    THEORY OF OPERATION
    1.0 Introduction
    This Chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the Controlhead circuits. For details of the 
    trouble shooting refer to the related Section of this manual.
    2.0 Controlhead Model for GM140, GM340 and GM640
    The controlhead contains the internal speaker, the on/off/volume knob, the microphone connector, 
    several buttons to operate the radio and several indicator Light Emitting Diodes (LED) to inform the 
    user about the radio status. To control the LED’s and to communicate with the host radio the control-
    head uses the Motorola 68HC11E9 microprocessor.
    2.1 Power Supplies
    The power supply to the controlhead is taken from the host radio’s FLT A+ voltage via connector 
    J0801 pin 3 and the regulated +5V via connector J0801 pin 7. The voltage FLT A+ is at supply 
    voltage level and is used for the LED’s, the back light and to power up the radio via on / off / volume 
    knob. The stabilized +5 volt is used for the microprocessor and the keypad buttons. The voltage USW 
    5V derived from the FLT A+ voltage and stabilized by the series combination of R0822, VR0822 is 
    used to buffer the internal RAM of the microprocessor (U0831). C0822 allows the supply voltage 
    level to be disconnected for a couple of seconds without losing RAM parameters. Dual diode D0822 
    prevents radio circuitry from discharging this capacitor. When the supply voltage is applied to the 
    radio, C0822 is charged via R0822 and D0822. To avoid, that the µP  enters the wrong mode when 
    the radio is switched on while the voltage across C0822 is still too low, the regulated 5V charge 
    C0822 via diode D0822.
    2.2 Power On / Off
    The On/Off/Volume knob when pressed switches the radio’s voltage regulators on by connecting line 
    ON OFF CONTROL to line UNSW 5V via D0821. Additionally, 5 volts at the base of digital transistor 
    Q0822 informs the controlhead’s microprocessor about the pressed knob. The microprocessor 
    asserts pin 62 and line CH REQUEST low to hold line ON OFF CONTROL at 5 volts via Q0823 and 
    D0821. The high line ON OFF CONTROL also informs the host radio, that the controlhead’s 
    microprocessor wants to send data via SBEP bus. When the radio returns a data request message, 
    the microprocessor will inform the radio about the pressed knob. If the radio was switched off, the 
    radio’s µP  will switch it on and vice versa. If the On/Off/Volume knob is pressed while the radio is on, 
    the software detects a low state on line ON OFF SENSE, the radio is alerted via line ON OFF 
    CONTROL and sends a data request message. The controlhead µP  will inform the radio about the 
    pressed knob and the radio’s µP  will switch the radio off.
    2.3 Microprocessor Circuit
    The controlhead uses the Motorola 68HC11E9 microprocessor (µP) (U0831) to control the LED’s 
    and to communicate with the host radio. RAM and ROM are contained within the microprocessor 
    itself.
    The microprocessor generates it’s clock using the oscillator inside the microprocessor along with a 8 
    MHz ceramic resonator (U0833) and R0920. 
    						
    							2-2THEORY OF OPERATION
    The microprocessor’s RAM is always powered to maintain parameters such as the last operating 
    mode. This is achieved by maintaining 5V at µP  pin 25. Under normal conditions, when the radio is 
    off, USW 5V is formed by FLT A+ running to D0822. C0822 allows the battery voltage to be 
    disconnected for a couple of seconds without losing RAM parameters. Diode D0822 prevents radio 
    circuitry from discharging this capacitor.
    There are 8 analogue to digital converter ports (A/D) on the µP . They are labeled within the device 
    block as PE0-PE7. These lines sense the voltage level ranging from 0 to 5V of the input line and 
    convert that level to a number ranging from 0 to 255 which can be read by the software to take 
    appropriate action.
    Pin VRH is the high reference voltage for the A/D ports on the µP . If this voltage is lower than +5V 
    the A/D readings will be incorrect. Likewise pin VRL is the low reference for the A/D ports. This line is 
    normally tied to ground. If this line is not connected to ground, the A/D readings will be incorrect.
    The microprocessor can determine the used keypad type and the controlhead ID by reading the 
    levels at ports PC0 – PC7. Connections JU0852/3/4 are provided by the individual keypads.
    The MODB / MODA input of the µP  must be at a logic „1 for it to start executing correctly. The XIRQ 
    and the IRQ pins should also be at a logic „1.
    Voltage sense device U0832 provides a reset output that goes to 0 volts if the regulated 5 volts goes 
    below 4.5 volts. This is used to reset the controller to prevent improper operation.
    2.4 SBEP Serial Interface
    The host radio (master) communicates to the controlhead µP  (slave) through its SBEP bus. This bus 
    uses only line BUS+ for data transfer. The line is bi-directional meaning that either the radio or the 
    controlhead µP  can drive the line. The microprocessor sends serial data via pin 50 and D0831 and 
    it reads serial data via pin 47. Whenever the microprocessor detects activity on the BUS+ line, it 
    starts communication.
    When the host radio needs to communicate to the controlhead µP , it sends data via line BUS+. Any 
    transition on this line generates an interrupt and the µP  starts communication. The host radio may 
    send data like LED and back light status or it may request the controlhead ID or the keypad ID.
    When the controlhead µP  wants to communicate to the host radio, the µP  brings request line CH 
    REQUEST to a logic „0 via µP  pin 62. This switches on Q0823, which pulls line ON OFF 
    CONTROL high through diode D0821. A low to high transition on this line informs the radio, that the 
    controlhead requires service. The host radio then sends a data request message via BUS+ and the 
    controlhead µP  replies with the data it wanted to send. This data can be information like which key 
    has been pressed or that the volume knob has been rotated.
    The controlhead µP  monitors all messages sent via BUS+, but ignores any data communication 
    between host radio and CPS or Universal Tuner.
    2.5 Keypad Keys
    The controlhead keypad is a 6 - key keypad. All keys are configured as 2 analogue lines read by µP  
    pins 13 and 15 . The voltage on the analogue lines varies between 0 volts and +5 volts depending on 
    which key has been pressed. If no key is pressed, the voltage at both lines will be 5 volts. The key 
    configuration can be thought of as a matrix, where the two lines represent one row and one column. 
    Each line is connected to a resistive divider powered by +5 volts. If a button is pressed, it will connect 
    one specific resistor of each divider line to ground level and thereby reduce the voltages on the 
    analogue lines The voltages of the lines are A/D converted inside the µP  (ports PE 0 - 1) and specify 
    the pressed button. To determine which key is pressed, the voltage of both lines must be considered. 
    						
    							Controlhead Model for GM140, GM340 and GM640 2-3
    An additional pair of analogue lines and A/D µP  ports (PE 3 – 2) is available to support a keypad 
    microphone, connected to the microphone connector J0811. Any microphone key press is processed 
    the same way as a key press on the controlhead.
    2.6 Status LED and Back Light Circuit
    All indicator LED’s (red, yellow, green) are driven by current sources. To change the LED status the 
    host radio sends a data message via SBEP bus to the controlhead µP . The controlhead µP  
    determines the LED status from the received message and switches the LED’s on or off via port PB 
    7 – 0 and port PA4. The LED status is stored in the µP ’s memory. The LED current is determined by 
    the resistor at the emitter of the respective current source transistor.
    The back light for the keypad is controlled by the host radio the same way as the indicator LED’s 
    using µP  port PA 5. The µP  can switch the back light on and off under software control. The keypad 
    back light current is drawn from the FLT A+ source and controlled by 2 current sources. The LED 
    current is determined by the resistor at the emitter of the respective current source transistor.
    2.7 Microphone Connector Signals
    Signals BUS+, PTT IRDEC, HOOK, MIC, HANDSET AUDIO, FLT A+, +5V and 2 A/D converter 
    inputs are available at the microphone connector J0811. Signal BUS+ (J0811-7) connects to the 
    SBEP bus for communication with the CPS or the Universal Tuner. Line MIC (J0811-5) feeds the 
    audio from the microphone to the radio’s controller via connector J0801-4. Line HANDSET AUDIO 
    (J0811-8) feeds the receiver audio from the controller (J0801-6) to a connected handset. FLT A+, 
    which is at supply voltage level, and +5V are used to supply any connected accessory like a 
    microphone or a handset.
    The 2 A/D converter inputs (J0811-9/10) are used for a microphone with keypad. A pressed key will 
    change the dc voltage on both lines. The voltages depend on which key is pressed. The µP  
    determines from the voltage on these lines which key is pressed and sends the information to the 
    host radio.
    Line PTT IRDEC (J0811-6) is used to key up the radio’s transmitter. While the PTT button on a 
    connected microphone is released, line PTT IRDEC is pulled to +5 volts level by R0843. Transistor 
    Q0843 is switched on and causes a low at µP  port PA2. When the PTT button is pressed, signal PTT 
    IRDEC is pulled to ground level. This switches off Q0843 and the resulting high level at µP  port PA2 
    informs the µP  about the pressed PTT button. The µP  will inform the host radio about any status 
    change on the PTT IRDEC line via SBEP bus.
    When line PTT IRDEC is connected to FLT A+ level, transistor Q0821 is switched on through diode 
    VR0821 and thereby pulls the level on line ON OFF CONTROL to FLT A+ level. This switches on the 
    radio and puts the radio’s µP  in bootstrap mode. Bootstrap mode is used to load the firmware into 
    the radio’s flash memory (See controller subsection for more details).
    The HOOK input (J0811-3) is used to inform the µP  when the microphone´s hang-up switch is 
    engaged. Dependent on the CPS programming the µP  may take actions like turning the audio PA on 
    or off. While the hang up switch is open, line HOOK is pulled to +5 volts level by R0841. Transistor 
    Q0841 is switched on and causes a low at µP  port PA1. When the HOOK switch is closed, signal 
    HOOK is pulled to ground level. This switches off R0841and the resulting high level at µP  port PA1 
    informs the µP  about the closed hang up switch. The µP  will inform the host radio about any status 
    change on the HOOK line via SBEP bus. 
    						
    							2-4THEORY OF OPERATION
    2.8 Speaker
    The controlhead contains a speaker for the receiver audio. The receiver audio signal from the 
    differential audio output of the audio amplifier located on the radio’s controller is fed via connector 
    J0801-10, 11 to the speaker connector P0801 pin 1 and pin 2. The speaker is connected to the 
    speaker connector P0801. The controlhead speaker can be disconnected if an external speaker, 
    connected on the accessory connector, is used.
    2.9 Electrostatic Transient  Protection
    Electrostatic transient protection is provided for the sensitive components in the controlhead by 
    diodes VR0811 VR00812 VR0816 - VR0817. The diodes limit any transient voltages to tolerable 
    levels. The associated capacitors provide Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) protection.
    3.0 Controlhead Model for GM160, GM360 and GM660
    The controlhead contains the internal speaker, the on/off/volume knob, the microphone connector, 
    several buttons to operate the radio, several indicator Light Emitting Diodes (LED) to inform the user 
    about the radio status, and a 14 character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for alpha - numerical 
    information e.g. channel number or call address name. To control the LED’s and the LCD, and to 
    communicate with the host radio the controlhead uses the Motorola 68HC11E9 microprocessor. 
    3.1 Power Supplies
    The power supply to the controlhead is taken from the host radio’s FLT A+ voltage via connector 
    J0801 pin 3 and the regulated +5V via connector J0801 pin 7. The voltage FLT A+ is at battery level 
    and is used for the LED’s, the back light and to power up the radio via on / off / volume knob. The 
    stabilized +5 volt is used for the microprocessor, the display, the display driver and the keypad 
    buttons. The voltage USW 5V derived from the FLT A+ voltage and stabilized by the series 
    combination of R0822, VR0822 is used to buffer the internal RAM of the microprocessor (U0831). 
    C0822 allows the battery voltage to be disconnected for a couple of seconds without losing RAM 
    parameters. Dual diode D0822 prevents radio circuitry from discharging this capacitor. When the 
    supply voltage is applied to the radio, C0822 is charged via R0822 and D0822. To avoid that the µP  
    enters the wrong mode when the radio is switched on while the voltage across C0822 is still too low, 
    the regulated 5V charge C0822 via diode D0822.
    3.2Power On / Off
    The On/Off/Volume knob when pressed switches the radio’s voltage regulators on by connecting line 
    ON OFF CONTROL to line UNSW 5V via D0821. Additionally, 5 volts at the base of digital transistor 
    Q0822 informs the controlhead’s microprocessor about the pressed knob. The microprocessor 
    asserts pin 62 and line CH REQUEST low to hold line ON OFF CONTROL at 5 volts via Q0823 and 
    D0821. The high line ON OFF CONTROL also informs the host radio, that the controlhead’s 
    microprocessor wants to send data via SBEP bus. When the radio returns a data request message, 
    the microprocessor will inform the radio about the pressed knob. If the radio was switched off, the 
    radio’s µP  will switch it on and vice versa. If the On/Off/Volume knob is pressed while the radio is on, 
    the software detects a low state on line ON OFF SENSE, the radio is alerted via line ON OFF 
    CONTROL and sends a data request message. The controlhead µP  will inform the radio about the 
    pressed knob and the radio’s µP  will switch the radio off.
