2-2  Theory of Operation 
2.2.1 
Radio Power Distribution 
The 
de 
power distribution throughout the radio board is shown in Figure 2-2. Voltage regulation for 
the controller is  provided by four separate devices: 
U0651  (MC78M05) +5 volts 
U0641 
(LM2941) +9.3 volts 
U0611  (LM2941) +12 volts 
VSTBY 
5V (a combination 
of 
R0621  and VR0621) 
U3211 
Additional 5 volt regulator located in the 
RF 
section. 
The 
de 
voltage applied to connector J0601  supplies power directly to the following: 
Electronic 
on/off control 
RF  power amplifier 
12 volt regulator 
9.3 volt regulator 
Audio 
PA 
5.6 volt stabilization circuit 
9.3 
volt regulator (U0641) supplies power 
to 
the 5 volt regulator (U0651) and 6 volt voltage 
divider Q0681 
Regulator U0641 
generates the 9.3 volts required by some audio circuits, the RF and power control 
circuits. Input and output capacitors C0641  and C0644 I C0645 are used to reduce high frequency 
noise. Resistors R0642 I R0643 set the output voltage 
of 
the regulator. If the voltage at pin  1 
is 
greater than 1.3 volts the regulator output decreases and 
if 
the voltage 
is 
less than 1.3 volts the 
regulator output increases. This regulator output is enabled by a 0 volt signal on pin 
2. 
Transistors 
00661, 
Q0641, and R0641  are used to disable the regulator when the radio 
is 
turned off. 
Voltage regulator U0651  provides 5 volts operating voltage for the digital circuits. Operating voltage 
is 
from the regulated 9.3volts supply.  Input and output capacitors (C0651  I C0652 and C0654 I 
C0655) reduce high frequency noise and provide proper operation during battery transients. Voltage 
sense device U0652 or alternatively U0653 provides a reset output that goes to 0 volts if the 
regulator output goes below 4.5 volts. This resets the controller to prevent improper operation. 
Diode D0651  prevents discharge 
of 
C0652 by negative spikes on the 9.3 volt supply. 
Transistor Q0681  and resistors R0681  I R0682 divide the regulated 9.3 volts down to about 6 volts. 
This voltage supplies the 5 volt regulator, located on the 
RF 
section. By reducing the supply voltage 
of the regulator, the power dissipation 
is 
divided between the RF section and the controller section. 
The VSTBY signal, derived directly from the supply voltage by components R0621  and VR0621, 
buffers the internal RAM. Capacitor C0622 allows the battery voltage to be disconnected for several 
seconds without losing RAM information. Dual diode D0621  prevents radio circuits from discharging 
this capacitor. When the supply voltage 
is 
applied to the radio, C0622 
is 
charged via R0621  and 
D0621. When the radio is switched on, the 
IJP 
enters the wrong mode if the voltage across C0622 
is 
still too 
low. 
The regulated 5 volts charges C0622 via diode D0621.
