N900 Hardware Chipset

The chip known as 'Gaia' in the schematics is the companion chip to the processor.

Hardware

The TWL5030B, see [1] aka TPS65950) has USB PHY, power management and audio codec.

A datasheet for the TIs TPS65950 is at TIs website.


The USB PHY isn't used and is handled by the nxp1707a [2] See more information on USB

It seems to be documented - not under this part number - at

The TPS65950 contains;

  • Power management
    • Several regulators - switched mode and LDO.
  • Audio codec
    • Five DACs, two ADCs
    • Several power amplifiers.
    • Microphone amplifiers
  • USB transceiver
    • Highspeed OTG compatible with integrated charge pump, and carkit support, designed for direct connection to the CPU. (not used in N900)
  • an ac/USB charger
  • LED drivers
  • ADC
    • ADC can measure both input voltages to device, or voltages connected externally.
  • RTC
  • GPIO
    • This can support switches, keypads, ...

Connections

It is connected to the I2C bus.
