NOKIA BB5, BB5+ EMI / ESD FILTER IC’S CONFIGURATION AND MODIFICATION WITH TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES AND TRICKS..

Q: What is a crystal IC?
A: A Crystal IC is a small chips designed by Engineers to protect mobile phone devices, so that it cannot be damage by these this two harmful thing in Electronic circuits especially mobile phones..

I'm talking about these two elements here>>

Here's what I'm talking about....

Electromagnetic interference (or EMI, also called radio frequency interference or RFI) is a disturbance that affects an electrical circuit due to either electromagnetic conduction or electromagnetic radiation emitted from an external source. [1] The disturbance may interrupt, obstruct, or otherwise degrade or limit the effective performance of the circuit. The source may be any object, artificial or natural, that carries rapidly changing electrical currents, such as an electrical circuit, the Sun or the Northern Lights.
EMI can be intentionally used for radio jamming, as in some forms of electronic warfare, or can occur unintentionally, as a result of spurious emissions for example through intermodulation products, and the like. It frequently affects the reception of AM radio in urban areas. It can also affect cell phone, FM radio and television reception, although to a lesser extent.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two objects at different electrical potentials caused by direct contact or induced by an electrostatic field. [1] The term is usually used in the electronics and other industries to describe momentary unwanted currents that may cause damage to electronic equipment.
ESD is a serious issue in solid state electronics, such as integrated circuits. Integrated circuits are made from semiconductor materials such as silicon and insulating materials such as silicon dioxide. Either of these materials can suffer permanent damage when subjected to high voltages, as a result there are now a number of antistatic devices that help prevent static build up.

Here's an Example picture of this tiny Chips...
this tiny chips were most commonly damaged in terms of...
a. display problems
b. keypad problems
c. microphone / audio problem
d. sim-card problem
e. memory card problem

advisory some languges used in the images were Tagalog (Philippines Language) please be advice just please use google translator.

Now here's where it is being used in Nokia circuit...

Now, Lets explore them one by one...

EMIF01-SMIC01 - used in bb5 phones that also uses RETU 3.02 Power IC like N70 and etc.
I’m talking about this IC below.

http://img32.picoodle.com/img/img32/...1m_0a9af78.jpg

here's the bump configuration...

http://img27.picoodle.com/img/img27/...3m_36fa9ce.jpg

This is how it works:

* when making a call, a voltage or current from RETU IC terminal H1 will draw the line of R2101(resistor) to IC terminal A2 to supply the microphone’s b+ terminal.
* once the supply voltage is entered, the microphone is now on active state., once in active state. The microphone reacts into a high fidelity level, in short, meaning, it’s sensitive to catch audible sounds. But, this circuit was designed to enduced noise
* when a sounds is catch up, the microphone now then feeds back the audible sounds to RETU IC terminal K1(+) and J3 (-) to amplify it and feed to RF during transmission.
* it works like a mic pre-amp(pre-amplifier)

A microphone preamp is a preamplifier used to amplify a microphone's low output voltage to a stronger, more usable level. A microphone preamp must provide stable gain for small signals without being sensitive to induced noise from cabling and without distorting large amplitude signals.Most microphones must be used in conjunction with a microphone preamp to function properly.

Q: can we check this IC if suspected went wrong or damaged?
A: Yes. If you're that so keen... like me..

Follow the procedures below:

1.1. Remove the IC . Set your Multitester to X1k, connect the probe sa A2 at C3. here you are about to check the voltage supply line to the positive of MIC terminal. Normal reading in this area is 2.3k (+/-).
Without reading here, the IC is open or faulty…

2. connect the probe sa B1 at C3, normal resistance reading here is 2.2k

(+/-) Without reading here the IC is open or faulty.

3. connect the probe sa C1 at C3, normal resistance reading here is 4.5k (+/-).
Without reading here the IC is open or faulty.
4. now, set the multitester to X1 and check the grounding terminals from B2,B3 and C2 to terminal A2 B+ line
B1 at C3. there should be no reading happens here, if there is. it indicates the IC is shorted or busted...
