1.1 Purpose
This manual provides the information necessary to repair, calibration, description and download the features of
this model.
1.2 Regulatory Information
A. Security
Toll fraud, the unauthorized use of telecommunications system by an unauthorized part (for example, persons
other than your company’s employees, agents, subcontractors, or person working on your company’s behalf)
can result in substantial additional charges for your telecommunications services. System users are responsible
for the security of own system. There are may be risks of toll fraud associated with your telecommunications
system. System users are responsible for programming and configuring the equipment to prevent unauthorized
use. The manufacturer does not warrant that this product is immune from the above case but will prevent
unauthorized use of common-carrier telecommunication service of facilities accessed through or connected to
it. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any charges that result from such unauthorized use.
B.Incidence of Harm
If a telephone company determines that the equipment provided to customer is faulty and possibly causing
harm or interruption in service to the telephone network, it should disconnect telephone service until repair can
be done. A telephone company may temporarily disconnect service as long as repair is not done.
C.Changes in Service
A local telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities or procedure. If these changes
could reasonably be expected to affect the use of the this phone or compatibility with the network, the
telephone company is required to give advanced written notice to the user, allowing the user to take
appropriate steps to maintain telephone service.
D. Maintenance Limitations
Maintenance limitations on this model must be performed only by the manufacturer or its authorized agent.
The user may not make any changes and/or repairs expect as specifically noted in this manual. Therefore, note
that unauthorized alternations or repair may affect the regulatory status of the system and may void any
remaining warranty.

E.Notice of Radiated Emissions
This model complies with rules regarding radiation and radio frequency emission as defined by local
regulatory agencies. In accordance with these agencies, you may be required to provide information such as
the following to the end user.
F. Pictures
The pictures in this manual are for illustrative purposes only; your actual hardware may look slightly different.
G. Interference and Attenuation
Phone may interfere with sensitive laboratory equipment, medical equipment, etc.Interference from
unsuppressed engines or electric motors may cause problems.
H.Electrostatic Sensitive Devices
ATTENTION
Boards, which contain Electrostatic Sensitive Device (ESD), are indicated
bythe sign. Following information is ESD handling:
rService personnel should ground themselves by using a wrist strap when exchange system
boards.
rWhen repairs are made to a system board, they should spread the floor with anti-static mat
which is also grounded.
rUse a suitable, grounded soldering iron.
rKeep sensitive parts in these protective packages until these are used.
rWhen returning system boards or parts like EEPROM to the factory, use the protective
package as described.

3.2 Power Management
A mobile platform requires power supplies for dierent functions. These power supplies are generated in the integrated
power management Unit (PMU). The PMU is designed to deliver the power for a typical standard phone.

* DC/DC Step Down Converter with LDO Mode for 1.2V (VCORE)
The DC/DC converter generates a 1.2 V supply rail. This voltage rail is used to supply main parts of the system. Among
buck converters, VCORE also provide LDO mode for lower cost requirement.

3.TECHNICAL BRIEF
Linear voltage Regulators (low drop out) LDOs
The LDOs are used to generate the supply for the different supply domains not directly supplied out of the
DC/DC converter.
RF LDO (VRF)
The RF LDO is a linear regulator that could source 200mA (max) with 2.8V output voltage. It
supplies the RF circuitry of the handset. The LDO is optimized for high performance and
adequate quiescent current.
Digital IO LDO (VIO18, VIO28)
The digital IO LDO is a linear regulator that could source 200mA (max) with 2.8V output
voltage. It supplies the the power for baseband circuitry of the SoC.
Analog LDO (VA)
The analog LDO is a linear regulator that could source 150mA (max) with 2.8V output voltage.
It supplies the analog sections of the SoC. The LDO is optimized for low frequency ripple
rejection in order to reject the ripple coming from the burst at 217Hz of RF power amplifier.
TCXO LDO (VTCXO)
The TCXO LDO is a linear regulator that could source 40mA (max) with 2.8V output voltage.
It supplies the temperature compensated crystal oscillator, which needs ultra low noise supply
with very good ripple rejection.
Single-Step RTC LDO (VRTC)
The single-step RTC LDO is a linear regulator that can charge up a capacitor-type backup coin
cell to 2.8V, which also supplies the RTC module even at the absence of the main battery. The
single-step LDO features the reverse current protection and is optimized for ultra low quiescent
current while sustaining the RTC function as long as possible.
Memory LDO (VSF)
The memory LDO is a linear regulator that could source 50mA (max) with 1.8V or 3V
output voltage selection based on the supply Serial flash memory
SIM LDO (VSIM1,2)
The SIM LDO is a linear regulator that could source 100mA (max) with 1.8V or 3.0V output

SIM LDO (VSIM1,2)
The SIM LDO is a linear regulator that could source 100mA (max) with 1.8V or 3.0V output
USB LDO (VUSB)
The USB LDO is a linear regulator that could source 50mA (max) with 3.3V output dedicated
for USB circuitry.
FM LDO (VFM)
The VFM LDO is a linear regulator that could source 40mA (max) with 2.8V output for internal FM chip.
VIBR LDO (VIBR)
The VIBR LDO is a linear regulator that could source 200mA (max) with 1.3V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 2.8V,

3.TECHNICAL BRIEF
3.2.1 Power on and startup
There are three methods to power-on the handset system (When VBAT >= 3.2V)
Push PWRKEY (Pull the PWRKEY pin to the low level)
Pulling PWRKEY low is the typical way to turn on the handset. The VCORE buck converter will be turned on,
the VIO28/VA LDOs and VUSB LDO, VRF/VTCXO LDOs will be turned on finally. The supplies for the baseband
will be ready, and the system reset will end at the moment when the LDOs is fully turned on to ensure the
correct timing and function. After that, the baseband will send the PWRBB signal back to the PMU for
acknowledgement. To successfully power-on the handset, PWRKEY should be kept low until the PMU receives
the PWRBB from the baseband.
RTC module generates PWRBB to wake up the system.
If the RTC module is scheduled to wake up the handset at some time, the PWRBB signal will directly be sent to
the PMU. In this case, PWRBB will become high at a specific moment and allow PMU to be powered-on just
like the sequence described above. The function is called “RTC alarm”
Valid charger plug-in (CHRIN voltage is within the valid range.)
Plugging in the charger will also turn on the handset if the charger is valid (no OVP taken place). However, if
the battery voltage is too low to power-on the handset (UVLO state), the system will not be turned on by any
powered-on automatically as long as the battery voltage is high enough.
Under-Voltage Lockout(UVLO)
The UVLO state in the PMU prevents start-ups if the initial voltage of the main battery is below the 3.2V
threshold. When the battery voltage is gradually lowering, it will enter the UVLO state, and the PMU will be
turned off by itself, except for VRTC LDO, to prevent further discharging.
