iPhone Wi-Fi circuit repairing

2

00:00:02,933 --> 00:00:09,633

This video mainly explains the working principle of the iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 ProMax Wi-Fi circuit

3

00:00:11,066 --> 00:00:14,600

The working principles of these 3 models are the same

4

00:00:15,466 --> 00:00:17,666

Wi-Fi working principle step 1

5

00:00:18,066 --> 00:00:21,866

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

6

00:00:22,066 --> 00:00:25,500

the PP_VDD_MAIN main power supply will be generated

7

00:00:25,666 --> 00:00:29,633

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

8

00:00:30,366 --> 00:00:32,933

Step 2, after triggering the boot,

9

00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:39,066

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

10

00:00:39,866 --> 00:00:45,866

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

11

00:00:47,866 --> 00:00:53,000

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

12

00:00:53,333 --> 00:00:56,633

the internal power supply conversion module starts to work,

13

00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,333

and will convert 0.72V and 1.02V power supply for itself

14

00:01:03,033 --> 00:01:06,366

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

15

00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:10,300

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

16

00:01:10,966 --> 00:01:16,800

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

17

00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,700

The CPU will detect the Wifi chip through the PCIE bus

18

00:01:21,066 --> 00:01:23,600

After the CPU detects the Wi-Fi chip,

19

00:01:23,866 --> 00:01:27,666

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

20

00:01:30,966 --> 00:01:32,833

If there is no Wi-Fi address,

21

00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,266

it means that the CPU has not detected the Wi-Fi chip

22

00:01:37,533 --> 00:01:41,766

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

23

00:01:42,366 --> 00:01:47,200

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

24

00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:55,133

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

25

00:01:55,500 --> 00:02:01,066

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

26

00:02:01,533 --> 00:02:04,233

and the router name will be displayed on the screen

27

00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,700

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

28

00:02:11,033 --> 00:02:15,466

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

29

00:02:16,133 --> 00:02:20,700

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

30

00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:23,333

through the antenna signal for verification

31

00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:29,266

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

32

00:02:29,566 --> 00:02:35,366

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

33

00:02:37,900 --> 00:02:41,800

At this time, the mobile phone realizes the Internet function

34

00:02:43,633 --> 00:02:49,066

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

35

00:02:49,066 --> 00:02:51,833

according to the selected router frequency band

36

00:02:54,866 --> 00:02:57,700

If you choose 2.4G frequency band,

37

00:02:57,866 --> 00:03:03,033

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

38

00:03:03,933 --> 00:03:06,633

If the 5G frequency band is selected,

39

00:03:06,966 --> 00:03:11,533

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

40

00:03:12,266 --> 00:03:16,500

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

41

00:03:18,933 --> 00:03:23,100

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

42

00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:26,966

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

43

00:03:30,833 --> 00:03:33,033

In the functional circuit diagram,

44

00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,566

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

45

00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,666

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

46

00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,100

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

47

00:03:45,333 --> 00:03:51,000

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

48

00:03:51,933 --> 00:03:53,900

Ok, that's all for this video
