CONTROL MODULE
MODEL CLN1465
1 DESCRIPTION
The CLN1465 Station Control Module (SCM) is described in this section. A general description, identification of controls,
indicators, and inputs/outputs, a functional block diagram, and functional theory of operation are provided. The information
provided is sufficient to give service personnel a functional understanding of the module, allowing maintenance and trouble-
shooting to the module level. (Refer also to the Maintenance and Troubleshooting section of this manual for detailed trou-
bleshooting procedures for all modules in the station.)
General Description
The SCM serves as the main controller of the station. The SCM contains an
MC68356 microprocessor which forms the heart of the module. This IC combines
a 68302 Integrated Multiprotocol Processor (IMP) with a 56002 Digital Signal
Processor (DSP) which, along with the support circuitry, provides signal process-
ing and operational control over the other station modules.

The following theory of operation describes the operation of the SCM at a functional level. The information is presented to
give the service technician a basic understanding of the functions performed by the module in order to facilitate maintenance
and troubleshooting to the module level. Refer to Figure 2 for a block diagram of the SCM supply voltage circuitry. Refer
to Figure 1 for a block diagram of the other sections of the SCM circuitry.
Host Microprocessor
General
The SCM utilizes an MC68356 Microprocessor which combines microprocessor
and DSP capabilities on a single device. The Host Microprocessor (μP) functions
of the SCM are performed by an MC68302 Integrated Multiprotocol Processor
(IMP) which is one part of the MC68356. This part serves as the main controller
for the SCM (and station), controlling the operation of the station as determined
by the station software and codeplug (both stored in a non-volatile Flash EPROM
device).
The μP is equipped with a 23-line address bus; only 18 lines are required to access
the non-volatile Flash memory, SRAM memory, and provide control (via memory
mapping) for Parallel I/O circuitry in the SCM. The Host μP operates in
MC68008 mode, providing an 8-bit data bus which (buffered for the Flash and
SRAM memory) is used to transfer data to/from the SCM memory, as well as Par-
allel I/O circuitry. The Host μP also provides the signals controlling the demulti-
plexers used to route various audio inputs/outputs in the Audio Processing
circuitry of the SCM.
Stations are shipped from the factory with generic default data programmed into
the codeplug portion of the Flash. Field programming is performed during instal-
lation using the RSS to enter additional customer-specific data, such as site output
power, time-out timer settings, etc.
SRAM Memory
Each SCM contains 256 Kbyte of SRAM which provides short-term storage for
data generated/required during normal operation.

Address Decoding
Host μP read and write operations are performed using the Host Address and Data
buses in conjunction with four programmable chip select lines from the internal
MC68356 chip select generators, CS0 to CS3, which are used in the following
manner.
• CS0 is used to control access to the Flash (EPROM) memory space. Since
the Flash device stores station control software, CS0 is also enabled after a
reset to access the boot ROM upon system start-up.
• CS1, CS2 are used to control access of up to two SRAM devices.
• CS3 is used to control access to the Parallel I/O circuitry (control signals and
SPI bus chip selects for station modules and external options).
The Serial I/O circuitry interfaces with two of the Serial Communications Inter-
face (SCI) ports (SCC1 and SCC2) on the Host μP to provide general-purpose se-
rial communications buses, as follows:
• SCC1 – this port is buffered to provide a high-speed Interprocessor Commu-
nications Bus, allowing the Host μP to communicate with optional modules
(via the backplane)
• SCC2 – serves as a serial RSS port. An 8-pin Telco connector is provided
on the front of the SCM to allow service personnel to connect a PC loaded
with the Radio Service Software (RSS) to the station, and perform program-
ming and maintenance tasks. EIA-232 Bus Receivers/Drivers interface the
connector to the SCC2 port.

Station Control Modules
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) I/O circuitry provides a SPI bus which is
used as a general-purpose communications bus to allow the Host μP to communi-
cate with other modules in the station. The SPI I/O circuitry also includes an A/
D converter which allows the Host μP to determine (via the SPI bus) the connect-
ed optional modules and other station characteristics.
The SCM is always configured as the SPI bus master, while other modules (Re-
ceiver, Exciter, PA, etc.) are configured as bus slaves. Two slave configurations
are possible:
• Basic slave – these are SPI-compatible ICs, located on the slave modules
(e.g., A/D and D/A converters, and frequency synthesizers).
• Intelligent slave – these are slave modules which contain a microprocessor
having a local SPI bus (e.g., intelligent equipment connected to the station
via the Systems connector on the backplane).
The CLN1465 SCM includes a phase-locked loop (PLL) IC. Higher stability is
achieved by phase-locking the CMAC Oscillator Circuitry to a 5/10 MHz external
reference source from an external high-stability oscillator, allowing the CMAC
Oscillator Circuitry to be automatically adjusted to this source (referred to as “au-
to-netting”).

Station Control Modules
A BNC connector (located on the front of the CLN1465) is provided to allow the
highly-stable external 5 /10 MHz source to be input to the OSCIN input of the PLL
Note to perform frequency netting. Refer to the Routine Maintenance section in this
manual for recommended intervals and procedures for netting the station refer-
ence.
General
The second half of the MC68356 contains a 56002 Digital Signal Processor
(DSP). All station transmit and receive audio/data is processed by the DSP and
related circuitry. This circuitry includes the DSP, the DSP ASIC, and the Audio
Processing circuitry. All audio signals input to or output from the DSP ASIC are
in digitized format. The digitized audio is transfered to/from various codec ICs in
the Audio Processing circuitry along corresponding serial buses (dependent on the
particular routing of an audio signal).

DSP ASIC
The DSP ASIC operates under control of the DSP to provide a number of func-
tions, as follows:
• Interfaces with the DSP via the DSP address and data buses and interrupt re-
quest lines
• Accepts 16.8 MHz signal from Station Reference circuitry and outputs a
2.1 MHz reference signal used throughout the station, and a 1.2 MHz pro-
cessor clock used by the MC68356 to generate the core clocks for the DSP
and Host μP.
• Provides serial interfaces for linear Codec #5 and PCM codecs
• Provides serial interface for programming custom IC on Receiver Module,
and accepts digitized data from custom IC via differential-to TTL converter
circuitry
• Provides Receiver Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) data ouput
General
The Audio Processing circuitry interfaces external analog audio inputs and out-
puts with the DSP circuitry. The CLN1465 uses two linear codec ICs (referred to
as Codec #1 and Codec #5) to handle wideband codec operation and the additional
signal line requirements of trunking operation. Since audio signals input to or out-
put from the DSP are in a digitized format, the codecs convert the audio signals
between analog and digital formats as required.
Microphone and MRTI audio signals are digitized by Codec #2 (p/o Audio Pro-
cessing Circuitry) before being sent to DSP ASIC via PCM Codec Bus
Speaker Audio
Speaker audio (to external speaker) is provided by codec #2. This signal is shared
with MRTI RX Audio. The MRTI level is set (via the RSS) to suit MRTI output
requirements. The adjustment is accomplished using a digital potentiometer
which is controlled by the Host μP (via the SPI bus).
When the station is configured for operation with a full-duplex MRTI unit (the de-
fault is half-duplex), MRTI TX Audio is not routed to the speaker to prevent echo
problems on the phone line. However, this also prevents use of the local micro-
phone input and external speaker for MRTI testing.
Since trunking and MRTI share the same backplane connector, they are mutually
Note exclusive.

Microphone
Microphone audio passes through preamp/bias generator circuitry to a switch
which selects mic or MRTI TX Audio, and routes the result to Codec #2. A sep-
arate path from the preamp output routes mic audio to the MRTI RX Audio output.
This allows mic audio to reach the MRTI output without appearing on the local
speaker. Gain in the mic audio paths is chosen to match the required MRTI levels.
Discriminator Audio
DISC RX Audio is generated by linear Codec #5. Normally it is a wideband RX
audio signal, available on the backplane for the system connector, the TCC con-
nector (as Trunk RX Data), and for any option cards. However, it has three other
functions as well:
• Under the influence of the Audio Mode input on the system connector, the
signal is changed to band-limited RX audio with optional de-emphasis and
squelch.
• In line test mode, Line 1 input audio from the Wireline Interface Board
(WIB) is routed to this output for level checking and test purposes.
Auxiliary TX Audio
The system connector input, Aux TX Audio, provides a path for audio from exter-
nal equipment to reach the transmitter without passing through the wireline. The
Audio Mode input switches it between wideband audio which is only splatter-fil-
tered, and audio which is band-limited and pre-emphasized before being splatter-
filtered. In either case, the audio reaches the DSP via codec #1. In line test mode,
this input is routed to the Line 2 output for level setting and test purposes. In ad-
dition, for special applications, the signal can be routed directly to the exciter (i.e.,
does not pass through the DSP). There is no adjustable gain required for this in-
put.

Station Control Modules
For the 8-wire model WIB, the line 3/4 pair are restricted to narrow-band audio,
and are converted to/from digital format by a PCM Codec on the WIB.
MRTI Audio
MRTI audio is handled by Codec #2. In most installations, the MRTI is a half
duplex device. This allows MRTI TX Audio to be routed to the local speaker (and
thus to the MRTI RX AUDIO line) without causing echo problems (since the
MRTI RX AUDIO line is muted in the MRTI). Gain in the MRTI paths is set by
station software.
Full duplex MRTI operation is available, with the limitation that MRTI TX Audio
does is not heard from the local speaker.
Trunking Audio
A trunking station can operate as either a control channel or a voice channel. In
either case, wideband audio is routed to/from the Trunking Central Controller
(TCC) as Trunk TX Data (through Codec #1) and Trunk RX Data (through Codec
#5), providing paths for control and status tones. For voice channel operation,
voice audio is routed to the WIB as described in the Wireline Audio section.
General
The Parallel I/O circuitry allows the Host μP to generate SPI bus chip selects and
to send/receive control signals to/from station modules and external options (via
the backplane).

08/06/07
Station Control Modules
Refer to the Backplane section of this manual for complete details on the input/
Note output signals which are routed to/from the backplane.
Input Circuitry
A buffer is provided to route serial station information (SERIAL ID IN) to the
Host μP from a serial ID device on the station backplane.
An octal buffer is used to allow various input control signals from optional station
circuitry (connected to the backplane) to be accepted and sent to the Host μP. This
includes input signals from MRTI and trunking equipment.
Output Circuitry
Two 1-of-16 demultiplexers are used to provide various SPI bus chip selects and
four octal D flip-flops provide control signals to be output to the SCM, the Receiv-
er and Exciter modules, and station circuitry (via the backplane). Control of the
demultiplexers and flip-flops comes via the Host Data bus and associated chip se-
lect signals from the Host μP.
The front panel Station Status indicator actually comprises two LEDs, one red
and one green, which produce a bicolor effect to indicate different informational
messages, depending on the particular LED(s) and duty cycle enabled. The result-
ing bicolor effect is achieved by locating the two LEDs adjacent to each other on
the SCM board and combining the light sources through a single light pipe to the
front panel.
Refer to the Station Operation section of this manual for complete details on the
Note interpretation of the LEDs.
The SCM contains on-board regulator and filtering circuitry to generate the vari-
ous operating voltages required by the SCM circuitry. The SCM routes +10 V and
+8 V from two regulators on the backplane to the Receiver and Exciter modules.

Station Control Modules
+14.2 V and +5V from the power supply (via the backplane) are used as sources
for the following supply voltage circuits:
• +15 V Regulator Circuitry – voltage doubler circuit accepts +14.2 V input
and feeds +15 V regulator to provide +15 V for the Receiver and Exciter
modules.
• +12 V Regulator Circuitry – accepts input from the +15 V regulator to gen-
erate the voltage required (under Host μP control) for powering the Flash
memory device during programming and erasing cycles.
• +5 V Regulator Circuitry – provides VCCA (analog +5 V) for the Audio
Processing circuitry in the SCM.
• Filtering Circuitry – filters the +14.2 V and +5 V from the power supply (via
backplane) to provide +14.2 V and VCC (digital +5 V) for the SCM digital
circuitry.
