on
Sleep
GSM/GPRS/
EDGE/WC
DMA /LTE
Module will automatically go into sleep mode if the conditions of sleep
mode are enabling and there is no
on air and no hardware interrupt (such
as USB wake-up operation or data on serial port).
In this case, the current consumption of module will be reduced
to the
minimal level.
In sleep mode, the module can still receive paging message and SMS.
Idle
GSM/WCD
MA/LTE
Software is active. Module is registered to the GSM/WCDMA/LTE
network, and the module is ready to communicate.
Voice
Call
GSM/WCD
MA
Connection between two subscribers is in progress. In this case, the power
consumption depends on network settings such as DTX off/on,
FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, antenna.
Standby
EDGE/HSP
A+/LTE
Module is ready for EDGE/HSPA+ /LTE
data transfer, but no data is
currently sent or received. In this case, power consumption depends on
network settings and EDGE/HSPA+ /LTE configuration.
Data
transfer
EDGE/HSP
A+ /LTE
There is EDGE/HSPA+/LTE data transfer in progress
. In this case, power
consumption is related to
network settings (e.g. power control level);
uplink/downlink data rates and GPRS configuration (e.g. used multi-slot
settings).
Minimum
functionality mode
AT command “AT+CFUN” can be used to set t
he module to a minimum functionality
mode without removing the power supply. In this mode, the RF part of the module will
not work or the USIM card will not be accessible, or both RF part and USIM card will be
closed, and the serial port is still accessible. The power consumption in this mode is lower
than normal mode.

4. Application Interface
4.1 Power Supply
The recommended power supply of SIM7200 is 3.3V and the voltage ranges from 3.2 V to 3.6 V. The SIM7200
has 4 power pins and 13 Ground pins, to ensure the SIM7200 module works normally, all the pins must be
connected. The PCIe connector pin is defined as necessary to support 500mA per Pin continuously.
When the module works at the 2G mode, the transmitting burst will cause voltage drop and the power supply
must be able to provide sufficient current up to 2.5A. For the 3.3V input, 3 bypass capacitors (low ESR) such as
220µF are strongly recommended. Make sure that the voltage does not drop below 3.2 V in any case.
The 10pF and 33pF capacitors can effectively eliminate the high frequency interference. A 5.1V/500mW
Zener diode can be reserved, the diode can prevent chip from damaging by the voltage surge. These
capacitors and Zener diode should be placed as close to SIM7200 VCC pins as possible.

4.2 Power Saving Mode
SIM7200 has two power saving modes: minimum functionality mode and sleep mode. When SIM7200 is in sleep
mode and minimum functionality mode, the current consumption of module is lowest.
4.2.1. Minimum Functionality Mode and Sleep Mode
The AT command “AT+CFUN=<fun>” can be used to set SIM7200 into minimum functionality.
There are three functionality modes, which could be set by the AT command “AT+CFUN=<fun>”. The command
provides the choice of the functionality levels <fun>=0, 1, 4.
AT+CFUN=0: Minimum functionality.
AT+CFUN=1: Full functionality (default).
AT+CFUN=4: Airplane mode (disable RF function).
Minimum functionality mode minimizes the current consumption to the lowest level. If SIM7200 is set to
minimum functionality by “AT+CFUN=0”, the RF function and USIM card function will be disabled. In this case,
the serial port and USB port are still accessible, but all AT commands correlative with RF function and USIM
card function will not be accessible.
Note: For detailed information about the AT Command “AT+CFUN=<fun>”, please refer to document [1].
If host sends USB suspend request, SIM7200 will enter sleep mode automatically for reducing power
consumption, when peripheral equipment of SIM7200 stops working, and module has no on air or audio activity
required. In sleep mode, SIM7200 can still receive paging or SMS from network.
Note: SIM7200 could enter sleep mode if the host CPU supports USB suspend mode, otherwise it could not
enter sleep mode.
Smart Machine Smart Decisio n
SIM7200-PCIe_ Hardware_Design _V1.01 23 2016-05-19
4.2.2. Wake Up SIM7200 from Sleep Mode
When SIM7200 is in sleep mode, the following methods can wake up the module:
Host sends USB resume request.
Receive a data call from network.
Receive a voice call from network.
Receive a SMS from network.
4.3 USB 2.0
SIM7200 is compliant with Universal Serial Bus Specification Rev 2.0, It supports full-speed and high-speed
when acting as a USB device.
Currently SIM7200 supports the USB suspend and resume mechanism which can help to save power. If no
transaction is on USB bus, SIM7200 will enter suspend mode. When some events such as voice call or
receiving SMS happen, SIM7200 will resume normal mode automatically.
For the large data rate of LTE network, SIMCom strongly suggests customer to design the device with the high
speed USB specification with the data rate of 480Mbps to satisfy the increasing needs of data application.
USB interface features include:
Windows: Modem or COM ports, using host Windows drivers
Linux: / dev / ttyUSBn devices for Linux systems
USB-compliant transceivers
Selective suspend mode
Data rate: Full-speed (12 Mbps) / High-speed (480 Mbps)

4.3.2 Firmware Update
If users need to upgrade through USB port, it is necessary to power on SIM7200 first, and then connect
USB_DP, USB_DN, GND to host device.
4.3.3 High-speed USB Layout Guide Lines
This section summarize the guidelines for designing controlled-impedance, high-speed USB PCBs to comply
with the USB specification.
The impedance could be controlled to 90Ω
Route the high-speed clock and high-speed USB differential signals with minimum trace lengths.
Route the high-speed USB signals on the plane closest to the ground plane
Route the high-speed USB signals using a minimum of vias and corners.
When it becomes necessary to turn 90°, use two 45° turns or an arc instead of making a single 90° turn. This
reduces reflections on the signal traces by minimizing impedance discontinuities.
Route the high-speed USB signals using a minimum of vias and corners. This reduces signal reflections and
impedance changes.
Do not route USB traces under or near crystals, oscillators, clock signal generators, switching regulators,
magnetic devices or IC’s that use or duplicate clock signals.
Avoid stubs on the high-speed USB signals because they cause signal reflections. If a stub is unavoidable,
then the stub should be less than 200 mils.
Route all high-speed USB signal traces over continuous planes (VCC or GND), with no interruptions. Avoid
crossing over anti-etch, commonly found with plane splits.
4.4 USIM Card Interface
SIM7200 supports one USIM card, and the USIM interface complies with ISO/IEC 7816-3 standard. Both 1.8V
and 3.0V USIM card are supported. The USIM interface is powered from an internal regulator in the module, and
it supports USIM card detecting and hot swap function.
Both 1.8V and 3.0V USIM card are supported. The USIM interface is powered from an internal regulator in the
module, and supports USIM card detecting and hot swap function.
It is recommended to use an ESD protection component such as PHILIPS (www.ohilips.com ) IP42220CZ6, the
USIM peripheral circuit including resistors and ESD TVSs should be close to the USIM card socket. The

USIM card circuit is susceptible to be interfered, causing the USIM card failure or some other issues, so it is
strongly recommended to follow these guidelines while designing:
Make sure that USIM card holder stay away from antenna while in PCB layout, distance of the USIM
connector and the module should be less than 10cm, shield the signals by GND to keep USIM
interface away from system noise;
USIM traces should keep away from RF lines, VBAT and high-speed signal lines, and the shorter the
better; Avoid routing the USIM_CLK and USIM_DATA lines in parallel and distances over 2 cm, the
cross-coupling of these lines can cause failures;
The rise time of USIM_CLK and USIM_DATA should be less than 1μs, user should keep low
Smart Machine Smart Decisio n
SIM7200-PCIe_ Hardware_Design _V1.01 26 2016-05-19
capacitance of these signals when layout, high capacitance will increase signal rise time. To optimize
the signal rise time, the USIM_DATA has been pulled up to USIM_VDD with 10K resistor inside the
SIM7200, customer do not need to add pull up;.
Keep good connectivity between USIM holder GND and module GND;
Recommended to place a 1μF capacitor on USIM_VDD line for decoupling and keep close to the
holder;
Add TVS to protect the USIM card and SIM7200 IC, but the parasitic capacitance should not exceed
50pF. Customer should decide whether the TVS diode is necessary depending on the application,
mechanical enclosure, and USIM connector design.

IV. Safety Caution
Table 30: Safety caution
Marks Requirements
When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions about the use of mobiles.
Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, medical equipment may be sensitive to not operate
normally for RF energy interference.
Sw
itch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it is switched off.
The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with
communication systems. Forget to think much of these instructi
ons may lead to the flight safety or
offend against local legal action, or both.
Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the pre sence o f flammable gase s or fumes. Switch
off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots,
chemical plants or where
blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any electrical equipment in potentially explosive
atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.
Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on.
RF interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or other electric
equipment.
Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-
held cellular terminal or mobile when driving a
vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in
a holder for hands free operation. Before making a call
with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle.
GSM cellular terminals or mobiles operate over radio frequency signals and cellular networks and
cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions, for example no mobile fee or a invalid USIM
card. While you are in this condition and need emergent help, please remember using emergency
calls. In order to make or receive calls, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in
a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Some networks do not allow for emergency call if certain network services or phone features are in
use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may have to deactivate those features before you
can make an emergency call.
Also, some networks require that a valid USIM card be properly inserted in the cellular terminal or
mobile.
