iPhone Wi-Fi circuit repairing

2

00:00:03,066 --> 00:00:10,000

This video mainly explains the working principle of the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max Wi-Fi circuits

3

00:00:10,533 --> 00:00:14,133

The working principles of these 3 models are the same

4

00:00:14,933 --> 00:00:17,200

Wi-Fi working principle step 1

5

00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:21,200

When the battery is buckled or the adjustable power supply is connected,

6

00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:24,933

the PP_VDD_MAIN main power supply will be generated

7

00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:28,966

The main power supply will first provide the working voltage for the Wi-Fi chip

8

00:00:29,766 --> 00:00:32,466

Step 2, after triggering the boot,

9

00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:38,166

the main power supply will output 1.8V power supply to provide working voltage for Wi-Fi

10

00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:44,833

Step 3, the main power supply outputs a 32KHz clock signal for the Wi-Fi chip

11

00:00:45,566 --> 00:00:51,033

Step 4, after the Wi-Fi chip has the previous power supply and clock signal,

12

00:00:51,433 --> 00:00:54,766

the internal power supply conversion module starts to work,

13

00:00:54,933 --> 00:00:59,766

and will convert 1.12V and 0.9V power supply for itself

14

00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,333

Step 5, when booting to the Wi-Fi circuit,

15

00:01:03,533 --> 00:01:07,366

the CPU first sends a wake-up signal to wake up the Wi-Fi chip

16

00:01:08,066 --> 00:01:13,866

Step 6, when the Wi-Fi chip has three-way power supplies, clock signal, and open signal,

17

00:01:14,066 --> 00:01:17,733

The CPU will detect the Wifi chip through the PCIE bus

18

00:01:18,233 --> 00:01:20,666

After the CPU detects the Wi-Fi chip,

19

00:01:20,933 --> 00:01:24,566

we can see the Wi-Fi address on the About This iPhone interface

20

00:01:25,966 --> 00:01:30,766

If there is no Wi-Fi address, it means that the CPU has not detected the Wi-Fi chip

21

00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:35,266

Step 7, after the Wi-Fi chip communicates with the CPU,

22

00:01:35,433 --> 00:01:40,133

the Wi-Fi chip can work normally, and the signal transceiver circuit is turned on

23

00:01:40,633 --> 00:01:47,933

In the transceiver circuit, 2.4G and 5G signals will all start working, search for router signals

24

00:01:48,533 --> 00:01:54,133

Step 8, the Wi-Fi chip sends the searched router signal to the CPU through the UART bus,

25

00:01:54,266 --> 00:01:56,866

and the router name will be displayed on the screen

26

00:01:58,366 --> 00:02:02,433

Step 9, when we select the router signal and enter the password,

27

00:02:02,866 --> 00:02:07,300

the CPU will send the password data to the Wi-Fi chip through the UART bus

28

00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:12,600

Step 10, the Wi-Fi chip sends the received password information to the router

29

00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,033

through the antenna signal for verification

30

00:02:15,766 --> 00:02:20,733

If the verification is successful, it will establish a connection with the mobile phone

31

00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:27,100

Step 11, the Wi-Fi chip sends the received data to the CPU through the PCIE bus

32

00:02:28,466 --> 00:02:32,433

At this time, the mobile phone realizes the Internet function

33

00:02:33,233 --> 00:02:38,633

The password verification channel or data transmission channel from Wi-Fi to the router is determined

34

00:02:38,633 --> 00:02:41,366

according to the selected router frequency band

35

00:02:41,633 --> 00:02:44,066

If the 5G frequency band is selected,

36

00:02:44,233 --> 00:02:48,700

the data and password verification will be connected to the router through the 5G line

37

00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,900

If you choose 2.4G frequency band,

38

00:02:52,133 --> 00:02:57,200

the data and password verification will be connected to the router through the 2.4G line

39

00:02:58,033 --> 00:03:02,100

The UART bus is the bus used by the baseband to transmit data

40

00:03:03,266 --> 00:03:07,433

For example, if the mobile phone turns on the hotspot function,

41

00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:11,200

it will use the signal of the baseband to Wi-Fi to transmit

42

00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:16,566

In the functional circuit diagram,

43

00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,166

the main working conditions of the Wi-Fi are shown on the left

44

00:03:20,533 --> 00:03:24,400

If one is damaged, it will cause the Wi-Fi to not turn on

45

00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:29,100

The right side of Wi-Fi is the signal transmission and receiving line

46

00:03:29,533 --> 00:03:34,933

If a problem occurs, the Wi-Fi signal cannot be searched or the Wi-Fi signal is weak

47

00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:37,500

Ok, that's all for this video
