RM-436 System Module Voltage Voltage [V] Condition Vcoff- 2.6 ± 0.1 On to off Power key and system power-up When the battery is placed in the phone the power key circuits are energized. When the power key is pressed, the system boots up (if an adequate battery voltage is present). Power down can be initiated by pressing the power key again (the system is powered down with the aid of SW). The power key is connected to EM ASIC N2200 (AVILMA) via PWRONX signal.
RM-436 System Module The SIM IF is shown in the following figure: Figure 24 SIM interface The EM ASIC AVILMA handles the detection of the SIM card. The detection method is based in the BSI line. Because of the location of the SIM card, removing the battery causes a quick power down of the SIM interface. The SIM interface supports both 1.8 V and 3.0 V SIM cards. The SIM interface voltage is first 1.
RM-436 System Module User interface Display module The interconnection between the LCD module and the engine is implemented with a 24-pin board-to-board connector. The LCD module does not require any tuning in service.

RM-436 System Module RF description Receiver (RX) An analogue signal is received by the phone's antenna. The signal is converted to a digital signal and is then transferred further to the baseband (eg. to the earpiece). The receiver functions are implemented in the RF ASIC. Signals with different frequencies take different paths, therefore being handled by different components. Transmitter (TX) The digital baseband signal (eg.
RM-436 System Module Bluetooth Bluetooth provides a fully digital link for communication between a master unit (the phone) and one or more slave units (e.g. a wireless headset). Data and control interface for a low power RF module is provided by the module. Figure 26 Bluetooth interface The Bluetooth has a separate built in antenna and is powered by VBAT and the regulated voltage VIO. For audio applications the Bluetooth has a PCM data bus.
