Basic Theory of Operation: Controller Section Sec 1: 3-11 Controller Section The controller section (see Figure 3-14) comprises of five functional sections that are split among three boards, which are the VOCON, EXPANSION and OPTION boards. The main functional section consists of a dual core ARM and DSP controller, an encryption processor (MACE), Flash memory, and a Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (DDR SDRAM).
Page 44 Sec 1: 3-12 Basic Theory of Operation: Controller Section The power and most clocks to the controller devices are provided by the MAKO IC and external switching and linear regulators on board. A Complex Programmable Logic Array (CPLD) IC divides the 24.576 Mhz clock from MAKO to source OMAP's 32 kHz Real Time Clock, and MACE's 4 Mhz main clock.

® FLASHport The ASTRO APX 7000XE radio utilizes Motorola’s FLASHport technology. FLASHport makes it possible to add software that drives the radio’s capabilities both at the time of purchase and later on. Previously, changing a radio’s features and capabilities meant significant modifications or buying a new radio.
Page 169: Basic Maintenance
Chapter 2 Basic Maintenance This chapter describes preventive maintenance and handling precautions. Each of these topics provides information vital to the successful operation and maintenance of your radio. General Maintenance In order to avoid operating outside the limits set by the FCC, we recommend that you align the ASTRO APX 7000XE radio’s reference oscillator every time the radio is taken apart, or once per year, whichever comes first.
Page 170 Sec 2: 2-2 Basic Maintenance: Handling Precautions • The APX 7000XE radio has a vent port that allows for pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke this vent with any objects, such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. This could create a leak path into the radio and, the radio’s submergibility will be lost.

Sec 2: 3-10 Basic Theory of Operation: Controller Section Controller Section The controller section (see Figure 3-13) comprises of five functional sections that are split among three boards, which are the VOCON, EXPANSION and OPTION boards. The main functional section consists of a dual core ARM and DSP controller, an encryption processor (MACE), Flash memory, and a Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (DDR SDRAM).
Page 181 Basic Theory of Operation: Controller Section Sec 2: 3-11 The power and most clocks to the controller devices are provided by the MAKO IC and external switching and linear regulators on board.

Typical Softpot Screen Adjusting the softpot value sends information to the radio to increase (or decrease) the voltage in the corresponding circuit. For example, left-clicking the UP spin button in the New Softpot Value scroll box on the Reference Oscillator screen instructs the radio’s microcomputer to increase the voltage across a varactor in the reference oscillator, which increases the frequency.
