3.2.1 GPIO supply voltage - IOVDD
For digital communication with other circuitry the pins of the serial interface UART may be
operated from supply voltages different from DVDD. Therefore an interface voltage supply
pin IOVDD is available which must be connected either to DVDD or to an external supply
within the tolerated voltage range of IOVDD.
If DVDD=0 V (e.g. in any sleep mode or if VDD<VOFF) and IOVDD is supplied,
there may be unpredictable and varying current from IOVDD caused by internal
floating nodes. It must be taken care that the current into IOVDD does not exceed
10 mA while DVDD=0 V. If DVDD=0 V and IOVDD is not supplied, do not apply
voltage to any above mentioned pin. This may lead to unpredictable malfunction
of the device.
IOVDD voltage must not exceed VDD voltage! A malfunction of the module may be
caused by such inverse supply!

3.7 Built-in Repeater
TCM 310x provides the option to activate a one or two-level repeater for EnOcean radio
telegrams.
1-level repeater: If a received telegram is a valid and original (not yet repeated), the tele-
gram is repeated after a random delay.
2-level repeater: If a received telegram is valid and original or repeated once, the telegram
is repeated after a random delay.
The repeated telegram is marked as “repeated” by an increased repeater counter.
Configuration of the repeater is done via serial interface commands.
For detailed recommendations regarding the usage of repeaters please refer to our applica-
tion note EnOcean Wireless Systems - Installation Notes (PDF), 09/2010.
3.8 Smart Acknowledge
TCM 310x provides a post master function with 20 mailboxes for sensors using Smart Ack
technology. For more information on smart acknowledge please refer to EnOcean Equip-
ment Profiles (EEP) V2.1.
When teaching-in a device using Smart Acknowledge please take care to switch off
all TCM 3xy devices which are not continuously powered. Otherwise these TCM
3xy modules could be declared postmaster. As soon as the power supply is
switched off, a postmaster would be missing and Smart Acknowledge would not
work any longer!
All configuration values set via ESP3 commands are held in RAM and will therefore
be lost after RESET or after a deep sleep phase. Only Smart Ack mailboxes are
stored in FLASH and are available also after RESET or a deep sleep phase.
After sending a CO_WR_RESET command, the following CO_READY event indi-
cates wake up reason 06 meaning ”A memory request from the CPU core does not
correspond to any valid memory location.” This is caused by the real reset cause
used when CO_WR_RESET will be performed. It is not a SW/HW malfunction.
2-level repeating function should only be activated if really needed! Otherwise the
system function can be compromised by collisions of telegrams.
USER MANUAL V1.07
TCM 310 / TCM 310C / TCM 310U
3.9 Remote Management
TCM 310x provides a transparent radio channel also for remote management messages
with a message length of up to 256 bytes. This enables an external micro controller con-
nected to TCM 310 to handle remote management request from external devices or to con-
trol other devices via remote management. For more information on remote management
please refer to EnOcean Equipment Profiles (EEP) V2.1.
4 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
4.1 Transmission range
The main factors that influence the system transmission range are type and location of the
antennas of the receiver and the transmitter, type of terrain and degree of obstruction of
the link path, sources of interference affecting the receiver, and dead” spots caused by
signal reflections from nearby conductive objects. Since the expected transmission range
strongly depends on this system conditions, range tests should categorically be performed
before notification of a particular range that will be attainable by a certain application.
The following figures for expected transmission range are considered by using a PTM, a
STM or a TCM radio transmitter device and the TCM radio receiver device with preinstalled
whip antenna and may be used as a rough guide only:
Line-of-sight connections: Typically 30 m range in corridors, up to 100 m in halls
Plasterboard walls / dry wood: Typically 30 m range, through max. 5 walls
Line-of-sight connections: Typically 30 m range in corridors, up to 100 m in halls
Ferro concrete walls / ceilings: Typically 10 m range, through max. 1 ceiling
Fire-safety walls, elevator shafts, staircases and supply areas should be considered as
screening.
The angle at which the transmitted signal hits the wall is very important. The effective wall
thickness and with it the signal attenuation varies according to this angle. Signals
should be transmitted as directly as possible through the wall. Wall niches should be
avoided. Other factors restricting transmission range:
Devices mounted on metal surfaces (shielding and detuning of antenna may cause heavy
loss of transmission range)
Hollow lightweight walls filled with insulating wool on metal foil
Suspended ceilings with panels of metal or carbon fibre
Lead glass or glass with metal coating, steel furniture
The distance between EnOcean receivers and other transmitting devices such as com-
puters, audio and video equipment that also emit high-frequency signals should be at least
0.5 m
A summarized application note to determine the transmission range within buildings is
available as download from www.enocean.com.

4.2 Antenna options
4.2.1 Overview
Several antenna types have been investigated by EnOcean. Please refer to our application
notes AN102, and AN105 which give an overview on our recommendations.
All TCM310x modules have been approved with whip antenna, and TCM310U with helical
antenna in addition.

4.4 Power supply requirements
In order to provide a good radio performance, great attention must be paid to the power
supply and a correct layout and shielding. It is recommended to place a 22 µF ceramic ca-
pacitor between VDD and GND close to the module (material: X5R, X7R, min 6.3 V to avoid
derating effects). In addition a 470 nH coil shall be inserted (Murata LQW18A, 0603) in the
power supply line.
For best performance it is recommended to keep the ripple on the power supply rail below
10 mVpp (see 3.4).
All GND pins must be connected to GND. Be careful not to create loops! The
ground must be realized ideally on both sides of the PCB board with many vias. At
least there must be a short star connection. Otherwise RF performance can be
reduced!
4.5 Layout recommendations
The length of lines connected to I/Os should not exceed 5 cm.
It is recommended to have a complete GND layer in the application PCB, at least
in the area below the module and directly connected components (e.g. mid-layer
of your application PCB).
Due to unisolated test points there are live signals accessible on the bottom side
of the module.
Please follow the following advices to prevent interference with your application
circuit:
We suggest avoiding any copper structure in the area directly underneath
the module (top-layer layout of your application PCB). If this is not possible
in your design, please provide coating on top of your PCB to prevent short
circuits to the module. All bare metal surfaces including vias have to be
covered (e.g. adequate layout of solder resist).
It is mandatory that the area marked by the circle in the figure below is
kept clear of any conductive structures in the top layer and 0.3 mm below.
Otherwise RF performance will be degraded!
Furthermore, any distortive signals (e.g. bus signals or power lines) should not be
routed underneath the module. If such signals are present in your design, we sug-
gest separating them by using a ground plane between module and these signal
lines.

The data above are also available as EAGLE library.
In order to ensure good solder quality a solder mask thickness of 150 µm is recommended.
In case a 120 µm solder mask is used, it is recommended to enlarge the solder print. The
pads on the solder print should then be 0.1 mm larger than the pad dimensions of the
module as specified in chapter 2.3. (not relative to the above drawing).
Nevertheless an application and production specific test regarding the amount of soldering
paste should be performed to find optimum parameters.

4.6 Soldering information
TCM 310x shall be soldered according to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C standard.
TCM 310 shall be handled according to Moisture Sensitivity Level MSL4 which means a floor
time of 72 h. TCM 310 may be soldered only once, since one time is already consumed at
production of the module itself.
Once the dry pack bag is opened, the desired quantity of units should be removed and the
bag resealed within two hours. If the bag is left open longer than 30 minutes the desiccant
should be replaced with dry desiccant. If devices have exceeded the specified floor life time
of 72 h, they may be baked according IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033B at max. 90°C for less than
60 h.
Devices packaged in moisture-proof packaging should be stored in ambient conditions not
exceeding temperatures of 40 °C or humidity levels of 90% r.H.
TCM 310x modules shall be soldered within 6 months after delivery!

5.2 FCC (United States) Certification
TCM 310C / TCM 310U LIMITED MODULAR APPROVAL
This is an RF module approved for Limited Modular use operating as an intentional trans-
mitting device with respect to 47 CFR 15.231(a-c) and is limited to OEM installation. The
module is optimized to operate using small amounts of energy, and may be powered by a
battery. The module transmits short radio packets comprised of control signals, (in some
cases the control signal may be accompanied with data) such as those used with alarm sys-
tems, door openers, remote switches, and the like. The module does not support continu-
ous streaming of voice, video, or any other forms of streaming data; it sends only short
packets containing control signals and possibly data. The module is designed to comply
with, has been tested according to 15.231(a-c), and has been found to comply with each
requirement. Thus, a finished device containing the TCM 310C / TCM 310U radio module
can be operated in the United States without additional Part 15 FCC approval (approval(s)
for unintentional radiators may be required for the OEM’s finished product), under EnO-
cean’s FCC ID number. This greatly simplifies and shortens the design cycle and develop-
ment costs for OEM integrators. The module can be triggered manually or automatically,
which cases are described below.
Manual Activation
The radio module can be configured to transmit a short packetized control signal if trig-
gered manually. The module can be triggered, by pressing a switch, for example.
The packet contains one (or more) control signals that is(are) intended to control some-
thing at the receiving end. The packet may also contain data. Depending on how much en-
ergy is available from the energy source, subsequent manual triggers can initiate the
transmission of additional control signals. This may be necessary if prior packet(s)
was(were) lost to fading or interference. Subsequent triggers can also be initiated as a pre-
caution if any doubt exists that the first packet didn’t arrive at the receiver. Each packet
that is transmitted, regardless of whether it was the first one or a subsequent one, will only
be transmitted if enough energy is available from the energy source.
Automatic Activation
The radio module also can be configured to transmit a short packetized control signal
if triggered automatically, by a relevant change of its inputs or in response to receiving a
signal from another transmitter, for example. Again, the packet contains a control signal
that is intended to control something at the receiving end and may also contain data. As
above, it is possible for the packet to get lost and never reach the receiver. However, if
enough energy is available from the energy source, and the module has been configured to
do so, then another packet or packets containing the control signal may be transmitted at a
later time.
The device is capable to operate as a repeater, which can receive signals from the following
list of FCC/IC approved transmitters, and retransmit the signals.
