Off switch. (No Ignition Mode) • Ignition and On/Off switch (Ignition Mode) •Emergency 5.3.1 No Ignition Mode When the radio is connected to the car battery for the first time, Q500 will be in saturation, Q503 will cut-off, Filt_B+ will pass through R5073, D500, and S5010-pin 6 (On/Off switch). When S5010 is ON, Filt_B+ will pass through S5010-pin5, D511, R5069, R5037 and base of Q505 and move Q505 into saturation. This pulls U501-pin2 through R5038, D502 to 0.2V and turns On U514 and U501 9.3V regulator which supplies voltage to all other regulators and consequently turns the radio on, When U504 (ASFIC_CMP) gets 3.3V, GCB2 goes to 3.3V and holds Q505 in saturation, for soft turn off. 5.3.2 Ignition Mode When ignition is connected for the first time, it will force high current through Q500 collector, This will move Q500 out of saturation and consequently Q503 will cut-off. S5010 pin 6 will get ignition voltage through R601 (for load dump), R610, (R610 & C678 are for ESD protection), VR501, R5074, and D500. When S5010 is ON, Filt_B+ passes through S5010-pin 5, D511, R5069, R5037 and base of Q505 and inserts Q505 into saturation. This pulls U501-pin 2 through R5038, D502 to 0.2V and turns on U514 and U501 9.3V regulator which supply voltage to all other regulators and turns the radio on, When U504 (ASFIC_CMP) get 3.3V supply, GCB2 goes to 3.3V and holds Q505 in saturation state to allow soft turn off, When ignition is off Q500, Q503 will stay at the same state so S5010 pin 6 will get 0V from Ignition, Q504 goes from Sat to Cut, ONOFF_SENSE goes to 3.3V and it indicates to the radio to soft turn itself by changing GCB2 to ‘0’ after de registration if necessary.
Controller Theory of Operation2-11 5.3.3 Emergency Mode The emergency switch (P1 pin 9), when engaged, grounds the base of Q506 via EMERGENCY _ACCES_CONN. This switches Q506 to off and consequently resistor R5020 pulls the collector of Q506 and the base of Q506 to levels above 2 volts. Transistor Q502 switches on and pulls U501 pin2 to ground level, thus turning ON the radio. When the emergency switch is released R5030 pulls the base of Q506 up to 0.6 volts. This causes the collector of transistor Q506 to go low (0.2V), thereby switching Q502 to off. While the radio is switched on, the µP monitors the voltage at the emergency input on the accessory connector via U403-pin 62. Three different conditions are distinguished: no emergency kit is connected, emergency kit connected (unpressed), and emergency press. If no emergency switch is connected or the connection to the emergency switch is broken, the resistive divider R5030 / R5049 will set the voltage to about 3.14 volts (indicates no emergency kit found via EMERGENCY_SENSE line). If an emergency switch is connected, a resistor to ground within the emergency switch will reduce the voltage on EMERGENCY _SENSE line, and indicate to the µP that the emergency switch is operational. An engaged emergency switch pulls line EMERGENCY _SENSE line to ground level. Diode VR503 limits the voltage to protect the µP input. While EMERGENCY _ACCES_CONN is low, the µP starts execution, reads that the emergency input is active through the voltage level of µP pin 64, and sets the DC POWER ON output of the ASFIC CMP pin 13 to a logic high. This high will keep Q505 in saturation for soft turn off. 5.4 Microprocessor Clock Synthesiser The clock source for the µP system is generated by the ASFIC CMP (U504). Upon power-up the synthesizer IC (FRAC-N) generates a 16.8 MHz waveform that is routed from the RF section to the ASFIC CMP pin 34. For the main board controller the ASFIC CMP uses 16.8 MHz as a reference input clock signal for its internal synthesizer. The ASFIC CMP, in addition to audio circuitry, has a programmable synthesizer which can generate a synthesized signal ranging from 1200Hz to 32.769MHz in 1200Hz steps. When power is first applied, the ASFIC CMP will generate its default 3.6864MHz CMOS square wave UP CLK (on U504 pin 28) and this is routed to the µP (U403 pin 90). After the µP starts operation, it reprograms the ASFIC CMP clock synthesizer to a higher UP CLK frequency (usually 7.3728 or 14.7456 MHz) and continues operation. The ASFIC CMP may be reprogrammed to change the clock synthesizer frequencies at various times depending on the software features that are executing. In addition, the clock frequency of the synthesizer is changed in small amounts if there is a possibility of harmonics of the clock source interfering with the desired radio receive frequency. The ASFIC CMP synthesizer loop uses C5025, C5024 and R5033 to set the switching time and jitter of the clock output. If the synthesizer cannot generate the required clock frequency it will switch back to its default 3.6864MHz output. Because the ASFIC CMP synthesizer and the µP system will not operate without the 16.8 MHz reference clock it (and the voltage regulators) should be checked first when debugging the system.
2-12THEORY OF OPERATION 5.5 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) The µP communicates to many of the IC’s through its SPI port. This port consists of SPI TRANSMIT DATA (MOSI) (U403-pin100), SPI RECEIVE DATA (MISO) (U403-pin 99), SPI CLK (U0403-pin1) and chip select lines going to the various IC’s, connected on the SPI PORT (BUS). This BUS is a synchronous bus, in that the timing clock signal CLK is sent while SPI data (SPI TRANSMIT DATA or SPI RECEIVE DATA) is sent. Therefore, whenever there is activity on either SPI TRANSMIT DATA or SPI RECEIVE DATA there should be a uniform signal on CLK. The SPI TRANSMIT DATA is used to send serial from a µP to a device, and SPI RECEIVE DATA is used to send data from a device to a µP. There are two IC’s on the SPI BUS, ASFIC CMP (U504 pin 22)), and EEPROM (U400). In the RF sections there is one IC on the SPI BUS, the FRAC-N Synthesizer. The chip select line CSX from U403 pin 2 is shared by the ASFIC CMP and FRAC-N Synthesizer. Each of these IC’s check the SPI data and when the sent address information matches the IC’s address, the following data is processed. When the µP needs to program any of these Is it brings the chip select line CSX to a logic “0” and then sends the proper data and clock signals. The amount of data sent to the various IC’s are different; e.g., the ASFIC CMP can receive up to 19 bytes (152 bits). After the data has been sent the chip select line is returned to logic “1”. 5.6 SBEP Serial Interface The SBEP serial interface allows the radio to communicate with the Customer Programming Software (CPS), or the Universal Tuner via the Radio Interface Box (RIB) or the cable with internal RIB. This interface connects to the SCI pin via control head connector (J2-pin 17) and to the accessory connector P1-6 and comprises BUS+. The line is bi-directional, meaning that either the radio or the RIB can drive the line. The µP sends serial data and it reads serial data via pin 97. Whenever the µP detects activity on the BUS+ line, it starts communication. 5.7 General Purpose Input/Output The controller provides six general purpose lines (PROG I/O) available on the accessory connector P1 to interface to external options. Lines PROG IN 3 and 6 are inputs, PROG OUT 4 is an output and PROG IN OUT 8, 12 and 14 are bi-directional. The software and the hardware configuration of the radio model define the function of each port. • PROG IN 3 can be used as external PTT input, or others, set by the CPS. The µP reads this port via pin 72 and Q412. • PROG OUT 4 can be used as external alarm output, set by the CPS. Transistor Q401 is controlled by the µP (U403 pin 55) • PROG IN 6 can be used as normal input, set by the CPS. The µP reads this port via pin 73 and Q411. This pin is also used to communicate with the RIB if resistor R421 is placed. • DIG IN OUT 8,12,14 are bi-directional and use the same circuit configuration. Each port uses an output Q416, Q404, Q405 controlled by µP pins 52, 53, 54. The input ports are read through µP pins 74, 76, 77; using Q409, Q410, Q411
