Confidential Information

GPIO6 - VBIAS

This general purpose I/O pin can be used to control the

powering up/down of a separate voltage converter, which may

be needed to provide the supply voltage for GaAs RF Power

Amplifiers. Significant turn-on time of the voltage converter

requires an early power-up signal, which is provided by

GPIO6. This control is achieved entirely through a software

driver, without hardware support. Since this function is not

needed for all radio solutions, the GPIO pin can be used for

other functions if not required.

GPIO7 - ANTENNASELECT

This general purpose I/O pin can be used to switch between

two different antennas, as required, when the mobile radio is

used in conjunction with a car-kit with external antenna. This

control is achieved entirely through a software driver, without

hardware support. Since this function is not needed for all

radio solutions, the GPIO pin can be used for other functions if

not required.

Tx Timing Control

The following 5 radio interface pins serve different functions

depending on the radio architecture:

TXPHASE

The purpose of this signal is to switch PLLs between Rx and

Tx modes. The signal is generated under control of the flags

TXPHASE Enable and TXPHASE Polarity of the RADIO

CONTROL CC Control Register 2.

6

TXPHASE Polarity

Controls the polarity of the output TXPHASE.

When set to 1, TXPHASE is active low;

When set to 0, TXPHASE is active high.

3

TXPHASE Enable

Enables the output pin TXPHASE if set to 1.

0

Transmit Enable

Enables the output pin TXENABLE if set to 1.

In radios based on the TTP/Hitachi solution, this signal can be

used to switch the VCO´s.

In radios based on the Siemens or Philips solution, this signal

can be used for control switching PLLs, or band switching

UHF PLLs.

TXENABLE

This signal enables the RF modulator and transmit chain

including the PA, and controls the TXON-pin of the AD6425.

The signal is generated under control of flag Transmit Enable

of the RADIO CONTROL CC Control Register 2.

TXPA

This signal is used as a power amplifier (PA) enable and/or as

a control signal for the PA control loop. This allows the PA to

be isolated from the supply outside the Tx-slot to save current.

In the PA control loop it can be used to control the dynamics

of the loop. The flag Tx Pa Polarity in the TRAFFIC MODE

CC Control Register 6, provides independent control for the

TXPA signal.
