G740 Maintenance Manual 4 Software Upgrade

Figure 4-2 Selecting the BIN file and configuration file

In this dialog box, you can select whether to allow a second-time upgrade and select the BIN
(Firmware) file and the configuration file to be loaded.
1. Select the operation type.
Under Be cautious to select, select or deselect Allow upgrade for the Second time to
allow or prohibit a second phone board upgrade.

If the board software is burned and then mounted, do not select this option, and ensure that the board has
just loaded with the BOOT file with the JTAG tool and does not have APP.
In a normal upgrade after printing rear labels, select this option; otherwise, file loading will fail.
Selection or deselection of this option may affect the NV data status of the phone. Be cautious to
confirm the operation in the displayed dialog box.
2. Select the file to load.
Under Please Select File, the browse button is unavailable and the file path is cleared if
the check boxes are deselected.
3. Once selecting a check box, an Open dialog box is displayed, asking you to select a BIN
file. After you select a file, its path information will be displayed in the text box and the
browse button will be available. When the check box is selected and the browse button is
available, you can click the button to change the file path.
4. The default configuration file PhoneMultiUpgradeDefaultCfg.xml (Windows phones
and some other products possibly cannot use the default configuration file, and therefore
a customized configuration file needs to be provided) and the software executable file
WH62406270ML01VerXXXX are in the same directory level.
5. Select Next to navigate to the Home screen.
6. To cancel or exit the software, select Cancel.

The feature code is automatically generated by the software based on the configuration file, and is
intended only for check by R&D personnel.

4.3.2 Scan && Download Button


After clicking the Scan && Download button (before loading a file, ensure that ports have
been correctly mapped; otherwise, loading will fail), the application scans for the mapped
ports (the names of ports to search for are specified in the configuration file) in Device
Manager and start loading software. The port numbers of the found ports are displayed on the
list. You can click Scan && Download several times until the ports of all the UEs are found.

4.4 Procedure
Prepare the required environment and ensure that ports for all phones have been correctly
mapped in Device Manager. Then, click the Scan && Download button. If not all ports are
found after a click, perform several more clicks. During an upgrade, the upgrade progresses of
different phones may be different. When stable phone hot swapping is supported, especially if
several phones need to be hot swapped (unstable hot swapping may cause problems such as
computer down), first remove phones that have been upgraded successfully without affecting
phone being upgraded. This process releases ports for accessing new phones to be upgraded.
After the ports of the new phones are correctly mapped, click the Scan && Download button
again to upgrade the new phones, without affecting other phones being upgraded.

4.5 (Important) Be Cautious to Allow a Second-time


Upgrade

Under Be cautious to select, select or deselect Allow upgrade for the Second time to allow
or prohibit a second phone board upgrade. That is, once is selected, a phone to which phone
software has been downloaded can be upgraded for a second time.

If this downloading tool needs to be used for software loading for a phone that is loaded with a BOOT
file with a JTAG tool and with applications with a USB flash driver, do not select the Allow upgrade
for the Second time option. In addition, before using this tool, ensure that the board has just loaded with
the BOOT file with the JTAG tool and does not have APP; otherwise, downloading will fail and a
message Refuse Download In AMSS Fail will be displayed. If this operation is incorrectly selected in
this case, it may result in faulty phones in subsequent work stations.
In a normal upgrade after printing rear labels, select this option; otherwise, the software upgrade will fail
and a message Refuse Download In AMSS Fail is displayed. Before a software upgrade, the phone
software automatically backs up the NV data in the current phone. After the software upgrade, the phone
software will automatically restore the NV data from the backup data. After a later USG upgrade or SD
upgrade, the NV data will also be restored from the backup. The backup data is restored in the NV
backup area of the phone. Pay attention to the message in the dialog box that is displayed after you
selecting or deselecting this option, and be cautious to confirm your operation.

4.6 Software Downloading Types


Two software upgrade types are available: software is burned (not supported for smart
phones), and software upgrade. The screens for the two types are similar except for the
messages displayed during interchanges with phones. Differentiate the phones for which
software needs to be burned and the phones for which software needs to be upgraded;
production line stoppage or even accidents may result if the phones are not correctly
differentiated. (The software should be initially started by a PE. Operators must not start it
without permission. If no exception occurs during software downloading, this software does
not need to be shut down.)

8.4.6 USIM and microSD Card Interfaces


 USIM card interface
Figure 8-15 shows the USIM card interface circuits. The MSM8930 supports two USIM
cards. The G740 only adopts the USIM1 card interface that supports USIM cards with
voltages of 1.8 V and 3.0 V. The USIM card is powered by VREG_L15. When the USIM
card is being tested, VREG_L15 is first pulled to 1.8 V. If the USIM card is proved to
support 1.8 V, VREG_L15 maintains at 1.8 V. If the USIM card does not support 1.8 V,
VREG_L15 is pulled to 2.85 V to supply power to it.
UIM1_CLK (clock signal), UIM1_REST (reset signal), and UIM1_DATA (data signal,
bidirectional) are directly connected to the MSM8930, among which UIM1_DATA will
be pulled up to VREG_L15. Considering that USIM card operations are frequent,
transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes are added to the circuit to provide ESD and
surge protection.
In addition, to support the NFC function, the USIM card's pin 5 is connected to the NFC
chip's SWIO pin, enabling the NFC data to be saved to the EEPROM of the USIM card.

Figure 8-15 USIM card interface circuits

 microSD card interface


The MSM8930 provides five SD card interfaces, among which the SDC3 interface is
dedicated to microSD cards. In the G740, the SDC3 interface on the MSM8930 is
connected to the microSD card slot, as shown in Figure 8-16.

Figure 8-16 microSD card interface

SDC3_CLK is the clock signal for the microSD card, SDC3_CMD is the command signal,
while SDC3_DATA[3–0] are four data lines. The insertion and removal of the microSD card
is detected by SD_DETECT, which has an external pull-up resistor of 1 mohm. After a
microSD card is inserted into the phone, SD_DETECT is pulled down, enabling the
MSM8930 to detect the card insertion.

8.4.7 Headset Interface


The G740 adopts a 3.5-mm five-line headset interface. Figure 8-17 shows the headset
interface circuits.

Figure 8-17 Headset interface circuits

The headset interfaces consist of the left and right audio channels, microphone, and ground. It
uses a line sequence of LRGM (American line sequence).
Because the headset jack is connected to the board, the TVS pipe is added to provide ESD and
surge protection.
 Headset insertion and removal test
For the insertion and removal test of the headset, refer to the WCD9304 functional diagram.
For the structural diagram related to headset and headset key tests in the WCD9304, see
Figure 8-18.

G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

Figure 8-18 Structural diagram related to headset and headset key tests in the WCD9304

In the WCD9304, HPH_LP is connected to a weak current source L2 in parallel. If no headset


is inserted, the current source L2 works normally, but the Schmitt trigger is not initiated (its
voltage level is high) and not interrupt is incurred. After a headset is inserted, its low
impedance pulls down HPH_LP, initiating the Schimitt trigger and incurring system interrupt
(falling edge). The headset insertion is then detected. The removal of the headset results in a
raising edge interrupt on the HPH_LP Schimitt trigger. This way, the removal of the headset is
detected. The headset's pin4 (HS_DETECT) is connected to the MSM's GPIO_37 pin, which
can also detect headset insertion. When the headset is inserted into an active speaker, the
impedance may not be sufficient to pull down HPH_LP. As a result, the headset insertion
cannot be detected. Therefore, HS_DETECT is preferred.
 Headset key test
When a headset is detected, the current source L1 connected in parallel to MIC_BIAS inside
the WCD9304 generates a periodic pulse of 1.8 V and 100 ms on MIC_BIAS. After this pulse
distributes its voltage to the MIC_BIAS's pull-up resistor (2.2 kohms) and MIC impedance of
the headset, the MBHC_IN pin receives a periodic pulse of 1.1 V and 100 ms. When this
pulse is initiated, the system checks L1's Schimitt trigger. If a headset key is pressed, the
Schimitt trigger will be pulled down, triggering a key interrupt. In addition, the headset keys
are not directly connected to GND. Each key has a different resistance-to-ground. Different
values will be obtained from MBHC_IN's ADC for different key operations. Therefore,
different key operations are identified.

Details about the Audio Interfaces


 Speaker
The speaker employs an external Class D amplifier. This design includes a differential input
from a signal audio channel and single-speaker output. The PM8038 uses SPKR_OUT_M and
SPKR_OUT_P for output to the external Class D amplifier to drive the speaker. Figure 8-21
shows the signal connections of the PM803.

 Microphone
The G740 adopts a dual microphone noise reduction scheme. The two silicon microphones
have the same specifications. The main microphone is on the U board and at the bottom of the
phone. It is used to collect audio input. The secondary microphone is on the M board and in
the middle upper area of the phone. It is used to collect environmental noise to reduce the
noise and eliminate echo. Both microphones use MIC_BIAS1 output by the codec as the bias
voltage.

The G740 has four physical keys: power, volume up, volume down. In addition, it has three
touch keys on the TP: search, back, and menu.
The power key's signal KYPD_PWR_ON is connected to the KYPD_PWR_N pin of the
PM8038.

Battery Interfaces
Figure 8-24 shows the G740's battery interface. VBAT is the battery voltage, BATT_TEMP is
the output pin for the battery temperature check, and VREF_THERM is the pull-up reference
voltage for the battery temperature check. The G740 does not support battery ID check. The
ID check pin BAT_ID is connected to a fixed voltage signal. The temperature threshold can
be set based on the actual needs and implemented by adjusting the connected resistance. For
the detailed temperature check procedure and principles, see Figure 8-24.

Charging
The PM8038 supports charging through USB and wall chargers. See Table 8-7 for pins related
to charging through USB and wall chargers.

Table 8-7 Pins related to charging through USB and wall chargers

Because the wall charger ultimately charges the G740 using its USB port, current enters the
PM through USB_IN, no matter you are using a wall charger or USB charger. The PM then
detects the current, and the current then flows from USB_OUT to DC_IN, where the voltage
is checked.
 Power input circuit
RC network: Both USB and wall chargers have RC networks. Respectively choose
capacitors of 1.0 uF and 4.7 uF for filtering, stabilizing the voltage, and ensuring the
compatibility between electromagnetic fields. The resistor is mainly used to pull down
the voltages. When the phone is not connected to a wall charger or USB charger, the RC
network's voltage is pulled down to the ground. A quick check of connections can be
realized using resistors.
Current check: Conducted within the PM. Input current is checked only when the phone
is charging through a USB charger.
Battery controlling MOS: The p-channel MOSFET is used. This MOS is controlled by
BAT_FET_N of the PM8038. When the MOS is connected, VPH_CHG charges the
battery and supplies power to the phone.

Figure 8-25 Power supply solution of the G740

Figure 8-26 USB power supply

 External voltage check


The PMIC continuously monitors the external power supply voltage at USB_IN. Based
on this voltage, the PMIC checks whether a power supply is connected and verifies
whether the connection duration is within the valid range. The PMIC prevents
unexpected switch-on and switch-off around the threshold with the hysteresis function
and report the voltage status of USB_IN to the state machine on chip and MSM or QSC
device.
 OVP
The G740 supports the completely built-in OVP circuit and USB-OTG switch. When
you connect a USB charger to the phone, USB OTG is connected, and the OVP circuit
checks the input voltage. If the voltage does not reach the preset value (range: 5.5–7.5 V;
step: 0.5 V; default value: 6.5 V), the MOSFET is connected, and USB_OUT receives
charging voltage. If the detected voltage exceeds the threshold, the overvoltage
protection is enabled, the MOS gets disconnected, and the charging voltage cannot pass
the MOS.

 Enabling and disabling battery charging and the four control loops
The PM8038 can implement charging protection using the closed-loop controls of USB
input current, charger input voltage, BUCK circuit output voltage, and battery charging
current. Figure 8-28 shows the four closed loops.
The PM8038 controls the charging current and voltage by selecting the loop with the
least duty ratio.

Figure 8-28 Closed loops

Main Battery Charging


The PM8038 supports charging of Li-ion batteries in four ways: trickle, constant current,
constant voltage, and pulsed charging. Through the analog multiplexer of the PM, the MSM
detects the battery voltage, external power voltage, and current to control the charging
process.
During the startup process, the charging state machine powers on. After VDD occurs, the state
machine reacts to certain conditions, such as whether the charger is connected and whether
the battery requires trickle charging. When the phone is connected to a power supply, the state
machine is set up to read the phone's initial status. The hardware then determines whether

Issue 1.0 (2013-10-18) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 51


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

automatic trickle charging is required. This charging method restricts the charging current and
prevents the VDD from unexpected power-off. After the phone system starts up, the software
automatically determines whether to enable trickle charging mode. When the battery voltage
reaches a threshold, constant current charging is used to accelerate the charging speed, which
is also called fast charging mode. Once the Li-ion battery reaches a target voltage, the
software enables constant voltage mode or pulsed charging mode. Figure 8-30 shows the
charging process.

Figure 8-29 Charging process

The detailed introduction to the charging methods is as follows:


 Trickle charging
When the battery is in deep discharge state, charging the battery with strong current will
make the VDD collapse, which will cause function disorder or power-off of the phone.
To avoid this issue, the PM8038 provides a stable charging method with weak current —
trickle charging. The PM8038 can implement trickle charging using USB or trickle
charging on chip. Figure 8-30 shows the trickle charging process.

Figure 8-30 Tricking charging process

Issue 1.0 (2013-10-18) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 52


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

Trickle charging is controlled by the phone software. Generally speaking, when the
battery voltage reaches the threshold (3.0 V for Li-ion batteries), trickle charging ends.
The software monitors the battery voltage through the HKADC and controls when to end
the trickle charging. The software can also control the trickle charging current. The
charging current can range from 50 mA to 300 mA in certain increments.
 Constant current charging
Constant current charging requires that the MOS is in linear areas and the main battery is
connected to the VDD. A closed-loop control is formed after the battery current is tested.
The current is adjusted to the preset value through the transistor. IMAXSEL.MSM
controls the constant current charging process until the battery voltage reaches the preset
value. Figure 8-31 shows the constant current charging process.

Figure 8-31 Constant current charging

When VBAT is close to Vset, the charging current decreases. The constant current
charging then ends, and the constant voltage charging begins. Figure 8-32 shows the
waveforms of the voltage and current during constant current charging.

Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

Figure 8-32 Waveforms of the voltage and current during constant current charging

 Constant voltage charging


The settings of constant voltage charging and constant current charging are similar. The
MOSFET works in linear areas, and the transistor performs the closed-loop control to
make sure that VBAT reaches the preset value VMAXSEL. This ensures that the battery
voltage can reach a more accurate value. Li-ion battery manufacturers usually
recommend that the voltage precision reaches 1% or higher when charging ends. During
the constant voltage charging process, the battery voltage remains constant (or almost
constant), and the charging current decreases exponentially. Figure 8-33 shows the
constant voltage charging process.

Button Battery Charging and Backup Power Supply


The G740 does not have a button battery. Instead, it is connected to two 22 uF capacitors in
parallel.
Some clock circuits and the RTC circuit continue to run when the phone is powered off. The
main battery supplies power to these circuits if it is in place. If the main battery is absent, a
button battery or backup capacitor is required. The backup power supply does not have
sufficient power to support the continuous operation of the RTC and other circuits, but it
applies to scenarios of Sudden Momentary Power Loss (SMPL). Capacitors with different
capacitance can endure for different time. A 22 uF capacitors can endure for more than 10
seconds.
Figure 8-34 shows the backup power supply's charging process. The backup power supply's
charging settings are always effective and will not be restored upon SMPL protection. When
the main battery is connected, the phone is charged even if it is powered off.

battery identification. You can set the temperature threshold. Adjust the external resistors
to be connected according to the desired threshold.

 Battery voltage warning


A programmable window detector continues to adjust the VBAT voltage. The two
thresholds, VBAT high, and VABT low are all programmable. Voltage hysteresis is
included to make sure the battery voltage is stable. Certain conditions must be met for
the interrupt to take place to prevent redundant interrupts. This hysteresis is also
programmable. If the battery voltage returns to the range before the programmable
hysteresis, the hysteresis timer is reset, and no interrupt will occur.

 UVLO and SMPL


Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) continues to monitor the VDD and powers off the
phone when the battery power is low. The programmable UVLO threshold is lower than
the low battery threshold.
If the VDD drops out of the voltage range and returns to the range within the preset time,
the SMPL function initializes the power-on sequence. If SMPL is enabled on the
software, once sudden power loss occurs, the SMPL starts functioning right away and is
restored to its original state.

Proximity and Ambient Light Sensor


There are two suppliers for proximity and ambient light sensors: AVAGO and TAOS. They
both provide solutions integrating the ALS, proximity detection, and IR LED. The pins of the
ADPS-990x by AVAGO and the TMD2771x by TAOS are completely compatible. The
ambient light sensor is used to automatically adjust the LCD backlight brightness based on the
detected ambient light, while the proximity sensor is used to avoid misoperation on the
capacitive screen during calls.
The proximity sensor emits IR through its internal infrared diode and detects the returned IR
strength through the internal light detector. The use of all-pass diodes and infrared diodes to
filter the invisible elements from the ambient light to achieve the light sensing capability close
to that of human eyes. The sensor not only supports the communication method of I2C but
also programmable interrupt thresholds.

 Power supply voltage monitoring: Monitoring signals such as VBAT, VCOIN, VCHG,
USB_IN, and DC_IN are brought in through the analog interface of the PM 8038 power
supply, and then sent to HKADC through the internal analog multiplexer and converted
into digital signals.
 Battery temperature monitoring: Resistors are installed in series on the NTC in the
battery and the resistors are connected to VREF_THERM. The voltage allocated to NTC
resistors passes through the analog multiplexer, and is then sent to HKADC and
converted into digital signals.
 PA temperature monitoring: A temperature sensor (an NTC resistor) is placed near the PA
to measure the temperature of the PA. The output PA_THERM of the temperature sensor
is connected to the PM8038 analog multiplexer, and is then sent to HKADC and
converted into digital signals. When designing the PCB, this temperature sensor should
be placed as close to the PA as possible.
 Crystal temperature monitoring: The 19.2 MHz crystal oscillator equipping with an NTC
resistor is used. The TH-IN pin is connected to the XO_THERM pin of the PM8038. The
crystal temperature information passes through the PM8038 analog multiplexer, and is
then sent to HKADC and converted into digital signals.

 The PON_RESET_N signal is the reset signal released by the PM8038 when it finishes
the power-on sequence. When the PM8038 powers on, the PON_RST_N pin is in a low
level. When the power supply and clock finish the power-on sequence as scheduled, the
PON_RST_N pin is pulled to a high voltage level after a certain period of time, making
the MSM8x30 main chip is initiated after it is released from the hardware reset state, as
shown in Figure 8-48.

 There is a hardware reset input pin RESIN_N on the PM8038 chip. When the phone
breaks down or encounters other function faults, pull down the pin and keep it down for
a certain period of time by pressing the external reset switch can reset the PM8038.

Figure 8-49 Power-off sequence

Pay attention to the following items when using the reset signal:
 The reset function can be enabled through the SBI control.
 There is a pull-up resistor for the RESIN_N signal in the PM8038. Reset the phone by
pulling down the pin externally.

G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

 The PM8038 contains a programmable timer (32 ms–10.25s). If the RESIN_N is pulled
up before the timer overflows, the PMIC chip will not make any move, deeming it as
mis-touching of the reset key. If the RESIN_N is kept low until the timer overflows, the
PMIC chip will reset the board.
 During the reset, the PMIC sends an interrupt signal to the MSM, and then the internal
reset timer (10 ms–2s, programmable) starts counting. The modem chip will turn off the
internal functional module in sequence after receiving the interrupt signal. If the modem
is turned off before the timer overflows, the PMIC chip starts implementing the
power-off sequence. When the timer overflows, the PMIC chip will implement the
power-off sequence regardless of whether the modem chip is turned off.
 Once the PMIC chip finishes the power-off sequence, the "remain off or attempt
power-on" pit of the SBI control register will determine whether to restart the power-on
sequence or keep the power-off state.
In this design, the RESIN_N pin of the PM8038 is suspended in the air, and is not used.

The MSM8x30 chip contains a RESOUT_N pin. (This reset output signal is generated by

The WDOG_RESET Timer And Soft Reset


The WDOG_RESET timer in the MSM is a 14-digit timer. When the system hardware or
software encounters unexpected failures, and the timer will overflow and initiate the reset
procedure if the CPU does not reset the watchdog within the time limit. The enable/disable
function of the watchdog can be realized through the WDOG_DISABLE pin. When the pin is
pulled up, the watchdog will be disabled. When the pin is suspended in the air, the watchdog
will be enabled. Qualcomm suggests us to reserve the pull-up resistor pin that can be used
during testing stage. When the product is in delivery stage, the pin should be suspended in the
air.

Figure 8-52 Watchdog reset timer and soft reset diagram

Note that the WDOG_DISABLE status is read only once when the phone is powered on.
Later the pin will be used as the GPIO. Therefore, the WDOG_DISABLE pull-up power
supply is the VREG_L11_1P8_FET in Figure 8-52. The power supply will be suspended
when the MSM is turned on.
The watchdog reset is as follows:
1. When the watchdog timer overflows, the MSM drivers PS_HOLD to a low level.
2. When the PMIC detects that PS_HOLD is at a low level, it will drive the PON_RST_N
signal to a low level. The MSM and other peripheral chips will then be reset.
3. After a certain period of time, check various status of the phone to make sure that
watchdog timer overflowing and software reset are implemented.
4. During the software resetting procedure, the PMIC will not be powered off. Instead, it
resets all the SBI registers to their default values. 20 ms later, it drives the PON_RST_N
signal to a high level, releasing the MSM from the reset state

The tri-color indicator is driven by the PM8038. See Figure 8-53 for the detailed connection
method. The red indicator LED_RED_DRV is connected to the RGB_RED pin of the
PM8038. The green indicator LED_GREEN_DRV is connected to the RGB_GRN pin of the
PM8038. The blue indicator LED_BLUE_DRV is connected to the RGB_BLU pin of the
PM8038. The PM8038 controls the current value and percentage to adjust the brightness and
color of the tri-color indicator.

8.4.16 Board Power Allocation Solution


On the G740 phone, the power supply is mainly provided by the PM8038 power management
chip.

PM8038 power management chip


1. General description on the PM8038 power allocation
The PM8038 provides two types of programmable voltage regulators with a total of 33 output
channels: six switched-mode power supplies and 27 LDO regulators. Besides, two
low-voltage switches and one negative voltage are provided.
Although each regulator has a recommended function, all regulators have other usages except
for the following regulators.
 S1: Dedicated to supply power to MSM's modem and the USB.
 S5: Dedicated to supply power to MSM's krait #1.
 S6: Dedicated to supply power to MSM's krait #2.
 L13: Dedicated to supply power to the PMIC CLOCK.
 L15/L17: Dedicated to supply power to the UIM card.
Table 8-16 lists the voltage regulator parameters.

G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

Table 8-17 Voltage regulator specifications (2)

2. Reference source
All the voltage regulators and other circuits in the PM8038 share the same reference voltage
source. There are some special requirements in the circuit connection between the PM8038
and other circuits. The REF_GND pin is the ground for the reference power supply. The
REF_BYP pin connects a 0.1 uF bypass capacitor to the ground, realizing low-pass filtering
function together with the internal resistors. The filtered voltage can be provided to the MPP
pin, serving as the analog output.
Figure 8-54 shows the reference circuit.

Figure 8-54 Reference circuit

3. Switched-mode power supply


The switched-mode power supply (SMPS) is realized through the PWM method, and can
function under PWM and PFM mode.
To enhance the efficiency under low-current mode, the transverter can function properly
under low power consumption mode. The transverter is shut down for most of the time and is
turned on for a short period of time to maintain the output voltage. Under low consumption
mode, the buck transverter reduces its pulse frequency and works under pulse frequency

G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

modulation (PFM) mode. Note that when the load is extremely light, the pulse frequency may
be reduced to the audio frequency range, influencing the audio performance.
The PM8038 contains six Buck SMPS circuits, among which two are fast transient SMPS
circuits with the maximum output current of 2000 mA, and the other four are high-frequency
SMPS circuits with the maximum output current of 1500 mA. It is recommended to supply
power in the following way:
 S1: Supply power to MSM's core (1500 mA).
 S5: Supply power to MSM's krait #1 (2000 mA).
 S6: Supply power to MSM's krait #2 (2000 mA).
 L16/L19: Supply to the QDSP (1200 mA).

Figure 8-55 Switched-mode power supply diagram (1)

Figure 8-56 Switched-mode power supply diagram (2)

All the bucks have two control modes: PFM (with low power consumption) and PWM (the
normal mode). To realize the greatest efficiency, bucks automatically choose between the
working modes. You can also use software to select working mode.
The two types of SMPSs adopt a constant frequency mode control structure and use build-in
switch tube.
4. LDO
The low drop-out (LDO) regulator consists of the following four functional modules: the
reference voltage, control components, feedback path, and error amplifier. The four functional
modules form a closed-loop control system to reduce the gap between the output voltage and
the reference voltage. The system will not adjust the current output. The input of the error
amplifier includes reference voltage and the proportional output of the output voltage

Issue 1.0 (2013-10-18) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 73

G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

generated from the feedback path. Any difference between the two inputs will be amplified by
the error amplifier. The closed-loop system changes the control component, which changes
the output voltage, with the ultimate purpose of reducing the difference to zero. The accuracy
of output voltage does not vary with the change of the current. Figure 8-57 is the LDC
functional block diagram.

Figure 8-57 LDC functional block diagram

Reference voltage: The PM8038 generates reference voltage using the trimmed bandgap. Its
accuracy and stability directly influence the output voltage. The closed-loop system offers
percentage feedback; therefore, the reference voltage is optional.
Control component: The PM8038 uses the PMOS tube as the control component, which has
two main functions. First, generate different voltage drops between the gate and source based
on different output of the amplifier. Second, a wide-range of current passes through the drain
without influencing the drain voltage drop. When you turn on or off the circuit, the current
passing through the control component changes greatly, satisfying the different working mode
of the phone, including sleep, Rx, and Rx/Tx mode.
Feedback path and error amplifier: The PM8038 uses op amplifier circuit to realize the
function of feedback path and error amplifier. The output voltage Vout provides feedback
input through the resistor network. To begin with, , and according
to the features of operation amplifier, V (+) = V (-) while V (+) = Vin, therefore V (-) = Vin.
Consequently, the output voltage is , and the feedback control function
is realized.
The PM8038 LDO can be classified into five categories based on the output current. The first
category covers L1, L16, L19, L20, L24, and L27, whose output current is 1200 mA. The
second category covers L5, L6, L7, L10, and L11, whose output current is 600 mA. The third
category includes L8, L9, and L12, whose output current is 300 mA. The fourth category
includes L2, L15, L17, L21, and L26, whose output current is 150 mA. The last category
covers L3, L4, L18, L22, and L23, whose output current is 50 mA.
5. NCP
The PM8038 contains an NCP SMPS, which serves to generate a –1.8 V power supply,
supplying power to stereo headset. The NCP is not used in the G740 phone.

Issue 1.0 (2013-10-18) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 74

G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

6. Voltage switch
The PM8038 contains two low-voltage switches: LVS 1 and LVS 2, which can supply a
current of 100 mA.

Internal Voltage Connection


Some internal modules in the PM8038 use the output of the special voltage regulators. The
connections between internal modules and voltage regulators are made internally. Only when
the regulators output in a normal way and are in the default state can the modules in the
PM8038 function properly. The signal connection is shown in Table 8-16.

8.4.18 Board Power-on and Power-off Processes


Figure 8-59 shows the power-on and power-off processes when the power switch is set to ON.

Figure 8-59 PM038 power-on and power-off processes

Figure 8-60 PM8038 power supply grouping diagram

The power-on sequence starts when you press the power switch and the KPDPWR_N signal
of the PM8038 is pulled down. To ensure a successful power-on process, this signal must be
kept at a low level before the PS_HOLD signal is pulled up.
After KPDPWR_N is pulled down for a certain period of time (treg1), the voltage regulators
are turned on in sequence from Group 7 to Group 0. The power supplies in the same group are
turned on with a time lag of four sleep clock cycles. After all the voltage regulators are
enabled, the detection circuit will check whether the power-on process is accomplished. A
short delay (treg) can be found in the power-on process of different groups before all the
power supplies that are on by default are powered on.

Issue 1.0 (2013-10-18) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 77


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

The PON_RESET_N signal is pulled up after a short delay (treset1). This delay aims to
ensure that the MSM has enough time to complete the power-on process.
In the initial stage of the power-on sequence, the PS_HOLD signal can be in any state, but it
must be pulled up before the tpshold timer overflows. Till then, a successful power-on process
is complete.
If the PS_HOLD signal remains at low level after the tpshold timer overflows, the power-on
process fails and the power-off process starts immediately. The PS_HOLD signal is always at
a high level when a phone is being powered on.
The power-off process starts when the power key is pressed and the KPDPWR_N signal of
the PM is pulled down for a specified period of time. This time range must be long enough to
ensure that the phone does not deem it as a mis-touching move. After this period of time, the
MSM pulls down the PS_HOLD signal and requests the PM8038 to initiate the power-off
process.
After a short time span (treset0), voltage regulators are enabled in sequence from Group 0 to
Group 7, which is the reverse order for enabling voltage regulators during the power-on
process.

Power-on Process
When the PS_HOLD signal remains at a low level, the PM8038 is off, and the power-on
circuit is detecting the following events that can trigger the power-on sequence:
 The power key is pressed, and the KPDPWR_N signal is pulled down.
 Cable Poweron pins are pulled down.
 External power supplies are plugged in (the VCHG pin voltage exceeds the related
threshold).
 A real-time clock alarm is triggered.
 SMPL occurs.
Any of the preceding events can generate power-on signals, and a related interrupt signal is
sent to the triggering source of the MSM8930 power-on process. No matter what the
triggering source is, the PM8038 performs the power-on process as follows:
1. Any of the five triggering events occurs or they occur in sequence.
2. The PM8038 determines and selects power supplies. If the VCHG pin voltage exceeds
the threshold, the charger is used as power supplies. If the VCHG pin voltage is lower
than the threshold, the PM8038 pulls up the BAT_FET_N signal, uses the main battery
as power supplies, and prohibits charging.
3. The internal bandgap voltage reference is enabled.
4. The VDD voltage is monitored. When the voltage exceeds the under voltage lock out
(UVLO) threshold, the power-on process continues.
5. The PM8038 pulls down the PON_RESET_N signal even though this signal has not
been generated because the MSMP is not enabled. This mechanism ensures that the
PON_RESET_N signal can be in proper state during the MSM power-on process.
6. The PM8308 restores the SBI register to its default settings. If the VCOIN voltage is
lower than the related threshold, the PM8308 also restores the SBI bit powered by the
backup battery and the RTCRST interrupt.
7. The PM8308 sets the SMPL interrupt state and restores the SMPL timer if the SMPL
function is enabled and the SMPL restart signal is valid. This move aims to prepare for
the next SMPL event.

Issue 1.0 (2013-10-18) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 78


Copyright © Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

8. After the treg1 delay, the PM8308 enables voltage regulators in the following sequence:
S2 > L24 > S1 > S4 > L11 > L20 > L26 > L4 > L22 > L6 > L3 > L5.
9. The PM8308 pulls up the PON_RESET_N signal a short time delay (treset1) after all
voltage regulators that are on by default have been powered on.
10. The PS_HOLD times starts counting and monitors the PS_HOLD signal sent by the
MSM in real time. A successful power-on process requires that the PS_HOLD signal
changes from low to high before the PS_HOLD timer completes counting. If the
PS_HOLD signal has not been pulled up when the PS_HOLD timer overflows, the
PM8308 goes back to the off state and the power-on process returns to step 1. If any of
the five triggering event still occurs, for example the KPD_PWR_N signal remains at
low level, the power-on process starts again. If the PS_HOLD signal becomes high
before the PS_HOLD timer overflows, the PM8038 enters the power-on state (sleeping
or working) and sends the related interrupt signal to the MSM to determine the triggering
source.
The power-on process fails if any of the following events occurs:
 The triggering signal disappears. In this case, the power-on process stops and returns to
step 1.
 The VDD voltage decreases and reaches the UVLO threshold before the PS_HOLD
signal is pulled up. In this case, the PM8308 terminates the power-on process and retries
it twice. If all these three power-on attempts fail, the PM8308 is reset and waits for the
next triggering event.

If the PS_HOLD signal is pulled up before the VDD voltage decreases to the UVLO threshold, the
restart circuit does not work and this event is processed in the same way as an SMPL event.

When the MSM is powered on, the PM8308 remains on until the PS_HOLD signal is pulled
down, a UVLO event occurs, or an overheating shutdown event occurs. In any of these three
cases, the PM8308 performs the power-off process.

Power-off Process
When the PS_HOLD signal of the MSM remains at high level, the PM8308 is on and will
detect any of the following events that trigger the power-off process:
 The power key is pressed, and the MSM pulls down the PS_HOLD signal.
 The VDD voltage detected at the ISNS_M pin is lower than the UVLO threshold.
 The temperature of the PM8038 exceeds the overheating threshold.
In general, the power-off sequence is triggered when the power key is pressed and the
MSM8930 is on. The KPDPWR_N pin (can be pulled up inside the PM8038) of the PM8038
connects to the power key on the phone. The MSM8930 monitors the power key using the
interrupt logic. When the KPD_PWR_N interrupt event occurs, the MSM starts the power-off
process:
1. The power key is pressed and held for a period, and the power-off menu is displayed.
2. The MSM writes the information that must be saved into the flash memory when the
user chooses the power-off option.
3. The MSM disables the SMPL function to prevent itself from being powered on again.
4. The MSM pulls down the PS_HOLD signal.
5. The PM8038 pulls down the PON_RESET_N signal, resets the MSM and other
peripherals, and shuts down the TXCO manager.

Issue 1.0 (2013-10-18) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 79

G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

6. After the treset0 interval, the MSM determines the next action depending on the
following conditions:
7. If the temperature of the PM8038 exceeds the overheating threshold, the MSM pulls
down the PON_RESET_N signal immediately and shuts down all PM8038 circuits to
prevent the PM8038 from being damaged.
8. If the VDD voltage is lower than the UVLO threshold, the MSM pulls down the
PON_RESET_N signal immediately and shuts down all PM8038 circuits to prevent the
main battery from being damaged.
9. If either of the preceding events does not occur and the watchdog restart bit is set, the
MSM sets the interrupt status bit of the watchdog. Then, the MSM8930 restarts, its
watchdog timer resets, and the PM8038 restarts without being powered off.
10. If any of the preceding events does not occur and the SMPL function is enabled, the
SMPL process is triggered.
11. If none of the preceding events occurs, the normal power-off process continues.
12. The MSM8930 shuts down the remaining power managers in turn. Only the battery or
the VPH_PWR provided by external power supply is used to supply power.

8.4.19 Clock Solution


The MSM8930's clock source consists of two parts, the 27 MHz PXO clock and the 19.2
MHz CXO clock. The 32.768 kHz sleep clock signals are generated by the internal RC
oscillation circuit and calibrated by the external 19.2 MHz CXO clock.

8.4.20 RTC and Battery Backup


The power-off clock (RTC) and SMPL recovery function rely on the precise 32 kHz clock
(32.768 kHz). Figure 8-61 shows the clock source of the PM8038 sleep clock, which consists
of four components: external 32 kHz crystal oscillator, built-in RC oscillator (for calibration),
external 19.2 MHz crystal oscillator's frequency divider, and 19.2 MHz frequency division of
the RC oscillator.

G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

Figure 8-61 clock source of the PM8038 sleep clock

The two frequency dividers are put into use only when the 32K crystal oscillator and RC
crystal are unavailable. The 19.2 M frequency division produced by the crystal oscillator and
RC oscillator generates the low-precision 32K clock, which can be used as a sleep clock only.
Only the two oscillators can generate the RTC and SMPL recovery clocks.

8.4.21 UVLO and SMPL Recovery Functions


The PM8038 supports the under voltage lockout (UVLO) and protection functions using the
UVLO circuit. The UVLO circuit monitors the VDD voltage and turns off the PM8038 when
the voltage is too low. The threshold (2.70 V by default) for voltages that can trigger a UVLO
event can be programmed, from 1.50 V to 3.05 V by increments of 50 mV. This threshold
must be lower than the low voltage alarm threshold of the phone.
Even thought the UVLO is realized by hardware, signals output by the UVLO circuit can be
used for additional features by interacting with software, such as SMPL recovery, power-on
sequence termination, and timeout soft reset of the watchdog.
The power-on process is initialized only if the VDD voltage exceeds the threshold. The low
VDD voltage for a certain period will trigger a UVLO event. Setting timeout duration
prevents noise signals from being detected as UVLO events. The VDD voltage being low for
a certain period of time would trigger a UVLO event. Once a UVLO event is detected, the
PON_RST_N voltage will be pulled down, and the phone will be powered off. The voltage
threshold can be programmed, but the UVLO event detection does not involve software. The
timeout duration length cannot be modified. The UVLO events do not generates interrupt
signals. Instead, it pulls down PON_RST_N directly to start the power-off process.
Figure 8-62 shows the UVLO event detection mechanism.

Figure 8-62 UVLO event detection mechanism

Issue 1.0 (2013-10-18) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 81

G740 Maintenance Manual 8 Working Principles

The sudden momentary power loss (SMPL) recovery function enables the PM8038 to restart
after a momentary power-off.
The SMPL recovery can be enabled using software. After you enable the SMPL recovery, if
the VDD voltage recovers to the normal value (higher than 2.7 V) within the preset timeout
duration (0.5s to 2.0s), the following recovery process will be initiated:
 Driven by the UVLO event, the PON_RST_N voltage is pulled down, and the PM8038
is powered off.
 The backup capacitor or button battery connected to the VCOIN pin starts to power the
SMPL circuit.
If the VDD voltage recovers within the programmed interval, the PM8038 powers on
again without requiring any software intervention. In the meantime, the PMIC sends
interrupt signals to the MSM to inform that: a sudden momentary power loss has
happened
the RTC is affected by the abnormal voltage
the current power-on process is abnormal.
 If the VDD voltage fails to recover within the programmed interval, the phone powers
off. Only a normal power-on process can bring the phone back on.
To use the SMPL recovery function, enable it using software and ensure that the phone has a
keep-alive capacitor or backup battery.

Figure 8-64 shows the VCOIN circuit of the G740. The 44 uF capacitor ensures that the RTC
is maintained when you replace the phone's main battery.

Bluetooth+Wi-Fi module. This section gives a detailed introduction to each module.

8.5.1 W-CDMA/GSM Transmission


The RF subsystem employs the platform chip of WTR1605L, which implements RF
transmission and receiving and GPS functions. Figure 8-65 shows the block diagram of the
WTR1605L.

Figure 8-65 WTR1605L block

The WTR1605L provides seven common WCDMA/CDMA/LTE reception channels. Among


them, three are used for receiving low-frequency differential signals, and other four all for
receiving middle-frequency and high-frequency signals. The WTR1605L also contains four
diversity reception channels. Among them, two are used for receiving low-frequency
differential signals, and the other two for receiving middle-frequency and high-frequency
signals. The WTR1605L has a GPS reception channel (support A-GPS), providing the IQ
signal to the baseband. In the meantime, the WTR1605L possesses four GSM transmission
channels. GSM and WCDMA share two channels to output I/Q signals to the baseband.

RF transmit circuit
The transmit circuit of the WTR1605L can be classified into four WCDMA/GSM systems.
Among them, WCDMA is classified into the B1, B2, B4, and B5 bands while GSM is
classified into four frequencies bands of GSM, EGSM, PCS, and DCS. The WCDMA B1, B2,
B4, and B5 bands and the four GSM frequency bands share the same multimode power
amplifier to transmit circuit, as shown in Figure 8-66.

The WTR1605L integrates all LO generation circuits required by the reception and
transmission of the WCDMA and GSM, and GPS reception. Three internal LO circuits are
available, and each circuit has the independent PLL, VCO, and distribution circuit. In addition,
an external filter circuit is used. These circuits use PM8930's XO input as the reference clock

The G740 uses the Qualcomm WCN3660 chip that integrates Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules.
In the G740, the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi share one antenna. The timeshare design in this solution
realizes the multiplexing of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions without any SP3T RF switches.
Figure 8-81 shows the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth circuit.

9 Troubleshooting Common Faults

Before you repair a G740, back up the user data and restore the phone to its factory settings.

9.1 Startup Failure


Most power-on failures are caused by power supply exceptions. Therefore, you can rectify
power-on failures by troubleshooting power supply circuit faults. Power-on failures are
divided into the following types:
 No current: After you connect the phone to the DC power supply and power on the
phone, the reading on the power supply ranges from 0 mA to 5 mA.
 Weak current: After you connect the phone to the DC power supply and power on the
phone, the reading on the power supply ranges from 5 mA to 100 mA.
 Excessive current: After you connect the phone to the DC power supply and power on
the phone, the reading on the power supply exceeds 300 mA.
If the G740 fails to be powered on, observe the power-on current reading on the DC
power supply to identify the fault.
 No current

G740 Maintenance Manual 9 Troubleshooting Common Faults

Figure 9-1 Troubleshooting procedure for startup failures with no current

This situation occurs when the main power circuit is short-circuited. Check whether VBUS and VSYS
circuits are short-circuited.
 Weak current

If the VPH_PWR voltage is normal, but the U201 output is not, the other output of U201 is probably
short-circuited, which results in the power output exception of the PMU. Check every output of the
U201 to see whether they are short-circuited.
 Excessive current
Excessive current is usually caused by short-circuited power supply circuits (DC power
supply) which may result in 500 mA or greater current. Mostly this fault occurs when VBAT
is short-circuited to ground.
