4. POWER SUPPLY

The power supply circuitry and board layout are a very important part in the full product design and they strongly reflect on the product overall performance, hence read the requirements carefully and the guidelines that will follow for a proper design.

Power Supply Requirements

The external power supply must be connected to VBATT & VBATT_PA signals and must fulfill the following requirements:

Power Supply

Nominal Supply Voltage 3.8V

Operating Voltage Range 3.40 V÷ 4.20 V

Extended Voltange Range

NOTE:

The Operating Voltage Range MUST never be exceeded; care must

be taken when designing the application’s power supply section to

avoid having an excessive voltage drop. If the voltage drop is

exceeding the limits it could cause a Power Off of the module.

The Power supply must be higher than 3.20 V to power on the

Value

3.20 V÷ 4.50 V

module.

Overshoot voltage (regarding MAX Extended Operating Voltage) and

drop in voltage (regarding MIN Extended Operating Voltage) MUST

never be exceeded;

The “Extended Operating Voltage Range” can be used only with

completely assumption and application of the HW User guide

suggestions.

GSM 850/900

NOTE:

For PTCRB approval on the final products the power supply is

required to be within the “Normal Operating Voltage Range”.

NOTE: The reported LTE values are an average among all the

product variants and bands for each network wireless technology.

The support of specific network wireless technology depends on

product variant configuration.

General Design Rules

The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design

steps:

 the electrical design of the power supply

 the thermal design

 the PCB layout

4.3.1. Electrical Design Guidelines

The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly from the power source where this power is drained. We will distinguish them into three categories:

 +5V input (typically PC internal regulator output)  +12V input (typically automotive)  Battery

4.3.1.1. +5V Source Power Supply Design Guidelines

 The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence there's not a

big difference between the input source and the desired output and a linear regulator can be used. A switching power supply will not be suited because of the low drop out requirements.

 When using a linear regulator, a proper heat sink shall be provided

in order to dissipate the power generated.

 A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided

in order to cut the current absorption peaks close to the ML865C1, a 100μF tantalum capacitor is usually suited.

 Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually

a tantalum one) is rated at least 10V.

 A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in

order to save the ML865C1 from power polarity inversion.

1VV0301493 Rev. 4 Page 24 of 89 2020-07-27

An example of linear regulator with 5V input is:

Guidelines

4.3.1.2. +12V Source Power Supply Design Guidelines

 The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence due to the big

difference between the input source and the desired output, a linear regulator is not suited and shall not be used. A switching power supply will be preferable because of its better efficiency especially with the 2A peak current load represented by the ML865C1.

 When using a switching regulator, a 500kHz or more switching

frequency regulator is preferable because of its smaller inductor size and its faster transient response. This allows the regulator to respond quickly to the current peaks absorption.

 In any case the frequency and Switching design selection is related

to the application to be developed due to the fact the switching frequency could also generate EMC interferences.

 For car PB battery the input voltage can rise up to 15,8V and this

should be kept in mind when choosing components: all components in the power supply must withstand this voltage.

 A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided

in order to cut the current absorption peaks, a 100μF tantalum capacitor is usually suited.

 Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually

a tantalum one) is rated at least 10V.

 For Car applications a spike protection diode should be inserted

close to the power input, in order to clean the supply from spikes.

ML865C1 HW User Guide

 A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in

order to save the ML865C1 from power polarity inversion. This can be the same diode as for spike protection.

An example of switching regulator with 12V input is in the below schematic:

4.3.1.3. Battery Source Power Supply Design Guidelines

A single 3.7V Li-Ion cell battery type is suited for supply of Telit ML865C1 module.

WARNING:

The three cells Ni/Cd or Ni/MH 3,6 V Nom. battery types or 4V PB types MUST NOT BE USED DIRECTLY since their maximum voltage can rise over the absolute maximum voltage for the ML865C1 and damage it.

NOTE:

DON'T USE any Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Pb battery types directly connected with ML865C1. Their use can lead to overvoltage on the ML865C1 and damage it. USE ONLY Li-Ion battery types.

 A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in

order to cut the current absorption peaks, a 100μF tantalum capacitor is usually suited.

 Make sure the low ESR capacitor (usually a tantalum one) is rated at

least 10V.

 A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order

to save the ML865C1 from power polarity inversion. Otherwise the battery connector should be done in a way to avoid polarity inversions when connecting the battery.

 The battery capacity must be at least 500mAh in order to withstand the

current peaks of 2A; the suggested capacity is from 500mAh to 1000mAh.

4.3.2. Thermal Design Guidelines

The thermal design for the power supply heat sink should be done with the following specifications:

 Average current consumption: 250 mA (LTE modes)

 Average current consumption: 600 mA (GPRS and EDGE modes)

 Supply voltage: 4.50V

NOTE:

Make PCB design in order to have the best connection of GND pads

to large surfaces of copper.

NOTE:

The ML865C1 includes a function to prevent overheating.

4.3.3. Power Supply PCB layout Guidelines

As seen on the electrical design guidelines the power supply shall have a low ESR capacitor on the output to cut the current peaks and a protection diode on the input to protect the supply from spikes and polarity inversion. The placement of these components is crucial for the correct working of the circuitry. A misplaced component can be useless or can even decrease the power supply performances.

 The Bypass low ESR capacitor must be placed close to the Telit

ML865C1 power input pads or in the case the power supply is a switching type it can be placed close to the inductor to cut the ripple provided the PCB trace from the capacitor to the ML865C1 is wide enough to ensure a dropless connection even during the 2A current peaks.

 The protection diode must be placed close to the input connector

where the power source is drained.

 The PCB traces from the input connector to the power regulator

IC must be wide enough to ensure no voltage drops occur when the 2A current peaks are absorbed. Note that this is not made in order to save power loss but especially to avoid the voltage drops on the power line at the current peaks frequency of 216 Hz that will reflect on all the components connected to that supply, introducing the noise floor at the burst base frequency. For this reason while a voltage drop of 300-400 mV may be acceptable from the power loss point of view, the same voltage drop may not be acceptable from the noise point of view. If your application doesn't have audio interface but only uses the data feature of the Telit ML865C1, then this noise is not so disturbing and power supply layout design can be more forgiving.

 The PCB traces to the ML865C1 and the Bypass capacitor must

be wide enough to ensure no significant voltage drops occur when the 2A current peaks are absorbed. This is for the same reason as previous point. Try to keep this trace as short as possible.

 The PCB traces connecting the Switching output to the inductor

and the switching diode must be kept as short as possible by placing the inductor and the diode very close to the power switching IC (only for switching power supply). This is done in order to reduce the radiated field (noise) at the switching frequency (100-500 kHz usually).

 The use of a good common ground plane is suggested.

1VV0301493 Rev. 4 Page 29 of 89 2020-07-27

Page 30

ML865C1 HW User Guide

 The placement of the power supply on the board should be done

 The power supply input cables should be kept separate from

Unconditional Shutdown ( Hardware Unconditional restart)

HW_SHUTDOWN* is used to unconditionally shutdown the ML865C1. Whenever this

signal is pulled low, the ML865C1 is reset. When the device is reset it stops any

operation. After the release of the line, the ML865C1 is unconditionally shut down, without

doing any detach operation from the network where it is registered. This behaviour is not a

proper shut down because any cellular device is requested to issue a detach request on

turn off. The HW_SHUTDOWN* is internally controlled on start-up to achieve always a

proper power-on reset sequence, so there's no need to control this pin on start-up.

To unconditionally shutdown the ML865C1, the pad HW_SHUTDOWN* must be tied low

for at least 200 milliseconds and then released. The maximum current that can be drained

from the ON* pad is 0,15 mA.

The signal is internally pulled up so the pin can be left floating if not used.

During PSM mode, HW_SHUTDOWN toggle has no effect. The use of HW_SHUTDOWN*

pin is valid only when ML865C1 has VAUX/PWRMON output HI.

WARNING:

The hardware unconditional Restart must not be used during normal operation of the device since it does not detach the device from the network. It shall be kept as an emergency exit procedure to be done in the rare case that the device gets stuck waiting for some network or SIM responses.

NOTE:

Do not use any pull up resistor on the HW_SHUTDOWN* line nor any totem pole digital output.

The line HW_SHUTDOWN* must be connected only in open collector configuration; the transistor must be connected as close as possible to the HW_SHUTDOWN* pin.

TIP:

The unconditional hardware restart must always be implemented on the boards and the software must use it as an emergency exit procedure.

Fast power down

The procedure to power off ML865C1 described in Chapter 5.3 normally takes more than

1 second to detach from network and make ML865C1internal filesystem properly closed.

In case of unwanted supply voltage loss the system can be switched off without any risk of

filesystem data corruption by implementing Fast Shut Down feature.

Fast Shut Down feature permits to reduce the current consumption and the time-to-

poweroff to minimum values.

NOTE:

Refer to ML865C1 series AT command reference guide (Fast power

down - #FASTSHDN) in order to set up detailed AT command.

5.6.1. Fast Shut Down by Hardware

The Fast Power Down can be triggered by configuration of any GPIO. HI level to LOW

level transition of GPIO commands fast power down.

The ML865C1 module is provided with by 2 Asynchronous serial ports:

• MODEM SERIAL PORT 1 (Main)

• MODEM SERIAL PORT 2 (Auxiliary)

Several configurations can be designed for the serial port on the OEM hardware, but the

most common are:

• RS232 PC com port

• microcontroller UART @ 1.8V (Universal Asynchronous Receive Transmit)

• microcontroller UART @ 5V or other voltages different from 1.8V

Depending from the type of serial port on the OEM hardware a level translator circuit may

be needed to make the system work. On the ML865C1 the ports are CMOS 1.8.

5.7.3.1. Modem serial port 1

The serial port 1 on the ML865C1 is a +1.8V UART with all the 7 RS232 signals. It differs

from the PC-RS232 in the signal polarity (RS232 is reversed) and levels.

NOTE:

According to V.24, some signal names are referred to the application

side, therefore on the ML865C1 side these signal are on the opposite

direction:

TXD on the application side will be connected to the receive line

(here named C103/TXD)

RXD on the application side will be connected to the transmit line

(here named C104/RXD)

For a minimum implementation, only the TXD, RXD lines can be

connected, the other lines can be left open provided a software flow

control is implemented.

5.7.3.3. RS232 level translation

In order to interface the ML865C1 with a PC com port or a RS232 (EIA/TIA-232)

application a level translator is required. This level translator must:

• invert the electrical signal in both directions;

• Change the level from 0/1.8V to +15/-15V.

Actually, the RS232 UART 16450, 16550, 16650 & 16750 chipsets accept signals with

lower levels on the RS232 side (EIA/TIA-562), allowing a lower voltage-multiplying ratio

on the level translator. Note that the negative signal voltage must be less than 0V and

hence some sort of level translation is always required.

The simplest way to translate the levels and invert the signal is by using a single chip level

translator. There are a multitude of them, differing in the number of drivers and receivers

and in the levels (be sure to get a true RS232 level translator not a RS485 or other

standards).

By convention the driver is the level translator from the 0-1.8V UART to the RS232 level.

The receiver is the translator from the RS232 level to 0-1.8V UART.

In order to translate the whole set of control lines of the UART you will need:

• 5 drivers

1VV0301493 Rev. 4 Page 48 of 89 2020-07-27

Page 49

ML865C1 HW User Guide

• 3 receivers

An example of RS232 level

adaptation circuitry could be done

using a MAXIM transceiver

(MAX218)

In this case the chipset is capable

to translate directly from 1.8V to

the RS232 levels (Example done

on 4 signals only).

The RS232 serial port lines are usually connected to a DB9 connector with the following

layout:

General purpose I/O

The ML865C1 module is provided by a set of Configurable Digital Input / Output pins

(CMOS 1.8V). Input pads can only be read; they report the digital value (high or low)

present on the pad at the read time. Output pads can only be written or queried and set

the value of the pad output.

An alternate function pad is internally controlled by the ML865C1 firmware and acts

depending on the function implemented.

5.8.1. Using a GPIO as INPUT

The GPIO pads, when used as inputs, can be connected to a digital output of another

device and report its status, provided this device has interface levels compatible with the

1.8V CMOS levels of the GPIO.

Input current (@1.8V) is about 18uA (corrisponding to 100K pulldown value) in all GPIO

pin expect GPIO_09 where current is about 100uA. This value is present since ML865

poweron.

If the digital output of the device to be connected with the GPIO input pad has interface

levels different from the 1.8V CMOS, then it can be buffered with an open collector

transistor with a 47K pull up to 1.8V supplied by VAUX/POWERMON R11 pad.

5.8.2. Using a GPIO as OUTPUT

The GPIO pads, when used as outputs, can drive 1.8V CMOS digital devices or

compatible hardware. When set as outputs, the pads have a push-pull output and

therefore the pull-up resistor may be omitted.

status.

The function is available as alternate function of GPIO_08 (to be enabled using the

AT#GPIO=1,0,2 command).

In the ML865C1 modules, the STAT_LED needs an external transistor to drive an external

LED and its voltage level is defined accordingly to the table below:.

6.4.1. PCB Design guidelines

When using the ML865C1, since there's no antenna connector on the module, the

antenna must be connected to the ML865C1 antenna pad (K1) by means of a

transmission line implemented on the PCB.

This transmission line shall fulfil the following requirements:

Item Value

Characteristic

Impedance

Max Attenuation 0,3 dB

Coupling Coupling with other signals shall be avoided

50 ohm (+-10%)

Ground Plane

Cold End (Ground Plane) of antenna shall be equipotential to the ML865C1 ground pins

The transmission line should be designed according to the following guidelines:

• Make sure that the transmission line’s characteristic impedance is 50ohm ;

1VV0301493 Rev. 4 Page 57 of 89 2020-07-27

Page 58

ML865C1 HW User Guide

• Keep line on the PCB as short as possible, since the antenna line loss shall be less

than about 0,3 dB;

• Line geometry should have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid

meanders and abrupt curves;

• Any kind of suitable geometry / structure (Microstrip, Stripline, Coplanar, Grounded

Coplanar Waveguide...) can be used for implementing the printed transmission line

afferent the antenna;

• If a Ground plane is required in line geometry, that plane has to be continuous and

sufficiently extended, so the geometry can be as similar as possible to the related

canonical model;

• Keep, if possible, at least one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane; If

possible, use this layer as reference Ground plane for the transmission line;

• It is wise to surround (on both sides) the PCB transmission line with Ground, avoid

having other signal tracks facing directly the antenna line track.

• Avoid crossing any un-shielded transmission line footprint with other signal tracks

on different layers;

• The ground surrounding the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the

main Ground Plane by means of via holes (once per 2mm at least), placed close to

the ground edges facing line track;

• Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from ML865C1 antenna line;

• Keep the antenna line far away from the ML865C1 power supply lines;

• If EM noisy devices (such as fast switching ICs, LCD and so on) are present on the

PCB hosting the ML865, take care of the shielding of the antenna line by burying it

in an inner layer of PCB and surround it with Ground planes, or shield it with a metal

frame cover.

• If EM noisy devices are not present around the line, the use of geometries like

Microstrip or Grounded Coplanar Waveguide has to be preferred, since they

typically ensure less attenuation if compared to a Stripline having same length;

The following image is showing the suggested layout for the Antenna pad

6.4.2. PCB Guidelines in case of FCC Certification

In the case FCC certification is required for an application using ML865C1, according to

FCC KDB 996369 for modular approval requirements, the transmission line has to be

similar to that implemented on ML865C1 interface board and described in the following

chapter.

6.4.2.1. Transmission line design

During the design of the ML865C1 interface board, the placement of components has

been chosen properly, in order to keep the line length as short as possible, thus leading to

lowest power losses possible. A Grounded Coplanar Waveguide (G-CPW) line has been

chosen, since this kind of transmission line ensures good impedance control and can be

implemented in an outer PCB layer as needed in this case. A SMA female connector has

been used to feed the line.

The interface board is realized on a FR4, 4-layers PCB. Substrate material is

characterized by relative permittivity εr = 4.6 ± 0.4 @ 1 GHz, TanD= 0.019 ÷ 0.026 @ 1

GHz.

1VV0301493 Rev. 4 Page 59 of 89 2020-07-27

Page 60

ML865C1 HW User Guide

A characteristic impedance of nearly 50 Ω is achieved using trace width = 1.1 mm,

clearance from coplanar ground plane = 0.3 mm each side. The line uses reference

ground plane on layer 3, while copper is removed from layer 2 underneath the line. Height

of trace above ground plane is 1.335 mm. Calculated characteristic impedance is 51.6 Ω,

estimated line loss is less than 0.1 dB. The line geometry is shown below:

6.4.2.2. Transmission Line Measurements

An HP8753E VNA (Full-2-port calibration) has been used in this measurement session.

A calibrated coaxial cable has been soldered at the pad corresponding to RF output; a

SMA connector has been soldered to the board in order to characterize the losses of the

transmission line including the connector itself. During Return Loss / impedance

measurements, the transmission line has been terminated to 50 Ω load.

Return Loss plot of line under test is shown below:

6.4.2.3. Antenna Installation Guidelines

 Install the antenna in a place covered by the LTE signal with CAT-M1 support.

 Antenna must not be installed inside metal cases

 Antenna must not be installed according Antenna manufacturer instructions

 Antenna integration should optimize the Radiation Efficiency. Efficiency values >

50% are recommended on all frequency bands

 Antenna integration should not perturb the radiation pattern described in Antenna

manufacturer documentation.

 It is preferable to get an omnidirectional radiation pattern to

 Antenna Gain must not exceed values indicated in regulatory requirements, where

applicable, in order to meet related EIRP limitations. Typical antenna Gain in most

M2M applications does not exceed 2dBi

 If the device antenna is located farther than 20cm from the human body and there

are no co-located transmitter then the Telit FCC/IC approvals can be re-used by the

end product

 If the device antenna is located closer than 20cm from the human body or there are

co-located transmitter then the additional FCC/IC testing may be required for the

end product (Telit FCC/IC approvals cannot be reused)

RF Front End Design

The ML865C1 Module contains a pre-select SAW filter but doesn’t contain the LNA needed to reach the maximum sensitivity. Active antenna (antenna with a built-in low noise amplifier) must be used and must be supplied with proper bias-tee circuit.

8.2.1. Guidelines of PCB line for GNSS Antenna

 Ensure that the antenna line impedance is 50ohm.

 Keep the antenna line on the PCB as short as possible to reduce the loss.  Antenna line must have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid

meanders and abrupt curves.

 Keep one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane, if possible.  Surround (on both the sides, over and under) the antenna line on PCB with Ground,

avoid having other signal tracks facing directly the antenna line of track.

 The ground around the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the

Ground Plane by placing vias once per 2mm at least.

 Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from antenna line.  Keep the antenna line far away from power supply lines.  Keep the antenna line far away from GSM RF lines.  If you have EM noisy devices around the PCB hosting the module, such as fast

switching ICs, take care of the shielding of the antenna line by burying it inside the layers of PCB and surround it with Ground planes, or shield it with a metal frame cover.

 If you do not have EM noisy devices around the PCB hosting the module, use a

strip-line on the superficial copper layer for the antenna line. The line attenuation will be lower than a buried one.

GNSS Antenna Requirements

GNSS active antenna must be used or integrated in the application.

8.3.2. GNSS Antenna – Installation Guidelines

• The antenna must be installed according to the antenna manufacturer’s instructions to obtain the maximum performance of GNSS receiver.

• The antenna location must be evaluated carefully if operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

• The antenna must not be installed inside metal cases or near any obstacle that may degrade features like antenna lobes and gain.

8.3.3. Powering the External LNA (active antenna)

The LNA of active antenna needs a source of power because 1.8V or 3V DC voltage needed by active antenna is not supplied by the ML865C1 module, but can be easily included by the host design.

In order to easily rework the ML865C1 is suggested to consider on the application a 1.5 mm placement inhibit area around the module.

It is also suggested, as common rule for an SMT component, to avoid having a mechanical part of the application in direct contact with the module.

NOTE:

In the customer application, the region under WIRING INHIBIT (see figure above) must be clear from signal or ground paths.

The PCB must be able to resist the higher temperatures which are occurring at the lead-free process. This issue should be discussed with the PCB-supplier. Generally, the wettability of tin-lead solder paste on the described surface plating is better compared to lead-free solder paste. It is not necessary to panel the application PCB, however in that case it is suggested to use milled contours and predrilled board breakouts; scoring or v-cut solutions are not recommended.

Stencil

Stencil’s apertures layout can be the same of the recommended footprint (1:1), we

suggest a thickness of stencil foil ≥ 120 µm.
