2Interface Characteristics
ELS31-V / ELS51-V 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 interfaces.
2.1Application Interface
2.1.1USB Interface
ELS31-V / ELS51-V 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 V
line is used for cable detection only, this is to be supplied by the external device. The
USB
USB circuitry in the ELS31-V / ELS51-V is designed to meet the USB 2.0 specification for self-

power.2.0”
.
To properly connect the module's USB interface to the external application, a USB 2.0 compatible connector and cable or hardware design is required. Furthermore, the USB modem driver
distributed with ELS31-V / ELS51-V needs to be installed.
1. The specification is ready for download on http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/
ELS31-V / ELS51-V 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 significant levels are 0V (for low data bit or active state) and 1.8V (for high data
bit or inactive state).
ELS31-V / ELS51-V 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, t he status line s RTS0 and CTS0 and, in addition,
the modem control lines DTR0, DSR0, DCD0 and RING0.
•Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
•ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1200bps up to 921600bps.
•Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control. Communication is possi ble by using only RXD
and TXD lines, if RTS0 is pulled low.
•Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation (high to low transition).
ELS51-V provides 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). With ELS31-V, ASC1 can only be used as data interface.
ELS51-V 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 module’s TXD1 signal line
•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 handshake.
•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 921600 bps.
•Supports RTS1/CTS1 hardware flow control. Communication is possi ble by using only RXD
and TXD lines, if RTS1 is pulled low.
•Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation (high to low transition).
ELS31-V / ELS51-V 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 ELS31-V / ELS51-V and is part of the Gemalto M2M reference equipment
submitted for type approval. See Section 7.1 for Molex ordering numbers.

CCIOSerial data line, input and output.
CCRSTChipcard reset
CCINInput 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 high level 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
ELS31-V
/ ELS51-V.
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 ELS31-V / ELS51-V.
The total cable length between the SMT application interface pads on ELS31-V / ELS51-V 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.
ELS31-V / ELS51-V offers a GPIO interface with 17 GPIO and 3 GPO lines. The lines are
shared with other interfaces or functions: Fast shutdown (see Section 2.1.11.2), status LED
(see Section 2.1.11.1), a pulse counter (see Section 2.1.8), ASC0 (see Section 2.1.2), ASC1
(see Section 2.1.3), SPI (see Section 2.1.7), and HSIC (see Section 2.1.9).
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.
Table 2: GPIO lines and possible alternative assignment
After startup, the above mentioned alternative GPIO line assignments can be configured u sing
AT commands (see [1]). The configuration is non-volatile and available after module restart.
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.

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.

C interface will properly shut down when the module enters the Power Down
Four ELS31-V / ELS51-V GPIO interface lines can be configured as Serial Periphera l Interface
(SPI). The SPI is a synchronous serial interface for control and data transfer between ELS31V / ELS51-V 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 lines SPI_CS1 and SPI_CS2.
2.1.8Pulse 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 2.1.5).

2.1.11Control Signals
2.1.11.1Status LED
The GPO5 interface line can be configured to drive a status LED that indicates different operating modes of the module (for GPIOs see Section 2.1.5). GPO and LED functionality are mutually exclusive.
2.1.11.2Fast 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.
The RF interface has an impedance of 50. ELS31-V /ELS51-V 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 ELS31-V / ELS51-V module and should be placed in the host application if
the antenna does not have an impedance of 50
Regarding the return loss ELS31-V / ELS51-V provides the following values in the active band:
Table 3: Return loss in the active band
State of moduleReturn loss of moduleRecommended return loss of application
The antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pads (RF_OUT, pad #59 and DIV_ANT,
pad 56) its neighboring ground pads (GND, i.e., pads #55, #57, #58 and #60) directly to the
application’s PCB. The antenna pad is the antenna reference point (ARP) for ELS31-V /
ELS51-V. All RF data specified throughout this document is related to the ARP.
The distance between the antenna RF pads and its neighb oring GND pads 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
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 needs
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 ELS31-V / ELS51-V‘s antenna pad.
Figure 6 shows a typical example of how to integrate a ELS31-V / ELS51-V module with an
application. Usage of the various host interfaces depends on the desired features of the application.
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
potential interferers may be minimized by placing small capacitors (47pF) at suspected lines
(e.g. RXD0, 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 [4].
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: ELS31-V / ELS51-V 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 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 ELS31-V / ELS51-V modules.

In Airplane mode, the software can be active or in SLEEP state.
ELS31-V/ ELS51-V needs to be connected to a power supply at the SMT application interface
- 2 BATT lines and GND. There are two separate voltage domains for BATT:
•BATT_BB with a line mainly for the baseband power supply.
•BATT_RF with a line for the RF power amplifier supply.
Please note that throughout the document BATT refers to both voltage domains and power
supply lines - BATT_BB and BATT_RF.
The power supply of ELS31-V / ELS51-V has to be a single voltage source at BATT_BB and
BATT_RF. It must be able to provide the current for all operation modes of the module.
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 baseba nd 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.
ELS31-V / ELS51-V is designed to comply with the directives and standards listed below.
It is the responsibility of the application manufacturer to ensure compliance of the final product
with all provisions of the applicable directives and standards as well as with the technical specifications provided in the "ELS31-V / ELS51-V Hardware Interface Description".

The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage,
service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating ELS31-V. 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.
