1.1 1.1 Descriptions of Update of MC8630 Module’s Hardware version
MC8630 module currently has three PCB versions, which are respectively MC8630MD_A, MC8630MD_B and MC8630MD_C. Among them, MC8630MD_A has been stopped production, MC8630MD_B and MC8630MD_C are for batch production. The difference between MC8630MD_A and MC8630MD_B lies in the replacement of power inductor and adding of 5 test points USB D+, USB D-, ON/OFF, TXD and RXD on PCB bottom layer. The difference between MC8630MD_B and MC8630MD_C lies in the replacement of PA & Duplexex and adding of PCM interface. All modifications do not affect the performance of module. You could distinguish three different versions of modules through the silkscreen area at the bottom of module, shown in figure 1.1:

4 Descriptions of Hardware Interfaces
4.1 Description
This section describes the function interfaces and usage of MC8630 modules in details, and provides the designing sample.
Power Power on/off Serial Port (only for version C) PCM interface USB interface UIM Card Audio Interface Antenna Interface
Remarks: In the system, the module layout should be far away from high-speed circuit, switch power, power transformer, large power inductor, or single chip microcomputer’s clock circui t.
4.2 Power and Reset
4.2.1 Power Design
The module could work under two modes: 1. powered by power adaptor; 2. powered by battery. The power could be directly supplied by external power, which is directly added to V_MAIN and satisfy the voltage in the table 4-1. The external power could be power adaptor, battery, USB power convertor, etc. It’s recommended that the power current is 1A.
T ab le 4-1 Voltage Features
Classification MIN. TYPICAL MAX. Input Voltage
3.0V 3.6V 4.4V
4.2.2 Power-on
The module could be turned on in the following two methods.
1. After the module is powered off, and then provide a 500-1000mS low level pulse to ON/OFF PIN.
2. Connect V_CHG to V_MAIN, and the module will be powered on automatically.
4.2.3 Power-off
To turn off the module, provide a 500-1000mS low level pulse to ON/OFF PIN as the module is powered on. If the module can’t be powered off after V_CHG is connected to V_MAIN, then the module would be automatically powered on after power-off.
4.2.4 Reset
You could turn off the module firstly and then turn it on to reset the module. ON/OFF timing figure is as follows: Provide a low logic to MC8630’s reset pin, and the baseband circuit in the module would reset. Select the circuit design based on the usage. Usually: Controlled by the switch and external GPIO, etc.
MC8630 Module
17
4.2.5 Other Device
In order to make sure the module’s data is saved safely and guarantee the security of the module’s data, please don’t cut off the power when the module is powered on. It’s strongly recommended that the battery or soft switch key like the power key on the mobile phone should be added.
4.3 Port
The module provides an integrated full duplex full flow control UART interface, whose maximal data rate is 230400bps, typical value is 11.5kbps. External interface is 2.6VCMOS level signal, input is compatible
3.3VCMOS level signaltheir logic functions conform to RS-232 interface standard.
Note: users need to extend UART1 to update software, if they’d like to connect module to DTE in the design phase.
The module’s output IO level is 2.6VTTLit needs to transfer the level when connect wi th sta nd ard 3 .3 V logic circuitsuch as MCU or RS232 drive chip MAX3238 etc, it’s not need level transfer circuit.
Note: when the RxD signal is at high level, the module will not be in dormant state
The support of serial port depends on different software versions. Some MC8630 module’s software
versions might not support the serial port function.
Not all software versions support the serial port function (only version C supports). When using MC8630 module’s URAT interface to communicate with PC or MCU, please pay attention to
TX and RX direction, especially, note that MC8630 UART interface only supports 1.8V. Therefore, the triode is usually used to realize level conversion for non 1.8V external UART. See figure 4-4, the resistance is just for reference. Please recalculate when designing it.
Figure 4-1 PIN Descriptions
Note: When designing or using the serial port, a 5.1K resistance should be paralleled to GND at CTS PIN of MC8630’s end.
4.4 USB Interface
The module provides a USB2.0 interface, which is composed of VBUS, D+ and D-. The module’s external circuit could connect directly with USB signal connector, but during the design process, try to add ESB protection component to avoid damage. Figure D12 shows USB2.0 ESD protection component with the
MC8630 Module
18
junction capacitance is smaller than 3P. VBUS might not connect with VBUS at external host end, but connect directly with the module’s VMAIN. The USB recommended voltage is: 3.0—5.6V, typical 5V.
Figure 4-2 USB 2.0 Interface
MC8630 module’s UBS power reference design: V_MAIN output voltage is adjusted by feedback resistance. Neither perform serial connection with any resistance or inductor, nor parallel connect with any capacitance. It’s advised to design V_MAIN output as typical voltage 3.6V. See figure 4-3.
Figure 4-3 MC8630 Module USB Power Design Diagram
4.5 UIM Card Interface
Three kinds of work voltage ClassA-5V±10%, ClassB-3V±10%, ClassC-1.8V±10% are specified in UICC standard. UIM card at least supports continuous two kinds of voltage: Class A/B or Class B/C. China Telecom’s clear requirements upon the terminal: The terminal should support Class B/C, and ClassB-3V±10%, ClassC-1.8V±10%, and should comply with the Power-on time sequence specified in ISO 7816. UIM_VPP should be hang up, and applied for 5V. MC8630 module supports UIM card, which includes 4 pins at the end. V_CARD is used to power UIM card. It’s strongly recommended to add ESD protection component when designing UIM circuit. See ESD protection component D2 in figure 4-4.
MC8630 Module
19
Figure 4-4 UIM card circuit reference design diagram
NOTE: Considering the difference on the output current from DATA pin of different cards, a 10K resistor should be used to pull up DATA pin to V_CARD. UIM card PCB layout should be close to the module as much as possible to avoid the interference of reading/writing UIM card from other sources.
4.6 Audio Interface
The module provides two audio inputs and two audio outputs through stamp-hole PIN. The module also provides 2 microphone interfaces and only one pair I/O works at the same time. Two audio outputs include 1 receiver differential output and 1 headset single-end output. Microphone It provides two microphone interfaces MIC1 and MIC_P, among which MIC2_P is differential interface. These two microphone inputs are internally coupled in AC domain and added a 1.8V offset voltage to directly connect the microphone. Earpiece It provides two earpieces: EAR1 & EAR2_P, and EAR1 is differential interface with 32Ω resistance;
while EAR2_P is single-ended interface with 32Ω resistance. CDMA module’s audio interfaces are designed as below:
Design of audio interface on the receiver Select the microphone with the sensitivity lower than -52dB since the output power for EAR1 is 50mW and the max. gain in MIC1 can reach up to 52dB. The level of MIC_1P is about 1.8V.
Note: if other kind of audio input method is adopted, the input signal should be within 2V. If the signal voltage is lower than 2V, then the pre-amplifier should be added. If the signal voltage is higher than 2V, then network attenuation should be added.
Design of audio interface on the earpiece Select the microphone with the sensitivity lower than -52dB since the output power for EAR2_P is 8.8mW and the max. gain in MIC2_P can reach up to52dB. The level of MIC_P is about 1.8V. The design is almost the same. If EAR2_P is used for hands-free speaker output, an audio power amplifier (e.g., LM4890) should be added. SPKR_EN can be used as the signal of enabling.
MC8630 Module

4.7 Antenna Interface
The module provides two RF connectors and two Pins, used for CDMA main antenna and auxiliary antenna. The performance of the antenna shou ld not be lower than CDMA1X. Please select RF connector or stamp-hole based on the actual demand. MC8630 dual antenna requirements: It’s strongly recommended to add auxiliary antenna when suing MC8630 module. In special cases, such as no requirements or low requirements on data rate, the auxiliary antenna might not be used.

5.3 Module’s Fastening Method
The module’s fastening method adopts direct manual soldering to avoid second-time soldering. It’s strongly recommend to use the manual soldering because MC8630 module board is just 0.8mm thick and QSC6085 BGA space is too small. The second-time soldering would cause the melting of soldering tin and lead to short circuit of QSC6085 main chip, such as USB disconnected, large current, etc.
