DC characteristics

Regulators

The transceiver baseband section has a multi function analog ASIC, UEMK, which con-

tains among other functions six pieces of 2.78 V linear regulators and a 4.8 V switching

regulator. All the regulators can be controlled individually by the 2.78 V logic directly or

through a control register. Normally, direct control is needed because of switching speed

requirement: the regulators are used to enable the RF-functions which means that the

controls must be fast enough.

The use of the regulators can be seen in the power distribution diagram which is pre-

sented in Power Distribution Diagram (page 50).

The seven regulators are named VR1 to VR7. VrefRF01(1.35V) is used as Helgo bias refer-

ence voltage.

The regulators (except for VR7) are connected to the Helgo. Different modes of operation

can be selected inside the Helgo according to the control information coming through

the RFBus.
