4 Hardware Design Guidelines
4.1 General Design Guidelines For Utilizing HS 3001
Modules
The following guidelines are provided in an effort to allow HS 3001 module users to successfully implement
their PCB layout to obtain the best performance. This includes the lowest possible EMI emissions,
maximum thermal conduction, mechanical integrity, and voice quality. The HS 3001 module is a very
compact, high performance design, yet it is easy to interface into the final product. In order to realize its
full potential, designers should pay close attention to ground structures, the routing of RF and Digital
traces, and the size of the power supply lines.
Warning: These design tips are strictly guidelines and are not meant to be a complete
list of items that guarantee actual performance. Each application is different and
may require variation from these guidelines, however, care should be given to utilize
these sound engineering principles whenever possible
4.1.1 Advanced Tips For An RF Friendly Layout
4.1.1.1 Ground Plane
To ensure the lowest possible EMI emissions and maximum thermal conductivity, it is recommended that
all metal tabs on the cellular module shield must be soldered down onto a continuous ground plane that
runs under the entire module. Ample ground vias should be provided around the metal tabs to create a low
impedance ground. It is recommended to minimize the number of I/O and power traces and vias under the
cellular module to allow for as much ground plane as possible. An example of a good ground structure and
pad layout is shown below in Figure 1.
- 15 -
Figure: 8 - Example of good ground plane for CDMA modules
4.1.1.2 Thermal Relief
Because the ground plane acts as a large heat sink, it can affect the solderability of components. A
common method to reduce this effect is to use thermal relief around the pad in question. However, great
care must be taken when using thermal relief for high current or high frequency applications
For example, a large thermal relief like the one shown in Figure 2 can serve the purpose for general
applications such as low current, low speed data lines, DC connections and audio frequency applications.
However, such thermal relief structures should be avoided for applications where high current and/or high
frequency is involved, such as those using the cellular Module. Depending on the frequency of operation,
the long narrow thermal relief traces between the pad and the ground plane act like an RF choke. These RF
chokes become higher impedance at harmonics of the fundamental frequency making it problematic for
high frequency suppression. This can make it difficult to pass type approval testing.
- 16 -
Figure: 9 - Example of a POOR RF Thermal Relief
If thermal relief is necessary, it is recommended that you use short, fat traces similar to those shown in
Figure 3. This will still provide a solderable connection, while providing a better RF connection. Making
them shorter also allows for a more continuous ground plane due to less copper being removed from the
area. It is also recommended to have ground vias around all thermal relief of critical ground pins such as
the five cellular shield tabs.
- 17 -
Figure: 10 - Example of a GOOD RF Thermal Relief
4.1.1.3 Antenna And RF Signal Trace
The PCB trace that feeds the RF output port must be designed for a 50 ohm characteristic impedance,
coplanar, or routed into internal layers to keep the top layer continuous around and underneath the
cellular module. Ample ground vias should be provided around the RF contacts, the RF trace and launch
pad. If possible, keep I/O and power traces away from the RF port. This includes traces running parallel or
orthogonal to it. Thermal relief should not be used on the antenna output port ground pads. The designer
must pay close attention to the size of the pad and thickness of the dielectric beneath the signal pad and
trace. Most PCB manufacturers can adjust the trace width to maintain 50 ohms impedance if the traces
are identified and instructions are included on the FAB drawing. This service is typically provided at no or
minimal additional cost.
For minimum RF emissions due to the fundamental frequency of operation, the cellular module works best
with an antenna load that has a VSWR of 1.5:1 or better. The antenna should not have gain at the harmonic
frequencies, otherwise, the conducted harmonics could get amplified to a point where the product no
longer passes type approval. However, for applications where antenna quality is less than ideal, it is
recommended to have a low pass filter (Pi structure with N=3) in the RF path to the antenna. This is a
secondary plan should there be a need to lower harmonic levels at frequencies above the PCS band. The
- 18 -
pad structure may also be used to match the antenna load impedance, if required. If it is not needed, a
capacitor of low reactance may be used to bridge the Pi structure.
The RF cable going between the cellular module and the antenna is very lossy, therefore, the length of this
cable should be kept as short a possible.
4.1.1.4 VBAT Input
The HS 3001 Vbat input can have a relative high current draw that can fluctuate rapidly, especially when
transmitting at max power and burst mode. The Vbat interface must be designed to provide the required
instantaneous voltage and current with minimal voltage droop. This includes both sufficient bulk
decoupling capacitance as well as adequate layout provisions.
When laying out the connections to the cellular module interface connector, it is tempting to use traces of
the same width as the connector pins. However, this is a very compact connector and traces of that width
will not have sufficient copper. Similar to the discussion on thermal relief, the use of narrow traces to
connect the Vbat pins to the source voltage can act like a high impedance and cause a significant voltage
droop when higher currents are required as shown in Figure 4.
Figure: 11 - Example of Vbat Voltage Droop
- 19 -
If the Vbat drops too low, the cellular modules will reset. To minimize the trace loss, it is suggested to use
a larger trace that spans several pins as shown in Figure 5. Any concern about solderability can be
mitigated by using solder mask with cutouts for the individual pins as shown by the blue lines in the figure.
The layout should provide sufficient trace width over the entire trace from the Enable modules all the way
to the source of the Vbat voltage. Any transitions between layers for this trace should utilize multiple vias.
Since even the best layout will have some impedance from the source to the cellular module, sufficient
bulk decoupling capacitance is required at the Vbat input to the cellular module. It is suggested to use at
least two 1000 uF, low ESR, tantalum capacitors located very close to the cellular interface connector Vbat
pins. Any thermal relief used on these capacitors should comply with the information given above in order
to provide the lowest impedance possible. The grounding of these capacitors is critical. Therefore, it should
be a low impedance and should utilize multiple vias to the internal ground plane close to the capacitor as
well.

Warning: The uplink burst will cause strong ripple on the voltage lines and should be
effectively filtered. It is recommended that 1000 µF of capacitance be placed as close
to the modem I/O connector as possible. It should be noted that the input voltage
level should not drop below the minimum voltage rating under any circumstances,
especially during the uplink burst period.
4.2.2 Modem Power-on And Recovery Techniques
The HS 3001 provides module integrators with improved modem power-on and recovery techniques, while
maintaining backwards compatibility to Enabler IIIG integrations. The addition of an internal power switch
and input power-on logic select pin, allows users the flexibility to maintain backwards compatibility or
select different power-on options. This internal power switch also allows integrators the flexibility of not
supplying an external power switch. Pin-37, previously a reset pin, has been replaced with a device power
ON/OFF pin. This pin controls the internal power switch.
Pin-85 (PSLOGIC) allows users to select the default behavior of the ON/OFF control (Pin-37). Once power is
applied via the internal power switch, Pin-35 (PHON) is used as like a phone on/off switch.
4.2.3 Power Switch Logic Detect (Pin 85)
Hardware input pin to determine the functionality of the ON/OFF pin (Pin-37). If Pin-85 is tied to VBAT,
Modem ON/OFF (Pin-37) defaults to high when open circuit, and the modem power switch will be ON. If
Pin-85 is left open, Modem ON/OFF (Pin-37) defaults to low when open circuit and the modem will be off
(requires ON/OFF to be driven high to power on).
- 23 -
Note: Externally connecting Pin-85 to ground is not recommended
4.2.4 ON/OFF (PIN 37)
Pin-37 is the ON/OFF control input for the modem's internal power switch. When it is high, the modem's
power switch will be ON. When it is low, the modem power will be OFF.
Note that Pin-35 PHON (Power On) is a signal input and is the normal method for
turning the modem ON or OFF. However, Pin 35 cannot turn the modem on if Pin 37
is low, because the modem will not have power applied to it.

NOTE: The modem may not completely shut down/reset even with a mechanical
power switch or this circuit implemented if the modem’s I/O lines have another
source of power that applies voltage to the modem.
To alleviate this situation, make sure that the interface circuitry is set to tri-state or
as an input. If this is not possible, additional hardware may be needed to shunt high
impedance lines to ground during these situations.
The un-switched power source must be capable of supporting the inrush current
required by the bulk capacitance. The enable switch can be soft started via voltage
ramp or modulation to reduce the peak current as needed.
DO NOT USE a Modem Power Switch as a routine shutdown or reset. This technique
for shutting down the modem does not properly deregister the modem from the
network. The carrier may impose penalties if a fleet of equipment does not routinely
follow a proper deregistration process. If integrators wish to use this method
routinely, than a graceful detach from the network should be accomplished first. This
can be done by sending AT$OFF.
4.2.5 Phone On - PHON (PIN 35)
This input signals the modem to start and is equivalent to a “phone power button”.
A falling-edge on this Active-Low input will switch-ON the module or switch-OFF the module. The firmware
controlled OFF function will deregister the modem from the network before shutting the modem OFF.
This input has a “weak pull-up” resistor internal to the module. If users want the modem to automatically
come on when power is applied, they can tie this line low.
If RTC Sleep is required, then the PHON line must be floated to allow the internal resistor to pull the line
high. (The RTC sleep function is not available in the initial firmware release.)
Controlling the PHON signal must only be performed by an open collector/open drain device. If controlling
this signal from a microprocessor’s I/O pin, the PHON can be pulled low when the I/O is configured to be
an output and floated high by reconfiguring the pin to be an input.
Warning: The OFF Delay is controlled by the AT$OFFDLY command. A value of 0
disables the PHON line from turning the module off. 0 is the default value.
To enable the module to switch-OFF via PHON you must set AT$OFFDLY to a value
other than 0. The valid range is 100 to 1000 milliseconds.

To be used as a voltage reference source ONLY. Do not connect current loads to this pin. This pin must be

In this mode, the modem is off except for its Real-Time-Clock. When put into this mode, the modem can
wake itself up at a designated time/interval. See the HS 3001 AT command manual for details
4.2.11 Serial Interfaces And Handshake (Pins 11, 13, 15, 21)
The pin naming for TX/RX/RTS/CTS is referenced as a DTE .The DTE device should match their input pins to
the Enfora outputs and vice-versa. Additionally, there are AT commands that may need to be executed in
order to insure proper operation. See the chart below.

The HS 3001 module is designed to be used like a DTE device.
Default settings are 8 data, 1 stop, no parity, and 115200. RTS and CTS may be used for hardware
handshaking. The serial interface is 1.8V logic. By default, hardware handshaking (AT+IFC) is enabled. The
- 28 -
module will be expecting the RTS line to be low before it will transmit data. If the integrator does not wish
to use flow control, please see below for minimal serial implementations:
For a minimal Serial implementation use one of the following two configurations:
l Connect RxData (pin 15) and TxData (pin 21) to the COM port serial data lines.
l RTS (pin 11) be pulled up through a 100K resistor if not used.
l The user must set AT+IFC=0,0 to disable flow control to communicate with the modem.
l Tie RTS (pin 11) to CTS (pin 13), on the modem to loopback the flow control signals
Notes:
l Tying RTS (pin 11) to ground to “spoof” flow control will cause the modem to draw more current.
l It is not recommended to leave RTS (pin 11) unconnected.
4.2.12 Digital Audio Interface (PINS 12, 14, 16, 18)
This port is only available in Master mode and to be used for PCM digital audio. Below are the settings for
configuring its operation and the interface specification:
4.2.12.1 Digital Audio Configuration
The default settings for the digital audio are:
l Mode = Master
l MCSI_CLK = 2.048MHz
l Word Size = 16 Bits
l Sync Pulse = 8KHz
l Frame mode = burst
l Clock edge Sync = rising edge
The following command is required to set the unit up in digital audio mode:
AT$voicepth=2
This configures the EIII module to use digital audio instead of analog audio.
4.2.12.2 Digital Audio Data Format
The 16 bit word is sent MSB first. Data received is also MSB first. No other data manipulation is done
within the module.

4.3 Circuit Protection
Other than very low level ESD protection within the module’s integrated circuits, the module does not have
any protection against ESD events or other excursions that exceed the specified operating parameters.
Generally, ESD protection (typically TVS/Transzorb devices) should be added to all signals that leave the
host board. This includes VBAT/VCC.
Series resistors (typically 47 ohm) can also be added in series with data lines to limit the peak current
during a voltage excursion.
Warning: It is the Integrator’s responsibility to protect the Enabler module from
electrical disturbances and excursions, which exceed the specified operating
parameters.
