Regulatory Requirements
Regulatory Requirements
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires application for certification of digital
devices in accordance with CFR Title 47, Part 2 and Part 15. This includes MPE calculation. As
the G30 modem is not a standalone transceiver but is an integrated module, the G30 cannot be
tested by itself for EME certification. It is, however, the integrator’s responsibility to have the
completed device tested for EME certification.
Caution: Unauthorized repairs or modifications could result in permanent damage to the
equipment and void your warranty and your authority to operate this device under
Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Regulatory Statement (Safety)
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage,
service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating the G30 module. 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. Motorola assumes no liability for customer failure
to comply with these precautions.
• G30 module should not be assembled when voltage is supplied (applicable for 70 pin
connector model only)
• G30 module must be operated at the voltages described in the technical documentation
• G30 module must not be mechanically nor electrically changed. Use of connectors should
follow the guidance of the technical documentation
• G30 module is designed to meet the EMC requirements of EN 301 489-07
• When integrating the G30 module into a system, Motorola recommends testing the system to
EN 301 489-07
• You must not remove any label from the G30 module
• Systems using the G30 module are subject to mandatory EMC/RF/Safety (including EME)
testing under R&TTE directive 1999/5/EC (to://www.newapproach.org/Directives/). Other
directives, such, 2002/95/EC (RoHS), WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC should also apply to a
system using the G30 module.
FCC Notice to Users
Motorola has not approved any changes or modifications to this device by the user. Any changes
or modifications could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. See 47 CFR Sec. 15.21.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. See 47 CFR
Sec. 15.19(3).
If your mobile device or accessory has a USB connector, or is otherwise considered a computer
peripheral device whereby it can be connected to a computer for purposes of transferring data,
then it is considered a Class B device and the following statement applies:

Preface
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Precautions
Interface connector and some of the module circuits are not shielded. Be sure to take appropriate
precautionary measures in order to avoid ESD while handling the module. ESD can damage the
G30 modules. Integrators need to design ESD protection on all external interfaces.
Antenna and Transmission Safety Precautions
User Operation
Do not operate your unit when a person is within 8 inches (20 centimeters) of the antenna. A
person or object within 8 inches (20 centimeters) of the antenna could impair call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than necessary.
Important: The unit must be installed in a manner that provides a minimum separation distance
of 20 cm or more between the antenna and persons and must not be co-located or
operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter to satisfy FCC RF
exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices.
Important: To comply with the FCC RF exposure limits and satisfy the categorical exclusion
requirements for mobile transmitters, the requirements described in the following
section, “Antenna Installation” , must be met.

Standards
Section 15.203 - Antenna Requirements
An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the
responsible party shall be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of
an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to
comply with the provisions of this Section. The manufacturer may design the unit so that a
broken antenna can be replaced by the user, but the use of a standard antenna jack or electrical
connector is prohibited. This requirement does not apply to carrier current devices or to de-vices
operated under the provisions of Sections 15.211, 15.213, 15.217, 15.219, or 15.221. Further, this
requirement does not apply to intentional radiators that must be professionally installed, such as
perimeter protection systems and some field disturbance sensors, or to other intentional radiators
which, in accordance with Section 15.31(d), must be measured at the installation site. However,
the installer shall be responsible for ensuring that the proper antenna is employed so that the
limits in this Part are not exceeded.

xxii G30 - Module Hardware Description December 15, 2009
Chapter 1: Introduction
The G30 is the newest member of Motorola's embedded cellular modules family.
Designed with quad band GSM capabilities, which supports four GSM bands 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, and with GPRS multislot class 10, G30 can operate on any
GSM/GPRS/EGPRS network to provide voice and data communications.
The G30 is similar to a condensed cellular phone core, which can be integrated into any system or
product that needs to transfer voice or data information over a cellular network. Thus, it
significantly enhances the system's capabilities, transforming it from a standalone, isolated
product to a powerful high-performance system with global communications capabilities.
The G30 is designed as a complete GSM communications solution with all the controls,
interfaces and features to support a broad range of applications:
• A powerful audio interface
• A large set of indicators and control signals
• Several advanced power-saving modes
• A variety of serial communications solutions.
All these features and interfaces are easily controlled and configured using a versatile AT
command interface that provides full control over the G30 operation.
The G30 comes with several hardware configurations (models) that gives the development
engineer the option to select the best cost effective solution for their application.
The hardware configuration is the combination of the following factors:
• User interface: 81 pin LGA interface for solder mounting, or 70 pin connector interface with
screw mounting
• Memory: 64Mb/16Mb or 128Mb/32Mb Flash/PSRAM internal memory
• RF Interface: U.FL connector or SMT pad (part of the LGA module)
• SIM interface: External SIM card interface, or internal Embedded SIM (eSIM)
The G30 series was designed for Zero time, Zero effort integration, getting you to market faster
than ever. The G30 features both an 81 pin LGA interface form factor and an optional 70-pin B2B
connector for various design possibilities. The optional connectorized platform maintains the
same mounting design as the award winning G24 module, so you can leverage the G30’s rich
feature set but remain with your connectorized design. The G30 Series also shares a unified
software interface with the G24 family, including compatible AT commands and TCP/IP stacks.

Power Supply
Power Supply
The G30 power supply must be a single external DC voltage source of 3.3V to 4.2V. The power
supply must be able to sustain the voltage level during a GSM transmit burst current surge, which
may reach 2.0A.
The G30 interface contacts for the main power supply, are described in Table 2-2. All these
contacts must be used for proper operation.

Power Supply Design
Special care must be taken when designing the power supply of the G30. The single external DC
power source indirectly supplies all the digital and analog interfaces, but also directly supplies the
RF power amplifier (PA). Therefore, any degradation in the power supply performance, due to
losses, noises or transients, will directly affect the G30 performance.
The burst-mode operation of the GSM transmission and reception, draws instantaneous current
surges from the power supply, which causes temporary voltage drops of the power supply level.
The transmission bursts consume the most instantaneous current, and therefore cause the largest
voltage drop. If the voltage drops are not minimized, the frequent voltage fluctuations may
degrade the G30 performance.
12 G30 - Module Hardware Description December 15, 2009
Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
Figure 2-2 illustrates the power supply behavior during GSM transmission.
Figure 2-2: Transmission Power Drops
Note: 1 TX slot is shown.
It is recommended that the voltage drops during a transmit burst will not exceed 300mV,
measured on the G30 interface connector. In any case, the G30 supply input must not drop below
the minimum operating level during a transmit burst. Dropping below the minimum operating
level may result in a low voltage detection, which will initiate an automatic power-off.
To minimize the losses and transients on the power supply lines, it is recommended to follow
these guidelines:
• Use a 1000 uF, or greater, low ESR capacitor on the G30 supply inputs. The capacitor should
be located as near to the G30 interface connector as possible.
• Use low impedance power source, cabling and board routing.
• Use cabling and routing as short as possible.
• Filter the G30 supply lines using filtering capacitors, as described in Table 2-3.

Power On/Off Operation
The G30 power on and off process includes two primary phases, which are indicated at the
interface connector by the hardware input signal RESET_IN, and the output signal CTS.
The RESET_IN is usually an input signal to the G30, and its main function is to initiate HW reset
to the G30. However, this signal can also serve as "live indication" signal, and indicate whether
G30 is powered on or off.
Note: When RESET_IN is used as "Live Indication", verify that the signal is connected to an
input device (via a input buffer), with NO pull-up or pull-down resistors.
When this signal is enabled (low), G30 is powered-off. When it is disabled (high), G30 is
powered-on.
The CTS signal indicates the serial communications interface (UART) status. When this signal is
high, the G30 serial interface is disabled. When it is low, the serial interface is enabled, and G30
is ready to communicate.
When G30 is powered on, and after the CTS is enabled (Low), The G30 initiates an unsolicited
"Wait...At command Ready" massage via the UART serial interface, followed by "+PBREADY"
massage (once all G30 internal tests are done).
For more information, refer to "G30 AT Commands Reference Manual, P/N 6802986C33".
Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
Important: Applying voltage to ADC lines before power up is forbidden and may cause G30
power up issues.
Important: Do not operate the G30 out of its electrical or environmental limits. Refer to the
specifications chapter for details of these limits.
Turning the G30 On
When the G30 power supply is stable above the minimum operating level and G30 is powered
off, only the internal RTC timer is active.
When G30 is turned on, by any of the methods described below, it will first perform an automatic
internal system-test, during which basic functions are verified. The system-test duration is
typically 1600 milliseconds. When the system-test has completed G30 resumes normal operation.
During the internal system-test process G30 may toggle several interface signals, which are
visible to the application. These signals do not represent any valid state or data, and should be
ignored by the customer application until the system-test has completed.
Power Supply Turn-on
When connecting the power supply for the first time, or when reconnecting it after a power
supply loss, G30 will power-on. The G30 is turned-on automatically when external power is
applied above the minimum operating level.
December 15, 2009 G30 - Module Hardware Description 15
Power On/Off Operation
Figure 2-3 illustrates the G30 power on upon application of a power supply.
Figure 2-3: Power Supply Turn-on
Turning the G30 On Using PWR_ON
The PWR_ON input signal is set high by an internal pull-up resistor whenever a power supply is
applied to G30. Therefore, it is recommended to operate this signal using an open collector/drain
circuit connection.
Asserting the PWR_ON signal low for a minimum of 600 milliseconds (0.6 seconds) and a
maximum of 1.5 seconds will cause the G30 to turn-on.
Asserting the PWR_ON signal low for more than 1.5 seconds may cause the G30 to interpret the
signal as a power-off command, and turn off immediately after turning on.
Figure 2-4 illustrates the power-on process using the PWR_ON signal.
Figure 2-4: PWR_ON Power On Timing
Turning the G30 Off
There are several ways to turn the G30 off:
• Asserting the PWR_ON signal low for a minimum of 3 seconds.
• Low power automatic shut down.
• AT command.
16 G30 - Module Hardware Description December 15, 2009
Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
Turning the G30 Off Using PWR_ON
The PWR_ON signal is set high using an internal pull up resistor when power is applied to G30.
Asserting the PWR_ON signal low for a minimum of 3 seconds will turn G30 off. This will
initiate a normal power-off process, which includes disabling of all applications interfaces
(UART, SIM card, audio, etc.) and closing the network connection.
Figure 2-5 illustrates the power-off timings when using the PWR_ON signal.
Figure 2-5: PWR_ON Power Off Timing
Power Loss shut down
A low power shut down occurs when G30 senses the external power supply is below the minimal
operating limit. The module will respond by powering down automatically without notice.
This form of power-down is not recommended for regular use since the unexpected power loss
may result in loss of data.
Turning the G30 Off Using AT+MRST
The AT+MRST command initiates a G30 system reset operation, which powers off the G30. This
command emulates the PWR_ON signal operation for power off.
December 15, 2009 G30 - Module Hardware Description 17
Low Power Mode
Low Power Mode
The G30 incorporates an optional low power mode, called Sleep Mode, in which it operates in
minimum functionality, and therefore draws significantly less current. During low power mode
the G30 network connection is not lost. G30 continues to monitor the GSM network constantly
for any incoming calls or data.
During low power mode, all of the G30 interface signals are inactive and are kept in their
previous state, prior to activating low power mode. To save power, all the G30 internal clocks and
circuits are shut down, and therefore serial communications is limited.
Activating Low Power Mode
By default, the G30 powers on in Idle mode. In this mode the G30 interfaces and features are
functional and the module is fully active.
Low power mode is activated by the ATS24 command. The value set by this command
determines the inactive state duration required by G30, in seconds, after which G30 will enter
sleep mode.
For example:
ATS24 = 1 activates low power mode after 1 second of inactivity.
ATS24 = 5 activates low power mode after 5 seconds of inactivity.
ATS24 = 0 disables low power mode (default).
Figure 2-6 illustrates the ATS24 command operation.
Figure 2-6: ATS24 Operation
Important: G30 will not enter low power mode in any case when there is data present on the
serial interface or incoming from the GSM network or an internal system task is
running. Only when processing of any external or internal system task has
completed, and G30 is inactive for the duration of ATS24, it will enter low power
mode.
Serial Interface During Low Power Mode
During low power mode the G30 serial interfaces are disabled. This is indicated by the CTS
signal high state.
18 G30 - Module Hardware Description December 15, 2009
Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
The G30 wakes up periodically from low power mode to page the GSM network for any
incoming calls or data. After this short paging is completed, G30 returns to low power mode.
During this short awake period, the serial interfaces are enabled and communications with the
module is possible.
The CTS signal is alternately enabled and disabled synchronously with the network paging cycle.
CTS is enabled whenever G30 awakes to page the network. This indicates the G30 serial
interfaces are active (see Figure 2-7).
Figure 2-7: CTS Signal During Sleep Mode
The periodical enabling and disabling of the CTS signal during low power mode can be
controlled by the AT+MSCTS command.
Setting AT+MSCTS=1 permanently disables the serial interface during low power mode, even
during a network page by G30. The CTS signal is disabled, and therefore the serial interfaces are
blocked.
Terminating Low Power Mode
Terminating the low power mode, or wake-up, is defined as the transition of the G30 operating
state from Sleep mode to Idle mode. There are several ways to wake-up G30 from low power
mode as described below.
Important: During power saving mode the G30 internal clocks and circuits are disabled, in
order to minimize power consumption. When terminating the power saving mode,
and switching to Idle mode, G30 requires a minimal delay time to reactivate and
stabilize its internal circuits before it can respond to application data.
This delay is typically of TBD milliseconds, and is also indicated by the CTS
signal inactive (high) state. The delay guarantees that data on the serial interface is
not lost or misinterpreted.
December 15, 2009 G30 - Module Hardware Description 19
Low Power Mode
Temporary Termination of Low Power Mode
Temporary termination of low power mode occurs when G30 switches from Sleep mode to Idle
mode for a defined period, and then returns automatically to Sleep mode.
Low power mode may be terminated temporarily by several sources, some of which are user
initiated and others are initiated by the system.
Using the WKUPI signal
The WKUPI signal is an active low input, that is set high by default. By asserting this signal low
the application can wake-up G30 from low power mode and switch to Idle mode.
G30 will remain in Idle mode, awake and fully active, as long as WKUPI signal remains low.
When this signal is disabled and set high again, G30 will return to Sleep mode automatically,
according to the ATS24 settings (see Figure 2-8).
Figure 2-8: WKUPI Signal Operation
The WKUPI signal is the recommended method to temporarily wake-up G30 from low power
mode. It provides the application full control of the G30 operating mode and guarantees that data
on the serial interface will not be lost or misinterpreted.
The WKUPI signal must be used to wake up G30 from low power mode if the serial interface has
been disabled by the AT+MSCTS command.
Incoming Network Data
During low power mode, G30 continues monitoring the GSM network for any incoming data,
message or voice calls.
When G30 receives an indication from the network that an incoming voice call, message or data
is available, it automatically wakes up from low power mode to alert the application. When G30
has completed to process all the tasks related to the incoming data, it will automatically return to
low power mode according to the ATS24 settings.
Depending on the type of network indication and the application settings, G30 may operate in
several methods, which are configurable by AT commands, to alert the application of the
incoming data:
• Enable the WKUPO signal to wake-up the application from low power.
• Send data to the application over the serial interface.
• Enable the serial interface's Ring Indicator (RI) signal.
20 G30 - Module Hardware Description December 15, 2009
Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
Data on the Serial interface
While G30 is temporarily awake in Idle mode, data may be transmitted on the serial interface. In
case data is being transmitted in any direction, G30 will not return to low power mode. This is
regardless of the original wake-up reason or source. G30 will remain awake while data is
transferred.
Only when the serial interface transfer is completed and the data has been processed, G30 will
return to low power mode automatically, according to the ATS24 settings (see Figure 2-9).
Figure 2-9: Serial Interface Data
Permanent termination of Low Power Mode
The G30 low power mode is enabled and disabled by the ATS24 command.
To permanently terminate the G30 low power mode, the ATS24 = 0 command must be used.
Setting ATS24 = 0 disables the currently active low power mode and switches G30 to Idle mode.
G30 will not return to low power mode until an ATS24 > 0 commands is set again.
This command can be sent only when the serial interface is active.
In case the serial interface is disabled, it must first be activated before sending this command. To
reactivate the serial interface, a temporary termination of the low power mode is required, as
described in “Temporary Termination of Low Power Mode” on page 20.
Following the temporary low power mode termination, the serial interface will activate and the
ATS24 = 0 command can be received by G30.
December 15, 2009 G30 - Module Hardware Description 21
Real Time Clock
Real Time Clock
G30 incorporates a Real Time Clock (RTC) mechanism that performs many internal functions,
one of which is keeping time. The RTC subsystem is embedded in the PMU and operates in all of
the G30 operating modes (Off, RTC, Idle, Sleep), as long as power is supplied above the
minimum operating level.
The G30 time and date can be set using the following methods:
• Automatically retrieved from the GSM network.
In case G30 is operated in a GSM network that supports automatic time zone updating, it will
update the RTC with the local time and date upon connection to the network. The RTC will
continue to keep the time from that point.
• Using the AT+CCLK command.
Setting the time and date manually by this AT commands overrides the automatic network
update.
Once the time and date are manually updated, the RTC timer will keep the time and date
synchronized regardless of the G30 operating state.
When the power supply is disconnected from G30 and no voltage is supplied to the VRTC pin,
the RTC timer will reset and the current time and date will be lost. On the next G30 power-up the
time and date will need to be set again automatically or manually.
Note: A 47uF capacitor should be connected between ground and VRTC signal (pin 62 of the
81-pin LGA interface/pin 60 of the 70-pin connector).
22 G30 - Module Hardware Description December 15, 2009
Serial Interfaces
G30 includes three completely independent serial communications interfaces, which may be used
by the application for several purposes.
UART
The G30 UART is a standard 8-signal bus. The primary UART is used for all the communications
with G30 - AT commands interface, GPRS data and CSD data, programming and software
upgrades.
The UART signals are active low CMOS level signals. For standard RS232 communications with
a PC, an external transceiver is required.
G30 is defined as a DCE device, and the user application is defined as the DTE device. These
definitions apply for the UART signals naming conventions, and the direction of data flow, as
described in Figure 2-10.
Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
Figure 2-10: UART Interface Signals
The G30 UART supports baud rates 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600,
115200, and 230400 bps.
Auto baud rate detection is supported for baud rates up to 230400 bps.
All flow control handshakes are supported: hardware, software, or none.
Parity bit and Stop bit definitions are also supported.
The UART default port configuration is 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity, with hardware flow
control and auto baud rate detect enabled.
Important: The G30 UART will not send data over the serial interface in case the DTR and/or
RTS input signals are disabled (set high). Therefore, regardless of the handshake
method, it is still required to enable these signals for proper operation, by asserting
them low.
December 15, 2009 G30 - Module Hardware Description 23
Serial Interfaces
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The G30 provides a synchronous SPI-compatible serial interface, implemented with the
synchronous serial controller hardware block of the G30. The SPI is a master-slave protocol: the
module runs as a SPI master device.
The SPI interface includes basically the following signals to transmit and receive data and to
synchronize them:
• MOSI (master output, slave input) signal which is an output for the module while it runs as
SPI master;
• MISO (master input, slave output) signal which is an input for the module while it runs as
SPI master;
• Clock signal which is an output for the module while it runs as SPI master;
• Optional chip select signal which is an output for the module while it runs as SPI master.
Note: The SPI interface is internally connected to the I
controlled by means of software settings. Hence SPI interface is available only if the I
digital audio interface is disabled.
The SPI interface can be used as a data event logger by connecting SPI signals to an external
SPI-UART dedicated interface, and enabling the data logging interface by SW.

External SIM Card
G30 does not incorporate an on-board SIM card tray for SIM placement. The external SIM must
be located on the user application board, external to the G30. The G30 SIM interface includes all
the necessary signals, which are routed to the interface connector, for a direct and complete
connection to an external SIM.
G30 supports dynamic detection of the SIM card, through a dedicated SIM detection signal. G30
will detect a SIM card insertion or removal upon power up or during operation by the transitions
on the SIM_PD_N signal.

Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
External SIM Connection
Figure 2-11 illustrates a typical external SIM interface connection to G30. This connection type is
implemented on the G30 Developer Board, using an FCI SIM tray, PN 7111S1615A05.
Figure 2-11: G30 External SIM Interface
External SIM Design Guidelines
The SIM interface and signals design is extremely important for proper operation of G30 and the
SIM card. There are several design guidelines that must be followed to achieve a robust and
stable design that meets the required standards and regulations.
• Using the SIM detection signal, SIM_PD_N, is mandatory in case the SIM card is accessible
to the user and may be removed during G30 operation. To avoid any damage to the SIM or
G30, the SIM interface signals must be deactivated before the SIM card contacts are
mechanically removed from the SIM tray contacts. Therefore, the SIM_PD_N detection
signal must be disabled before the SIM is removed from its tray.
• The SIM should be located, and its signals should be routed, away from any possible EMI
sources, such as the RF antenna and digital switching signals.
• The SIM interface signals length should not exceed 100 mm between the G30 interface
connector and the SIM tray. This is to meet with EMC regulations and improve signal
integrity.
• To avoid crosstalk between the SIM clock and data signals (SIM_CLK and SIM_DIO), it is
recommended to rout them separately on the application board, and preferably isolated by a
surrounding ground plane.
• The SIM card signals should be protected from ESD using very low capacitance protective
elements (zener diodes, etc.).
• The G30 interface does not support SIM programming through the VPP signal. This signal
should not be connected to G30.
December 15, 2009 G30 - Module Hardware Description 27
SIM Interface
Embedded SIM
The G30 incorporates an Embedded SIM (depending on G30 model).
Embedded SIM (e.g. eSIM or chip SIM), is a secured micro controller IC, with the same pinout
interface, and the same operation as an external SIM card.
The eSIM main advantage is it robustness, making it an ideal solution for the M2M, and
automotive application.
Since an eSIM is actually an IC soldered on the G30, it can withstand wider temperature range
than a regular external SIM card that is usually made of plastic, and gets twisted and bowed at
high temperature, causing disconnection inside the SIM tray.
For the same reason, the eSIM is more durable to vibration then a regular external SIM card. Hard
vibration on an application with a SIM card socket may result in with an intermitted connection
between the SIM card socket and the SIM card.
Note: When Embedded SIM is used, it is recommended to connect the SIM_PD_n signal to
ground. However, in case the SIM detection is disabled by SW (+MSMPD command),
this signal can be left disconnected.
eSIM Connection
Figure 2-12 illustrates a typical eSIM interface connection to G30.
Figure 2-12: G30 eSIM Interface
Note: When Embedded SIM is used, SIM_RST signal must be connected to eSIM_RESET
signal via an optional 0 ohm resistor.

Audio Interface
The G30 audio interface supports several audio devices and operating modes.
The audio interface's operating modes, active devices, amplification levels and speech processing
algorithms are fully controlled by the host application, through advanced programming options
and a versatile AT commands set.
The G30 supports the following audio devices:
• Two single-ended and biased mono analog microphone inputs for use in a variety of modes.
• A single differential mono analog speaker output for use in a variety of modes.
• A digital serial interface using I
• A single-ended mono analog speaker output for use in a variety of modes.

Headset Detection
The G30 operates by default in the basic audio mode with the differential speaker (handset) audio
path, for DTMF tones, speech, rings, and alert tones active.
The headset (mono speaker) path is an alternate audio path in basic mode. It is designed for, but
not limited to, a personal hands-free audio device, a headset, using the headset microphone input
device and the headset speaker output device. When this path is selected, the differential speaker
is disabled, and all the audio sounds are passed through to the headset path.
The HDST_INT signal is used to switch between handset and headset audio paths in basic audio
mode. This signal is set high by default at power up. Asserting the HDST_INT signal low enables
the headset audio path and disables the handset path. Setting this signal high will disable the
headset path and enable the handset path.
The G30 supports dynamic switching between the handset and headset audio paths, during
operation and call handling.
Important: The HDST_INT signal does not operate in advanced audio mode. This signal's
functionality is overridden by the AT+MAPATH command settings.

Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
Digital Audio Interface
The G30 digital audio interface is a serial Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) bus, which uses linear
2's compliment coding. G30 is the PCM bus master, supplying the clock and sync signals to the
application.
The G30 digital interface is a 4 signal PCM bus, which includes a bit clock output signal for the
bus timing, a frame sync output signal for audio sampling timing, and serial data input and output
signals.
Important: The PCM bus signals are shared internally by the analog audio interface and the
digital audio interface. Therefore, when using the analog audio interface the PCM
bus signals must be tri-stated or disconnected at the interface connector.
The digital audio interface supports 2 types of audio data formats, which define the PCM bus
configuration and data rates:
• Normal I
• PCM mode.
The PCM bus configuration is defined by the audio data format that is sounded through the digital
audio path, as described in Table 2-12.

Audio Interface
• PCM_FS - 8 kHz bit-wide frame-sync
• PCM_DOUT - 16-bit linear audio data output
• PCM_DIN - 16-bit linear audio data input
The 16-bit serial data is transferred in both directions after each sync signal's falling edge. The
sync signal pulse duration is two clock periods, after which the serial data is transferred in both
directions for 16 consecutive clock periods.
Following the 16-bit data transfer, the serial input and output data signals inactivate until the next
sync pulse, which occurs every 125 µS (8 kHz). It is recommended the serial data signals will be
High-Z during the inactive period.
Figure 2-19 illustrates the PCM bus format of the voiceband audio configuration.

Operating Modes
The G30 audio interface includes 2 modes of operation. Each operating mode defines the audio
input and output devices to be used for each audio sound type and their programmable settings.
Basic Mode
Basic audio mode is the G30 default power-up audio configuration. Several audio paths are
available in this mode, and their settings can be programmed through the AT command set.
Table 2-13 describes the available audio paths in Basic mode.

Advanced Mode
Advanced audio mode utilizes G30's unique set of AT commands for advanced audio
programming. The expanded AT command set enables to define a specific audio path and setting,
which are not part of the default configuration, for each type of audio sound (speech, DTMF
tones, rings and alerts).
Unlike basic audio mode, which provides predefined audio paths, the advanced audio mode
provides full control over the G30 audio interface and its parameters, and differentiates between
each type of audio sound.
Table 2-14 describes the advanced mode audio programming features. These features are only a
part of the complete advanced audio AT command set.

controls the following audio features:
• Audio Path - Defines the input and output devices for speech, DTMF tones, rings and alerts.
• Audio Gain - Defines the amplification (gain) level for input and output audio devices.
• Audio Algorithm - Defines the speech processing features for voice calls.

Description
Audio Design
The audio quality delivered by G30 is highly affected by the application audio design,
particularly when using the analog audio interface. Therefore, special care must be taken when
designing the G30 audio interface. Improper design and implementation of the audio interface
will result in poor audio quality.
Poor audio quality is a result of electrical interferences, or noises, from circuits surrounding the
audio interface. There are several possible sources for the audio noise:
• Transients and losses on the power supply
• EMI from antenna radiations
• Digital logic switching noise
Most of the audio noise originates from the GSM transmit burst current surges (217 Hz TDMA
buzz), which appear on the main power supply lines and antenna, but also indirectly penetrate the
internal application's supplies and signals. The noises are transferred into the G30's audio circuits
through the microphone input signals and then are amplified by the G30's internal audio
amplifiers.
To minimize the audio noise and improve the audio performance the microphone and speaker
signals must be designed with sufficient protection from surrounding noises.
The following guidelines should be followed to achieve best audio performance:
• Reference the microphone input circuits to the G30 AGND interface signal.
• If using single-ended audio outputs, they should be referenced to the G30 AGND interface
signal.
• Keep the audio circuits away from the antenna.
• Use RF filtering capacitors on the audio signals, as described in Table 2-3.
• The audio signals should not be routed adjacent to digital signals.
December 15, 2009 G30 - Module Hardware Description 39
Audio Interface
• Isolate the audio signals by a surrounding ground plane or shields.
• Filter internal supplies and signals that may indirectly affect the audio circuits, from noises
and voltage drops.
Analog Ground
The G30 interface incorporates a dedicated analog ground contacts, AGND pads 52, 54 (of the 81
pin LGA interface), which are internally connected to the G30's ground. The AGND signal is
intended to provide a separate ground connection for the application's external audio devices and
circuits.
This signal provides an isolated ground connection directly from G30, which is separated from
the noisy digital ground of the application. It is recommended to connect this signal to analog
audio devices and circuits used by the application. Using a separate analog ground minimizes
audio noises and improves the audio circuit's immunity from external interferences.
40 G30 - Module Hardware Description December 15, 2009
A/D Interface
The G30 includes 3 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) signals with 12-bit resolution, for
environmental and electrical measurements. The ADC signals measure an analog DC voltage
level on their inputs which is converted to a 12-bit digital value for further processing by G30 or
the user application.
The A/D signals operation and reporting mechanism is defined by the AT+MMAD command.
Each A/D can be defined to provide several reports:
• A single measurement.
• An automatic periodical measurement.
• An automatic periodical measurement with predefined limits.
Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
A single A/D measurement will take place and will be reported upon activation of the AT
command.
The A/D measures its input signal at a rate that is defined by the user application. Every
measurement will generate an unsolicited message over the serial interface.
The A/D measures its input signal at a rate that is defined by the user. The user also defines
upper and/or lower limits for the A/D measurements. Each measurement is compared to
these limits, and an unsolicited message is generated only if these limits are exceeded.
Important: In case the defined periodical measurement rate is equal to, or shorter than, the
defined sleep mode delay settings (ATS24), G30 will not enter low power mode.
Important: Applying voltage to ADC lines before power up is forbidden and may cause G30
power up issues.
Power Supply A/D
The main power supply (VCC) is constantly monitored internally by the G30 through a dedicated
A/D signal, which is not accessible on the interface connector.
The measured VCC level can be read and monitored by the user application through the
AT+MMAD command, which returns the measured VCC level in Volts times 100.
For example, a measured supply level of 3.65 Volts will be presented as 365 by the MMAD
command.
December 15, 2009 G30 - Module Hardware Description 41
A/D Interface
Important: During GSM transmissions the power supply may suffer voltage drops. This can
cause frequent and wide changes in the power supply A/D measurements. This
should be taken into account when designing and operating the G30 power supply
A/D interface.
Table 2-17 gives the supply A/D specifications.

General Purpose A/D
The G30 provides 2 general purpose A/D (GPAD) signals for customer application use. Each A/D
signal can monitor a separate external voltage and report its measured level independently to the
application, through the AT command interface.
The GPAD signals measure a DC voltage level of 0 - 1.92 V, which is converted internally to a
12-bit digital value. The user application can monitor the A/D voltage level through the
AT+MMAD command, which returns the measured DC level in Volts times 100.
For example, a measured analog DC level of 1.75 Volts will be presented as 175 by the MMAD
command.

Reset
To reset the module, RESET_IN must be used (see Tab le 2 -19). This pin performs an external
reset, also called hardware reset. Driving the RESET_IN pin low causes an asynchronous reset of
the entire device except for the Real Time Clock block (RTC). The device then enters its
power-on reset sequence.
Note: As an external reset input, it is recommended that RESET_IN signal will be connected
via a push button, or an open-drain transistor, or an open-collector transistor. In this way,
when RESET_IN signal is not used, It will be at High-Z state. In any case, it is forbidden
to connect this signal directly to any input voltage level.
VREF Reference Regulator
The G30 incorporates a regulated voltage output, VREF. The regulator provides a 2.85V output
for use by the customer application. This regulator can source up to 30 mA of current to power
any external digital circuits.
44 G30 - Module Hardware Description December 15, 2009
Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
Important: The VREF regulator is powered from the G30's main power supply, and therefore
any current sourced through this regulator originates from the G30 VCC supply.
The overall VCC current consumed by G30 is directly affected by the VREF
operation. The G30 current consumption rises with respect to the current sourced
through VREF.
Table 2-20 gives the VREF specifications.

VRTC
The G30 incorporates a real time block and is operated by the VRTC power located on pin 62 of
the 81-pin LGA interface, or pin 60 of the 70-pin connector interface. For detailed explanation,
refer to “Real Time Clock” on page 22.
Note: A 47uF capacitor should be connected between ground and VRTC signal (pin 62 of the
81-pin LGA interface/pin 60 of the 70-pin connector).
Wakeup Out
Some applications incorporate their own power saving mode, in which they operate with minimal
functionality, including disabling of interfaces and serial communications.
The wakeup-out (WKUPO) signal is an active low output, which is designed to support a low
power mode feature in the host application. This signal is used by G30 to indicate that it requires
to communicate with the host application through the serial interface, due to an incoming call or
data, or an unsolicited event. Applications that incorporate a low power mode should use this
signal as an indication to switch from low power mode to normal operation, and activate the serial
interface.
The wakeup-out mechanism, using the WKUPO signal, is controlled by 2 AT commands (see
Figure 2-21):
• ATS102 - Defines the delay time in milliseconds that G30 will wait, after asserting the
WKUPO signal low, before sending data on the serial interface. This delay is required to
allow the application enough time to reactivate from low power mode and switch to normal
mode.
If ATS102=0, which is the default value, the WKUPO signal and mechanism is disabled.
December 15, 2009 G30 - Module Hardware Description 45
Controls and Indicators Interface
In case the serial interface incorporates hardware flow control signals, the data will be sent
according to their state, after the ATS102 delay time has expired.
• ATS100 - Defines the application minimal wakeup duration, in seconds, for a single wakeup
event. This time definition is required to avoid frequent unnecessary wakeup events and
consequent ATS102 delays.
The application may return to low power mode after the serial interface has been inactive for
the duration set by ATS100. This duration is measured from the last data sent or received on
the serial interface.
Figure 2-21: WKUPO Operation
The following guidelines apply to the wakeup-out mechanism:
• G30 will set the WKUPO signal low to indicate that in has data to send through the serial
interface.
• G30 will start sending the data to the application after the delay defined by ATS102.
• The WKUPO signal will remain low while data is being sent to the host application.
• The host application should keep its serial interface active, and not switch to low power
mode, while the WKUPO signal is low.
• G30 will set the WKUPO signal high when it has completed sending the data.
• The application serial interface must stay active, and not switch to low power mode, for the
duration set by ATS100, after WKUPO is set high.
• G30 will not set the WKUPO signal low if it needs to send additional data during the
ATS100 delay time.
• The application may switch to low power mode after the WKUPO signal is set high and the
serial interface has been inactive for the duration set by ATS100.
Antenna Detection
The G30 incorporates an internal antenna detection circuit, which senses the physical connection
and removal of an antenna or antenna circuit on the G30 antenna connector. The antenna
detection state is reported to the application through the ANT_DET output signal, and may also
be queried by the ATS97 command.
The detection circuit senses DC resistance to ground on the G30 antenna connector.
46 G30 - Module Hardware Description December 15, 2009
Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description
A DC resistance below 100kohm (+10%) is defined as a valid antenna connection, and the
ANT_DET output signal is set high.
Note: Antenna detect indicator is valid after 2 second from power-up only.
GPRS Detection
The GPRS output signal indicates the network GPRS connection status. When G30 is connected
to a GPRS network, this signal is enabled. When G30 is not connected to the GPRS network this
signal is disabled.
General Purpose I/O
The G30 incorporates 8 general purpose IO signals for the user application. Each GPIO signal
may be configured and controlled by AT command. These signals may be used to control or set
external application circuits, or to receive indications from the external application.
December 15, 2009 G30 - Module Hardware Description 47
Antenna Interface
Antenna Interface
Important: G30 has two basic hardware models that are differ from one another in the antenna
interface.
The first uses antenna interface with a U.FL connector, and the second uses RF B2B
pads in accordance with the table below.
When a U.FL connector module is used, the RF B2B pads are not connected, but the
design guidelines must be followed.
The board to board SMD pad 53 (ANT signal) has an impedance of 50
Ω and it provides the RF
antenna interface (see table below). The two pads close to the ANT pin (pads 52 and 54) are
ground pads and must be used to provide the connection of the RF antenna to the grounding
plane.

Caution: B2B pins 65, 66 are for factory use only. Do not connect. Any use may result in
permanent damage to the module. Special layout design rules must be followed,
refer to “Layout Recommendation” on page 69.
If the module is soldered on a customized board, special care must be taken on the layout design
for the RF antenna pad which needs to be designed for 50
Ω impedance and suitable copper keep
out must be implemented below the RF test point.
The antenna or antenna application must be installed properly to achieve best performance.

It is the Integrator's responsibility to design the antenna or antenna assembly used with the G30.
This will highly affect the RF performance of the G30 (dropped calls, battery consumption etc.).
The following guidelines should be followed:
• Make sure that the antenna or antenna assembly matches the Antenna Interface
Specifications.
• Use low loss RF cable and connectors keeping cable runs to a minimum.

Table 3-13 summarizes the DC electrical specifications of the application interface connector
signals.
Important: Interface signals that are not used by the customer application must be left
unconnected. G30 incorporates the necessary internal circuitry to keep unconnected
signal in their default state. Do not connect any components to, or apply any voltage
on, signals that are not used by the application.
Important: Signals that are defined as "Do Not Use", or DNU, must remain externally
unconnected in any case. These signals are reserved for future use.

The RF mating connector should be a standard U.FL plug connector or cable assembly, which
corresponds to the G30 U.FL connector specifications.
Only Hirose U.FL mating cable may be mated with G30. A family of Hirose mating cables are
available.
Such a cable assembly example is the Hirose U.FL-LP-040 is U.FL-R-SMT, which is illustrated
in Figure 4-7.

G30 Mounting
Note: This section applies to G30 70 pin connector Model only.
The G30 incorporates 2 mechanical holes for installing the module onto the application board.
The holes are 2.4 millimeters in diameter, which accommodates several types of mechanical
elements.
Several mechanical approaches may be applied to mount and fasten G30 to the application board.
Using M2 screws with suitable washers to mount the module onto spacers, a bracket or chassis is
a recommended design.
Special attention must be paid to the area surrounding the G30 mounting holes. A grounding pad
of 4.4 millimeters in diameter surrounds these holes. The diameter and area of this pad must not
be exceeded by any mechanical or electrical element. Several electrical components, which are
not shielded, are located near the holes. These components must not be in contact with the
mounting elements or with other parts of the application board, and care must be taken to avoid
any damage.
Figure 4-8 depict the G30 mounting area.
Figure 4-8: G30 Mounting Area
The holes are used for mechanical mounting of G30 to the application board but also for
grounding support. Using conductive elements to install G30, significantly improves the overall
grounding of the module and therefore improves the G30 performance and stability.
It is required to use screws or other mechanical elements to fasten G30 to the application board,
but it is highly recommended to use conductive elements to improve the module's performance.
The preferred mounting screw head types are:
• "Allen" head with a champer - the best choice.
• "Star" head - good.
• "Philips" head - may cause damage to nearby components.
