Mobile Phone Parts Name List and Their Function

(Mobile Phone parts name list with pictures)


1. Mobile phone Battery
Mobile phone Battery Lithium ion batteries are considered to be one of the best batteries used in
mobile phones. Currently, such batteries are widely used. Such batteries have low self-
discharging ratio and can be used for longer than other batteries and weigh less. If the working
capacity of the batteries decreases, it should be fully discharged and recharged. Lithium ion is
the most common battery because it can store the most energy in the smallest space. That’s
measured in terms of specific energy density, which refers to how much energy, in Watt-hours, a
kilogram of battery could hold. For lithium ion, the figure can be between 150 and 250 Wh/kg,
while a nickel metal hydride (or NiMH) battery can hold about 100 Wh/kg. In other words,
lithium ion batteries are smaller and lighter than other types, and that means smaller devices with
longer battery life. Some of the above batteries have three pins and some have four pins. If there
are three PINs, Positive, BSI and Negative. BSI-Battery Standard Identification BTEMP-Battery
Temperature Management BSI: The PIN is placed on the mobile phone to identify the resistance
inside the battery and the type of battery and the charging sensor. Btemp: The pin is placed to
manage the temperature of the battery. The TDR (thermistor) is placed inside the battery of the
mobile phone. Since this Btemp pin of the battery is directly connected to the power IC, the
supply from the battery becomes the thermistor. So the voltage is calculated by the power IC and
the temperature of the battery is obtained. This PIN is not found in all mobile phone batteries.

B
attery capacity The capacity of a battery is measured in milliampere-hours (or mAh), which
indicates how much energy the battery can deliver over time. For instance, if a battery has a
rating of 1000 mAh, it could deliver 1000 milliamps of power for 1 hour. If your device uses 500
milliamps of power, the battery should last about 2 hours. The maximum voltage, ampere, watts
it can give to all the batteries used in the mobile phone is written on the battery as shown in the
picture below. The voltage in the battery of a mobile phone ranges from 3.7 to a maximum of 4.8
but the ampere may vary. The more amperes written on the battery, the more backup you can

give.

2. Mobile phone Housing


The outer shell for the protection of all the parts inside the mobile phone is called housing. The
design and color may vary according to the housing mobile phone set. The housing of some of
the mobile phone sets in our market is available in the market. If it is broken or discolored, a new
change can be made. The main part of phone housing is made of polycarbonate, and the metallic
one is made of aluminum. Nowadays, among all the plastic stuff on the shelfs, metallic phone
housings are more noticeable. Usually, aluminum and magnesium are used for housings.
Aluminum is very solid and light, but it is difficult to make the needed shapes and details.
Magnesium alloys are comparatively good in molding, but comparing to aluminum alloys,
magnesium ones are not corrosion resistant and require painting. 3. Mobile phone Touchpad
An electronic visual display that the user can easily control with the finger of his hand is called a
touch pad. Apart from mobile phones, touch pads are also used in computer monitors, laptops
and gaming devices. There are many types of touch pads. The touch pad currently used in smart
phones is very responsive, so it works at the slightest touch. Indium tin oxide coding is done
without layers (insulators) in such touch pad glass. The touch pad contains several layers of
material. The top layer is the pad that you touch. Beneath it are layers (separated by very thin
insulation) containing horizontal and vertical rows of electrodes that form a grid. Beneath these
layers is a circuit board to which the electrode layers are connected. The layers with electrodes
are charged with a constant alternating current. As the finger approaches the electrode grid, the
current is interrupted and the interruption is detected by the circuit board. The initial location
where the finger touches the pad is registered so that subsequent finger movement will be related
to that initial point.

4. Mobile phone Display


The mobile phone display is really like a computer monitor. The display of the mobile phone is
considered an important part because the CPU sends all the data in the mobile phone to the
display as per the order given on the keypad or touch pad, including the level of the antenna
tower, battery level, phone numbers, photos, mobile phone menu. Nowadays, most expensive
multimedia sets use high resolution displays. The display used in mobile phones can be of the
following types. The display, when combined with the touch element, is ‘the’ major element of
the user interface and as such we go to great lengths when testing screens during our review
process to measure a displays quality by measuring Contrast Ratio, Color Calibration, Brightness
and Sunlight [Link] : liquid crystal display technology A liquid crystal display is the
most common
display type
among mobile
phones because
of its low power
consumption and
good image
quality. They are
generally easy to
read, even under
direct
[Link] smallest element of an image displayed on a LCD is the pixel. Each pixel normally
consists of a layer of molecules aligned between two transparent electrodes, and two polarizing
filters.
LED- light emitting diodes technology A semiconductor LED diode that emits light when
charged with electricity. They come in diverse colors and some LEDs even contain multiple
elements and are therefore capable of emitting light with different colors.
TFT:Thin Film Transistor technology TFT technology is an active-matrix technology,
meaning that a tiny circuit (a transistor) is located next to each pixel, allowing the pixel to be
turned on and off individually. This permits faster response time and greater contrast compared
to passive-matrix technology.
OLED:Organic Light Emitting Diode technology The term OLED is actually an acronym, and
stands for organic light-emitting diode. For the unaware, a light-emitting diode is basically just a
light source, and they’re used widely in electronics. But OLED is different because of the
organic part. In an organic diode, there’s a thin film of organic compound that emits light when
you pass an electric current through it.
IPS:In-Place Switching technology (IPS-In-Plane Switching panel) An active matrix LCD
screen technology developed by Hitachi in the mid-1990s that provides more uniform color
reproduction and greater viewing angles than traditional twisted nematic (TN) LCDs. Maturing
for more than a decade, IPS was deployed in tab phone and various smart phones. Viewers
appreciate the wide angle and color quality, because tablets are widely used as movie players and
photo albums.
AMOLED/Super AMOLED: Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode technology
AMOLED display :When compared with a regular LCD display an AMOLED display consumes
less power, provides more vivid picture quality, and renders faster motion response as compared
to other display technologies such as LCD. However,
Super AMOLED display : It consists of a set of thin film layers of electroluminescent power-
producing organic compounds and a pixel-modulating matrix. Super AMOLED is a more
advanced version and it integrates touch-sensors and the actual screen in a single layer.
POLED/PMOLED: Plastic Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode (Flexible
display) POLED display: or Plastic Light Emitting Diode, is a display technology that uses a
flexible plastic substrate such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) instead of glass for the
electroluminescent organic semiconductor to be deposited. The use of more malleable plastic
instead of glass allows the display panel to be bent, folded or rolled up without breakage.
PMOLED dispaly:Passive Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode (PMOLED) displays drive a
row of pixels in the display, rather than individual pixels like AMOLED. PMOLED is cheaper to
make than AMOLED, but have a restricted resolution and are not as power efficient as
AMOLED, which makes PMOLED a weak candidate for high-resolution smartphone screens.
PMOLED screens light up one row of pixels at a time, turning off the line as it moves to light the
next row. Thus, if there are 100 lines in a PMOLED display, each line of the display is energized
1/100th of the time. This limits the size of the PMOLED display to a maximum of 5 inches with
today’s technology.
The display of mobile phones has different layers as shown in the picture below.

5. Mobile phone PCB-Printed Circuit Board-Motherboard)


When you open the housing of the mobile phone, you will see a board with all the components
connected as shown below. This board is called PCB (Motherboard). This motherboard is the
most important part of a mobile phone. Motherboard is commonly exist in Electronics devices
and mobile phones. Since it contains of a variety of metals and semiconductors, it is difficult to
recover the materials in PCB. The latest smartphones available on the market today, researchers
and engineers are constantly developing new ways to make our phones smaller, faster and more
efficient. Due to the increase in capabilities of Motherboard, Motherboard have gotten smaller in
size and more powerful. This lets manufacturers put more components in a smaller amount of
space to deliver all of the features. Circuit-tracing is a term used by mobile phone repair
technicians to check broken tracks on the PCB (Motherboard). Many of the times problems come
in cell phones, if the tracks get broken. These tracks are not visible as they are drawn inside the
circuit boards. Most of these motherboards have 7-10 layers which have tracks/lines going from
one end to another for supply of voltage and signals.

6. Mobile phone Antenna Pad


A steel plate / leaf is placed on top of the mobile phone set. This is called antenna pad. In most
mobile phones, the antenna pad is placed at the top, but in some sets it may be placed at the
bottom. In the beginning, the mobile phone sets that came in the market used to have aerial
instead of such a plate, but now there is no aerial in the mobile phone sets available in the
market. Both the incoming and outgoing signals from the mobile phone set come and go through
this antenna pad. This plate is well integrated with the motherboard.

7. Mobile phone Flex cable


The flexible cable used to connect two PCBs of a mobile phone is called a flex cable. The texture
of this cable may vary according to the mobile phone set. Flex cables are designed to fit onto a
motherboard, usually by connecting onto a socket. These sockets are made up of tiny pins which
when correctly aligned, sit flush into place and create a connection between the flex and the
motherboard, allowing the flex to draw power and start it’s designed function. Just like the
texture of something is shown below.

8. Mobile phone Microphone(Analog & Digital)


The microphone receives the sound waves we speak and converts them into electrical waves.
The microphone is placed at the bottom of the mobile phone set. Inside the microphone is a
diagram (a sheet of shiny thin plastic) that shakes as we speak. When we move in and out in this
way, a kind of electric wave is generated and our sound wave enters. There are two types of
microphones used in mobile phone sets.
A. Mobile phone Ordinary microphone(Electret Microphone) An Ordinary or electret
microphone is a type of condenser microphone that has a permanently-polarized [Link]
capsule, which acts as a parallel-plate capacitor, is charged via a quasi-permanent electret
material that is applied to either the front plate (diaphragm) or stationary backplate. With a
permanent charge across the plates, any change in capacitance in the electret condenser capsule
creates an inversely proportional change in voltage across the plates. Ordinary mobile phones use
a two-pin microphone as shown in the picture below.

B.
Mobile phone Digital microphone(Mems Microphone) A MEMS Microphone(micro-
electromechanical systems) mic is a pressure-sensitive diaphragm etched into a silicon wafer via
MEMS processing. MEMS mics are largely based on electret capsules and typically have
onboard preamps and analog-to-digital converters. MEMS mics are also known as digital
mic,mic chips or silicon mics. A digital microphone MEMS design will typically have an
additional metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) chip that acts as an analog-to-digital converter.
These chips effectively take the amplified analog audio signals and convert them into digital
data. These ADCs allow digital MEMS microphones to be more easily integrated with digital
products. Of all the smart mobile phone sets coming in the market today, digital microphone is
the most used. This microphone has three,four or five pins as shown in the picture below.

9. Mobile phone Speaker(Ear & Ringer)


The speaker converts electrical waves into sound waves. The speakers used in mobile phones are
very small in size. The inner structure of the speaker has a permanent magnet ring with a
temporary metal in the middle and a coil between the metal and the permanent magnet. There is
also a plastic cone on top of the coil and the outer metal body. When an electrical signal with
voltage is given to this speaker, the coil inside it shakes. When a signal in the form of AC flows
through the coil, there is a variable magnetic shock.
T
here are two types of speakers use in a mobile phone.
A. Air speaker
B. Ringer speaker (handsfree)
The air speaker is a bit smaller in size than the ringer speaker. The exterior design of the speaker
is as shown below.
10. Mobile phone Camera
Cameras are devices used to record video to take photos on mobiles. Such cameras are placed in
different megapixels according to the capacity of the mobile phone. The more megapixels the
camera has, the more light this lens can capture even in low light. There are generally six types
of camera available today, namely your standard main camera, ultra-wide camera, telephoto or
periscope zoom camera, macro camera, monochrome camera, and depth sensor camera.
11. Mobile phone Vibrator
The vibrator used in mobile phones is like a small motor. It rotates when the supply voltage is
given, thus vibrating the mobile phone. The IC that controls the vibrator switches on and off the
supply voltage for a while. When the voltage is given in this way, it turns on and off for a while.
The structure of the vibrator is as shown below.

12. Mobile phone Charging pad/charging flex


Some mobile phones have a charging connector as shown in the picture below. This address is
called (Charging Flex). When it comes to charging problems in mobile phones, this address is
the worst.

What are the chip components of a smartphone?


The Motherboard of a mobile phone has several small parts or electronic components. When
learning mobile repairing, it is important to learn and understand how to identity these small smd
parts or electronic components and understand their function. Identification of these small smd
parts on the PCB of a mobile phone is easy if you know and understand some of the basic rules.
It is also important to understand what to do if any of these small components is [Link] of
these electronic components are SMD (Surface Mount Devices). They don’t have any leads like
thru-hole electronic components. [Link] [Link] [Link] (Coil) [Link] [Link]

Mobile Phone chip components Name and Their Function
Mobile Phone components are the electronic function parts, which are soldered to the circuit
board by surface mount technology. There are many types of SMD components, and each type is
packaged in different forms, which results in the huge SMD components library. According to
the function of SMD Mobile Phone components, they can be classified as follows, the letters in
brackets represent their identification on the [Link] is the external dimensions of the mobile
phone parts. With the development of SMT technology, the industry has formed a series of
standard parts for convenient operation, all parts suppliers are manufactured according to this
[Link] of mobile phone small components/parts. [Link] Chip/SMT/ SMD resistors are
rectangular in shape and as a result they are often known as chip resistors. They have metallised
areas at either end of the main ceramic body, and in this way they can be set onto a printed
circuit board that has pads onto which the two ends are set to provide the connection. There are
four types of resistor used in mobile phones.
1. Value Printed Resistors
2. Non Value Printed Resistors
3. Fuseable Resistors
4. Voltage Dependent Resistors (VDR)

Fu
nction of Resistor [Link] Printed Resistor [Link] Value Printed Resistor Although the external
structure of the two resistors above is different, the work is the same. It will pass forward by
blocking voltage and current according to its capacity. It is emitted from one leg of the resistor
by giving voltage to the other leg. Such as:

c.F
useable Resistor The function of a fuseable resistor is similar to that of a fuse. Being a fuseable
resistor, it works to protect other items even if it burns in case of high voltage flow or short
voltage in front. If there is a short in the front part, this resistor will break itself and open the
circuit. [Link] (Voltage Dependent Register) This register is kept for security. It stops more
when the voltage is high and less if the voltage is low. How much voltage it stops depends on the
voltage it receives, so it is called Voltage Dependent Register. [Link] SMD Capacitor is an
electronic component made up of an insulator between two conductors. They are small, leadless
and can be placed onto modern printed circuit boards using pick and place machines used in
modern manufacturing. The comparisons between the the different types of capacitor is generally
made with regards to the dielectric used between the plates. There are two types of capacitor
used in mobile phones.
1. Polar Capacitor
2. Non Polar Capacitor

Function of Capacitor A, Polar Capacitor The function of this polar capacitor is to filter the DC
current. It also accumulates voltage in the polar capacitor according to its capacity. [Link] Polar
Capacitor This capacitor filters the signal according to its capacity. It passes the AC current
lightly and stops the DC current completely. [Link] (Coil) Surface Mount Inductors offer
small size, and if designed on a toroidal core less leakage inductance and lower electromagnetic
interference (EMI). SMD inductors are passive components that are placed during surface mount
manufacturing processing. They are positive reactance devices, available in many sizes and form
factors optimized for particular applications. Inductors are also used to destroy or ground
unnecessary signals. If the inductor is measured in units of Henry it is indicated by the wind.
There are four types of inductors used in mobile phones.
1. Visible coil
2. Single color
3. Dual color coil
4. Boost coil/Power coil

Function of Coil [Link] Coil [Link] Color Coil [Link] Core Coil Although the exterior
textures of the three coils above are different, the work is almost the same. Such coils are used to
soften the sound in the way of speakers and microphones in mobile phones. This gives the audio
signal a slight delay, so the sound is sweet. Iron is kept inside the Iron Core Coil so it can be
used to filter DC current as well as audio signal. [Link] Coil Boost Coil works to increase the
voltage according to its capacity. [Link] Diode is generally made of germanium or silicon
semiconductor. The semiconductor diode is a widely used electronics component found in many
electronic circuit designs today. Although there are many different types of diode which use the
same basic structure of an area of p-type material meeting an area of n-type material. There are
four types of diode used in mobile phones.
1. Single rectifier diode
2. Four pack up rectifier diode
3. Zener diode and TVS Diode
4. Light emitting diode (led)

Fu
nction of Diode [Link] Rectifier Diode(Two Legs) [Link] Packup Diode(Five Legs) The work
of the two diodes above is the same, only its appearance is different. Its job is to convert AC
current to DC and prevent reverse voltage. Reverse Voltage means Negative (-) Voltage instead
of Positive () or Positive (-) Voltage instead of Negative (-). [Link] Diode / TVS Diode The
exterior design of these two diodes looks the same but two Zener Diodes are packed inside the
TVS Diode. The Zener diode passes as much voltage as its voltage. This diode can be used in
Parallel or Series. [Link] (Light Emitting Diode) This diode is a light that is placed on the
keypad and display of a mobile phone to illuminate it. [Link] Inside the crystal are two sheets
of quartz. Given its supply voltage, it produces a mechanical vibration and a certain frequency.
Crystals that produce such fixed frequencies have different values. There are two main types of
crystals used in mobile phones. There are two types of crystal used in mobile phones.
1. Reference crystal (RF)
2. Real time clock (RTC)

Function of Crystel [Link] Crystal The frequency produced by RF Crystal is called CLK
Frequency. The frequency it produces is used to carry various information and signals. The body
outside the RF crystal is written as the frequency it produces. [Link] (Real Time Clock) The
CLK Frequency produced by RTC is used to run Time on mobile phones.
[Link](Bypolar & Mosfet)
A three terminal semiconductor electronic device is called transistor. Transistors are widely used
in electronic appliances such as mobile phone,tablet phone,computers,laptop, radio,audio video
equipment..etc.A transistor is a three layer semiconductor which consist a very thin central layer
of one type of semiconductor material sandwiched between two relatively thick layer of second
type. There are two types of transistor(bipor n mosfet) used in mobile phones. [Link] amplify the
signal The function of the transistor to amplify the signal is to amplify the small input signal.
Such transistors are widely used in electronics other than mobile phones. When transistors
amplify any signal, they only increase the amplitude of the signal and do not make any
difference to the wavelength of the signal. The signal input of the signal amplifier transistor is
always given from the base pin. [Link] voltage The base pin of the three pins of such a
transistor is given the biasing voltage to operate it. So the bias is received by the base pin of this
transistor and current flows between the collector and emitter of the transistor. In this way, when
the current flows in the collector and emitter, any goods in the other part can be irradiated. [Link]
regulate voltage The fluctuating current and voltage cannot be given directly to any sensitive
ICs. Given such an unequal voltage, the IC will not be able to work well and will deteriorate
quickly. Therefore, the act of generating current and voltage in the same way is called regulator.
A regulator transistor is used to generate such a current or voltage.
The transistors used in mobile phones are of the following types.
[Link] transistor that regulates voltage The bipolar transistor that regulates voltage is black
with one large leg on the upper side and three small legs on the lower side. This type of transistor
is placed in the way of charging on some mobile phones and tab phones to regulate the voltage.
This transistor is not used in the smart sets coming in the market today. This regulator is a
bipolar transistor that regulates.

[Link] switching bipolar transistor The voltage switching bipolar transistor has three legs in
black. This transistor has one leg on the upper side and two legs on the lower side. A transistor
placed for voltage switching is called a switching transistor. The external structure of this
transistor is as shown in the figure below.

[Link] transistor A transistor made of one of the semiconductors of P / N is called a mosfet


transistor. The MOSFET transistor that regulates voltage is black with 6 or 8 legs. This type of
mosfet is used to give the battery a voltage regulator in the way of charging the goods like
Chinese Mobile Phone, Tablet Phone, Mp3, Mp4 Player, PSP. The exterior texture of this mosfet
is rectangular in shape as shown below.

Function of Transistor [Link] regulator Transistor The process of regulating Unregulate


Voltage is called Voltage Regulator. The voltage regulator transistor works to equalize the
voltage. [Link] Switching Transistor Giving voltage only when needed is called voltage
switching. Switching is the transistor that is kept for the day by switching only when the voltage
is needed. Use Bipolar or Mosfet any transistor to give by switching voltage.
What is the difference between Bipolar Transistor and Mosfet Transistor? Any Bipolar or
Mosfet Transistor can be used to regulate the voltage. The Mosfet Transistor has the ability to
operate at a much faster speed without heat than the Bipolar Transistor, so the Mosfet is
considered better than the Bipolar.
[Link] Pass Filter
Band pass filters are installed on mobile phones near network ICs. It filters the signal from the
antenna and separates it according to the band. In mobile phone sets such filters are found to be
used for three types of GSM, DCS and PCS band on the way to and from (RX,TX). The signal
and Shape of the band pass filters is as shown below.

[Link]/OFF Switch The switch used to turn the mobile phone set on and off is called on and off.
We press and release such switches for some time. When the switch is pressed in this way, the
ground given in one pin of the switch is connected to the other pin and reaches the power IC.

[Link] Antenna Socket A socket placed on a mobile phone to connect a separate antenna
from the outside is called an external antenna socket. This socket has four or five legs in yellow
color.

10.
Wi-Fi oscillator
The Wi-Fi oscillator is to generate the required frequency of Wi-Fi IC. It is located near Wi-Fi
IC. Most mobile phones have a Wi-Fi oscillator like RF Crystal.
[Link]
The inner structure of the coupler is like a transformer. The exterior of such couplers is usually
white, green or sky blue and is lightly marked with gray. The coupler of the coupler is found to
be used for coupling any two signals or frequencies in the mobile phone.

[Link] filters
EMI filters are also called EMI suppression filters or display filters. It is placed near the display
connector of the mobile phone to protect it from the harmful effects of electromagnetic force.
The data from the processor is filtered and goes to the display of the mobile phone. When the
data is filtered in this way, the picture on the display becomes a bit smooth.

What are the main ICs of a smartphone? ICs (Integrated Circuit)


Mobile Phone IC’s and their function
An integrated circuit(IC) is small chip that can function as an amplifier, oscillator, timer,
microprocessor. An IC is a small wafer, usually made of silicon, that can hold anywhere from
hundreds to millions of transistors, resistors, and capacitors. These extremely small electronics
can perform calculations and store data using either digital or analog technology. On the “Mobile
Phone ICs Functions and Identification,” We are going to be looking at the big parts. The big
parts here refer to the ICs short for integrated circuit. It is a good skill to be able to identify
mobile phone ICs functions for troubleshooting purposes.
[Link] IC
As Power IC is related to Power, it is called Power IC. The main function of the power IC is to
take voltage from the battery and supply regulated voltage to other ICs on the motherboard. This
IC supplies the input supply voltage from the battery to other ICs in the same way even when the
voltage of the battery decreases, i.e. the output voltage of the power IC is the same even when
the voltage of the battery decreases slightly. The on-off switch of the mobile phone is connected
to the power IC. We have been using the switch for some time. How to find Power IC on mobile
phone motherboard? When recognizing the power IC on the motherboard of a mobile phone,
there are more nonpolar capacitors around this IC than other ICs and there is an RTC near it as
well as some motherboards may have DC filter coils. Note: In some mobile phones, the power IC
may be packed inside the processor. In this case, nonpolar capacitors and RTC crystals are
placed near the processor

.
[Link]/PA IC
The power amplifier IC is also connected to the network. The function of this IC is to amplify
the RF signal emitted from the mobile phone to a sufficient level (as required) and send it. When
we are talking from one mobile phone to another, our voice is amplified by the power amplifier
IC and sent out. In this case, the IC takes the most current. When it comes to network problems
on mobile phones, this IC is the one that gets worse. How to find the power amplifier IC on the
motherboard of the mobile phone? The power amplifier IC is equipped with an external antenna
socket and a G.S. The M. antenna is placed near the interface. This power amplifier IC is also
slightly higher than other ICs. Some power amplifiers are also given a sign above the IC (on the
body) as shown in the picture below.

[Link] IC(RF IC)


This IC is called a network because it is related to the mobile phone network. This network IC is
also called RFIC or Baseband IC. The main function of this network IC is to link between the
mobile phone set and the mobile phone tower outside. The power signal amplifier IC is filtered
and amplified to reach the network IC, and the network IC converts the signal into an
intermediate signal and performs various functions such as amplification, mixing and
demodulation. How to find network power IC on mobile phone motherboard? The motherboard
of the mobile phone has RF Kristal and bandpass filters around the network IC. Some
motherboards may also have couplers around the network IC.

[Link]-Fi IC(W-LAN)
Wi-Fi for wireless local area network on mobile phones. IC is kept. Through this IC we can
access the internet without a SIM card. The function of Wi-Fi IC is to link between mobile phone
sets and home Wi-Fi routers through frequency. Bluetooth IC is packaged within WiFi IC in all
the smart mobile phones currently coming in the market. How to find WiFi on mobile phone
motherboard? There is also an oscillator that produces a certain value of frequency near Wi-Fi.
The exterior of this oscillator can be shaped like an RF coil or a coupler. There is also an antenna
interface near the IC. Note: If the RF is placed near the Wi-Fi IC and the network IC, it is
difficult to distinguish which network IC and which Wi-Fi IC. The Wi-Fi IC is housed alone on
the motherboard, while the network IC, power amplifier IC and bandpass filters are placed
nearby.

[Link](CPU)
Other ICs used in mobile phones process input and output data between Power IC, Network IC,
WiFi IC, Charging, Sound IC, USB IC. In this way, the processor is exchanging all the data
between everyone. That is why this IC is called Central Processing Unit CPU. The processor is
considered to be the most important IC because other ICs work under the direction of this IC.
How to find the processor IC on the motherboard of the mobile phone? The processor in mobile
phones is a bit bigger than other ICs, the exterior is also better and often in Square Shape.
Chinese and high-end mobile phones often use processors such as Spreadtrum, MTK (Media
Tek), MStar, Infineon, Sky Works.

[Link] Memory (NAND/eMMC/eMCP)


The operating software for operating the mobile phone is kept within this memory. This flash
memory is also called (NAND / EMMC / EMCP / UFS IC). The commands we give from the
keypad or touchpad of the mobile phone go directly to the memory through the processor and the
processor reads and writes the data in the memory. Such memories are used in different sizes
(Capacity) according to the mobile phone. This memory contains operating software as well as
space for storing user data. How to find flash memory IC on mobile phone motherboard? Flash
memory is placed close to the processor and it does not have as many small components as other
ICs. Flash memory is in IC (Rectangle Shape).

[Link] IC
