1.0 Overview
This section provides a detailed theory of operation for the radio and its components.
2.0 Radio Power Distribution
Figure 4-1 illustrates the DC distribution throughout the radio board. A 7.5V battery (BATT 7.5V)
supplies power directly to the electronic ON/OFFcontrol as UNSWB+. When the radio is turned on,
MECH_SWB+ (ON/OFF volume control) will trigger the electronic ON/OFFcontrol(momentary-on
path), then SWB+ is distributed as shown in Figure
4-1. Vdda from 3.3V Vdda regulator will then
supply the microprocessor. Data is then sent to ASFIC_CMP to turn on GCB4(DAC). GCB4 will take
over the momentary-on path within 12ms. SWB+ will continue to support the whole board until the
radio is turned off.
Radio will be turned-off on two conditions;
1. MECH_SWB+ turned off
2. Low battery
