2 Interface Characteristics
ELS61-US 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
ELS61-US 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 ELS61-US is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0”
1
.
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 ELS61-US needs to be installed.

2.1.2 Serial Interface ASC0
ELS61-US 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).
ELS61-US 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.
• 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.
• 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 the line is not 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.

2.1.3 Serial Interface ASC1
Four ELS61-US 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).
ELS61-US 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 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
ELS61-US 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.
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 ELS61-US and is part of the Gemalto M2M reference equipment submitted for type
approval. See Section 7.1 for Molex ordering numbers.
Table 1: Signals of the SIM interface (SMT application interface)
Signal Description
GND Separate ground connection for SIM card to improve EMC.
CCCLK Chipcard clock
CCVCC SIM supply voltage.
CCIO Serial data line, input and output.
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 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
ELS61-US.
Note [1]: 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 ELS61-US.
Note [2]: On the evaluation board, the CCIN signal is inverted, thus the CCIN signal is by default high and
will change to a low level if a SIM card is inserted.

Figure 5: External UICC/SIM/USIM card holder circuit
The total cable length between the SMT application interface pads on ELS61-US 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.

2.1.5 GPIO Interface
ELS61-US offers a GPIO interface with 22 GPIO lines. The GPIO lines are shared with other
interfaces or functions: Fast shutdown (see Section 2.2.4), status LED (see Section 2.2.3), the
PWM functionality (see Section 2.2.1), an pulse counter (see Section 2.2.2), ASC0 (see Sec-
tion 2.1.2), ASC1 (see Section 2.1.3), an SPI interface (see Section 2.2).
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.

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

The I
C interface can be powered via the V180 line of ELS61-US. If connected to the V180 line,

C interface will properly shut down when the module enters the Power Down mode.
the I
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.
2.2 SPI Interface
Four ELS61-US GPIO interface lines can be configured as Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
The SPI is a synchronous serial interface for control and data transfer between ELS61-US 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.

2.2.1 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 2.1.5). GPIO and PWM functionality are mutually exclusive.
2.2.2 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 2.1.5).
2.2.3 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 2.1.5). GPIO and LED functionality are mu-
tually exclusive.
2.2.4 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.

2.3.1 Antenna Installation
The antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pad (ANT_MAIN or ANT_DRX) and its
neighboring ground pads (GND) directly to the application’s PCB. The antenna pads are the
antenna reference points (ARP) for ELS61-US. All RF data specified throughout this document
is related to the ARP.
The distance between the antenna pad and its neighboring GND pads has been optimized for
best possible impedance. To prevent mismatch, special attention should be paid to these pads
on the application‘s PCB.
The wiring of the antenna connection, starting from the antenna pad to the application‘s antenna should result in a 50
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 external application PCB, it is recommended to realize the antenna connection line using embedded Stripline rather than Micro-Stripline technology.
Ω line impedance. Line width and distance to the GND plane needs to
For type approval purposes, the use of a 50
Ω 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 ELS61-US‘s antenna pad.

2.4 Sample Application

2.4 Sample Application
Figure 6 shows a typical example of how to integrate a ELS61-US 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
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 [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.
Note: ELS61-US 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 ELS61-US modules.

5.2 SAR requirements specific to portable mobiles
Mobile phones, PDAs or other portable transmitters and receivers incorporating a UMTS module must be in accordance with the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency energy.
This requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable ELS61-US 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 US-markets 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.

Page 37 of 40
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 ELS61-US. 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.
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.
