4-2 Controller Board
When low battery level is detected by the microprocessor through both conditions above, it will store
the radio personality data to EEPROM before turning off.
3.0 Controller Board
3.1 General
The controller board is the central interface between the various subsytems of the radio. It is
separated into digital and audio architectures. The digital portion consists of a special Motorola
microcontroller (HC11FL0). The audio power amplifier (Audio PA) and audio/signalling/filter/
companding IC (ASFIC_CMP) form the backbone of the audio/signalling architecture.
