Details of the individual subsystems and blocks are described in following Chapters.

Serial Port Interface (SPI)

This module is used to receive the commands transmitted by baseband processor. It will decode the received
data and send corresponding commands to signal processing and analog blocks. The 8-bit serial interface
uses three pins –SPICS#, SPIDATA an SPICK- to enter data. Data read is not available with the serial
interface and data entered must be 8 bits. The description of three pins is:

Signal Name Attribute Direction Description

SPICK Edge Triggered BB->BCT4302B Serial bus clock
SPIDATA Level BB->BCT4302B Serial data
SPICS Active Low BB->BCT4302B SPI bus selection

Figure 2 shows the timing diagram of this serial interface. When the block is idle, SPICK is forced LOW and
SPICS# is forced HIGH. Once the data register contains data and the interface is enabled, SPICS# is pulled
LOW and remains LOW for the duration of the transmission. The first three bits are address bits and the others
are data bits.

Signal Processing Blocks

The main function of this block is to handle the command ordered by baseband processor about SCLK
and SRST. When it receivers commands sent by SPI, it will do the corresponding signal processing, and then
sent the results to analog blocks. The commands is transmitted through serial port interface (SPI) and stored
in the register set. Signal processing blocks will process signals with corresponding commands. The truth
table of SCLK and SRST is shown in the following tables.

It will be noticed that the effect of those controlled signal may not be valid immediately due to the delay of
some processing time.

Analog Blocks
This module contains SIM LDO, level shifter and bandgap function. It will accept the command set by SPI and
also transfer the signals to suitable voltage level to SIM cards. The SIM LDO is a regulator that could source
40mA(max) with 1.8V or 3.0V output voltage selection based on the supply specs of subscriber identity
modules(SIM) card.

SIM Card Interface

The SIM card interface circuitry of BCT4302B meets all ETSI and IMT-2000 SIM interface requirements. It
provides level shifting needs for low voltage GSM controller to communicate with either 1.8V or 3V SIM cards.
All SIM cards contain a clock input, a reset input, and a bi-directional data input/output.

Card Activation and Deactivation

The role of BCT4302B at card activation and deactivation is just a signal bypasser. It will bypass SIMCLK and
SIMRST transmitted by baseband processor and turn on the channel between SIMIO and SIO.
When card activation, user just needs to follow the steps listed below.
♦ Set VSEL to desired level.
♦ Turn on VCCEN and DATAEN in sequence, and the other registers just keep their default settings.
♦ Turn on SIM interface of baseband processor to start activation sequence.

Similarly, when card deactivation, user just follows the steps listed below.
♦ Turn off SIM interface of baseband processor to start deactivation sequence.
♦ Set DATA_L and then turn off VCCEN, and the other registers just keep their default settings.
