S1M8656A
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
S1M8656A is a CDMA/AMPS receive-only baseband analog IC, located between the RF mid-frequency
processing terminal and baseband processing terminal. The RF analog mid-frequency signal terminal(IF SAW
filter output), directly connected to the S1M8656A mid-frequency input pin, converts and processes the baseband
signal and sends the corresponding digital signal to the modem IC. Baseband analog processing uses QPSK
modulation, LPF, and A-D converter and the modem IC performs digital CDMA/AMPS baseband modulation on
the digitalized analog baseband signal it receives.
S1M8656A uses a 0.5um BiCMOS, equipped with high-frequency bipolar and low power standardized CMOS
logic, to operate safely in the low power range, consisting of power voltage between 2.7V – 3.6V and operating
temperature between -30°C – +85°C.
CDMA Receive Signal Path
S1M8656A is composed of a receive circuit, installed with TCXO/N, CHIPx8 like clock generator, mode
conversion switch and serial I/F apparatus. The receive circuit has the Rx AGC, an automatic gain controller, and
baseband LPF and output terminal with the A-D converter, and VCO and mixer etc. The input signal is received
as a differential signal, which is modulated to 1.23 MHz spread-spectrum for CDMA. The mid-frequency is
220.38MHz for Korea-PCS, 1.23MHz for US-PCS, and 85.38MHz for cellular; they are set based on the time
constants of the components involved with the external VCO and external Rx PLL. Rx AGC , connected to both
the IF SAW filter and matching component in the RF-IF converter output located in the RF block, amplifies or
reduces according to the signal size. It takes its orders from the modem chip when it sets the appropriate receive
level as required by the CDMA system. Gain is controlled by applying a DC voltage to the RAGC_CONT pin. The
applied DC is produced when the PDM signal, generated as a control signal in the modem, passes through the RC filter. The control band of this AGC is approx. 90dB. The QPSK Baseband modulator separates and modulates
the IF signal sent by the AGC using I(In-phase) and Q(Quad-phase) baseband signal. Essentially, two signals, ILO and Q-LO (Local oscillator), are mixed with AGC's IF output signals, respectively. The LO(local oscillator)
signal is generated by the internal oscillating components, externally connected tank coil, and Varactor, and the
externally independent PLL device is used to generate its exact oscillation mid-frequency.

Defining of the I-Phase and Q-Phase receive path is very important to its design. The polarities of these paths
are also important to digital baseband modulation. Therefore, the output of the QPSK baseband modulation
determines the I and Q phases; I-phase is defined as the phase leading the Q-phase by exactly 90°, but it simpler
to think of I as Cosin and Q as Sin. The figure related to this is shown in Figure 5. This definition is valid only
when the QPSK IF input signal is higher than the IF mid-frequency. The baseband signal, output by the QPSK
modulator, includes various other unnecessary surrounding band noises, which are removed by the use of the
LPF(Low-Pass-Filter).

RX IF/BBA WITH AGC
Ultimately, I and Q filtered signals are converted to digital signals by the 4-bit A-D converter and sent to the
modem. The A-D converter used is a parallel output type and its outputs are synchronized at the CHIPx8 rising
edge. The modem chip captures the data on the CHIPx8 falling edge. The CHIPx8 clock used in the A-D
converter can change the CHIPx8 output to input so that the clock can be used in systems with different TCXO
reference frequency.
FM Rx Signal Path
S1M8656A FM signal path is the same as that of the CDMA with the exception of a different LPF and A-D
converter, which meet the system specification. Basically a FM modulated signal between IF mid-frequency to
±15kHz is input so that the baseband LPF, unlike CDMA, has the 12kHz cut-off frequency characteristic. A-D
Converter has 8-bit resolution, characteristic of AMPS, and processing speed of approx. 40kHz. It does not adopt
the power consuming parallel configuration but rather the series configuration to minimize the consumption
power. Regular receive path processing is the same as the BBA except for the separation of the CDMA/AMPS
signal paths. Rx AGC , connected to both the IF SAW filter and matching component in the RF-IF converter
output located in the RF block, amplifies or reduces according to the signal size. It takes its orders from the
modem chip when it sets the appropriate receive level as required by the CDMA system. Gain is controlled by
applying a DC voltage to the RAGC_CONT pin. The applied DC is produced when the PDM signal, generated as
a control signal in the modem, passes through the R-C filter. The control band of this AGC is approx. 90dB. The
QPSK Baseband modulator separates and modulates the IF signal sent by the AGC using I(In-phase) and
Q(Quad-phase) baseband signals. Essentially, two signals, I-LO and Q-LO (Local oscillator), are mixed with
AGC's IF output signals, respectively. The LO(local oscillator) signal is generated by the internal oscillating
component, externally connected tank coil, and Varactor, and the externally independent PLL device is used to
generate its exact oscillation mid-frequency. Defining of the I-Phase and Q-Phase receive path is very important
to its design. The polarities of these paths are also important to digital baseband modulation. Therefore, the
output of the QPSK baseband modulation determines the I and Q phases; I-phase is defined as the phase
leading the Q-phase by exactly 90°, but it simpler to think of I as Cosin and Q as Sin.

Figure 6 Received I/Q Phase in S1M8656A
The figure related to this is shown in Figure 6. This definition is valid only when the QPSK IF input signal is
higher than the IF mid-frequency. The baseband signal, output by the QPSK modulator, includes various other
unnecessary surrounding band noises, which are removed by the use of the LPF(Low-Pass-Filter). The filter pole
is barely 12kHz , merely in the audible range, for AMPS considering that the CDMA is 630kHz. Ultimately, I and
Q filtered signals are converted to digital signals by the 4-bit A-D converter and sent to the modem. The A-D
converter used is a parallel output type ;its outputs are synchronized at the FMCLK and output in the order that it
was synchronized. The modem chip captures the data by matching the FMDATA to the FMCLK clock. The
CHIPx8 clock used in the A-D converter can change the CHIPx8 output to input so that the clock can be used in
systems with different TCXO reference frequency. The clock used by the A-D converter is provided by the
modem chip. It has a 360kHz frequency but can have 40kHz cycle when converting an 8-bit data.

Rx Low-Pass Filters
The CDMA baseband signal frequency can range between 1kHz – 630kHz. Normally, the range between 1kHz –
615kHz is called the In-band, between 630kHz – 750kHz Band-edge, and anything outside of these ranges out
band. Very precise characteristics are required in the in-band range. The ripple, I/Q gain-phase error are critical
factors that lead to noise in the in-band. FM Baseband signal ranges between 100Hz – 15kHz. Normally, the
frequency range between 100Hz –12kHz is called the in-band, between 12kHz – 18kHz the band-edge, and
anything outside of these ranges the out-band. As for the CDMA, the ripple, I/Q gain-phase error are critical
factors that lead to noise in the in-band.
The LPF characteristic required by these two systems are shown in Figures 7 and 8 below.

CHIPx8 Clock Generator
CHIPx8 CLOCK is a digital division that divides the 19.68MHz TCXO by 512/1025. It holds the TCXO clock by
half cycle every 512th TCXO cycle and strictly speaking it does not generate 9,8304 MHz precisely. The
9.8304MHz is the mean on the 1025TCXO cycle, where 9.84MHz of 50% duty is obtained from 1 – 512 and 513
– 1024. The timing diagram in Figure 9 explains this. The CHIPx8 CLOCK output is held at low when the CDMA
is asleep and FM is idle. Moreover, it can use three division ratios(19.68MHz, 9.84MHz, 9.8304MHz) through the
serial I/F. Various external chip clocks can be used by converting them to inputs.

RX IF/BBA WITH AGC
Rx Voltage Controlled Oscillator(VCO)
S1M8656A includes the Rx LO block having the VCO and quad-phase generator. The quad-phase generator
outputs I-phase and Q-phase clocks with 1/2 the VCO frequency and sends them to the QPSK modulator. The
VCO buffer is used when the VCO output is sent to the external RX PLL. Although the allowable VCO frequency
is determined based on an external time constant, it can only range between approx. 100MHz – 500MHz,
suggesting that the maximum input IF frequency is 250MHz.
Serial Port Interface(SPI)
S1M8656A is equipped with the Serial I/F. All internal functions can be controlled through a common bus using
an external controller. The serial I/F can be used by setting pin 26(SEN) high, the pin which permits/ not permit
the SPI. If the SEN becomes low, the SPI cannot be used and the BBA must be used in the existing BBA 2.0
mode. (All the internal registers are default, which makes the register have the same characteristic as BBA 2.0)
Here, the modem is the master and BBA the slave.
Each pin which uses the SPI bus has the following common functions.
•
The STB(STROBE) for the serial bus start signal is used to initialize serial data transmission.
This pin is used with the IDLEB function in manual mode and designated the IDLB/STB pin.
•
Serial BUS DATA is used for the bidirection data input /output at serial data transmission.
This pin is used with the FMB function in parallel mode and designated the FMB/DATA pin.
Because it is an open drain type pin, it requires the pull-up resistance of approx. 8kΩ.
•
Serial BUS CLK is used to synchronize the data input/output at serial data transmission.
This pin is used with the SLEEPB function in manual mode and designated the SLEEPB/CLK pin.
S1M8656A can be used to power down the TCXO/N block using the SPI bus when the CDMA is asleep (CDMA
SLEEP). This mode, installed to minimize the product consumption power, is entered by setting a specific bit
(PWRDWN) in the CLK_GEN_MODE register to '1'. The current in the sleep mode reduces from 300uA to
10uA. The SEN(PIN26) pins decide on whether the product will used the SPI bus or parallel control inputs; if it is
in low, then the pins the parallel control input functions, IDLEB, FMB, and SLEEPB, but if in high then these pins
execute the SPI bus functions, STB, DATA, and CLK. This product does not require any external time constants
in initializing the internal register because it can use the internal reset function. Figure. 10 shows the serial bus
connection.

The advantage of using the SPI bus is the opportunity given to use all the various functions in the product, thus
allowing more flexibility. Moreover, by tieing all the products using a common bus and controlling them together,
the PCB application area and the number of control pins for the master can be simultaneously reduced, as
compared to controlling the products independently.
Serial Port Interface Operation
The modem, the master, controls slaves such as S1M8656A using the SPI bus.
The STB falling edge indicates the start of the serial I/F data transmission. The STB becomes high to mark the
end of the data transmission.
(Data sent after the STB turns high are not valid.)
Serial line data is captured and stored as soon as the BBA or the MODEM places the clock on the falling edge.
The SPI 3-line must remain high for at least 1-clock cycle in order to sent new data.
The MSB always outputs the data line data.
After 9-clocks, which is required to send data, the data line driver opens the data line, at which time the data line
becomes high because of the external pull-up resistance.
Serial Data Transfer format
S1M8656A and S1M8657 are all slave devices with the SPI bus. What differentiate them from one another is
their different device IDs. Each company has its own characteristic SPI bus configuration , but normally the 3-line
bus is most often used and sometimes the 2-line bus such as the IIC bus.
Figure 11. shows the serial data transfer format.

(14) the CLK continues for half the 1-clock cycle and then becomes high;
(15) and the STB becomes high as soon as the clock becomes high and this marks the end of data transmission.
Modes of Operation
S1M8656A can be controlled by existing parallel control inputs such as BBA 2.0 or by the SPI bus.
The modes of operation consists of digital state FMB, IDLEB, and SLEEPB modes; Table 2 shows the various
modes.

A Rx slot which is not in the existing BBA is shown in the table above. This function was installed for the new FM
Slotted mode. The reason for this new slot is simple. All users are aware of the need to quickly convert from the
sleep mode to the idle mode and that PLL related functions are the slowest to set-up. This is because the PLL
incorporates many external time constants and the large capacitor that is includes takes a long time to charge
and discharge. As one measure, the external time constant could be changed or PLL related blocks could be left
on completely. Here, the Rx slot function in the BBA leaves the VCO completely on. The Rx slot function leaves
the Rx VCO on only when IDLEB is low, SLEEP is low and FMB is low, but an additional 4.5mA of current is
consumed. Even if the RXSLOTB is low in the FM idle mode, remains in the FMSLOT mode.
