Cinterion® ALAS6A-US Hardware Interface Overview2 Interface Characteristics22ALAS6A-US_HIO_v00.130a 2016-09-28Confidential / PreliminaryPage 10 of 402 Interface CharacteristicsALAS6A-US is equipped with an SMT application interface that connects to the external appli-cation. The SMT application interface incorporates the various application interfaces as well as the RF antenna interface. 2.1 Application Interface2.1.1 USB InterfaceALAS6A-US supports a USB 3.0 Super Speed (5Gbps) device interface that is High Speed and Full Speed compatible. The USB interface is primarily intended for use as command and data interface, and for downloading firmware1. The USB host is responsible for supplying the VUSB_IN line. This line is for voltage detection only. The USB part (driver and transceiver) is supplied by means of BATT+. This is because ALAS6A-US is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 3.0”2.Figure 2: USB circuitTo properly connect the module's USB interface to the external application, a USB 3.0 compat-ible connector and cable or hardware design is required. Furthermore, the USB modem driver distributed with ALAS6A-US needs to be installed.1. Note: For firmware download, the module enumerates new as a USB 2.0 device. Also, it is not possibleto use the USB 2.0 High Speed device mode and the USB 3.0 Super speed device mode simultaneously.2. The specification is ready for download on http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/VREG (3V075) BATT+USB_DP3)lin. reg.GNDModuleDetection only VUSB_IN2)USB part1)1) All serial (including RS) and pull-up resistors for data lines are implemented.

Application layout should in this case implement a differential impedance of 90 ohms for proper signal integrity.VBUS1µF2) Since VUSB_IN is used for detection only it is recommended not to add any further blocking capacitors on the VUSB_IN line.Host wakeup RING0USB_SSRX_NUSB_SSRX_PUSB_SSTX_NUSB_SSTX_PUSB_SS_PHYUSB_HS_PHYUSB 2.0 ControllerUSB 3.0 Controller2.02.03.0100nF100nFSMT
Cinterion® ALAS6A-US Hardware Interface Overview2.1 Application Interface22ALAS6A-US_HIO_v00.130a 2016-09-28Confidential / PreliminaryPage 11 of 402.1.2 UICC/SIM/USIM InterfaceALAS6A-US has two UICC/SIM/USIM interfaces compatible with the 3GPP 31.102 and ETSI 102 221. These are wired to the host interface in order to be connected to an external SIM card holder. Five pads on the SMT application interface are reserved for each of the two SIM inter-faces.The UICC/SIM/USIM interface supports 3V and 1.8V SIM cards. The CCINx signal serves to detect whether a tray (with SIM card) is present in the card holder. Using the CCINx signal is mandatory for compliance with the GSM 11.11 recommendation if the mechanical design of the host application allows the user to remove the SIM card during operation. To take advantage of this feature, an appropriate SIM card detect switch is required on the card holder. For example, this is true for the model supplied by Molex, which has been tested to operate with ALAS6A-US and is part of the Gemalto M2M reference equipment sub-mitted for type approval. See Chapter 7 for Molex ordering numbers.Note: No guarantee can be given, nor any liability accepted, if loss of data is encountered after removing the SIM card during operation. Also, no guarantee can be given for properly initializ-ing any SIM card that the user inserts after having removed the SIM card during operation. In this case, the application must restart ALAS6A-US.By default, only the 1st SIM interface is available and can be used. Using the AT command AT^SCFG=”SIM/CS” it is possible to switch between the two SIM interfaces. Command set-tings are non-volatile - for details see [1].Table 1: Signals of the SIM interface (SMT application interface)Signal DescriptionGND Ground connection for SIM interfaces. Optionally a separate SIM ground line using e.g., pad P12, may be used to improve EMC.CCCLK1CCCLK2 Chipcard clock lines for 1st and 2nd SIM interface.CCVCC1CCVCC2 SIM supply voltage lines for 1st and 2nd SIM interface.CCIO1CCIO2 Serial data lines for 1st and 2nd SIM interface, input and output.CCRST1CCRST2 Chipcard reset lines for 1st and 2nd SIM interface.CCIN1CCIN2 Input on the baseband processor for detecting a SIM card tray in the holder. If the SIM is removed during operation the SIM interface is shut down immediately to prevent destruc-tion of the SIM. The CCINx signal is active low.The CCINx signal is mandatory for applications that allow the user to remove the SIM card during operation. The CCINx signal is solely intended for use with a SIM card. It must not be used for any other purposes. Failure to comply with this requirement may invalidate the type approval of ALAS6A-US.
Cinterion® ALAS6A-US Hardware Interface Overview2.1 Application Interface22ALAS6A-US_HIO_v00.130a 2016-09-28Confidential / PreliminaryPage 12 of 40Figure 3: First UICC/SIM/USIM interfaceThe total cable length between the SMT application interface pads on ALAS6A-US and the pads of the external SIM card holder must not exceed 100mm in order to meet the specifica-tions of 3GPP TS 51.010-1 and to satisfy the requirements of EMC compliance.To avoid possible cross-talk from the CCCLKx signal to the CCIOx signal be careful that both lines are not placed closely next to each other. A useful approach is using the GND line to shield the CCIOx line from the CCCLKx line.Note: Figure 3 shows how to connect a SIM card holder to the first SIM interface. With the sec-ond SIM interface some internally integrated components on the SIM circuit will have to be ex-ternally integrated as shown for the second SIM interface in Figure 4. The external components at CCIN2 should be populated as close as possible to the signal‘s SMT padFigure 4: Second UICC/SIM/USIM interfaceModuleopen: Card removedclosed: Card insertedCCRST1CCVCC1CCIO1CCCLK1CCIN1SIM /UICC1n220nSMT application interfaceGNDModuleOpen: Card removedClosed: Card insertedCCRST2CCVCC2CCIO2CCCLK2CCIN2SIM /UICC1nF220nFSMT application interfaceGNDVEXT100pF22k2k210k

Note that some digital audio interface details are still to be defined, and the feature scope may be adapted accordingly.2.1.4 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)ALAS6A-US provides two unbalanced ADC input lines: ADC1_IN and ADC2_IN. They can be used to measure two independent, externally connected DC voltages in the range of 0.05V to VBATT+. 2.1.5 GPIO InterfaceALAS6A-US has 10 GPIOs for external hardware devices. Each GPIO can be configured for use as input or output. All settings are AT command controlled. GPIO1...GPIO10 may be configured as low current indicator signal (see Section 2.1.6.3), or may be set as remote host wakeup lines (see Section 2.1.6.4).

High state of PWR_IND indicates that the module is switched off. The state of PWR_IND immediately changes to low when IGT is pulled low. For state detection an external pull-up resistor is required.2.1.6.2 Behavior of the RING0 LineThe RING0 line serves to indicate incoming calls and other types of URCs (Unsolicited Result Code).The RING0 line behavior and usage can be configured by AT command. For details see [1]: AT^SCFG.2.1.6.3 Low Current IndicatorA low current indication is optionally available over a GPIO line. By default, low current indica-tion is disabled and the GPIO pads can be configured and employed as usual. For a GPIO pad to work as a low current indicator the feature has to be enabled by AT com-mand (see [1]: AT^SCFG: MEopMode/PowerMgmt/LCI). By default, the GPIO6 pad is config-ured as LCI_IND signal.If enabled, the GPIOx/LCI_IND signal is high when the module is sleeping. 2.1.6.4 Remote WakeupIf no call, data or message transfer is in progress, the external host application may shut downits own module interfaces or other components in order to save power. If a call, data, or otherrequest (URC) arrives, the external application can be notified of this event and be woken upagain by a state transition of a configurable remote wakeup line. Available as remote wakeuplines are all GPIO signals as well as the RING0 line. Please refer to [1]: AT^SCFG: "Re-moteWakeUp/..." for details on how to configure these lines for defined wakeup events onspecified device interfaces.
Cinterion® ALAS6A-US Hardware Interface Overview2.2 GSM/UMTS/LTE Antenna Interface22ALAS6A-US_HIO_v00.130a 2016-09-28Confidential / PreliminaryPage 15 of 402.2 GSM/UMTS/LTE Antenna InterfaceThe ALAS6A-US GSM/UMTS/LTE antenna interface comprises a GSM/UMTS/LTE main an-tenna as well as a UMTS/LTE Rx diversity/MIMO antenna to improve signal reliability and qual-ity1. The interface has an impedance of 50. ALAS6A-US is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna interface without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power.The external antennas must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radi-ated power, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Matching networks are not in-cluded on the ALAS6A-US PCB and should be placed in the host application, if the antenna does not have an impedance of 50.Regarding the return loss ALAS6A-US provides the following values in the active band:1. By delivery default the UMTS/LTE Rx diversity/MIMO antenna is configured as available for the modulesince its usage is mandatory for LTE. Please refer to [1] for details on how to configure antenna settings.

Cinterion® ALAS6A-US Hardware Interface Overview2.2 GSM/UMTS/LTE Antenna Interface22ALAS6A-US_HIO_v00.130a 2016-09-28Confidential / PreliminaryPage 16 of 402.2.1 Antenna InstallationThe antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pads (ANT_MAIN; ANT_DRX_MIMO) andtheir neighboring ground pads directly to the application’s PCB.The distance between the antenna pads and their neighboring GND pads has been optimizedfor best possible impedance. To prevent mismatch, special attention should be paid to thesepads on the application’ PCB.The wiring of the antenna connection, starting from the antennapad to the application’s antenna must result in a 50 line impedance. Line width and distanceto the GND plane need to be optimized with regard to the PCB’s layer stack. Related instruc-tions are given in Section 2.2.2.To prevent receiver desensitization due to interferences generated by fast transients like highspeed clocks on the external application PCB, it is recommended to realize the antenna con-nection line using embedded Stripline rather than Micro-Stripline technology. Please see Sec-tion 2.2.2 for instructions of how to design the antenna connection in order to achieve therequired 50 line impedance.For type approval purposes (i.e., FCC KDB 996369 related to modular approval requirements),an external application must connect the RF signal in one of the following ways:•Via 50 coaxial antenna connector (common connectors are U-FL or SMA) placed as closeas possible to the module's antenna pad.• By soldering the antenna to the antenna connection line on the application’s PCB (withoutthe use of any connector) as close as possible to the module’s antenna pad.• By routing the application PCB’s antenna to the module’s antenna pad in the shortest pos-sible way.

Line impedance depends on line width, but also on other PCB characteristics like dielectric, height and layer gap. The sample stripline width of 0.40mm is recommended for an application with a PCB layer stack resembling the one of the ALAS6A-US evaluation board. For different layer stacks the stripline width will have to follow stripline routing rules, avoiding 90 degree corners and using the shortest dis-tance to the PCB’s coaxial antenna connector.Figure 7: Routing to application‘s RF connectore.g.ANT_ MAING N D G N DEdge of module PCBStripline (50 ohms) on top layer of evaluation board from antenna pad to module edgeWidth = 0.40 mmE.g., U.FL antenna connector50 ohms microstrip lineG N D G N DGround connectionG N D G N D

The PWR_IND line is an open collector that needs an external pull-up resistor which connects to the voltage supply VCC µC of the microcontroller. Low state of the open collector pulls the PWR_IND signal low and indicates that the ALAS6A-US module is active, high level notifies the Power Down mode. If the module is in Power Down mode avoid current flowing from any other source into the mod-ule circuit, for example reverse current from high state external control lines. Therefore, the controlling application must be designed to prevent reverse flow.While developing SMT applications it is strongly recommended to provide test pointsfor certain signals, i.e., lines to and from the module - for debug and/or test purposes.The SMT application should allow for an easy access to these signals. For details onhow to implement test points see [3].The EMC measures are best practice recommendations. In fact, an adequate EMC strategy for an individual application is very much determined by the overall layout and, especially, the po-sition of components. Some LGA pads are connected to clocks or high speed data streams that might interfere with the module’s antenna. The RF receiver would then be blocked at certain frequencies (self in-terference). The external application’s PCB tracks connected to these pads should therefore be well shielded or kept away from the antenna. This applies especially to the USB and UICC/SIM interfaces.Disclaimer:No warranty, either stated or implied, is provided on the sample schematic diagram shown in Figure 9 and the information detailed in this section. As functionality and compliance with na-tional regulations depend to a great amount on the used electronic components and the indi-vidual application layout manufacturers are required to ensure adequate design and operating safeguards for their products using ALAS6A-US modules.

There are two separate voltage domains for BATT+:• BATT+_RF with 2 lines for the RF power amplifier supply • BATT+ with 2 lines for the general power management. The main power supply from an external application has to be a single voltage source and has to be expanded to two sub paths (star structure). Each voltage domain must be decoupled by application with low ESR capacitors (> 47µF MLCC @ BATT+; > 4x47µF MLCC @ BATT+_RF) as close as possible to LGA pads. Figure 10 shows a sample circuit for decoupling capacitors for BATT+.Figure 10: Decoupling capacitor(s) for BATT+The power supply of ALAS6A-US must be able to provide the peak current during the uplink transmission. All key functions for supplying power to the device are handled by the power management IC. It provides the following features:• Stabilizes the supply voltages for the baseband using switching regulators and low drop lin-ear voltage regulators.• Switches the module's power voltages for the power-up and -down procedures.• Delivers, across the VEXT line, a regulated voltage for an external application.• LDO to provide SIM power supply.BATT+22Decoupling capacitorse.g. 47µF X5R MLCC4xGNDBATT+BATT+_RFModuleSMT interface 1x

Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and oper-ating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product. Gemalto M2M assumes no liability for customer’s failure to comply with these precautions.When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of mobiles. Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, if instructed to do so by the guide-lines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy. The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hear-ing aids can be affected by interference from cellular terminals or mobiles placed close to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufac-turer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their hand-held mobile away from the pacemaker, while it is on. Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it can-not be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, 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 elec-trical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off the cellular terminal or mobile wherever forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.IMPORTANT!Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks. Because of this, connection cannot be guaranteed at all times under all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential com-munications, for example emergency calls. Remember, 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 calls if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call.Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular termi-nal or mobile.
