2 Interface Characteristics

EHS8 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 USB Interface

EHS8 supports a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mbit/s) device interface that is Full Speed (12Mbit/s) compliant. The USB interface is primarily intended for use as command and data interface and for downloading firmware.

The external application is responsible for supplying the VUSB_IN line. This line is used for cable detection only. The USB part (driver and transceiver) is supplied by means of BATT+. This is because EHS8 is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0”

Module

USB part

All serial (including RS) and pull-up resistors for data lines are implemented.

If the USB interface is operated in High Speed mode (480MHz), it is recommended to

take special care routing the data lines USB_DP and USB_DN. Application layout should in this case implement a differential impedance of 90 ohms for proper signal integrity.

2.1 Application Interface

2.1.2 Serial Interface ASC0

EHS8 offers an 8-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC0 conforming to ITUT V.24 protocol DCE signalling. The electrical characteristics do not comply with ITU-T V.28. The significant levels are 0V (for low data bit or active state) and 1.8V (for high data bit or inactive state).

EHS8 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 designed for controlling GSM/UMTS voice calls, transferring data and for

controlling the module with AT commands.

• Full multiplexing capability allows the interface to be partitioned into virtual channels.

• The RING0 signal serves to indicate incoming calls and other types of URCs (Unsolicited

Result Code). It can also be used to send p ulses to the host application, for example to wake up the application from power saving state.

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

• ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1,200bps up to 921,600bps.

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

• Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control. The hardware hand shake line RTS0 has an

internal pull down resistor causing a low level signal, if t he line is n ot used and open. Although hardware flow control is recommended, this allows communication by using only RXD and TXD lines.

• Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation (high to low transition).

2.1.3 Serial Interface ASC1

Four EHS8 GPIO lines can be configured as ASC1 interface signals to provide a 4-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC1 conforming to ITU-T V.24 protocol DCE signalling. The electrical characteristics do not comply with ITU-T V.28. The significant levels are 0V (for low data bit or active state) and 1.8V (for high data bit or inactive state).

2.1 Application Interface

• Port RXD @ application receives data from the module’s RXD1 signal line

Figure 4: Serial interface ASC1

Features

• Includes only the data lines TXD1 and RXD1 plus RTS1 and CTS1 for hardware han dshake.

• On ASC1 no RING line is available.

• Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 or 2 stop bits.

• ASC1 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1,200 bps to 921,600 bps.

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

• Supports RTS1/CTS1 hardware flow. The hardware hand shake line RTS0 has an internal

pull down resistor causing a low level signal, if the line is not used and open. Although hardware flow control is recommended, this allows communication by using only RXD and TXD lines.

2.1.4 UICC/SIM/USIM Interface

EHS8 has an integrated UICC/SIM/USIM interface compatible with the 3GPP 31.102 and ETSI 102 221. This is wired to the host interface in order to be connected to an external SIM card holder. Five pads on the SMT application interface are reserved for the SIM interface.

The UICC/SIM/USIM interface supports 3V and 1.8V SIM cards.

The CCIN signal serves to detect whether a tray (with SIM card) is present in the card holder. Using the CCIN signal is mandatory for compliance with the GSM 11.11 recommendation 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 required on the card holder. For example, this is true for the model supplied by Molex, which has been tested to operate with EHS8 and is part of the Gemalto M2M reference equipment submitted for type approval. See Section 7.1 for Molex ordering numbers.

CCRST Chipcard reset

CCIN

Input on the baseband processor for detecting a SIM card tray in the holder. If the SIM is removed during operation the SIM interface is shut down immediately to prevent destruction of the SIM. The CCIN signal is by default low and will change to highl evel if a SIM card is inserted. The CCIN signal is mandatory for applications that allow the user to remove the SIM card during operation. The CCIN signal 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 EHS8.

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 initializing any SIM card that the user inserts after having removed the SIM card during operation. In this case, the application must restart EHS8.

The total cable length between the SMT application interface pads on EHS8 and the pads 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 is using a GND line to shield the CCIO line from the CCCLK line.

2.1 Application Interface

2.1.5 Digital Audio Interface

EHS8‘s digital audio interface (DAI) can be used to connect audio devices capable of pulse code modulation (PCM).

2.1.6 GPIO Interface

EHS8 offers a GPIO interface with 22 GPIO lines. The GPIO lines are shared with other interfaces or functions: Fast shutdown (see Section 2.1.13), status LED (see Section 2.1.12), the PWM functionality (see Section 2.1.10), an pulse counter (see Section 2.1.11), ASC0 (see

Section 2.1.2), ASC1 (see Section 2.1.3), an SPI interface (see Section 2.1.8), an HSIC

interface (see Section 2.1.9) and a PCM interface (see Section 2.1.10)

The following table shows the configuration variants for the GPIO pads. All variants are mutually exclusive, i.e. a pad configured for instance as Status LED is locked for alternative usage.

After startup, the above mentioned alternative GPIO line assignments can be configured using AT commands (see [1]). The configuration is non-volatile and available after module restart.

2.1.7 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 bidirectional 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 as mastertransmitter or as master-receiver. The customer application transmits or receives data only on request of the module.

C interface can be powered via the V180 line of EHS8. If connected to the V180 line, the

The I

C interface will properly shut down when the module enters the Power Down mode.

Note: Good care should be taken when creating the PCB layout of the host application: The traces of I2CCLK and I2CDAT should be equal in length and as short as possible.

2.1.8 SPI Interface

Four EHS8 GPIO interface lines can be configured as Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The SPI is a synchronous serial interface for control and data transfer between EHS8 and the external application. Only one application can be connected to the SPI and the interface supports only master mode. The transmission rates are up to 6.5Mbit/s. The SPI interface comprises the two data lines MOSI and MISO, the clock line SPI_CLK a well as the chip select line SPI_CS.

2.1.9 HSIC Interface

The (USB) High Speed Inter Chip Interface can be used between the module and an external application processor and is compliant to the High Speed USB 2.0 interface with 480Mbit/s. The maximum distance between module processor and external application processor should not exceed 100mm.

The HSIC interface comprises 6 lines:

• Two signal lines (strobe - HSIC_STRB - and data - HSIC_DATA) are used in a source

synchronous serial interface with a 240MHz clock to provide a 480Mbps USB interface. The HSIC_STRB and HSIC_DATA lines are high-speed signals and should be routed as 50

impedance traces. The trace length of these signals should be balanced to minimize timing skew and no longer as 100mm.

• Four signal lines for Link Power Management (LPM). For further power reduction, the USB

HSIC interface supports LPM according to the USB 2.0 standard. The LPM defines power management states and mechanisms to affect state changes that are used b y the AP_WAKEUP and CP_WAKEUP signal lines to efficiently manage bus and system power. To take advantage of the LPM feature, two further signals are needed to support power management state transitions - the SUSPEND and HOST_ACTIVE signals.

2.1.10 PWM Interfaces

The GPIO6 and GPIO7 interface lines can be configured as Pulse Width Modulation interface lines PWM1 and PWM2. The PWM interface lines can be used, for example, to connect buzzers. The PWM1 line is shared with GPIO7 and the PWM2 line is shared with GPIO6 (for GPIOs see Section 2.1.6). GPIO and PWM functionality are mutually exclusive.

2.1.11 Pulse Counter

The GPIO8 line can be configured as pulse counter line COUNTER. The pulse counter interface can be used, for example, as a clock (for GPIOs see Section 2.1.6).

2.1.12 Status LED

The GPIO5 interface line can be configured to drive a status LED that indicates different operating modes of the module (for GPIOs see Section 2.1.6). GPIO and LED functionality are mutually exclusive.

2.1.13 Fast Shutdown

The GPIO4 interface line can be configured as fast shutdown signal line FST_SHDN. The configured FST_SHDN line is an active low control signal and must be applied for at least 10 milliseconds. If unused this line can be left open because of a configured internal pull-up resistor.

2.2 RF Antenna Interface

The RF interface has an impedance of 50　. EHS8 is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna line 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 EHS8 module and should be placed in the host application if the antenna does not have an impedance of 50

Regarding the return loss EHS8 provides the following values in the active band:

2.2 RF Antenna Interface

2.2.1 Antenna Installation

The antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pad (ANT_GSM, i.e., pad #59) and its neighboring ground pads (GND, i.e., pads #58 and #60) directly to the application’s PCB. The antenna pad is the antenna reference point (ARP) for EHS8. All RF data specified throughout this document is related to the ARP.

The distance between the antenna ANT_GSM pad (#59) and its neighboring GND pads (#58, #60) has been optimized for best possible impedance. On the application PCB, special attention should be paid to these 3 pads, in order to prevent mismatch.

The wiring of the antenna connection line, starting from the antenna pad to the application antenna should result in a 50 needs to be optimized with regard to the PCB’s layer stack.

To prevent receiver desensitization due to interferences generated by fast transients like high speed clocks on the application PCB, it is recommended to realize the antenna connection line using embedded Stripline rather than Micro-Stripline technology. .

　 line impedance. Line width and distance to the GND plane

For type approval purposes, the use of a 50

　 coaxial antenna connector (U.FL-R-SMT) might

be necessary. In this case the U.FL-R-SMT connector should be placed as close as possible to EHS8‘s antenna pad.

2.3 GPS Interface

2.3.1 GPS Receiver

EHS8 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, the 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.

2.3.2 GPS Antenna

In addition to the RF antenna interface EHS8 also has a GPS antenna interface. The GPS installation is the same as for the RF antenna interface, except for pad 224 instead of pad 59.

It is possible to connect active or passive GPSS antennas. For active antennas the power is supplied by ANT_GPS_PWR; see sample application given in Figure 6. In either case the

antennas must have 50　 impedance. The simultaneous operation of GSM and GPS has been implemented.

2.4 Sample Application

Figure 6 shows a typical example of how to integrate a EHS8 module with an application.

Usage of the various host interfaces depends on the desired features of the application.

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. The

 EHS8_HIO_v02.770 2014-08-11

Confidential / Preliminary

Cinterion® EHS8 Hardware Interface Overview Page 24 of 43

potential interferers may be minimized by placing small capacitors (47pF) at suspected lines

(e.g. RXD0, RXT0, VDDLP, and ON).

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 [3].

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.

Note: EHS8 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 6 and the information detailed in this section. As functionality and compliance with

national 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 EHS8 modules.

6.4 Safety Precaution Notes

Page 40 of 43

6.4 Safety Precaution Notes

The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating EHS8. Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and operating 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 manufacturer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their hand-held mobile away from the pacemaker, 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 forbidden, 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.

 EHS8_HIO_v02.770 2014-08-11

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.
