Solder the module to a PCB using the mounting tabs provided.
These tabs provide circuit grounding for the module.
Do not add solder paste to mounting pads, RF connector, or shield pads.
The only portion recommended for thermal relief is along the outer edge of each
pad, where you would place a soldering iron. The rest of the pad should be solid
flood to the copper ground underneath the module. (See Figure 5) This is critical
for helping heat dissipation.

Mounting Tab Soldering Guidelines
Do not apply excessive solder during module mounting. Solder bridging to internal
components can occur if you use an overly large iron tip and hold it against the vertical shield
walls while applying solder at the junction between the iron and the module. Coverage of the
outer ¾ of the tab is sufficient for securing the module. Please see the diagram below:

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Guidelines
Portable RF exposure evaluation must be completed on host devices that provide ≤ 20.0 cm
of separation distance between the transmitter antenna and the end user.
- 16 -
Portable Device Definition
FCC defines as a transmitting antenna located at a distance ≤ 20cm from the user.
Mobile Device Definition
FCC defines as a transmitting antenna located at a distance ≥ 20cm from the user.
SAR Compliance
European and US certification bodies require that you test Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
SAR is a measure of energy absorbed by organic tissue over a specific time. The factors that
affect SAR readings are:
l
output power
l
frequency of the radiation
l
proximity to antenna
l
antenna counterpoise
l
duty cycle
Early in the physical design stage of the UE, the antenna and the mechanical engineering
design teams must collaborate on the design to ensure that they can meet the SAR
requirements. Carefully reading and understanding the FCC requirements can help designers
choose the antenna type, the antenna location, and the industrial design of the UE. The
placement and characteristics of the main antenna are the most critical factors affecting SAR
performance.

Use the following guidelines to successfully implement your PCB layout to obtain the best
performance, the lowest possible EMI emissions, the maximum thermal conduction, the
highest mechanical integrity, and the best voice quality. The HS 3001 module is a compact,
high performance design, yet it is easy to interface into the final product. To experience 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.
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, you should try to use these
sound engineering principles.
Advanced Tips For An RF-Friendly Layout
Use the following tips for an RF-friendly layout:
Ground Plane
To ensure the lowest possible EMI emissions and maximum thermal conductivity, Novatel
Wireless M2M recommends that you solder all metal tabs on the cellular module shield down
onto a continuous ground plane that runs under the entire module. Provide ample ground vias
around the metal tabs to create a low impedance ground. Minimize the number of I/O and
power traces and vias under the cellular module to allow for as much ground plane as
possible. Great care should also be taken to avoid any shorting or coupling of vias that might
be placed under the radio module and have them masked.
An example of a good ground structure and pad layout follows:
- 19 -
Figure 4-1 Example of good ground plane for CDMA modules
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, you must be careful when using thermal relief for high current or high
frequency applications.
For example, a large thermal relief can serve the purpose for general applications such as low
current, low speed data lines, DC connections, and audio-frequency applications. However,
you should avoid such thermal relief structures for applications involving high current and/or
high-frequency (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.
- 20 -
Figure 4-2 Example of a POOR RF Thermal Relief
If thermal relief is necessary, use short, fat traces. This will still provide a solderable
connection, while providing a better RF connection. Making the traces shorter also allows for a
more continuous ground plane due to less copper being removed from the area. We also
recommend that you have ground vias around all thermal relief of critical ground pins such as
the five cellular shield tabs.
- 21 -
Figure 4-3 Example of a GOOD RF Thermal Relief
Modem Mounting Tabs
Soldering the tabs on the module is an important part of the assembly of the module and host
board. The following figure shows an ideal ground structure for the tabs. One half of the pad is
covered with a solid ground. This allows for a low impedance connection while still providing
some thermal relief for the soldering process. While soldering the tabs, apply slight pressure
(approximately 500 grams of force) to the module to flex the tabs and place the module as
close to the host as possible.
- 22 -
Figure 4-4 Modem Tabs - Ideal Ground Structure
Antenna And RF Signal Trace
The PCB trace that feeds the RF output port must be designed for a 50 ohm characteristic
impedance. The RF trace should be coplanar, or routed into internal layers to keep the top
layer continuous around and underneath the cellular module. Provide ample ground vias
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. Do not use
thermal relief on the antenna output port ground pads. 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, we recommend that you 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 pad
structure may also be used to match the antenna load impedance, if required. If it is not
needed, you may use a low-reactance capacitor to bridge the Pi structure.
- 23 -
The RF cable going between the cellular module and the antenna is very lossy; therefore, you
should keep the length of this cable as short a possible.
The following design parameters are for the coplanar microstrip between the Module RF
compression pads and the U.FL style coaxial connector.
The coplanar waveguide microstrip details are shown below.

interface must be
BAT
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 V
pins to the source voltage can act like a
BAT
high impedance and cause a significant voltage droop when higher currents are required.
If the V
drops too low, the cellular modules will reset. To minimize the trace loss, use a
BAT
larger trace that spans several pins. Any concern about solderability can be mitigated by
using a solder mask with cutouts for the individual pins as shown in the figure below. The
layout should provide sufficient trace width over the entire trace from the Enable modules all
the way to the source of the V
voltage. Any transitions between layers for this trace should
BAT
use multiple vias.
- 25 -
Even the best layout will have some impedance from the source to the cellular module;
therefore, sufficient bulk decoupling capacitance is required at the Vbat input to the cellular
module. If necessary, you may use up to two 1000 µF, low ESR, tantalum capacitors to provide
the desired decoupling. If used, the capacitors should be located very close to the cellular
interface connector V
pins. Any thermal relief used on these capacitors should comply with
BAT
the information given above to provide the lowest possible impedance. The grounding of
these capacitors is critical. Therefore, it should be a low impedance and should use multiple
vias to the internal ground plane close to the capacitor.
It is highly recommended to have the battery voltage be set at 3.8 Volts (the approximate
midpoint between 3.4 Volt and 4 .4 Volt) to avoid any negative side effects related to
transmit power of the radio module caused by high voltage drops due to high current draw
on the Vbat line.

circumstances, especially during the uplink burst period.

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 an 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 (PON) is used like a phone on/off
switch.
Power Switch Logic Detect (Pin 85)
Pin 85 is a hardware input pin used 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).
We do not recommend externally connecting Pin 85 to ground.
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.
In order for the device to power on, pin 35 must be tied low or pulled low after power has
been applied. The device will not power on if it is left floating.
- 30 -
Pin 35 PON (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. offdly=0 only affects the
powering off of the device, not power on.

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, you may need additional hardware 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.
V
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 you wish
to use this method routinely, you should gracefully detatch from the network
first. This can be done by sending AT$OFF.
Phone On - PON (PIN 35)
This input signals the modem to start and is equivalent to a “phone power button”.
- 31 -
A falling-edge on this Active-Low input will switch-ON or switch-OFF the module. The
firmware controlled OFF function will deregister the modem from the network before
shutting the modem OFF.
This input has a “weak pull-up” resistor internal to the module. If users want the modem to
automatically come on when power is applied, they can tie this line low.
If RTC Sleep is required, then the PON line must be floated to allow the internal resistor to
pull the line high.
Controlling the PON signal must only be performed by an open collector/open drain device. If
controlling this signal from a microprocessor’s I/O pin, the PON can be pulled low when the
I/O is configured to be an output and floated high by reconfiguring the pin to be an input.
The AT$OFFDLY Command controls the OFF Delay. A value of 0 disables the
PON line from turning the module off. 0 is the default value.
To enable the module to switch-OFF via PON you must set AT$OFFDLY to a
value other than 0. The valid range is 100 to 1000 milliseconds.
Internal Power Switch
The modem has an internal power switch that supplies the modem operating power when
ON.

Voltage Reference - VREG_MSME1.8 (PIN 77)
To be used as a voltage reference source ONLY. Do not connect current loads to this pin.
When driving external circuitry, this pin should be decoupled to ground with at least a 0.1 µF
capacitor at the output.This pin can be left open if not driving external circuitry. Noise
induced on this pin will affect the performance of the baseband.
USB (PINS 1, 3, 5, 7)
As part of integrated products carrier certification, most carriers require access to
the USB diagnostic port to control the module for testing. If the integrator has not
already brought out the USB interface, it is recommended that the USB interface
be routed to test points on the device, at a minimum. It will be acceptable to
temporary wire a USB connector for purposes of testing during carrier
certification.

hardware handshaking. DTR may be used to force the modem into AT command mode from
online data mode (See AT Command Document, command AT&D). The serial interface is 1.8 V
logic. By default, hardware handshaking (AT+IFC) is disabled. If the integrator does not wish
to use flow control, disable hardware flow control in the modem using the AT+IFC command.
For a minimal Serial implementation use the following configuration:
l
Connect RxData (pin 15) and TxData (pin 21) to the COM port serial data lines.
l
Set AT+IFC=0,0 to disable flow control.
Notes:
- 35 -
l
Tying DTR (pin 17) and RTS (pin 11) to ground to “spoof” flow control will cause the
modem to draw more current.
l
We do not recommend leaving DTR (pin 17) and RTS (pin 11) unconnected. If you are not
going to use these signals, do one of the following:
n
Pull up DTR (pin 17) and RTS (pin 11) through a 100K resistor; or
n
Tie RTS (pin 11) to CTS (pin 13), and tie DTR (pin 17) to DSR (pin 25) on the modem
to loopback the signals.
UART 2 (Pins 27, 29)
UART2 supports RX and TX only.

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:
Digital Audio Configuration
The default settings for the digital audio are:
l
Mode = Master
l
MCSI_CLK = 2.048 MHz
l
Word Size = 16 Bits
l
Sync Pulse = 8 KHz
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 module to use digital audio instead of analog audio.
Digital Audio Data Format
The 16 bit word is sent MSB first. Data received is also MSB first. No other data manipulation is

Headset Detect (PIN 47)
The headset detect signal is an active low signal. The signal is low when a headset is inserted.
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. Only the USB port has onboard ESD/transient protection. We
do not recommend using additional external transient protection for this port as it will cause
too much capacitance on the lines.
- 39 -
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 ohms) can also be added in series with data lines to limit the peak
current during a voltage excursion.
It is your responsibility to protect the module from electrical disturbances and
excursions that exceed the specified operating parameters.
