1. Overview
Overview
OverviewOverview
The aim of this document is the description of some hardware solutions useful for
developing a product with the Telit UC864-E-AUTO and UC864-AWS-AUTO modules.
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-AUTO & UC864-AWS-AUTO modules.
For further hardware details that may not be explained in this document refer to the

Upon turning on UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO, the module is not activated yet
because the boot sequence of UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO is still going on internally.
It takes about 10 seconds to complete the initializing the module internally.

5.3. Turning OFF the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO
Turning off the device can be done in three ways:
• by software command (see UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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.

5.3.1. Shutdown by Software Command
UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO can be shut down by a software command.
When a shut down command is sent, UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO goes into the
finalization state and finally will shut down PWRMON at the end of this state.
The period of the finalization state can differ according to the situation in which the
UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO is so it cannot be fixed definitely.
Normally it will be above 10 seconds later from sending a shut down command and
DTE should monitor the status of PWRMON to see the actual power off.

5.3.2. Hardware Shutdown
To turn OFF UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO the pad ON/OFF# must be tied low for at
least 2 seconds and then released. Same circuitry and timing for the power on must
be used.
When the hold time of ON/OFF# is above 2 seconds, UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO
goes into the finalization state and finally will shut down PWRMON at the end of this
state.

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

6.2. 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
6.2.1. 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
6.2.1.1. + 5V Input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines
• The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence there is 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 must 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 UC864-E-AUTO / AWSAUTO, 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 must be inserted close to the power input, in order to
save UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO from power polarity inversion.
