Nokia Customer Care Baseband Description and Troubleshooting Introduction The 2255 baseband module is a single-band Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) engine and is based on the DCT4.0 standard. The baseband engine includes two major Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs): • Universal Energy Management Cost (UEMC) •...

• MIC3 input is used for the FM Radio Every microphone input can have either a differential or single-ended AC connection to the UEMC circuit. In the Nokia 2255, the internal microphone (MIC1) and external microphone (MIC2) for UHJ is single-ended. However, the Universal Headset interface is single-ended.
2255 (RM-97) Nokia Customer Care Baseband Description and Troubleshooting Audio Troubleshooting When troubleshooting the audio, make these common checks (see Figure 10): • Perform visual inspection of all the ASIPs and the UEMC. • Inject 1KHz signal into MiC1 and trace it to the earpiece. Only when using IHF signal will it be amplified by a factor of 5x.
2255 (RM-97) Baseband Description and Troubleshooting Audio Phoenix Interface Run Audio Test in Phoenix to check the audio functionality. MiC1- Use the first option to route the audio from the internal microphone to the headset speaker. MiC2- Use the second option to route the audio signal from the headset microphone to internal earpiece.
2255 (RM-97) Nokia Customer Care Baseband Description and Troubleshooting FM Radio How the FM Radio Works The UPP turns on the FM radio and sets the frequency using the CBUS serial interface as the communication channel. A high frequency FM radio signal comes in through RFIN1 Pin to the FM radio chip and gets demodulated into a low frequency signal and is sent to the UEMC for amplification.
2255 (RM-97) Baseband Description and Troubleshooting • If the audio signal is correct (with 800mv DC-offset), then check the UEMC for shorts, voids, and misalignments • If the UEMC and FM Radio Chip are correct, check the UHJ and headset VANA (2.8V)
2255 (RM-97) Baseband Description and Troubleshooting Display How the Display Works Nokia 2255 has a color display (128 x 128 64K color depth), controlled by the UPP through a parallel interface. Display: 64K color (128x128) UHJ Headset jack/ cover 4-way navigation...
2255 (RM-97) Baseband Description and Troubleshooting The 2255 display, keypad, flashlight, and CallLED light are power by a single LED driver and controlled by both UEMC and UPP. GENIO(19) coming out of UPP turns on the LED driver. Then the Dlight comes up, activating the current mirror and turning on the display and keypad backlight.

How the UIM Card Works The Nokia 2255 supports two types of UIM cards that work at 1.8V and 3.0V. When the mobile terminal is switched on with a UIM card, the UPP sends a 1.8V signal to the UIM card and waits for the UIM card’s response and identification.
