Theory of Operation 3-3
3.4 Controller
The controller is the central interface between the various radio functions. It is separated into MCU
digital and audio/signalling functions as shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3. Controller Block Diagram
3.4.1 MCU Digital
The digital portion of the controller consists of a microcontroller (U409) and associated EEPROM, S-
RAM, and Flash ROM memories. The following memory IC's are used in all 200 MHz and 700 MHz
models unless indicated otherwise in the parts lists:
