1.3.2 SAR requirements specific to portable mobiles

Mobile phones, PDAs or other portable transmitters and receivers incorporating a GSM module
must be in accordance with the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency energy. This
requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable AGS2-E based applications to be eval­uated and approved for compliance with national and/or international regulations.

Since the SAR value varies significantly with the individual product design manufacturers are
advised to submit their product for approval if designed for portable use. For European and US­markets the relevant directives are mentioned below. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer
of the final product to verify whether or not further standards, recommendations or directives
are in force outside these areas.

IMPORTANT:
Manufacturers of portable applications based on AGS2-E modules are required to have their
final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate relat­ed to the specific portable mobile (see also Section 8.2).

1.3.3 Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage,
service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating AGS2-E. Manufacturers of the
cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and ope rating
personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Fail­ure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and in­tended use of the product. Gemalto M2M assumes no liability for customer’s failure to comply
with these precautions.

When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of
mobiles. Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, if instructed to do so by the guide­lines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hear­ing aids can be affected by interference from cellular terminals or mobiles placed close
to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufa c­turer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker
patients are advised to keep their hand-held mob ile a way from the pace maker , while
it is on.

Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it can­not be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is
forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe
these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services to the
offender, legal action, or both.

Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots,
chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any elec­trical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.

Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while
switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets,
radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations
and always switch off the cellular terminal or mobile wherever forbidd en, or when you
suspect that it may cause interference or danger.

Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when driv­ing a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a holder for speakerphone operation.
Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle.
Speakerphones must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or opera­tion can constitute a safety hazard.

IMPORTANT!
Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks.
Because of this, connection cannot be guaranteed at all times under all conditions.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential com­munications, for example emergency calls.
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the cellular terminal or mobile must be
switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone
features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate
those features before you can make an emergency call.
Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular termi­nal or mobile.

3.1 Operating Modes

The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following
chapters.

Table 7: Overview of operating modes

Normal operation GSM/GPRS SLEEP Various power save modes set with AT+CFUN command.

Software is active to minimum extent. If the module was
registered to the GSM network in IDLE mode, it is register ed
and paging with the BTS in SLEEP mode, too. Power sav­ing can be chosen at different levels: The NON-CYCLIC
SLEEP mode (AT+CFUN=0) disables the AT interface. The
CYCLIC SLEEP modes AT+CFUN=7 and 9 alternatingly
activate and deactivate the AT interfaces to allow perma­nent access to all AT commands.

GSM IDLE Software is active. Once registered to the GSM network,

paging with BTS is carried out. The module is ready to send
and receive.

GSM TALK Connection between two subscribers is in progress. Power

consumption depends on network coverage individual set­tings, such as DTX off/on, FR/EFR/HR, hopping
sequences, antenna.

GPRS IDLE Module is ready for GPRS data transfer, but no data is cur-

rently sent or received. Power consumption depends on
network settings and GPRS configuration (e.g. multislot set­tings).

GPRS DATA GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption

depends on network settings (e.g. power control level),
uplink/downlink data rates, GPRS configuration (e.g. used
multislot settings) and reduction of maximum output power.

GNSS The GNSS NMEA data stream is internally routed to the

ASC0 interface, while the baseband processor in the idle or
active state. NMEA data streams are not available while the
base band processor is in the SLEEP mode.

Power Down Normal shutdown after sending the AT^SMSO command.

Only a voltage regulator is active for powering the RTC. Software is not active.
Interfaces are not accessible.
Operating voltage (connected to BATT+) remains applied.

Alarm mode Restricted operation launched by RTC alert function while the module is in Power

Down mode. Module will not be registered to GSM network. Limited number of AT
commands is accessible.

See the following sections for the various options of waking up AGS2-E and proceeding from
one mode to another.

3.2 Power Supply

AGS2-E needs to be connected to a power supply at the SMT application interface - 4 lines
BATT+, and GND. There are two separate voltage domains for BATT+:

• BATT+ with 2 lines for the general power management.

• BATT+_GSM with 2 lines for the GSM power amplifier supply.
The power supply of AGS2-E has to be a single voltage source at BATT+ and BATT+ _GSM. It

must be able to provide the peak current during the uplink transmission.
All the key functions for supplying power to the device are handled by t he power management

section of the analog controller. This IC provides the following features:

• Stabilizes the supply voltages for the GSM baseband using low drop linear voltage regula­tors and a DC-DC step down switching regulator.

• Switches the module's power voltages for the power-up and -down procedures.

• SIM switch to provide SIM power supply.

3.3 RTC Backup

The internal Real Time Clocks of AGS2-E are supplied from a separate voltage regulator in the
power supply component which is also active when AGS2-E is in Power Down mode and
BATT+ is available. In addition, it is possible to backup the RTCs from an external capacitor.

3.4 SIM/USIM Interface

Page 22 of 40

3.4 SIM/USIM Interface

The baseband processor has an integrated SIM/USIM card interface compatible with the ISO/
IEC 7816 IC Card standard. This is wired to the host interface in order to be connected to an
external SIM card holder. Five pads are reserved for the SIM interface. AGS2-E supports and
automatically detects 3.0V as w e l l a s 1.8V SI M c a r d s .

The CCIN pad serves to detect whether a tray is present in the card holder. Using the CCIN
pad is mandatory for compliance with the 3GPP TS 11.11 (Rel.99) recommendatio n if the me­chanical design of the host application allows the user to remove the SIM card during operation.
To take advantage of this feature, an appropriate SIM card detect switch is re quired on the card
holder. For example, this is true for the model supplied by Molex, which has been tested to op­erate with AGS2-E and is part of the Gemalto M2M reference equipment submitted fo r type ap­proval. See Chapter 9 for Molex ordering numbers.

Signal Description

CCIO Serial data line, input and output.
CCRST Chipcard reset, provided by baseband processor
CCIN Input on the baseband processor for detecting a SIM card tray in the holder.The default

level of CCIN is low (internal pull down resistor, no card inserted). It will change to high level
when the card is inserted. To take advantage of this feature, an appropriate contact is
required on the cardholder. Ensure that the cardholde r on your application platform is wired
to output a high signal when the SIM card is present.
The CCIN pad is mandatory for applications that allo w the user to remove the SIM card dur­ing operation.
The CCIN pad is solely intended for use with a SIM card. It must not be used for any other
purposes. Failure to comply with this requirement may invalidate the type approval of AGS2-E.

The figure below shows a circuit to connect an external SIM card holder including enhanced
ESD protection for the SIM interface lines.

Figure 2: External SIM card holder circuit

It is recommended that the total cable length between SMT application interface pads on
AGS2-E and the connector of the external SIM card holder must not exceed 100mm in order
to meet the specifications of 3GPP TS 51.010-1 and to satisfy the requirements of EMC com­pliance.

To avoid possible cross-talk from the CCCLK signal to the CCIO signal be careful that both
lines are not placed closely next to each other. A useful approach would be to use a separate
SIM card ground connection to shield the CCIO line from the CCCLK line. A GND line may be
employed for such a case.

Note: No guarantee can be given, nor any liability accepted, if loss of data is encountered after
removing the SIM card during operation.
Also, no guarantee can be given for properly initialising any SIM card that the user inserts after
having removed a SIM card during operation. In this case, the application must restart AGS2-E.
If using a SIM card holder without detecting contact please be sure to switch off the module
before removing the SIM Card or inserting a new one.

3.5 Serial Interface ASC0

AGS2-E offers an 8-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC0 conforming to
ITU-T V.24 protocol DCE signalling. The electrical characteristics do not comply with ITU-T
V.28. The voltage level of the ASC0 interface is configured to 1.8V.

AGS2-E is designed for use as a DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE connections it
communicates with the customer application (DTE) using the following signals:

• Port TXD @ application sends data to the module’s TXD0 signal line

• Port RXD @ application receives data from the module’s RXD0 signal line

Figure 3: Serial interface ASC0

Features:

• Includes the data lines TXD0 and RXD0, the status lines RTS0 and CTS0 and, in addition,
the modem control lines DTR0, DSR0, DCD0 and RING0.

• ASC0 is primarily designed for controlling voice calls, transferring CSD, fax and GPRS data
and for controlling the GSM module with AT commands. Also, the GNSS NMEA data
stream is internally routed to the ASC0 interface.

• The DTR0 signal will only be polled once per second from the internal firmware of AGS2-E.

• The RING0 signal serves to indicate incoming calls and other types of URCs (Unsolicited
Result Code). It can also be used to send pulses to the host application, for example to
wake up the application from power saving state. See [1] for details on h ow to configure the
RING0 line by AT^SCFG.

• Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.

• ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 300bps to 230,400bps.

• Autobauding supports bit rates from 1,200bps to 230,400bps.

• Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control and XON/XOFF software flow control.

3.6 Analog Audio Interface

AGS2-E has an analog audio interface with a balanced analog microphone input and a bal­anced analog earpiece output. A supply voltage and an analog ground connection are provided
at dedicated pads.

AGS2-E offers six audio modes which can be selected with AT command. The electrical char­acteristics of the voiceband part vary with the audio mode. F or example, sending and receiving
amplification, sidetone paths, noise suppression etc. depend on the selected mode and can be
altered with AT commands (except for mode 1).

When shipped from factory, all audio parameters of AGS2-E are set to audio mode 1. This is
the default configuration optimised for the Votronic HH-SI-30.3/V1.1/0 handset and used for
type approving the Gemalto M2M reference configuration. Audio mode 1 has fix parameters
which cannot be modified. To adjust the settings of the Votronic handset simply change to an­other audio mode.

3.7 Digital Audio Interface

AGS2-E’s digital audio interface (DAI) can be used to connect audio devices capable of pulse
code modulation (PCM). The PCM functionality allows for the use of an external cod ec like the
W681360. Using an AT command you can activate the DAI interface.

3.8 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

The ADC lines are used for antenna diagnosis and general purpose voltage measurements.
The lines can be configured and read by the AT command.

3.9 GPIO Interface

AGS2-E offers a GPIO interface with 4 GPIO lines. The GPIO lines are shared with other int er­faces, such as the fast shutdown functionality, the PWM functionality, jamming indicator or an­tenna detection. All functions are controlled by dedicated AT commands.

The following table shows the configuration variants of the GPIO pads. All variants are mutually

3.10 I2C Interface

I2C is a serial, 8-bit oriented data transfer bus for bit rates up to 400kbps in Fast mode. It con­sists of two lines, the serial data line I2CDAT and the serial clock line I2CCLK. The module acts
as a single master device, e.g. the clock I2CCLK is driven by the module. I2CDAT is a bi-direc­tional line. Each device connected to the bus is software addressable by a unique 7-bit ad­dress, and simple master/slave relationships exist at all times. The module operates a s master­transmitter or as master-receiver. The customer application transmits or receives data only on
request of the module.

3.11 Status LED

One line at the SMT application interface can be configured to drive a status LED which indi­cates different operating modes of the module.

The STATUS indicator can be enabled/disabled by AT command.

Page 27 of 40

4 GNSS Receiver

AGS2-E integrates a GPS receiver that offers the full performance of GPS technology. The
GPS receiver is able to continuously track all satellites in view, thus providing accurate satellite
position data.

The integrated GPS receiver supports the NMEA protocol via ASC0 interface. NMEA is a com­bined electrical and data specification for communication between various (marine) electronic
devices including GPS receivers. It has been defined and controlled by the US based National
Marine Electronics Association. For more information on the NMEA Standard please refer to
http://www.nmea.org.

Depending on the receiver’s knowledge of last position, current time and ephemeris data, th e
receiver’s startup time (i.e., TTFF = Time-To-First-Fix) may vary: If the receiver has no knowl­edge of its last position or time, a startup takes considerably longer than if the receiver has still
knowledge of its last position, time and almanac or has still access to valid ephimeris data and
the precise time.

By default, the GPS receiver is switched off. It has to be switched on and configured using AT
commands (AT^SGPSC; see [1]).

GPS 1pps Clock:

AGS2-E provides a high accuracy 1pps output (one pulse per second) signal, synchronized
with the GPS time.

The 1pps output can be used by an external application as a reference to generate accurate
high-frequency clocks. A specific design however has to address the short-term jitter affecting
the 1pps signal. As a general rule, the divided system clock is synchronized with the GPS 1pps
for the long-term accuracy. The deviation is less than 50ns.

The 1pps signal is based on the almost-perfect timing o f the satellite. But as the satellite moves,
the distance to it will increase or decrease. This change in distance will produce a change in
the 1pps signal, because the light has to travel a different distance each time.

To compensate for this effect the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) has to know its
position. Then it is able to correct signal effects (mainly distance but there are more). Therefore,
at least three satellites are required (better four).

The RF interface has an impedance of 50. AGS2-E is capable of sustaining a total misma tch
at the antenna pad without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power.

The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radi­ated power, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Antenna matching networks are
not included on the AGS2-E module and should be placed in the host application.

5.2 GNSS Antenna Interface

In addition to the RF antenna interface AGS2-E also has a GNSS antenna interface. The GNSS
antenna installation is the same as for the RF antenna interface (see Section 5.1.1).

It is possible to connect active or passive GNSS antennas. In either case they must have 50
impedance. The simultaneous operation of GSM and GNSS has been implemented.

AGS2-E provides the supply voltage VGNSS for the GNSS active antenna (3.05V). It has to be
enabled by software when the GNSS receiver shall becomes active, otherwise VGNSS should
be off (power saving). VGNSS is not short circuit protected. This will have to be provided for by
an external application. The DC voltage should be fed back via ANT_GNSS_DC for coupling
into the GNSS antenna path. Figure 4 shows the flexibility in realizing the power supp ly for an

7 Sample Application

Figure 8 shows a typical example of how to integrate a AGS2-E module with an application.

Usage of the various host interfaces depends on the desired features of the application.
The analog audio interface demonstrates the balanced connection of microphone and ear-

piece. This solution is particularly well suited for internal transducers.
Because of the very low power consumption design, current flowing from any other source into

the module circuit must be avoided, for example reverse current from high state external control
lines. Therefore, the controlling application must be designed to prevent reverse current flow.
Otherwise there is the risk of undefined states of the module during startup and shutdown or
even of damaging the module.

Because of the high RF field density inside the module, it cannot be guaranteed that no self
interference might occur, depending on frequency and the applications grounding concept. ex­cluded that in some applications dependant on the grounding concept of the custome r. The po­tential interferers may be minimized by placing small capacitors (47pF) at suspected lines (e.g.
RXD0, PCM_CLK, VDDLP, and IGT).

While developing SMT applications it is strongly recommended to provide test points
for certain signals, i.e., lines to and from the module - for debug and/or test purposes.
The SMT application should allow for an easy access to these signals. For details on
how to implement test points see [2].

The EMC measures are best practice recommendations. In fact, an adequate EMC strategy for
an individual application is very much determined by the overall layout and, especially, the po­sition of components. For example, mounting the internal acoustic transducers directly on the
PCB eliminates the need to use the ferrite beads shown in the sample schematic.

Please note that AGS2-E is not intended for use with cables longer than 3m.
Disclaimer

No warranty, either stated or implied, is provided on the sample schematic diagram shown in

Figure 8 and the information detailed in this section. As functionality and compliance with na-

tional regulations depend to a great amount on the used electronic components and the indi­vidual application layout manufacturers are required to ensure adequate design and operating
safeguards for their products using AGS2-E modules.

their final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate
related to the specific portable mobile. This is mandatory to meet the SAR requirements for por­table mobiles (see Section 1.3.2 for detail).

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protec­tion against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turn ing
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that after the module is installed and operational
the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements.
