Design – Power Protection
For MT6225

Because VBAT is directly applied, battery voltage protection should be applied:

Design notice in Phone side:
1. Add 22uF capacitor.
2. Add Zener diode (5.6V) to protect the IC against low frequency voltage surge. Put it
between battery connector and MT6612.
Notice: If using IO connector or test point to supply VBAT for download, manufacture, or
repair, should let VBAT trace passing zener diode and 22uF capacitor before entering IC.
Notice: Using 5.6V zener will introduce some leakage when VBAT = 4.2V.
ex. 5.6V zener CZRU52C5V6, will have extra 5uA leakage.
•Design notice in Power Supply side:
Add 1000uF (or above) capacitor at the output of the power supply to reduce the voltage
bounce caused by long power cable. And the power cable should be as short as possible.
Also add 1000uF (or above) capacitor at the end of power cable (near phone side).
Baseband GPIO Assignment for MT6612 (1/2)
■ BT/Baseband Interface assignment
– In the BT/BB interface assign phase, the GPIO should be arranged carefully.
Do not use GPIO with conflict power domain (for example, camera power
domain).

Reference Layout (1/3)
▪ RF/Analog part:
– Using qualified balance filter, need no external matching network.
– Balance port routing should be symmetrical and shorter than 2mm,
while the single-end trace route should keep 50Ω.
– Keep out the ground area of crystal.

50Ohm

Symmetrical and
Smaller than 2mm
Reference Layout (2/3)
▪ Power rail part:
– Low cost through-hole process can be adopted.
– Make star-connection at C23 for 2.8V power trace. Also, star-
connected at C51 for 1.2V trace route.
– Provide complete ground for power traces, do not route power traces
in parallel with or crossing to digital or strong disturbance signals.

Reference Layout (3/3)

▪ Digital part:
– The 32k trace MUST be shielded by ground along the routing. DO
NOT place any other trace along with it.
– 26MHz trace should be shielded by ground from BT to GSM BB and
RF when co-clock mechanism is employed. (detailed please refer to
MT6612 co-clock application note)
– DO NOT let strong disturbance signal trace across or parallel to BT
digital line, especially for BT_URXD3, BT_UTXD3, PCMCLK,
PCMSYNC, PCMIN, PCMOUT.
BT Antenna Design and Placement
▪ Place the BT antenna at the corner of the PCB.
▪ The feed point is directly connected to the antenna.
▪ Reserve enough distance between the antenna, ground and the shielding case.
▪ Ground blue screw holes, and don’t ground red screw holes.
