IMER
The hardware switch-off and Watchdog Timer are used to
power-down the mobile if the System Controller has lost
control for more than 8 seconds.
8.2.3.1
Watchdog Timer
After the reset signal RST is deactivated, the Watchdog
Timer starts to count. If the timer expires after 8 seconds,
the POWON output is set LOW. To prevent this occurring,
the System Controller must restart the timer periodically,
reading register HWCTRL_REG within 8 seconds after the
previous read operation. The Watchdog function is
enabled if DSPEN = TIMEN = LOW. The configuration
DSPEN = TIMEN = HIGH disables the Watchdog Timer.
All other settings are for debugging purposes.
8.2.3.2
OFF Timer
After the switch-off request (HWCTRL_INT activated via
LOWVOLT or ONKEY conditions), the OFF-Timer starts to
count. If the timer expires after 8 seconds, or if the System
Controller sets HWCTRL_REG[SWOFF] to a logic 1, the
POWON output is set LOW. The OFF-Timer cannot be
restarted with a read access to register HWCTRL_REG.
For some special purposes, e.g. if the battery charging
control is handled from the System Controller, the
OFF-Timer can be stopped after it was activated from
ONKEY or LOWVOLT. It then resumes its watchdog
function. The OFF-Timer is stopped with a write access to
register STOP_REG. The data value written to this register
has to be A5H. Other data values do not stop the
OFF-Timer.
It should be noted that:
The OFF/Watchdog Timer is not restarted after a stop
operation
If either the ONKEY or LOWVOLT line stays active after
a stop operation, it is again recognized after its 1 second
switch-off time-out or 62.5 ms debouncing period,
respectively.

Timing Generator
The Timing Generator provides TDMA timing and
power-down signals for the RF transmitter, RF receiver,
synthesizer and baseband interface IC.
The Timing Generator has three modes of operation to
control the mobile:
1.
Normal mode:
in this mode the mobile is fully active.
All ICs receive their operating voltage, the power
consumption is reduced by switching the ICs on and
off with their power-down inputs.
2.
Sleep or Idle mode:
in this mode the mobile is
switched on, but no call is active. The mobile will be
fully activated if a mobile originated call is requested
via the keyboard. Otherwise parts of the mobile are
activated from time to time to monitor incoming calls.
Outside these intervals all ICs can be switched off
under control of the PCF5083. In this mode the main
13 MHz clock is switched off. To maintain TDMA
timing alignment, the PCF5083 is running temporarily
on a slower clock frequency.
3.
Reduced Sleep mode:
this mode is equal to the
Sleep mode, except that the TDMA timing alignment is
maintained by the main 13 MHz clock.
In this chapter the following definitions are used:

1 Burst = 1 TS
The term frame refers to a TDMA frame throughout this
section unless otherwise stated.
The Timing Generator consists of:
The quarterbit counter (QBC) counting 5000 quarterbit
steps in one TDMA frame and running on 1.0833 MHz.
This clock is switched off during Sleep mode.
The Timing Generator (TG) with output polarity and
mask registers.
The sleep quarterbit counter (SQBC).
The Sleep mode timing generator.
