Note: If the power supply for BAT pins can support up to 2A, using a total of more than 220uF capacitors is recommended, or else users must use a total of 1000uF capacitors, in order to avoid the voltage drop of more than 300mV. Some multi-layer ceramic chip (MLCC) capacitors (0.1/1uF) with low ESR in high frequency band can be used for EMC. These capacitors should be put as close as possible to VBAT pads. Also, user should keep VBAT trace on the circuit board wider than 2 mm to minimize PCB trace impedance. The following figure shows the recommended circuit.

This solution performs well, even in very challenging environmental conditions where conventional GNSS receivers fail, and provides a platform to enable wireless operators to address both location-based services and emergency mandates. 4.3.1 GNSS Technical specification Tracking sensitivity: -159 dBm(GPS)/-158 dBm(GLONASS) Cold-start sensitivity: -148 dBm Accuracy (Open Sky): 2.5m (CEP50) TTFF (Open Sky) : Hot start <1s, Cold start<35s Receiver Type: 16-channel, C/A Code GPS L1 Frequency: 1575.42±1.023MHz GLONASS: 1597.5~1605.8 MHz Update rate: Default 1 Hz](https://usermanual.wiki/Simcom/201709.SIM7600A-User-Manual-V1-01-20171010/User-Guide-3598133-Page-41.png)

If the antenna is passive, it is suggested that the external LNA should be used. 4.3.2 GNSS Application Guide Users can adopt an active antenna or a passive antenna as GNSS signal transceiver. In this document, all GNSS specification mentioned is from passive antenna. The following is the reference circuit. Figure 30: Active antenna circuit Figure 31: Passive antenna circuit (Default) In above figures, the components C1 and L1, L2 are used for antenna matching, the values of the components can only be obtained after the antenna tuning and usually provided by antenna vendor. C2 in Figure 29 is used for DC blocking. L3 is the matching component of the external LNA, and the value of L3 is determined by the LNA characteristic and PCB layout. Both VDD of active antenna and V_LNA need external power supplies which should be considered according to active antenna and LNA characteristic. LDO/DCDC is recommended to get lower current consuming by shutting down active antennas and LNA when GNSS is not working.](https://usermanual.wiki/Simcom/201709.SIM7600A-User-Manual-V1-01-20171010/User-Guide-3598133-Page-42.png)

NMEA sentences are automatic and no command is provided. NMEA sentences include GSV, GGA, RMC, GSA, and VTG. Before using GNSS, user should configure SIM7600A in proper operating mode by AT command. Please refer to related document for details. SIM7600A can also get position location information through AT directly. Note: GNSS is closed by default, it could be started by AT+CGPS. The AT command has two parameters, the first is on/off, and the second is GNSS mode. Default mode is standalone mode. AGPS mode needs more support from the mobile telecommunication network.

GSM/WCDMA / LTE Idle Software is active. Module is registered to the network, and the module is ready to communicate. GSM/WCDMA / LTE Talk 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. GSM/WCDMA/LTE Standby Module is ready for data transmission, but no data is currently sent or received. In this case, power consumption depends on network settings. GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA / LTE transmission There is data transmission in progress. In this case, power consumption is related to network settings (e.g. power control level); uplink/downlink data rates, etc. Minimum functionality mode AT command “AT+CFUN=0” can be used to set the module to a minimum functionality mode without removing the power supply. In this mode, the RF part of the module will not work and the USIM card will not be accessible, but the serial port and USB port are still accessible. The power consumption in this mode is lower than normal mode. Flight mode AT command “AT+CFUN=4” or pulling down the FLIGHTMODE pin can be used to set the module to flight mode without removing the](https://usermanual.wiki/Simcom/201709.SIM7600A-User-Manual-V1-01-20171010/User-Guide-3598133-Page-45.png)

The power consumption in this mode is lower than normal mode. Power off Module will go into power off mode by sending the AT command “AT+CPOF” or by pulling down the PWRKEY pin normally. In this mode the power management unit shuts down the power supply and software is not active. The serial port and USB are is not accessible. 5.3.2 Sleep Mode In sleep mode, the current consumption of module will be reduced to the minimal level, and module can still receive paging message and SMS. Several hardware and software conditions must be satisfied together in order to let Module enter into sleep mode: 1. UART condition 2. USB condition 3. Software condition Note: Before designing, pay attention to how to realize sleeping/waking function and refer to Document [26] for more details. 5.3.3 Minimum Functionality Mode and Flight Mode Minimum functionality mode ceasesa majority functionof module, thus minimizing the power consumption. This mode is set by the AT command which provides a choice of the functionality levels. ● AT+CFUN=0: Minimum functionality ● AT+CFUN=1: Full functionality (Default) ● AT+CFUN=4: Flight mode If Module has been set to minimum functionality mode, the RF function and USIM card function will be closed. In this case, the serial port and USB are still accessible, but RF function and USIM card will be unavailable. If Module has been set to flight mode, the RF function will be closed. In this case, the serial port and USB are still accessible, but RF function will be unavailable. When Module is in minimum functionality or flight mode, it can return to full functionality by the AT command “AT+CFUN=1”. 5.4 Current Consumption The current consumption is listed in the table below.](https://usermanual.wiki/Simcom/201709.SIM7600A-User-Manual-V1-01-20171010/User-Guide-3598133-Page-46.png)

Safety Caution Table 42: 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 and not operate normally due to RF energy interference. Switch 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. Forgeting to think much of these instructions may impact the flight safety or offend local legal action, or both. Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases 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, especially with a mobile fee or an invalid SIM card. While you are in this condition and need emergent help, please remember to use 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 SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular terminal or mobile.](https://usermanual.wiki/Simcom/201709.SIM7600A-User-Manual-V1-01-20171010/User-Guide-3598133-Page-59.png)
