iPhone Wi-Fi circuit repairing

2

00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,866

In this video we're going to learn about the terms commonly used in the iPhone Wi-Fi circuits

3

00:00:09,466 --> 00:00:14,733

After learning these terms, we can better understand the working principle of Wi-Fi circuits,

4

00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,300

and we can also find the signals in the circuit diagram more quickly

5

00:00:21,433 --> 00:00:26,366

In the schematic diagram, WLAN refers to the wireless local area network,

6

00:00:26,533 --> 00:00:28,133

which refers to the Wi-Fi chip

7

00:00:28,466 --> 00:00:34,433

The signal marked with WLAN in the schematic diagram indicates that the signal is a signal to the Wi-Fi chip

8

00:00:35,866 --> 00:00:37,633

BT stands for Bluetooth

9

00:00:38,566 --> 00:00:42,666

Because the iPhone Wi-Fi chip and Bluetooth chip are integrated together

10

00:00:43,733 --> 00:00:45,866

If the signal identifies BT,

11

00:00:46,333 --> 00:00:49,466

it means that the signal belongs to the Bluetooth signal

12

00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:52,933

RESET, reset signal

13

00:00:53,233 --> 00:00:55,433

REG_ON means open signal

14

00:00:56,633 --> 00:01:00,766

VIN_LDO refers to the voltage input of the voltage regulator,

15

00:01:00,933 --> 00:01:03,500

or the power supply input of small current

16

00:01:04,266 --> 00:01:07,666

DEVIC_WAKE refers to the device wake-up,

17

00:01:08,133 --> 00:01:10,400

WAKE is a wake-up signal

18

00:01:10,866 --> 00:01:14,000

UART is a universal asynchronous transceiver bus,

19

00:01:14,433 --> 00:01:16,233

mainly used to transmit data

20

00:01:17,266 --> 00:01:20,033

PCIE refers to a high-speed serial bus,

21

00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,166

which is also used to transmit Wi-Fi data

22

00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:26,500

TX stands for transmit signal,

23

00:01:27,366 --> 00:01:29,633

RX stands for receive signal

24

00:01:30,366 --> 00:01:35,000

The Wi-Fi signal transceiver circuit will use TX or RX to indicate

25

00:01:35,433 --> 00:01:38,366

SYNC stands for synchronization signal,

26

00:01:38,866 --> 00:01:40,733

ANT stands for antenna

27

00:01:41,866 --> 00:01:47,366

2G_ANT_CORE0 represents the upper antenna of the 2.4G frequency

28

00:01:49,266 --> 00:01:53,900

2G_ANT_CORE1 is the lower antenna of 2.4G frequency

29

00:01:55,133 --> 00:01:59,066

5G_ANT_CORE0 is the upper antenna of 5G

30

00:01:59,633 --> 00:02:03,433

5G_ANT_CORE1 is the lower antenna of 5G

31

00:02:04,166 --> 00:02:08,666

Because the iPhone has supported Wi-Fi signals in the 2.4G frequency band

32

00:02:08,666 --> 00:02:12,033

and the 5G frequency band since the 5th generation

33

00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:18,000

Therefore, there will be antenna receiving lines for two frequency band signals in the mainboard

34

00:02:18,733 --> 00:02:23,333

CLKREQ_L represents the clock interrupt or clock request

35

00:02:24,433 --> 00:02:27,600

Now, let's look at a few English terms in the schematic diagram

36

00:02:28,633 --> 00:02:32,066

For example, in the schematic diagram of iPhone 8P,

37

00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:38,633

PMU_TO_WLAN_CLK32K refers to the 32KHz clock signal of Wi-Fi

38

00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:44,600

PMU_TO_WLAN_REG_ON refers to the power on signal to Wi-Fi

39

00:02:46,566 --> 00:02:49,733

Let's take a look at the Wi-Fi circuit of the iPhone XS

40

00:02:51,033 --> 00:02:56,300

5GHZ_TX_C0 represents the transmission signal of the antenna on 5G

41

00:02:57,166 --> 00:03:02,200

5GHZ_RX_C0 represents the receiving signal of the antenna on 5G

42

00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,466

5GHZ_TX_C1 represents the transmission signal of the antenna under 5G

43

00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:14,466

5GHZ_RX_C1 represents the receiving signal of the antenna under 5G

44

00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:22,500

For example, 11 Pro Max model, 2G_ANT_C0 means 2.4G upper antenna

45

00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,033

2G_ANT_C1 stands for 2.4G lower antenna

46

00:03:28,566 --> 00:03:31,600

Another example is in the iPhone 12 Wi-Fi circuit,

47

00:03:32,233 --> 00:03:37,333

PMU_TO_WLAN_REG_ON refers to the power-on signal to Wi-Fi

48

00:03:37,966 --> 00:03:43,766

PMU_FROM_WLAN_HOST_WAKE represents the wake-up signal from Wi-Fi to the power supply

49

00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:51,900

In the iPhone schematic diagram, these terms are almost universal and can be applied in every schematic diagram

50

00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:55,833

Ok, that's all for this video
