1.3.2 SAR requirements specific to portable mobiles

Mobile phones, PDAs or other portable transmitters and receivers incorporating a GSM/CDMA module must be in accordance with the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency energy. This requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable PXS8 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 European and USmarkets 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.

Products intended for sale on US markets

ES 59005/ANSI C95.1 Considerations for evaluation of human exposure to electromagnetic

fields (EMFs) from mobile telecommunication equipment (MTE) in the frequency range 30MHz - 6GHz

Products intended for sale on European markets

EN 50360 Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of mobile phones with

the basic restrictions related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields (300MHz - 3GHz)

IMPORTANT: Manufacturers of portable applications based on PXS8 modules are required to have their final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate related to the specific portable mobile.

1.3.3 SELV Requirements

The power supply connected to the PXS8 module shall be in compliance with the SELV requirements defined in EN 60950-1.

1.3.4 Safety Precautions

The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating PXS8. 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. Cinterion Wireless Modules 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 med ical 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 su re it cannot be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wirele ss 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 d epots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Oper ation 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 re gulations 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.

PXS8 Hardware Interface Description

1.3 Regulatory and Type Approval Information

IMPORTANT! Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals an d 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 cellu lar terminal or mobile.

Bear in mind that exposure to excessive levels of noise can cause physical damage to users! With regard to acoustic shock, the cellular application must be designed to avoid unintentional increase of amplification, e.g. for a highly sensitive earpiece. A protection circuit should be implemented in the cellular application.

3.2 Power Supply

PXS8 needs to be connected to a power supply at the SMT application interface - 6 lines each BATT+ and GND. There are three separate voltage domains for BATT+:

• BATT+_PA1 with 2 lines for the first power amplifier supply

• BATT+_PA2 with 2 lines for the second power amplifier supply

• BATT+ with 2 lines for the general power management. The main power supply from an external application has to be a single voltage source and has

to be expanded to three sub paths (star structure). Capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the BATT+ pads. Figure 2 shows two sample circuits (minimum requirement and recommended alternative) for decoupling capacitors for BATT+.

The power supply of PXS8 must be able to provide the peak current during the uplink transmission.

All key functions for supplying power to the device are handled by the power managemen t IC. It provides the following features:

• Stabilizes the supply voltages for the baseband using switching regulators and low drop lin- ear voltage regulators.

• Switches the module's power voltages for the power-up and -down procedures.

• Delivers, across the VEXT line, a regulated voltage for an external application. This voltage is not available in Power-down mode and can be reduced via AT command to save power

• SIM switch to provide SIM power supply.

3.3 USB Interface

PXS8 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 PXS8 is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0”

3.4 Serial Interface ASC0

PXS8 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).

PXS8 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 4: 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/CDMA 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. See [1] for details on h ow to configure the RING0 line by AT^SCFG.

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

• ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 9600bps up to 921600bps.

• Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control.

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

Note. If the ASC0 serial interface is the application’s only interface, it is suggested to connect test points on the USB signal lines as a potential tracing possibility.

3.5 UICC/SIM/USIM Interface

PXS8 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 PXS8 and is part of the Cinterion reference equipment submitted for type approval. See Chapter 9 for Molex ordering numbers.

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 PXS8.

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 PXS8.

The total cable length between the SMT application interface pads on PXS8 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 the GND line to shield the CCIO line from the CCCLK line.

PXS8 has an analog audio interface with a balanced analog microphone input and a balanced analog earpiece output. A supply voltage and an analog ground connection are provided at dedicated lines.

PXS8 offers eight audio modes which can be selected with the AT^SNFS command. The electrical characteristics of the voiceband part vary with the audio mode. For example, sending and receiving amplification, sidetone paths, noise suppression etc. depend on the selected mode and can in parts be altered with AT commands (except for mode 1).

When shipped from factory, all audio parameters of PXS8 are set to audio mode 1. This is the default configuration optimised for the Votronic HH-SI-30.3/V1.1/0 handset and used for type approving the Cinterion Wireless Modules reference configuration. Audio mode 1 has fix parameters which cannot be modified. To adjust the settings of the Votronic handset simply change to another audio mode.

It has been defined and controlled by the USbased 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, th e 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.

By default, the GNSS receiver is switched off. It has to be switched on and configured using AT commands. For more information on how to control the GNSS interface via the AT command AT^SGPSC see [1].

The PXS8 GSM/UMTS/CDMA antenna interface comprises a main GSM/UMTS/CDMA antenna as well as an optional UMTS/CDMA Rx diversity antenna to improve signal reliability and quality match at the antenna interface 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. Matching networks are not included on the PXS8 PCB and should be placed in the host application, if the antenna does not have an impedance of 50

Regarding the return loss PXS8 provides the following values in the active band:

5.1.1 Antenna Installation

The antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pads and their neighboring ground pads directly to the application’s PCB.

The distance between the antenna pads and their neighboring GND pads has been optimized for best possible impedance. To prevent mismatch, special attention should be paid to these pads on the application’ PCB.

The wiring of the antenna connection, starting from the antenna p ad to the application’s ante nna 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.

5.2 GNSS Antenna Interface

In addition to the RF antenna interface PXS8 also has a GNSS antenna interface. The GNSS antenna installation and connector are the same as for the RF antenna interface (see Section

5.1.1). For use with GPS and GLONASS it is recommended to use a GPS and GLONASS ca-

pable antenna. It is possible to connect active or passive GNSSS antennas. In either case they must have 50

Ohm impedance. The simultaneous operation of GSM/CDMA and GNSS has been implemented.

PXS8 provides the supply voltage VGNSS for the GNSS active antenna (3.05V). It has to be enabled by software when the GNSS receiver shall becomes active, otherwise VGNSS should be off (power saving). VGNSS is not short circuit protected. This will have to be provided for by an external application. The DC voltage should be fed back via ANT_GNSS_DC for coupling into the GNSS antenna path. Figure 6 shows the flexibility in realizing the power supp ly for an active GNSS antenna by giving two sample circuits realizing the supply voltage for an active GNSS antenna - one with short circuit protection and one with an external LDO employed.

7 Sample Application

Figure 10 shows a typical example of how to integrate an PXS8 module with an application.

The audio interface demonstrates the balanced connection of microphone and earpiece. This solution is particularly well suited for internal transducers.

The PWR_IND line is an open collector that needs an external pull-up resistor which connects to the voltage supply VCC µC of the microcontroller. Low state of the open collector pulls the PWR_IND signal low and indicates that the PXS8 module is active, high level notifies the Power-down mode.

If the module is in Power-down mode avoid current flowing from any other source into the module circuit, for example reverse current from high state external control lines. Therefore, the controlling application must be designed to prevent reverse flow. If an external level controller is required, this can be done by using for example a 5V I/O tolerant buffer/driver like a "74AVC4T245" with OE

(Output Enable) controlled by PWR_IND.

While developing SMT applications it is strongly recommended to provide test points for certain signals resp. 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.

Disclaimer: No warranty, either stated or implied, is provided on the sample schematic diagram shown in

Figure 10 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 PXS8 modules.
