1 Introduction
Texas Instruments (TI) TCM4300 IS-54B advanced RF cellular telephone interface circuit (ARCTIC)
provides a baseband interface between the digital signal processor (DSP), the microcontroller, and the RF
modulator/demodulator in a dual-mode IS-54B cellular telephone. See the TCM4300 functional block
diagram.
In the analog mode, the TCM4300 provides all required baseband filtering as well as transmit D/A
conversion and receive A/D conversion using dual 10-bit sigma-delta converters. In addition, a wide-band
data (WBD) –10 kb/s Manchester frequency shift key (FSK) demodulator is provided to allow reduced DSP
processing load during subscriber standby mode.
In the digital mode, the TCM4300 accepts I and Q baseband data and performs A/D and D/A conversion
and square-root raised-cosine filtering using dual 10-bit sigma-delta converters. The TCM4300 also has a
π/4-DQPSK modulation encoder for dibit-to-symbol conversion in the digital transmit mode.
The microcontroller interface is compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers. A microcontroller can be
used to communicate with the user interface (keyboard, display, etc.) and to program up to three frequency
synthesizers by using the on-chip synthesizer interface circuit.
The TCM4300 provides advanced power control to minimize the power consumption of many dual-mode
telephone functional blocks such as the speech codec, FM receiver, I and Q demodulator, transmitter signal
processor, and RF power amplifier. In addition, the TCM4300 is designed to reduce system power
consumption through low-voltage operation and standby mode.
The TCM4300 is offered in the 100-pin PZ package and is characterized for free-air operation from
– 40°C to 85°C.
