2 Interface Characteristics
ALAS5V is equipped with an SMT application interface that connects to the external applica­tion. The SMT application interface incorporates the various application interfaces as well as the RF antenna interface.

2.1 Application Interface

2.1.1 Pad Assignment

The SMT application interface on the ALAS5V provides connecting pads to integrate the mod­ule into external applications. Table 3 lists the pads’ assignments. Figure 3 (bottom view) and
Figure 4 (top view) show the connecting pads’ numbering plan.
Please note that a number of connecting pads are marked as reserved for future use (rfu) and further qualified as either (<name>), (dnu), (GND) or (nc):
Pads marked as “rfu“ and q ualified as “<name>“ (signal name) may be soldered and could be connected to an external application compliant to the signals’ electrical characteristics as described in Table 4.
Pads marked "rfu" and qualified as "dnu" (do not use) may be soldered but should not be connected to an external application.
Pads marked "rfu" and qualified as "GND" (ground) are assigned to ground with ALAS5V modules, but may have different assignments with future Gemalto M2M p roducts using the same pad layout.
Pads marked "rfu" and qualified as "nc" (not connected) are internally not connected with ALAS5V modules, but may be soldered and arbitrarily be connected to external ground.
Also note that some pads are marked with a circle ( ). These pads have a round shape for improved impedance control.
Gemalto strongly recommends to solder all connecting pads for mechanical stability and heat dissipation.
Also, Gemalto strongly recommends to provide test points for certain signal lines to and from the module while developing SMT applications – for debug and/or test purposes during the manufacturing process. In this way it is possible to detect soldering problems. Please refer to
[3] for more information on test points and how to implement them. The signal lines for which
test points should be provided for are marked as “Test point required” or “Test point recom­mended“ in Section 2.1.2: Table 4 describing signal characteristics.

PWR_IND (Power Indicator)
notifies the module’s on/off
state.
PWR_IND is an open collec-
tor that needs to be con-
nected to an external pull-up
resistor. Low state of the
open collector indicates that
the module is on. Vice versa,
high level notifies the Power
Down mode.
Therefore, the signal may be
used to enable external vol-
tage regulators that supply
an external logic for commu-
nication with the module,
e.g. level converters.
Test point recommended.

2.1.3 USB Interface

ALAS5V supports a USB 3.0 Super Speed (5Gbps) device interface, and alternatively a USB
2.0 device interface that is High Speed compatible. The USB interface is primarily intended f or use as command and data interface, and for downloading firmware.
The USB host is responsible for supplying the VUSB_IN line. This line is for voltage detection only. The USB part (driver and transceiver) is supplied by means of BATT+. This is because ALAS5V is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Universal Serial Bus Spec­ification Revision 3.0”
1
.
Figure 5: USB circuit
To properly connect the module's USB interface to the external application, a USB 3.0 or 2.0 compatible connector and cable or hardware design is required. For further guidelines on im­plementing the external application’s USB 3.0 or 2.0 interface see [4] and [5]. For more infor­mation on the USB related signals see Table 4. Furthermore, the USB modem driver distributed with ALAS5V needs to be installed.
While a USB connection is active, the module will never switch into SLEEP mode. Only if the USB interface is in Suspended state or Detached (i.e., VUSB_IN = 0) is the module able to switch into SLEEP mode thereby saving power
1. The specification is ready for download on http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/
2. Please note that if the USB interface is employed, and a USB cable is connected, there should also be a terminal program linked to the USB port in order to receive and process the initial SYSSTART URC after module startup. Otherwise, the SYSSTART URC remains pending in the USB driver's output buffer and this unprocessed data prevents the module from power saving.
