DC Power Distribution: DC Regulation and Distribution When the radio is turned on, SWB+ is present and is applied to: • transistor switch Q494 (pins 1 and 6) which turns on Q493 • RX audio power amplifier U490 • voltage divider R420/R421 and port PE0, a microprocessor A/D input which measures battery voltage and radio on/off status The output of FET switch Q493 is applied to the control pins of regulators U310, U320 and U330, turning them on.
6-11 and 6-12). 3.1.1 Microprocessor Circuitry The microprocessor circuitry includes microprocessor (U401) and associated EEPROM, S-RAM (not used in EP450 models), and Flash ROM memories. The following memory IC's are used: Table 3-1. Radio Memory Requirements Reference No. Description Type...
Controller Theory of Operation: Controller 3.1.1.1 Memory Usage Radio operation is controlled by software that is stored in external Flash ROM memory (U404). Radio parameters and customer specific information is stored in external EEPROM (U402). The operating status of the radio is maintained in RAM located within the microprocessor. When the radio is turned off, the operating status of the radio is written to EEPROM before operating voltage is removed from the microprocessor.
Controller Theory of Operation: Controller In order for each circuit block to respond only to the data intended for it, each peripheral has its own chip select (or chip enable) line. The device will only respond to data when its enable line is pulled low by one of the microprocessor ports, as follows: •...
Controller Theory of Operation: Controller The microprocessor reset line (pin 94) can be controlled directly by the digital 3.3 V regulator (U320 pin 7), the microphone jack (part of accessory connector J471) via Q472 and Q471, and the microprocessor itself. U320 pulls the reset line low if the digital 3.3 V source loses regulation. This prevents possible MOS latch-up or overwriting of registers in the microprocessor because the reset line is higher in voltage than the microprocessor VDD ports (U401 pins 12, 39, 59, 88).
The Motorola RLN4460 Portable Test Set and AAPMKN4004 Programming Test Cable provide the proper interface between the radio's ungrounded audio output and ground-referenced test equipment.
Controller Theory of Operation: Controller 3.1.2.5 VOX Operation VOX audio accessories do not have a PTT switch. Instead, the mic cartridge is wired directly from J471-4 to ground. If the radio has been programmed for VOX operation and the VOX accessory is plugged in prior to turning the radio on, the current drawn by the cartridge will turn on Q470 (pins 3- 4-5) and a logic high will be seen at port PJ1 at turn-on.
Chapter 4 VHF Theory Of Operation Introduction This chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the radio components. Schematic diagrams for the circuits described in the following paragraphs are located in Chapter 6 of this manual. VHF Receiver The VHF receiver covers the range of 146-174 MHz and provides switchable IF bandwidth for use with 12.5 kHz or 20/25 kHz channel spacing systems.
VHF Theory Of Operation: VHF Receiver constant at 6.2 mA regardless of device and temperature variations, for optimum dynamic range and noise figure. The output of the RF amplifier is applied to the interstage filter, a fixed-tuned 3-pole series-coupled resonator design having a 3 dB bandwidth of 58 MHz and insertion loss of 1.8 dB. This filter has an image rejection of 42 dB at 235 MHz, with increasing attenuation at higher frequencies.
VHF Theory Of Operation: VHF Transmitter VHF Transmitter The VHF transmitter covers the range of 146-174 MHz. Depending on model, the output power of the transmitter is either switchable on a per-channel basis between high power (5 watts) and low power (1 watt).
VHF Theory Of Operation: VHF Frequency Generation Circuitry 4.3.4 Antenna Matching Network The harmonic filter presents a 50 Ω impedance to antenna jack J140. A matching network, made up of C140-C141 and L140, is used to match the antenna impedance to the harmonic filter. This optimizes the performance of the transmitter and receiver into the impedance presented by the antenna, significantly improving the antenna's efficiency.
VHF Theory Of Operation: VHF Frequency Generation Circuitry Transmit modulation from the ASFICcmp (U451 pin 40) is applied to U201 pin 10 (MOD_IN). An electronic attenuator in the ASFICcmp adjusts overall transmitter deviation by varying the audio level applied to the synthesizer IC. Internally the audio is digitized by the Fractional-N synthesizer and applied to the loop divider to provide the low-port modulation.
VHF Theory Of Operation: VHF Frequency Generation Circuitry One of the auxiliary outputs of the synthesizer IC (AUX3, U201 pin 2) provides the TRB signal which determines the operating mode of the VCO, either receive or transmit. DATA (U401 Pin 100) LOCK LOCK (U401 Pin 56) DATA...

(pF) or microfarads (µF), and inductance values are in nanohenries (nH) or micro- henries (µH). 2. DC voltages are measured from point indicated to chassis ground using a Motorola DC multi- meter or equivalent. If the board has been removed from the chassis, the transmitter module mounting screws may be used for ground connection.
