Embedded Multi
Media Card
Type of memory used.
eMMC See Embedded Multi Media Card.
FCC Federal Communications Commission.
firmware Code executed by an embedded processor such as the Host or DSP in
a subscriber radio. This type of code is typically resident in non-volatile
memory and as such is more difficult to change than code executed
from RAM.
FGU See frequency generation unit.
flash A non-volatile memory device similar to an EEPROM. Flash memory
can be erased and reprogrammed in blocks instead of one byte at a
time.
FLASHcode A 13-digit code which uniquely identifies the System Software Package
and Software Revenue Options that are enabled in a particular
subscriber radio. FLASHcodes are only applicable for radios which are
upgradeable through the FLASHport process.
FLASHport A Motorola term that describes the ability of a radio to change memory.
Every FLASHport radio contains a FLASHport EEPROM memory chip
that can be software written and rewritten to, again and again.
FMR See Florida Manual Revision.
Florida Manual
Revision
A document that provides interim updates to a publication until the
entire publication can be updated and reissued.
FracN A Motorola-proprietary, CMOS fractional-N frequency synthesizer with
built-in, dual-port modulation.
frequency Number of times a complete electromagnetic-wave cycle occurs in a
fixed unit of time (usually one second).
frequency
generation unit
This unit generates ultra-stable, low-phase noise master clock and other
derived synchronization clocks that are distributed throughout the
communication network.
GCAI Global Connector Accessory Interface.
General-Purpose
Input/Output
Pins whose function is programmable.
Global Control
Audio and Power IC
A mixed-signal (analog and digital) integrated circuit that provides
control, audio, and voltage regulation functionality for the VOCON
board.
GPIO See General-Purpose Input/Output.
