Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for supporting a self-destruction function in a baseband modem are provided. A self-destruction method of a baseband modem includes sending a request for supplying power to a self-destruction unit to a power management unit when a command for performing the self-destruction is received from a base station and controlling the self-destruction unit to output a signal corresponding to a specific bit value. The signal output by the self-destruction unit is used to block a clock supplied from a Temperature-Compensated crystal Oscillator (TCXO) to the baseband modem through a logical operation with a signal output by the TCXO.
