Controller Theory of Operation 2-9
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.
