Theory of Operation: ASTRO Spectra VOCON Board 3-29
During this process, the MCU does power diagnostics. These diagnostics include verifying the MCU
system RAM, and verifying the data stored in the internal EEPROM, external EEPROM, and FLASH
ROMs. The MCU queries the DSP for proper status and the results of DSP self tests. The DSP self
tests include testing the system RAM, verifying the program code in ROM U404, and returning the
ADSIC configuration register checksum. Any failures cause the appropriate error codes to be sent to
the display. If everything is OK, the appropriate radio state is configured and the unit waits for user
input.
On power-down, the user opens the radio on/off switch, removing the B+_SENSE signal from the
controller board. This does not immediately remove power, as the MCU holds this line active through
B+_CNTL. The MCU then saves pertinent radio status data to the external EEPROM. Once this is
done, B+_CNTL is released, shutting off SW_B+ at Q106 and shutting down the 5-Vdc regulator
U709. When the regulator slumps to about 4.7 Vdc, supervisory IC U726 activates a system reset to
the SLIC, which in turn resets the MCU.
3.3.14 VOCON Board Signals
Due to the nature of the schematic-generating program, signal names must be different when they
are not
directly connected to the same point. The following tables provide a cross-reference to the
various pinouts for the same functional signal.
