1. Overview

The aim of this document is the description of some hardware solutions useful for developing a product with the Telit UC864-E/G/WD/WDU module.
In this document all the basic functions of a mobile phone will be taken into account; for each one of them a proper hardware solution will be suggested and eventually the wrong solutions and common errors to be avoided will be evidenced. Obviously this document cannot embrace the whole hardware solutions and products that may be designed. The wrong solutions to be avoided must be considered as mandatory, while the suggested hardware configurations must not be considered mandatory, instead the information given must be used as a guide and a starting point for properly developing your product with the Telit UC864-E/G/WD/WDU module. For further hardware details that may not be explained in this document refer to the Telit UC864-E/G/WD/WDU Product Description document where all the hardware information is reported.

4.2. Initialization and Activation state

Upon turning on UC864-E/G/WD/WDU, UC864-E/G/WD/WDU is not activated yet because the boot sequence of UC864-E/G/WD/WDU is still going on internally. It takes about 6.5 seconds to complete the initializing the module internally.
For this reason, it would be useless to try to access UC864-E/G/WD/WDU during a Initialization state as below. To get stability, UC864-E/G/WD/WDU needs at least 6.5 seconds after the PWRMON goes High

During the Initialization state, any kind of AT-command is not available. DTE must be waiting for the Activation state to communicate with UC864-E/G/WD/WDU.

NOTE:
To check if the UC864-E/G/WD/WDU has powered on, the hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. When PWRMON goes high, the module has powered on.
NOTE:
Do not use any pull up resistor on the ON# line, it is internally pulled up. Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the UC864-E/G/WD/WDU power regulator and improper power on/off of the module. The line ON# must be connected only in open collector configuration.
NOTE:
In this document all the lines are inverted. Active low signals are labeled with a name that ends with a "#" or with a bar over the name.
NOTE:
UC864-E/G/WD/WDU turns fully on also by supplying power to the Charge pad (provided there is a battery on the VBATT pads).
NOTE:
UC864-E version also turns fully on by supplying power to the USB_VBUS pin (provided there is a battery on the VBATT pads). Care must be taken to avoid supplying power to the USB_VBUS pin before the module turns on. To check if the UC864-E has powered on, the hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. When PWRMON goes high, the module has powered on.

4.3. Turning OFF the UC864-E/G/WD/WDU

Turning off the device can be done in three ways:
by software command (see UC864-E/G/WD/WDU Software User Guide)
by hardware shutdown
by Hardware Unconditional Restart
When the device is shut down by software command or by hardware shutdown, it issues to the network a detach request that informs the network that the device will not be reachable any more.
4.3.1. Hardware Shutdown
To turn OFF UC864-E/G/WD/WDU the pad ON# must be tied low for at least 2 seconds and then released. Same circuitry and timing for the power on must be used.
- 03/02/09
The device shuts down after the release of the ON# pad.
NOTE:
To turn OFF UC864-E version, first of all, you MUST cut off the supplying power to the USB_VBUS, or the module does not turn off.
TIP:
To check if the device has powered off, hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. When PWRMON goes low, the device has powered off.
4.3.2. Hardware Unconditional Restart
To unconditionally restart UC864-E/G/WD/WDU, the pad RESET# must be tied low for at least 200 milliseconds and then released.
A simple circuit to do it is:
Unconditional Restart impulse

NOTE:
Do not use any pull up resistor on the RESET# line or any totem pole digital output. Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the UC864-E/G/WD/WDU power regulator and improper functioning of the module. The line RESET# must be connected only in open collector configuration.
TIP:
The unconditional hardware Restart must always be implemented on the boards and the software must use it as an emergency exit procedure.
For example:
1- Let us assume you need to drive the RESET# pad with a totem pole output of a
+1.8/5 V microcontroller (uP_OUT2):

In GSM/GPRS mode, RF transmission is not continuous and it is packed into bursts at a base frequency of about 216 Hz, and the relative current peaks can be as high as about 2A. Therefore the power supply has to be designed in order to withstand these current peaks without big voltage drops; this means that both the electrical design and the board layout must be designed for this current flow. If the layout of the PCB is not well designed, a strong noise floor is generated on the ground; this will reflect on all the audio paths producing an audible annoying noise at 216 Hz; if the voltage drops during the peak, current absorption is too much. The device may even shut down as a consequence of the supply voltage drop.

TIP:
The electrical design for the Power supply must be made ensuring that it will be capable of a peak current output of at least 2A.

5.2. General Design Rules

The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps:
the electrical design
the thermal design
the PCB layout

5.2.1. Electrical Design Guidelines

The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly on 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
