Interface Characteristics
PDS8 is equipped with an SMT application interface that connects to the external application. The SMT application interface incorporates the various application interfaces as RF antenna interface.
2.1
Application Interface
2.1.1
PDS8 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 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 PDS8 is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Uni- versal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0”

All serial (including RS) and pull-up resistors for data lines are implemented.
2)
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 90Ohm for proper signal integrity.

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 PDS8 needs to be installed.

2.1 Application Interface
Page 11 of 35
2.1.2
Serial Interface ASC0
PDS8 offers an 8-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC0 con- forming 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 inactive state).
PDS8 is designed for use as a DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE con-
nections 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
bit or
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 pulses to the host application, for example to wake up the application from power saving state.
By default configured to the setting 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1200bps up to 921600bps.
Autobauding supports bit rates from 1200bps up to 230400bps.
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 (high to low transition).
