5.8 Power Up and Host Boot Mechanism

The main power management function is performed by Power management IC (Atlas), which receives its voltage input from the PCIe interface. 3.3V on PCIe interface supplies power to PMIC. Atlas manages all data card power.
When power is applied to the data card, the W3G ROM will attempt to enumerate with the host. If the host if not ready, it will try again to enumerate with the host every 3 seconds. After successful enumeration, the host will download bootloader to the device. After the download, the bootloader will re-enumerate as flash interface. The firmware application is sent to the bootloader which downloads it to RAM and runs. The firmware application will then enumerate with 2 ACM interfaces and 2 ECM interfaces. Description of the interfaces is provided in section 8.1.2

7. Data Card Interfaces

7.1.1 PCIe Interface

HTM1200 connects with netbook, notebook or MID using PCIe interface. HTM1200 uses USB interface on PCIe interface. Electrically the PCI Express card will be seen as a USB device since it uses standard USB2.0 connection. Power is supplied by motherboard. A SIM connector must be provided on the host device for user authentication.
A Radio disable (W_Disable) signal is connected from PC to the card; this allows the user to be able to power down or power up the data card. The card controls one of the PC’s LED to indicate RF activity has been disabled or enabled.
To summarize main characteristics of PCIe are as follows:
Standard USB interface
3.3V power supply from motherboard is used. Voltage should be with in ±9%
of 3.3V.
Max current in worst case scenario is 1.1A averaged over 1sec, 2.75A
averaged over 100µs.
W_DISABLE is used to power down and power up HTM1200.
PC WWAN LED is controlled by HTM1200.

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 modem is not a standalone transceiver but is an integrated module, the modem 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.
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 and Class B digital apparatus requirements for ICES-003. 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).
The external label on the host device must include the following FCC ID information: "This device contains TX FCC ID: IHDT56LV3"
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:
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:
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
Preface
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.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
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 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
Antenna Installation
The antenna installation must provide a minimum separation distance of 20 cm from users
and nearby persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Antenna installation should be done by a professional installer and should meet all FCC
requirement as given in FCC part 15.
The combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed +2.6 dBi (850 band). The
combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed +3.0 dBi and total system output must not exceed 2.0W of 24.232 (b). OEM installers must be provided with antenna installation instruction and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
P in the PCS (1900) band in order to comply with the EIRP limit
EIR
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.
