1 Overview
1.1Object of the document
The aim of this document is to describe some examples of hardware solutions for developing some products
around the SAGEM MO300 M2M Module. Most part of these solutions are not mandatory. Use them as
suggestions of what should be done to have a working product and what should be avoided thanks to our
experiences.
This document suggests how to integrate the MO300 M2M module in wireless communicating devices such as
GSM Gateway, POS, EDGE/GPS Tracking system, Wireless modem : connection with external devices, layout
advises, external components (decoupling capacitors…).

3 Functional integration
The MO300 series modules target the M2M applications market.
Following the improvement of Silicon technologies includes functionality improvement, less power consumption,
low voltage and higher working frequencies clock, the MO300 module meets all these requirement and uses
last high end technology. All digital I/Os at the 80 pins connector are on 1.8V domain and 1.4 V for its core.
Except VREXTH (1.8V or 2.8V) and VCCSIM (and the SIM I/Os at 1.8V or 2.8V) and obviously VBAT.
Thus, all chip used to communicate with the MO300 must be compatible with this voltage requirement.
Otherwise you will be simply required to use level shifters to adapt the voltage of the signals to meet the
requirement of MO300 Module.
As example here is the validated chip on our design to shift I/Os voltage from 2.8V to 1.8V:

Sim plus card
Preliminary notes:
Regarding the Sim cards:
Some improvements and new features are supported by new generation of Sim cards.
The main features are the support for 1.8 power supply for USIM used in EDGE, HSDPA and UMTS
applications.
The second one is the add-on, the flash memory included in Simplus card to mix and simplify the design of two
Card holder in some applications. If necessary, with only one mechanical card holder it is possible to have
access to Sim card features and at the same time to also have access to an external Flash memory module like
MMC.
Regarding the card holders:
The Sim card holder can have 6 or 8 pins depending if it feature a mechanical card presence detector or not.
The Simplus card holder can have 8 or 10 pins depending if it feature a card presence detector or not.
There are two ways to connect a Sim card holder to the MO300 module.
•External Sim card holder uses 10 pins if Simplus compliant or 8 pins if normal Sim compliant from Pin 5 to
pin 12 of the board to board (BtB)connector.
• Internal Sim card holder by soldering the card holder( and it's protective components) on the back side of
the MO300 module.
Note: These two ways are exclusives, never use both solutions at the same time. This is mandatory.

3.1.1 SIM on the Board to Board Connector.
The SIM card connection could be done in two ways:
• Connector with 6 pins without SIM card detection.
• Connector with 8 pins with SIM card detection.
In both cases, decoupling capacitors of 10pF have to be added on SIMCLK, SIMRST, SIMVCC and SIMIO
signals as close as possible to the SIM card connector to avoid EMC issues. Moreover, use ESD protection
components to protect Sim card and module I/Os against Electro Static Discharges. The following schematic
show how to protect the Sim access for 8 pins connector. Apply the same method for a 6 pins connector.

In these configurations, the SIMCD* signal is always Low.
There is no hardware SIM card detection, so the SIM card is considered as always present. (A software
detection is always performed). For filtering, EMC and ESD values refer to schematics figure 4.

8 pins SIM plus card connection with presence detection
These configurations allows the module to detect if a SIM card is present in the connector or not. When present,
the SIMCD signal is connected to GND signal through a mechanical switch integrated in the SIM connector (the
type of switch depends of the SIM connector) thus a hardware interruption is generated. When the switch is
opened, the internal MO300 pull up raise the signal to high level (1.8V)

3.1.2 SIM holder soldered on the back of the MO300.
The MO300 module feature a soldering area on its back to mount a Sim card holder with all necessary
components to protect it from EMC and ESD.
For your design, if the Sim connection through the BtB connector is not required, use the following
recommended schematic.
As already warned: Never use both SIM card connection solutions at the same time. This is mandatory.

The behaviour is as described in the previous chapter.

3.2 HOW to connect the AUDIOS?
The MO300 module feature 2 differential audio paths. A main audio path to connect a microphone and a
speaker, and a second one to connect an auxiliary audio through a Jack (for example). In this following chapter
examples of design will be given including protections against EMC and ESD and some notes about the routing
rules to follow to avoid the TDMA noise usually present in this sensitive area of design. It will also give the way
to use the hook function and the audio-jack presence detector.
3.2.1 Using a differential Handset mode on the main audio path
The MO300 can manage an external microphone (MICP/MICN) and external speaker (32 ohms SPKP/SPKN) in
differential mode.
Thus, one receiver and one microphone can be connected to the module with the following characteristics (see
SAGEM references):
- Receiver 32 ohms up to 120 ohms
- Microphone accepting the polarisation described below (FET Buffer + Open Drain).
- The microphone can be supplied using the internal MO300 bias supply (recommended but not mandatory)
or any other external bias system compliant with selected microphone within the MO300 inputs limits.
