Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and operating 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. Siemens AG assumes no liability for customer 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 guidelines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy. The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing 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 manufacturer 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 cannot 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 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. 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. 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 handsfree operation. Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle. Handsfree devices must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or operation can constitute a safety hazard.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 17 of 116 15.03.2004 SOS 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 communications, 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 terminal or mobile.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 18 of 116 15.03.2004 2 Product concept Designed for use on any GSM network in the world, Siemens XT55 is a tri-band GSM/GPRS engine that works on the three frequencies GSM 900 MHz, GSM 1800 MHz and GSM 1900 MHz and supports also GPS technology for satellite navigation. XT55 features GPRS multislot class 10 and supports the GPRS coding schemes CS-1, CS-2, CS-3 and CS-4. The compact design of the XT55 module makes it easy to integrate GSM / GPRS and GPS as an all-in-one solution. It saves significantly both time and cost for integration of additional hardware components. The integrated GPS module provides instant location information using satellite signals to enable users to ascertain where they are anywhere in the world. It consists of a fully integrated RF receiver and a 12 channel baseband. The tiny XT55 module incorporates all you need to create high-performance GSM/GPRS solutions: baseband processor, power supply ASIC, complete radio frequency circuit including a power amplifier and antenna interface. The power amplifier is directly fed from the supply voltage GSM_BATT+. A compact “stacked FLASH / SRAM” device stores the XT55 software in the flash memory section, and static RAM section provides the additional storage capacity required by GPRS connectivity. The physical interface to the cellular application is made through a board-to-board connector. It consists of 80 pins, required for controlling the unit, receiving GPS location data, transferring data and audio signals and providing power supply lines. XT55 comprises two serial GSM interfaces (ASC0 and ASC1) and two serial GPS interfaces (Serial data 1 and Serial data 2) giving you maximum flexibility for easy integration with the Man-Machine Interface (MMI). An extremely versatile audio concept offers various audio interfaces, each available on the board-to-board connector: a digital audio interface (DAI) and two analog audio interfaces. Using AT commands you can easily switch back and forth and select different audio modes. The external dual-band or triple-band GSM/GPRS antenna can be connected optionally to a connector on the top side or to a pad on the bottom side. A separate GPS antenna must be connected to the GPS part of the module in order to properly receive satellite data. For battery powered applications, XT55 features a charging control which can be used to charge a Li-Ion battery. The charging circuit must be implemented outside the module on the application platform.

Ordering information for mating connectors and cables are included. 3.1 GSM/GPRS operating modes The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following chapters. All information regarding GPS operating modes are available in Chapter 4.3. Table 3: Overview of GSM/GPRS operating modes Mode Function GSM / GPRS SLEEP Various powersave modes set with AT+CFUN command. Software is active to minimum extent. If the module was registered to the GSM network in IDLE mode, it is registered and paging with the BTS in SLEEP mode, too. Power saving can be chosen at different levels: The NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode (AT+CFUN=0) disables the AT interface. The CYCLIC SLEEP modes AT+CFUN=5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 alternatively activate and deactivate the AT interfaces to allow permanent access to all AT commands. GSM IDLE Software is active. Once registered to the GSM network, paging with BTS is carried out. The module is ready to send and receive. GSM TALK Connection between two subscribers is in progress. Power consumption depends on network coverage individual settings, such as DTX off/on, FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, antenna. GPRS IDLE Module is ready for GPRS data transfer, but no data is currently sent or received. Power consumption depends on network settings and GPRS configuration (e.g. multislot settings). Normal operation GPRS DATA GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on network settings (e.g. power control level), uplink / downlink data rates and GPRS configuration (e.g. used multislot settings).

The Power Supply ASIC (PSU-ASIC) disconnects the supply voltage from the baseband part of the circuit. Only a voltage regulator in the PSU-ASIC is active for powering the RTC. Software is not active. The serial interfaces are not accessible. Operating voltage (connected to GSM_BATT+) remains applied. Alarm mode Restricted operation launched by RTC alert function while the module is in POWER DOWN mode. Module will not be registered to GSM network. Limited number of AT commands is accessible. Charge-only mode Limited operation for battery powered applications. Enables charging while module is detached from GSM network. Limited number of AT commands is accessible. There are several ways to launch Charge-only mode: · From POWER DOWN mode: Connect charger to the charger input pin of the external charging circuit and the module’s GSM_POWER pin when XT55 was powered down by AT^SMSO. · From Normal mode: Connect charger to the charger input pin of the external charging circuit and the module’s GSM_POWER pin, then enter AT^SMSO. Charge mode during normal operation Normal operation (SLEEP, IDLE, TALK, GPRS IDLE, GPRS DATA) and charging running in parallel. Charge mode changes to Charge-only mode when the module is powered down before charging has been completed. See Table 11 and Table 12 for the various options of waking up the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 module and proceeding from one mode to another.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 27 of 116 15.03.2004 3.2 Power supply The power supply for the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 module has to be a single voltage source of VGSM_BATT+= 3.3V...4.8V. It must be able to provide sufficient current in a transmit burst which typically rises to 1.6A. All the key functions for supplying power to the device are handled by an ASIC power supply. The ASIC provides the following features: · Stabilizes the supply voltages for the GSM baseband using low drop linear voltage regulators. · Controls the module's power up and power down procedures. A watchdog logic implemented in the baseband processor periodically sends signals to the ASIC, allowing it to maintain the supply voltage for all digital XT55 components. Whenever the watchdog pulses fail to arrive constantly, the module is turned off. · Delivers, across the GSM_VDD pin, a regulated voltage of 2.9V. The output voltage GSM_VDD may be used to supply, for example, an external LED or a level shifter. However, the external circuitry must not cause any spikes or glitches on voltage GSM_VDD. This voltage is not available in POWER DOWN mode. Therefore, the GSM_VDD pin can be used to indicate whether or not GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 module is in POWER DOWN mode. · Provides power to the SIM interface. The RF power amplifier is driven directly from GSM_BATT+. 3.2.1 Power supply pins on the board-to-board connector Five GSM_BATT+ pins of the board-to-board connector are dedicated to connect the supply voltage, five GND pins are recommended for grounding. The values stated below must be measured directly at the reference points on the XT55 board (TP GSM_BATT+ and TP GND illustrated in Figure 52). The GSM_POWER and GSM_CHARGE pins serve as control signals for charging a Li-Ion battery. GSM_VDDLP can be used to back up the RTC.

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 28 of 116 15.03.2004 3.2.2 Minimizing power losses When designing the power supply for your application please pay specific attention to power losses. Ensure that the input voltage VGSM_BATT+ never drops below 3.3V on the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 board, not even in a transmit burst where current consumption can rise to typical peaks of 1.6A. It should be noted that the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 module switches off when exceeding these limits. Any voltage drops that may occur in a transmit burst should not exceed 400mV. For further details see Chapter 6.4. The best approach to reducing voltage drops is to use a board-to-board connection as recommended, and a low impedance power source. The resistance of the power supply lines on the host board and of a battery pack should also be considered. Note: If the application design requires an adapter cable between both board-to-board connectors, use a cable as short as possible in order to minimize power losses. Example: If the length of the cable reaches the maximum length of 200mm, this connection may cause, for example, a resistance of 50m! in the GSM_BATT+ line and 50m! in the GND line. As a result, a 1.6A transmit burst would add up to a total voltage drop of 160mV. Plus, if a battery pack is involved, further losses may occur due to the resistance across the battery lines and the internal resistance of the battery including its protective circuit. Transmit burst 1.6ATransmit burst 1.6ARippleDropmin. 3.3VGSM_BATT+ Figure 4: Power supply limits during transmit burst The input voltage VGSM_BATT+ must be measured directly at the test points on the XT55 board (TP GSM_BATT+ and TP GND illustrated in Figure 52). 3.2.3 Monitoring power supply To help you monitor the supply voltage you can use the AT^SBV command which returns the voltage measured at TP GSM_BATT+ and GND. The voltage is continuously measured at intervals depending on the operating mode on the RF interface. The duration of measuring ranges from 0.5s in TALK/DATA mode up to 50s when the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 is in IDLE mode or Limited Service (deregistered). The displayed voltage (in mV) is averaged over the last measuring period before the AT^SBV command was executed. For details please refer to [1].

The GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 would immediately switch off after having started and detected these inappropriate conditions. 3.3.1 Turn on the GSM/GPRS part of XT55 The GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 can be activated in a variety of ways, which are described in the following chapters: · via ignition line GSM_IGT: starts normal operating state (see Chapters 3.3.1.1 and 3.3.1.2) · via GSM_POWER line: starts charging algorithm (see Chapters 3.5.4 and 3.3.1.3) · via RTC interrupt: starts Alarm mode (see Chapter 3.3.1.4)

This can be accomplished using an open drain/collector driver in order to avoid current flowing into this pin.

This result code does not appear when autobauding is active. See Chapter AT+IPR in [1]. In a battery operated XT55 application, the duration of the GSM_IGT signal must be 1s minimum when the charger is connected and you may want to go from Charge only mode to Normal mode. For details please see Chapter 3.3.1.2
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 31 of 116 15.03.2004 3.3.1.2 Timing of the ignition process When designing your application platform take into account that powering up the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 module requires the following steps. · The ignition line cannot be operated until VGSM_BATT+ passes the level of 3.0V. · The ignition line shall not be operated earlier than 10ms after the last falling edge of GSM_VDD. · 10ms after VGSM_BATT+ has reached 3.0V the ignition line can be switched low. The duration of the falling edge must not exceed 1ms. · Another 100ms are required to power up the module. · Ensure that VGSM_BATT+ does not fall below 3.0V while the ignition line is driven. Otherwise the module cannot be activated. · If the GSM_VDDLP line is fed from an external power supply as explained in Chapter 3.8, the GSM_IGT line is HiZ before the rising edge of GSM_BATT+.

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 32 of 116 15.03.2004 3.3.1.3 Turn on the GSM/GPRS part of XT55 using the GSM_POWER signal As detailed in Chapter 3.5.4, the charging adapter can be connected regardless of the module’s operating mode (except for Alarm mode). If the charger is connected to the charger input of the external charging circuit and the module’s GSM_POWER pin while XT55 is off, processor controlled fast charging starts (see Chapter 3.5.3). The GSM/GPRS part of XT55 enters a restricted mode, referred to as Charge-only mode where only the charging algorithm will be launched. During the Charge-only mode XT55 is neither logged on to the GSM network nor are the serial interfaces fully accessible. To switch to normal operation and log on to the GSM network, the GSM_IGT line needs to be activated. 3.3.1.4 Turn on the GSM/GPRS part of XT55 using the RTC (Alarm mode) Another power-on approach is to use the RTC, which is constantly supplied with power from a separate voltage regulator in the power supply ASIC. The RTC provides an alert function, which allows the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 to wake up whilst the internal voltage regulators are off. To prevent the engine from unintentionally logging into the GSM network, this procedure only enables restricted operation, referred to as Alarm mode. It must not be confused with a wake-up or alarm call that can be activated by using the same AT command, but without switching off power. Use the AT+CALA command to set the alarm time. The RTC retains the alarm time if the GSM/GPRS part of XT55 was powered down by AT^SMSO. Once the alarm is timed out and executed, XT55 enters the Alarm mode. This is indicated by an Unsolicited Result Code (URC) which reads: ^SYSSTART ALARM MODE Note that this URC is the only indication of the Alarm mode and will not appear when autobauding was activated (due to the missing synchronization between DTE and DCE upon start-up). Therefore, it is recommended to select a fixed baudrate before using the Alarm mode. In Alarm mode only a limited number of AT commands is available. For further instructions refer to the AT Command Set. Table 5: AT commands available in Alarm mode AT command Function AT+CALA Set alarm time AT+CCLK Set date and time of RTC AT^SBC In Alarm mode, you can only query the present current consumption and check whether or not a charger is connected. The battery capacity is returned as 0, regardless of the actual voltage (since the values measured directly on the cell are not delivered to the module). AT^SCTM Query temperature range, enable/disable URCs to report critical temperature rangesAT^SMSO Power down GSM engine For the GSM engine to change from the Alarm mode to full operation (normal operating mode) it is necessary to drive the ignition line to ground. This must be implemented in your host application as described in Chapter 3.3.1.1.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 33 of 116 15.03.2004 If the charger is connected to the GSM_POWER line when GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 is in ALARM mode charging will start, while XT55 stays in ALARM mode. See also Chapter 3.7 which summarizes the various options of changing the mode of operation. If your host application uses the GSM_SYNC pin to control a status LED as described in Chapter 3.12.2.2, please note that the LED is off while the GSM engine is in Alarm mode.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 34 of 116 15.03.2004 3.3.2 Turn off the GSM/GPRS part of XT55 To switch the module off the following procedures may be used: · Normal shutdown procedure: Software controlled by sending the AT^SMSO command over the serial application interface. See Chapter 3.3.2.1. · Emergency shutdown: Hardware driven by switching the GSM_EMERGOFF line of the board-to-board-connector to ground = immediate shutdown of supply voltages, only applicable if the software controlled procedure fails! See Chapter 3.3.2.3. · Automatic shutdown: See Chapter 3.3.3 a) Takes effect if undervoltage is detected. b) Takes effect if XT55 board temperature exceeds critical limit. 3.3.2.1 Turn off GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 module using AT command The best and safest approach to powering down the XT55 GSM/GPRS part is to issue the AT^SMSO command. This procedure lets GSM engine log off from the network and allows the software to enter into a secure state and safe data before disconnecting the power supply. The mode is referred to as POWER DOWN mode. In this mode, only the RTC stays active. Before switching off the device sends the following response: ^SMSO: MS OFF OK ^SHUTDOWN After sending AT^SMSO do not enter any other AT commands. There are two ways to verify when the module turns off: · Wait for the URC “^SHUTDOWN”. It indicates that data have been stored non-volatile and the module turns off in less than 1 second. · Also, you can monitor the GSM_VDD pin. The low state of GSM_VDD definitely indicates that the module is switched off. Be sure not to disconnect the operating voltage VGSM_BATT+ before the URC “^SHUTDOWN” has been issued and the GSM_VDD signal has gone low. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data. While the GSM engine is in POWER DOWN mode the application interface is switched off and must not be fed from any other source. Therefore, your application must be designed to avoid any current flow into any digital pins of the application interface. Note: In POWER DOWN mode, the GSM_EMERGOFF pin, the output pins of the ASC0 interface GSM_RXD0, GSM_CTS0, GSM_DCD0, GSM_DSR0, GSM_RING0 and the output pins of the ASC1 interface GSM_RXD1 and GSM_CTS1 are switched to high impedance state. If this causes the associated input pins of your application to float, you are advised to integrate an additional resistor (100 k" – 1 M") at each line. In the case of the GSM_EMERGOFF pin use a pull-down resistor tied to GND. In the case of the serial interface pins you can either connect pull-up resistors to the GSM_VDD line, or pull-down resistors to GND.

The guaranteed maximum number of write cycles is limited to 100.000. 3.3.2.3 Emergency shutdown using GSM_EMERGOFF pin Caution: Use the GSM_EMERGOFF pin only when, due to serious problems, the software is not responding for more than 5 seconds. Pulling the GSM_EMERGOFF pin causes the loss of all information stored in the volatile memory since power is cut off immediately. Therefore, this procedure is intended only for use in case of emergency, e.g. if XT55 fails to shut down properly. The GSM_EMERGOFF signal is available on the board-to-board connector. To control the GSM_EMERGOFF line it is recommended to use an open drain / collector driver. To turn the GSM engine off, the GSM_EMERGOFF line has to be driven to ground for ³ 3.2s.

During operation of XT55the baseband controller generates watchdog pulses at regular intervals. Once the GSM_EMERGOFF pin is grounded these watchdog pulses are cut off from the power supply ASIC. The power supply ASIC shuts down the internal supply voltages of XT55 after max. 3.2s and the module turns off. Consequently, the output voltage at GSM_VDD is switched off. Controlled by XT55 software
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 36 of 116 15.03.2004 3.3.3 Automatic shutdown Automatic shutdown takes effect if · the XT55 board is exceeding the critical limits of overtemperature or undertemperature · the battery is exceeding the critical limits of overtemperature or undertemperature · undervoltage is detected The automatic shutdown procedure is equivalent to the power-down initiated with the AT^SMSO command, i.e. XT55 logs off from the network and the software enters a secure state avoiding loss of data. NOTE: This does not apply if overvoltage conditions or unrecoverable hardware or software errors occur (see below for details). Alert messages transmitted before the device switches off are implemented as Unsolicited Result Codes (URCs). The presentation of these URCs can be enabled or disabled with the two AT commands AT^SBC and AT^SCTM. The URC presentation mode varies with the condition, please see Chapters 3.3.3.1 to 3.3.3.4 for details. For further instructions on AT commands refer to [1]. 3.3.3.1 Temperature dependent shutdown The board temperature is constantly monitored by an internal NTC resistor located on the PCB. The NTC that detects the battery temperature must be part of the battery pack circuit as described in Chapter 3.5. The values detected by either NTC resistor are measured directly on the board or the battery and therefore, are not fully identical with the ambient temperature. Each time the board or battery temperature goes out of range or back to normal, XT55 instantly displays an alert (if enabled). · URCs indicating the level "1" or "-1" allow the user to take appropriate precautions, such as protecting the module from exposure to extreme conditions. The presentation of the URCs depends on the settings selected with the AT^SCTM write command: AT^SCTM=1: Presentation of URCs is always enabled. AT^SCTM=0 (default): Presentation of URCs is enabled for 15 seconds time after start-up of XT55. After 15 seconds operation, the presentation will be disabled, i.e. no alert messages can be generated. · URCs indicating the level "2" or "-2" are instantly followed by an orderly shutdown. The presentation of these URCs is always enabled, i.e. they will be output even though the factory setting AT^SCTM=0 was never changed. The maximum temperature ratings are stated in Table 26. Refer to Table 6 for the associated URCs. All statements are based on test conditions according to IEC 60068-2-2 (still air).

XT55 switches off. ^SCTM_B: 2 Alert: Tamb of board equal or beyond over temperature limit. XT55 switches off. ^SCTM_A: -2 Alert: Tamb of battery equal or below under temperature limit. XT55 switches off. ^SCTM_B: -2 Alert: Tamb of board equal or below under temperature limit. XT55 switches off. 3.3.3.2 Temperature control during emergency call If the temperature limit is exceeded while an emergency call is in progress the engine continues to measure the temperature, but deactivates the shutdown functionality. If the temperature is still out of range when the call ends, the module switches off immediately (without another alert message). 3.3.3.3 Undervoltage shutdown if battery NTC is present In applications where the module’s charging technique is used and an NTC is connected to the GSM_BATT_TEMP terminal, the software constantly monitors the applied voltage. If the measured battery voltage is no more sufficient to set up a call the following URC will be presented: ^SBC: Undervoltage. The message will be reported, for example, when you attempt to make a call while the voltage is close to the critical limit and further power loss is caused during the transmit burst. To remind you that the battery needs to be charged soon, the URC appears several times before the module switches off. To enable or disable the URC use the AT^SBC command. The URC will be enabled when you enter the write command and specify the power consumption of your GSM application. Step by step instructions are provided in [1].
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 38 of 116 15.03.2004 3.3.3.4 Undervoltage shutdown if no battery NTC is present The undervoltage protection is also effective in applications, where no NTC connects to the GSM_BATT_TEMP terminal. Thus, you can take advantage of this feature even though the application handles the charging process or XT55 is fed by a fixed supply voltage. All you need to do is executing the write command AT^SBC=<current> which automatically enables the presentation of URCs. You do not need to specify <current>. Whenever the supply voltage falls below the specified value (see Table 28) the URC ^SBC: Undervoltage appears several times before the module switches off. 3.3.3.5 Overvoltage shutdown For overvoltage conditions, no software controlled shutdown is implemented. If the supply voltage exceeds the maximum value specified in Table 28, loss of data and even unrecoverable hardware damage can occur. Keep in mind that several XT55 components are directly linked to GSM_BATT+ and, therefore, the supply voltage remains applied at major parts of XT55. Especially the power amplifier is very sensitive to high voltage and might even be destroyed.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 39 of 116 15.03.2004 3.4 Automatic GPRS Multislot Class change Temperature control is also effective for operation in GPRS Multislot Class 10. If the board temperature increases to the limit specified for restricted operation1) while data are transmitted over GPRS, the module automatically reverts from GPRS Multislot Class 10 (2 Tx) to Class 8 (1Tx). This reduces the power consumption and, consequently, causes the board’s temperature to decrease. Once the temperature drops to a value of 5 degrees below the limit of restricted operation, XT55 returns to the higher Multislot Class. If the temperature stays at the critical level or even continues to rise, XT55 will not switch back to the higher class. After a transition from Multislot Class 10 to Multislot 8 a possible switchback to Multislot Class 10 is blocked for one minute. Please note that there is not one single cause of switching over to a lower GPRS Multislot Class. Rather it is the result of an interaction of several factors, such as the board temperature that depends largely on the ambient temperature, the operating mode and the transmit power. Furthermore, take into account that there is a delay until the network proceeds to a lower or, accordingly, higher Multislot Class. The delay time is network dependent. In extreme cases, if it takes too much time for the network and the temperature cannot drop due to this delay, the module may even switch off as described in chapter 3.3.3.1. 1) See Table 26 for temperature limits known as restricted operation.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 40 of 116 15.03.2004 3.5 GSM charging control The GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 module integrates a charging management for Li-Ion batteries. You can skip this chapter if charging is not your concern, or if you are not using the implemented charging algorithm. XT55 has no on-board charging circuit. To benefit from the implemented charging management you are required to install a charging circuit within your application. In this case, XT55 needs to be powered from a Li-Ion battery pack, e.g. as specified in Table 8. Note: The charging control described in this chapter is optimized for the GSM/GPRS part of XT55 only and does not cover the GPS part. To include the GPS part you need to change components illustrated in Figure 9, especially those of the trickle charging path (470R, 4V3, 1SS355). The module only delivers, via its GSM_POWER line and GSM_CHARGE line, the control signals needed to start and stop the charging process. The charging circuit should include a transistor and should be designed as illustrated in Figure 9.

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 42 of 116 15.03.2004 3.5.1 Battery pack characteristics The charging algorithm has been optimized for a Li-Ion battery pack that meets the characteristics listed below. It is recommended that the battery pack you want to integrate into your XT55 application is compliant with these specifications. This ensures reliable operation, proper charging and, particularly, allows you to monitor the battery capacity using the AT^SBC command (see [1] for details). Failure to comply with these specifications might cause AT^SBC to deliver incorrect battery capacity values. A battery pack especially designed to operate with XT55 modules is specified in Chapter 3.5.2. · Li-Ion battery pack specified for a maximum charging voltage of 4.2 V and a capacity of 800 mAh. Battery packs with a capacity down to 600 mAh or more than 800 mAh are allowed, too. · Since charging and discharging largely depend on the battery temperature, the battery pack should include an NTC resistor. If the NTC is not inside the battery it must be in thermal contact with the battery. The NTC resistor must be connected between GSM_BATT_TEMP and GND. Required NTC characteristics are: 10 kΩ +5% @ 25°C, B25/85 = 3435K +3% (alternatively acceptable: 10 kΩ +2% @ 25°C, B25/50 = 3370K +3%). Please note that the NTC is indispensable for proper charging, i.e. the charging process will not start if no NTC is present. · Ensure that the pack incorporates a protection circuit capable of detecting overvoltage (protection against overcharging), undervoltage (protection against deep discharging) and overcurrent. The circuit must be insensitive to pulsed current. · On the XT55 module, a built-in measuring circuit constantly monitors the supply voltage. In the event of undervoltage, it causes XT55 to power down. Undervoltage thresholds are specific to the battery pack and must be evaluated for the intended model. When you evaluate undervoltage thresholds, consider both the current consumption of XT55 and of the application circuit. · The internal resistance of the battery and the protection should be as low as possible. It is recommended not to exceed 150m", even in extreme conditions at low temperature. The battery cell must be insensitive to rupture, fire and gassing under extreme conditions of temperature and charging (voltage, current). · The battery pack must be protected from reverse pole connection. For example, the casing should be designed to prevent the user from mounting the battery in reverse orientation. · The battery pack must be approved to satisfy the requirements of CE conformity. Figure 10 shows the circuit diagram of a typical battery pack design that includes the protection elements described above.

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 44 of 116 15.03.2004 3.5.3 Implemented charging technique If the external charging circuit follows the recommendation of Figure 9, the charging process consists of trickle charging and processor controlled fast charging. For this solution, the fast charging current provided by the charger or any other external source must be limited to 500mA. Trickle charging · Trickle charging starts when the charger is connected to the charger input of the external charging circuit and the module’s GSM_POWER pin. The charging current depends on the voltage difference between the charger input of the external charging circuit and GSM_BATT+ of the module. · Trickle charging stops when the battery voltage reaches 3.6V. Fast charging · After trickle charging has raised the battery voltage to 3.2V within 60 minutes +10% from connecting the charger, the power ASIC turns on and wakes up the baseband processor. Now, processor controlled fast charging begins. If the battery voltage was already above 3.2V, processor controlled fast charging starts just after the charger was connected to the charger input of the external charging circuit and the module’s GSM_POWER pin. If the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 was in POWER DOWN mode, it turns on and enters the Charge-only mode along with fast charging (see also Chapter 3.3.1.3). · Fast charging delivers a constant current until the battery voltage reaches 4.2V and then proceeds with varying charge pulses. As shown in Figure 5, the pulse duty cycle is reduced to adjust the charging procedure and prevent the voltage from overshooting beyond 4.2V. Once the pulse width reaches the minimum of 100ms and the duty cycle does not change for 2 minutes, fast charging is completed. · Fast charging can only be accomplished in a temperature range from 0°C to +45°C. 4.34.23.8Voltage3.43.0Constant current tOFF = 100 ms tON = 100 ms Time100ms 2 ... 0.1s 100ms 0.1 ... 2s Figure 11: Charging process
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 45 of 116 15.03.2004 Note: Do not connect the charger to the GSM_BATT+ lines. Only the charger input of the external charging circuit is intended as input for charging current! The GSM_POWER pin of XT55 is the input only for indicating a connected charger! The battery manufacturer must guarantee that the battery complies with the described charging technique. What to do if software controlled charging does not start up? If trickle charging fails to raise the battery voltage to 3.2V within 60 minutes +10%, processor controlled charging does not begin. To start fast charging you can do one of the following: · Once the voltage has risen above its minimum of 3V, you can try to start software controlled charging by pulling the GSM_IGT line to ground. · If the voltage is still below 3V, driving the GSM_IGT line to ground switches the timer off. Without the timer running, the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 module will not proceed to software controlled charging. To restart the timer you are required to shortly disconnect and reconnect the charger. 3.5.4 Operating modes during charging Of course, the battery can be charged regardless of the engine's operating mode. When the GSM engine is in Normal mode (SLEEP, IDLE, TALK, GPRS IDLE or GPRS DATA mode), it remains operational while charging is in progress (provided that sufficient voltage is applied). The charging process during the Normal mode is referred to as Charge mode. If the charger is connected to the charger input of the external charging circuit and the module’s GSM_POWER pin while GSM/GPRS part of XT55 is in POWER DOWN mode, the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 goes into Charge-only mode. Table 9: Comparison Charge-only and Charge mode How to activate mode Features Charge mode Connect charger to charger input of external charging circuit and module’s GSM_POWER pin while the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 is · operating, e.g. in IDLE or TALK mode · in SLEEP mode · Battery can be charged while GSM engine remains operational and registered to the GSM network. · In IDLE and TALK mode, the serial interfaces are accessible. AT command set can be used to full extent. · In the NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode, the serial interfaces are not accessible at all. During the CYCLIC SLEEP mode they can be used as described in Chapter 3.6.3. Charge-only mode Connect charger to charger input of external charging circuit and module’s GSM_POWER pin while the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 is · in POWER DOWN mode · in Normal mode: Connect charger to the GSM_POWER pin, then enter AT^SMSO. IMPORTANT: While trickle charging is in progress, be sure that the application is switched off. If the application is fed from the trickle charge current the module might be prevented from proceeding to software controlled charging since the current would not be sufficient. · Battery can be charged while GSM engine is deregistered from GSM network. · Charging runs smoothly due to constant current consumption. · The AT interface is accessible and allows to use the commands listed below.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 46 of 116 15.03.2004 Features of Charge-only mode Once the GSM engine enters the Charge-only mode, the AT command interface presents an Unsolicited Result Code (URC) which reads: ^SYSSTART CHARGE-ONLY MODE Note that this URC will not appear when autobauding was activated (due to the missing synchronization between DTE and DCE upon start-up). Therefore, it is recommended to select a fixed baudrate before using the Charge-only mode. While the Charge-only mode is in progress, you can only use the AT commands listed in Table 10. For further instructions refer to the AT Command Set supplied with your GSM engine. Table 10: AT commands available in Charge-only mode AT command Function AT+CALA Set alarm time AT+CCLK Set date and time of RTC AT^SBC Monitor charging process Note: While charging is in progress, no battery capacity value is available. To query the battery capacity disconnect the charger. If the charger connects externally to the host device no charging parameters are transferred to the module. In this case, the command cannot be used. AT^SCTM Query temperature range, enable/disable URCs to report critical temperature rangesAT^SMSO Power down GSM engine To proceed from Charge-only mode to normal operation, it is necessary to drive the ignition line to ground. This must be implemented in your host application as described in Chapter 3.3.1.1. See also Chapter 3.7 which summarizes the various options of changing the mode of operation. If your host application uses the GSM_SYNC pin to control a status LED as described in Chapter 3.12.2.2, please note that the LED is off while the GSM engine is in Charge-only mode. 3.5.5 Charger requirements If you are using the implemented charging technique and the charging circuit recommended in Figure 9, the charger must be designed to meet the following requirements: a) Simple transformer power plug - Output voltage: 5.5V...8V (under load) - The charge current must be limited to 500mA - Voltage spikes that may occur while you connect or disconnect the charger must be limited. - There must not be any capacitor on the secondary side of the power plug (avoidance of current spikes at the beginning of charging) b) Supplementary requirements for a) to ensure a regulated power supply - When current is switched off a voltage peak of 10V is allowed for a maximum 1ms - When current is switched on a spike of 1.6A for 1ms is allowed
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 47 of 116 15.03.2004 3.6 Power saving SLEEP mode reduces the functionality of the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 module to a minimum and, thus, minimizes the current consumption to the lowest level. Settings can be made using the AT+CFUN command. For details see below and [1]. SLEEP mode falls into two categories: · NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode AT+CFUN=0 · CYCLIC SLEEP modes, selectable with AT+CFUN=5, 6, 7, 8 or 9. IMPORTANT: Please keep in mind that power saving works properly only when PIN authentication has been done. If you attempt to activate power saving while the SIM card is not inserted or the PIN not correctly entered, the selected <fun> level will be set, though power saving does not take effect. For the same reason, power saving cannot be used if the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 operates in Alarm mode. To check whether power saving is on, you can query the status of AT+CFUN if you have chosen CYCLIC SLEEP mode. If available, you can take advantage of the status LED controlled by the GSM_SYNC pin (see Chapter 3.12.2.2). The LED stops flashing once the module starts power saving. The wake-up procedures are quite different depending on the selected SLEEP mode. Table 11 compares the wake-up events that can occur in NON-CYCLIC and CYCLIC SLEEP modes. 3.6.1 No power saving (AT+CFUN=1) The functionality level <fun>=1 is where power saving is switched off. This is the default after startup. 3.6.2 NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode (AT+CFUN=0) If level 0 has been selected (AT+CFUN=0), the serial interface is blocked. The module shortly deactivates power saving to listen to a paging message sent from the base station and then immediately resumes power saving. Level 0 is called NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode, since the serial interface is not alternatingly made accessible as in CYCLIC SLEEP mode. The first wake-up event fully activates the module, enables the serial interface and terminates the power saving mode. In short, it takes the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 back to the highest level of functionality <fun>=1. GSM_RTS0 or GSM_RTS1 are not used for flow control, but to wake up the module. 3.6.3 CYCLIC SLEEP mode (AT+CFUN=5, 6, 7, 8) The major benefit over the NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode is that the serial interface is not permanently blocked and that packet switched calls may go on without terminating the selected CYCLIC SLEEP mode. This allows the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 to become active, for example to perform a GPRS data transfer, and to resume power saving after the GPRS data transfer is completed.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 48 of 116 15.03.2004 The CYCLIC SLEEP modes give you greater flexibility regarding the wake-up procedures: For example, in all CYCLIC SLEEP modes, you can enter AT+CFUN=1 to permanently wake up the module. In modes CFUN=7 and 8, the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 automatically resumes power saving, after you have sent or received a short message or made a call. CFUN=5 and 6 do not offer this feature, and therefore, are only supported for compatibility with earlier releases. Please refer to Table 11 for a summary of all modes. The CYCLIC SLEEP mode is a dynamic process which alternatingly enables and disables the serial interface. By setting/resetting the GSM_CTS signal, the module indicates to the application whether or not the UART is active. The timing of GSM_CTS is described below. Both the application and the module must be configured to use hardware flow control (RTS/CTS handshake). The default setting of the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 is AT\Q0 (no flow control) which must be altered to AT\Q3. See [1] for details. Note: If both serial interfaces ASC0 and ASC1 are connected, both are synchronized. This means that SLEEP mode takes effect on both, no matter on which interface the AT command was issued. Although not explicitly stated, all explanations given in this chapter refer equally to ASC0 and ASC1, and accordingly to GSM_CTS0 and GSM_CTS1. 3.6.4 CYCLIC SLEEP mode AT+CFUN=9 Mode AT+CFUN=9 is similar to AT+CFUN=7 or 8, but provides two additional features: · GSM_RTS0 and GSM_RTS1 are not intended for flow control (as in modes AT+CFUN=5, 6, 7 or 8), but can be used to temporarily wake up the module. This way, the module can quickly wake up and resume power saving, regardless of the GSM_CTS timing controlled by the paging cycle. · The time the module stays active after GSM_RTS was asserted or after the last character was sent or received, can be configured individually using the command AT^SCFG. Default setting is 2 seconds like in AT+CFUN=7. The entire range is from 0.5 seconds to 1 hour, selectable in tenths of seconds. For details see [1]. 3.6.5 Timing of the GSM_CTS signal in CYCLIC SLEEP modes The GSM_CTS signal is enabled in synchrony with the module’s paging cycle. It goes active low each time when the module starts listening to a paging message block from the base station. The timing of the paging cycle varies with the base station. The duration of a paging interval can be calculated from the following formula: 4.615 ms (TDMA frame duration) * 51 (number of frames) * DRX value. DRX (Discontinuous Reception) is a value from 2 to 9, resulting in paging intervals from 0.47 to 2.12 seconds. The DRX value of the base station is assigned by the network operator. Each listening period causes the GSM_CTS signal to go active low: If DRX is 2, the GSM_CTS signal is activated every 0.47 seconds, if DRX is 3, the GSM_CTS signal is activated every 0.71 seconds and if DRX is 9, the GSM_CTS signal is activated every 2.1 seconds. The GSM_CTS signal is active low for 4.6 ms. This is followed by another 4.6 ms UART activity. If the start bit of a received character is detected within these 9.2 ms, GSM_CTS will be activated and the proper reception of the character will be guaranteed.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 49 of 116 15.03.2004 GSM_CTS will also be activated if any character is to be sent. After the last character was sent or received the interface will remain active for · another 2 seconds, if AT+CFUN=5 or 7, · another 10 minutes, if AT+CFUN=6 or 8, · or for an individual time defined with AT^SCFG, if AT+CFUN=9. Assertion of GSM_RTS has the same effect. In the pauses between listening to paging messages, while GSM_CTS is high, the module resumes power saving and the AT interface is not accessible.

Depending on the selected mode the wake-up event either switches SLEEP mode off and takes XT55 back to AT+CFUN=1, or activates XT55 temporarily without leaving the current SLEEP mode. Definitions of the state transitions described in Table 11: Quit = XT55 exits SLEEP mode and returns to AT+CFUN=1. Temporary = XT55 becomes active temporarily for the duration of the event and the mode-specific follow-up time after the last character was sent or received on the serial interface. No effect: = Event is not relevant in the selected SLEEP mode. XT55 does not wake up.

If the module is in CFUN=0 mode the assertion of GSM_RTS0 and GSM_RTS1 serves as a wake-up event, giving the application the possibility to intentionally terminate power saving. If the module is in CFUN=9 mode, the assertion of GSM_RTS0 or

An alarm function is provided that allows to wake up XT55 without logging on to the GSM network. In addition, you can use the GSM_VDDLP pin on the board-to-board connector to backup the RTC from an external capacitor or a battery (rechargeable or non-chargeable). The capacitor is charged by the GSM_BATT+ line of XT55. If the voltage supply at GSM_BATT+ is disconnected the RTC can be powered by the capacitor. The size of the capacitor determines the duration of buffering when no voltage is applied to the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55, i.e. the greater capacitor the longer the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 will save the date and time. The following figures show various sample configurations. The voltage applied at GSM_VDDLP can be in the range from 2 to 5.5V. Please refer to Table 27 for the parameters required.

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 54 of 116 15.03.2004 3.9 Serial interfaces of the XT55 GSM/GPRS part The GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 module offers two unbalanced, asynchronous serial interfaces conforming to ITU-T V.24 protocol DCE signaling. The electrical characteristics do not comply with ITU-T V.28. The significant levels are 0V (for low data bit or ON condition) and 2.65V (for high data bit or OFF condition). For electrical characteristics please refer to Table 38. Figure 1 shows the serial interfaces of the XT55 module. The GSM engine is designed for use as a DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE connections it communicates with the customer application (DTE) using the following signals: ASC0 · Port TXD @ application sends data to the module’s GSM_TXD0 signal line · Port RXD @ application receives data from the module’s GSM_RXD0 signal line ASC1 · Port TXD @ application sends data to module’s GSM_TXD1 signal line · Port RXD @ application receives data from the module’s GSM_RXD1 signal line 3.9.1 Features supported on the first serial interface of GSM/GPRS part (ASC0) · 8-wire serial interface · Includes the data lines GSM_TXD0 and GSM_RXD0, the status lines GSM_RTS0 and GSM_CTS0 and, in addition, the modem control lines GSM_DTR0, GSM_DSR0, GSM_DCD0 and GSM_RING0. · It is primarily designed for voice calls, CSD calls, fax calls and GPRS services and for controlling the GSM engine with AT commands. Full Multiplex capability allows the interface to be partitioned into three virtual channels, yet with CSD and fax services only available on the first logical channel. Please note that when the ASC0 interface runs in Multiplex mode, ASC1 cannot be used. For more detailed characteristics see [12]. · The GSM_DTR0 signal will only be polled once per second from the internal firmware of XT55. · The GSM_RING0 signal serves to indicate incoming calls and other types of URCs (Unsolicited Result Code). It can also be used to send pulses to the host application, for example to wake up the application from power saving state. For further details see Chapter 3.12.2.3. · Autobauding is only selectable on ASC0 and supports the following bit rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400 bps. · Autobauding is not compatible with multiplex mode, see [12]. · ASC0 interface is intended for firmware upgrade of the GSM/GPRS part
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 55 of 116 15.03.2004 3.9.2 Features supported on the second serial interface of GSM/GPRS part (ASC1) · 4-wire serial interface · Includes only the data lines GSM_TXD1 and GSM_RXD1 plus GSM_RTS1 and GSM_CTS1 for hardware handshake. This interface is intended for voice calls, GPRS services and for controlling the GSM engine with AT commands. It is not suited for CSD calls, fax calls and Multiplex mode. · On ASC1 no GSM_RING line is available. The indication of URCs on the second interface depends on the settings made with the AT^SCFG command. For details refer to [1]. 3.9.3 ASC0 and ASC1 configuration · Both interfaces are configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit, and can be operated at bit rates from 300bps to 230400 bps. · XON/XOFF software flow control can be used on both interfaces (except if power saving is active).

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 56 of 116 15.03.2004 3.10 Audio interfaces XT55 comprises three audio interfaces available on the board-to-board connector: · Two analog audio interfaces, each with a balanced analog microphone input and a balanced analog earpiece output. The second analog interface provides a supply circuit to feed an active microphone. · Serial digital audio interface (DAI) using PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) to encode analog voice signals into digital bit streams. This means you can connect up to three audio devices in any combination, although analog and digital audio cannot be operated at the same time. Using the AT^SAIC command you can easily switch back and forth.

The electrical characteristics of the voiceband part vary with the audio mode. For example, sending and receiving amplification, sidetone paths, noise suppression etc. depend on the selected mode and can be altered with AT commands (except for mode 1). On each audio interface you can use all audio AT commands specified in [1] to alter parameters. The only exception are the DAC and ADC gain amplifier attenuation <outBbcGain> and <inBbcGain> which cannot be modified when the digital audio interface is used, since in this case the DAC and ADC are switched off. Please refer to Chapter 3.10 for specifications of the audio interface and an overview of the audio parameters. Detailed instructions on using AT commands are presented in [1]. Table 31 on page 101 summarizes the characteristics of the various audio modes and shows what parameters are supported in each mode.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 57 of 116 15.03.2004 When shipped from factory, all audio parameters of XT55 are set to interface 1 and audio mode 1. This is the default configuration optimized for the Votronic HH-SI-30.3/V1.1/0 handset and used for type approving the Siemens reference configuration. Audio mode 1 has fix parameters which cannot be modified. To adjust the settings of the Votronic handset simply change to another audio mode. In transmit direction, all audio modes contain internal scaling factors (digital amplification) that are not accessible by the user. To avoid saturation with a full scale digital input signal on the DAI, and to obtain a one-to-one digital access to the speech coder in audio mode 5 and 6, it is recommended to set the parameter <inCalibrate> of the selected audio mode as follows: Audio mode 1 and 4: 23196 Audio mode 2: 17396 Audio mode 3: 21901 Audio mode 5 and 6: 21402 3.10.1 Microphone circuit Interface 1 This interface has no microphone supply circuit and therefore, has an impedance of 50kW. When connecting a microphone or another signal source to interface 1 you are required to add two 100 nF capacitors, one to each line. Interface 2 This interface comes with a microphone supply circuit and can be used to feed an active microphone. It has an impedance of 2kW. If you do not use it or if you want to connect another type of signal source, for example, an op amp or a dynamic microphone, it needs to be decoupled with capacitors. The power supply can be switched off and on by using the command AT^SNFM. For details see [1].

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 58 of 116 15.03.2004 3.10.2 Speech processing The speech samples from the ADC or DAI are handled by the DSP of the baseband controller to calculate e.g. amplifications, sidetone, echo cancellation or noise suppression depending on the configuration of the active audio mode. These processed samples are passed to the speech encoder. Received samples from the speech decoder are passed to the DAC or DAI after post processing (frequency response correction, adding sidetone etc.). Full rate, half rate, enhanced full rate, adaptive multi rate (AMR), speech and channel encoding including voice activity detection (VAD) and discontinuous transmission (DTX) and digital GMSK modulation are also performed on the GSM baseband processor. Customer specific audio parameters can be evaluated and supplied by Siemens on request. These parameters can be downloaded to XT55 using an AT command. For further information refer to [10] or contact your Siemens distributor. 3.10.3 DAI timing To support the DAI function, XT55 integrates a simple five-line serial interface with one input data clock line (GSM_SCLK) and input / output data and frame lines (GSM_TXDDAI, GSM_TFSDAI, GSM_RXDDAI, GSM_RFSDAI). The serial interface is always active if the external input data clock GSM_SLCK is present, i.e. the serial interface is not clocked by the DSP of the XT55 baseband processor. GSM_SLCK must be supplied from the application and can be in a frequency range between 0.2 and 10 MHz. Serial transfer of 16-bit words is done in both directions. Data transfer to the application is initiated by the module via a short pulse of GSM_TFSDAI. The duration of the GSM_TFSDAI pulse is one GSM_SCLK period, starting at the rising edge of SLCK. During the following 16 SLCK cycles, the 16-bit sample will be transferred on the GSM_TXDDAI line. The next outgoing sample will be transferred after the next GSM_TFSDAI pulse which occurs every 125 µs. The GSM_TFSDAI pulse is the master clock of the sample transfer. From the rising edge of the GSM_TFSDAI pulse, the application has 100 µs to transfer the 16-bit input sample on the GSM_RXDDAI line. The rising edge of the GSM_RFSDAI pulse (supplied by the application) may coincide with the falling edge of GSM_TFSDAI or occur slightly later - it is only significant that, in any case, the transfer of the LSB input sample will be completed within the specified duration of 100 µs. Audio samples are transferred from the module to the application in an average of 125µs. This is determined by the 8kHz sampling rate, which is derived from and synchronized to the GSM network. As SLCK is independent of the GSM network, the distance between two succeeding sample transfers may vary about + 1 SLCK period. The application is required to adapt its sampling rate to the GSM_TFSDAI rate. Failure to synchronize the timing between the module and the application may cause audible pops and clicks in a conversation. The timing characteristics of both data transfer directions are shown in Figure 19 and Figure 20.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 59 of 116 15.03.2004 Note: Before starting the data transfer the clock GSM_SCLK should be available for at least three cycles.

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 60 of 116 15.03.2004 3.11 SIM interface The baseband processor has an integrated SIM interface compatible with the ISO 7816 IC Card standard. This is wired to the host interface (board-to-board connector) in order to be connected to an external SIM card holder. Six pins on the board-to-board connector are reserved for the SIM interface. The GSM_CCIN pin serves to detect whether a tray (with SIM card) is present in the card holder. Using the GSM_CCIN pin 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. See Chapter 3.11.1 for details. It is recommended that the total cable length between the board-to-board connector pins on XT55 and the pins of the SIM card holder does not exceed 200 mm in order to meet the specifications of 3GPP TS 51.010-1 and to satisfy the requirements of EMC compliance. Table 15: Signals of the SIM interface (board-to-board connector) Signal Description GSM_CCGND Separate ground connection for SIM card to improve EMC. GSM_CCCLK Chipcard clock, various clock rates can be set in the baseband processor. GSM_CCVCC SIM supply voltage from PSU-ASIC GSM_CCIO Serial data line, input and output. GSM_CCRST Chipcard reset, provided by baseband processor. GSM_CCIN Input on the baseband processor for detecting a SIM card tray in the holder. The GSM_CCIN pin is mandatory for applications that allow the user to remove the SIM card during operation. The GSM_CCIN pin 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 XT55.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 61 of 116 15.03.2004 3.11.1 Requirements for using the GSM_CCIN pin According to ISO/IEC 7816-3 the SIM interface must be immediately shut down once the SIM card is removed during operation. Therefore, the signal at the GSM_CCIN pin must go low before the SIM card contacts are mechanically detached from the SIM interface contacts. This shut-down procedure is particularly required to protect the SIM card as well as the SIM interface of XT55 from damage. 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 XT55 and is part of the Siemens reference equipment submitted for type approval. Molex ordering number is 91228-0001, see also Chapter 9. The module’s startup procedure involves a SIM card initialization performed within 1 second after getting started. An important issue is whether the initialization procedure ends up with a high or low level of the GSM_CCIN signal: a) If, during startup of XT55, the GSM_CCIN signal on the SIM interface is high, then the status of the SIM card holder can be recognized each time the card is inserted or ejected. A low level of GSM_CCIN indicates that no SIM card tray is inserted into the holder. In this case, the module keeps searching, at regular intervals, for the SIM card. Once the SIM card tray with a SIM card is inserted, GSM_CCIN is taken high again. b) If, during startup of XT55, the GSM_CCIN signal is low, the module will also attempt to initialize the SIM card. In this case, the initialization will only be successful when the card is present. If the SIM card initialization has been done, but the card is no more operational or removed, then the module will never search again for a SIM card and only emergency calls can be made. Removing and inserting the SIM card during operation requires the software to be reinitialized. Therefore, after reinserting the SIM card it is necessary to restart XT55. It is strongly recommended to connect the contacts of the SIM card detect switch to the GSM_CCIN input and to the GSM_CCVCC output of the module as illustrated in the sample diagram in Figure 21. 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 initializing any SIM card that the user inserts after having removed a SIM card during operation. In this case, the application must restart XT55.

The signal is generated by the GSM_SYNC pin. Please note that this pin can adopt two different operating modes which you can select by using the AT^SSYNC command (mode 0 and 1). For details refer to the following chapter and to [1]. To generate the synchronization signal the pin needs to be configured to mode 0 (= default). This setting is recommended if you want your application to use the synchronization signal for better power supply control. Your platform design must be such that the incoming signal accommodates sufficient power supply to the XT55 module if required. This can be achieved by lowering the current drawn from other components installed in your application. The timing of the synchronization signal is shown below. High level of the GSM_SYNC pin indicates increased power consumption during transmission.

To avail of this feature you need to set the GSM_SYNC pin to mode 1 by using the AT^SSYNC command. For details see [1]. When controlled from the GSM_SYNC pin the LED can display the functions listed in Table 18. Table 18: Coding of the status LED LED mode Operating status Off XT55 is off or run in SLEEP, Alarm or Charge-only mode 600 ms On / 600ms Off No SIM card inserted or no PIN entered, or network search in progress, or ongoing user authentication, or network login in progress. 75 ms On / 3 s Off Logged to network (monitoring control channels and user interactions). No call in progress. 75 ms on / 75 ms Off / 75 ms On / 3 s Off One or more GPRS contexts activated. Flashing Indicates GPRS data transfer: When a GPRS transfer is in progress, the LED goes on within 1 second after data packets were exchanged. Flash duration is approximately 0.5 s. On Depending on type of call: Voice call: Connected to remote party. Data call: Connected to remote party or exchange of parameters while setting up or disconnecting a call. LED Off = GSM_SYNC pin low. LED On = GSM_SYNC pin high (if LED is connected as illustrated in Figure 24) To operate the LED a buffer, e.g. a transistor or gate, must be included in your application. A sample configuration can be gathered from Figure 24. Power consumption in the LED mode is the same as for the synchronization signal mode. For details see Table 27, GSM_SYNC pin.

The signal serves to indicate incoming calls and other types of URCs (Unsolicited Result Code). Although not mandatory for use in a host application, it is strongly suggested that you connect the GSM_RING0 line to an interrupt line of your application. In this case, the application can be designed to receive an interrupt when a falling edge on GSM_RING0 occurs. This solution is most effective, particularly, for waking up an application from power saving. Note that if the GSM_RING0 line is not wired, the application would be required to permanently poll the data and status lines of the serial interface at the expense of a higher current consumption. Therefore, utilizing the GSM_RING0 line provides an option to significantly reduce the overall current consumption of your application. The behavior of the GSM_RING0 line varies with the type of event: · When a voice call comes in the GSM_RING0 line goes low for 1s and high for another 4s. Every 5 seconds the ring string is generated and sent over the GSM_RXD0 line. If there is a call in progress and call waiting is activated for a connected handset or handsfree device, the GSM_RING0 line switches to ground in order to generate acoustic signals that indicate the waiting call. Figure 25: Incoming voice call · Likewise, when a Fax or data call is received, GSM_RING0 goes low. However, in contrast to voice calls, the line remains low.

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 68 of 116 15.03.2004 4 GPS application interface The XT55 module integrates a GPS receiver which offers the full performance of GPS technology. The GPS receiver continuously tracks all satellites in view, thus providing accurate satellite position data. The GPS block can be used even if the XT55 module is deregistered from the GSM network. 4.1 Theory of operation Figure 28: Theory of operation The XT55 GPS part is designed to use L1 Frequency (C/A Code) GPS receiver and performs the entire GPS signal processing, from antenna input to serial position data output. The processing steps involved are: · RF Section In the RF Section the GPS signal detected by the antenna is amplified, filtered and converted to an intermediate frequency (IF). An A/D converter converts the analogue intermediate frequency into a digital IF signal. · GPS Channels The received digital IF signal bit stream is passed to the baseband section, where it is fed into the correlators. It is the function of the correlators to acquire and track the satellite signals. There are 12 channels used in parallel, with each correlator looking for a characteristic PRN code sequence in the bit stream. Once the correlator has a valid signal, Pseudo range, Carrier Phase and Orbit Information can be extracted from the GPS signal. · Navigation The on-board processor is running an algorithm that calculates the position, velocity and time. This calculation is called the navigation solution. Once the navigation solution is calculated, it can be transformed into the desired coordinate system, e.g. Latitude/ Longitude/ Altitude. · Interface The data of the navigation solution are available at the serial RS-232 interface.

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 70 of 116 15.03.2004 4.3 GPS operating modes Mode Function Normal operation The receiver is continuously running in normal Mode, as long as the operating voltage Vcc is supplied. Position fixes are generated at the maximum update rate. It is recommended to use an external backup battery to reduce the system start-up time. In case of power supply interruption and an external backup battery is connected, the receiver keeps the intern Real Time Clock running and holds the FLASH data (ephemeris and almanac data). This enables the receiver a Warm- and Hot-start. However, the cold- and warm start times of receiver do not differ significantly under good visibility conditions. Trickle Power mode Vcc is continuously supplied to the receiver in Trickle Power mode. By using a special configurable software, the user can force the receiver to acquire a position fix periodically. Between two fixes, the receiver will be in a low power mode. A backup battery is needed to be connected to the receiver for reduction the start-up times in case of Vcc interruption. The power-on scenario in Trickle Power mode on the XT55 GPS part differs from one in continuous mode. If the receiver fails to acquire satellites within a given period of time (approx. 150 sec), the receiver goes into an extended sleep phase. The duration of this sleep phase is approx. 30 sec. After that, the receiver wakes up, makes a reset and tries to acquire satellites. This procedure repeats itself until the GPS receiver can detect satellites. For further details refer to [2]. Push-to-fix mode In this mode the receiver will turn on every 30 minutes to perform a system update consisting of a GPS RTC calibration and satellite ephemeris data collection if required (i.e. a new satellite has become visible) as well as all software tasks to support SnapSart in the event of an NMI. Ephemeris collection time in general takes 18 to 30 seconds. If ephemeris data is not required the system will recalibrate and shut down. In either case, the amount of time the receiver remains off will be in proportion to how long it stayed on: Off period = On Period*(1-Duty Cycle) Duty Cycle The off period has a possible range between 10 and 7200 seconds. The default is 1800 seconds.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 71 of 116 15.03.2004 4.3.1 Trickle Power mode The default mode of XT55 GPS part is continuous mode, but the user can set the XT55 GPS part into the Trickle Power mode via input command message. The XT55 GPS part enters the trickle power mode corresponding to Figure 29 (800ms OFF Time and 200ms ON Time) as soon as valid GPS data are available. As a result the average power consumption is reduced by approximately 80 % (approximately 150mW). The settings for the trickle power mode can be modified by using the SiRFstar demo software. For example if the XT55 GPS part is configured to enter the OnTime mode each 10s for a duration of 200ms the average power consumption can be reduced up to approx. 95% (approx. 15mW, ca. 4,8mA at Vcc=3.3V). Figure 29: Example for current in Trickle Power mode For more details refer to [2].

This diagram shows that for position update intervals less than approximately 600 seconds (i.e. rates faster than one fix per 10 minutes), the Trickle Power mode at an update interval of 10 seconds offers a lower power solution. The user would then be required to filter the output position data to use only the data points corresponding to the desired update interval. For example, if the desired position output is at 60 second intervals, then the user would only need one out of every six position outputs at a 10 second Trickle Power update interval. Alternatively, the user could perform smoothing or averaging of the position data and provide an output at the desired rate. Figure 30: Current comparison between Trickle Power and Push-to Fix mode
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 73 of 116 15.03.2004 4.4 Power supply of the XT55 GPS part The power supply for the GPS part of the XT55 module has to be a single voltage source of VCC=3.3V ± 5%. It must be able to provide sufficient current of 250 mA. GPS_VCC: Two GPS_VCC pins of the board-to-board connector are dedicated to connect the power supply voltage, five GND pins shared with the GSM/GPRS part of the XT55 module are recommended for grounding; see Figure 42 for details. GPS_V_ANT: This pin is reserved for an external DC power supply for active antenna. The antenna bias for an external active antenna can be provided in two way to pin GPS_V_ANT. The GPS_V_ANT input voltage should be chosen according to the antenna to be used. In order to use a 5V active GPS antenna, the GPS_V_ANT has to be connected to 5V external power supply respectively. The other possibility is available when you connect the GPS_VCC_RF output (which provides 3.0V) to GPS_V_ANT, so that an antenna with 3.0V supply voltage can be used. GPS_VCC_RF: This pin is an output which provide +3.0 V DC, and can be connected to the GPS_V_ANT, to supply the connected GPS antenna. In Trickle Power and Push-To-Fix modes, GPS_VCC_RF is switched off during the sleep mode. 4.5 General purpose input/output Several I/O’s (GPS_GPIO0, GPS_GPIO1, GPS_GPIO3, GPS_GPIO5, GPS_GPIO6, GPS_GPIO7, GPS_GPIO10, GPS_GPIO13, GPS_GPIO14, GPS_GPIO15) of the CPU are connected to the hardware interface connector of the XT55 GPS receiver. They are reserved for customer specific applications. For example: · For realization a SPI-Bus · For realization an antenna indication. Not all of these pins are supported by the current GPS firmware.

It is intended for communication with the GSM/ GPRS part of the XT55 module. See Figure 1 for details. · Depending on the used GPS protocol the following baud rates are supported: 4800, 9600 bps, for further details refer to [2] SD1 and SD2 · Both interfaces are configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit · For more detailed characteristics see [2] 4.7 GPS control signals GPS_M-RST: This pin provides an active-low reset input to the board. It causes the board to reset and start searching for satellites. Reset is an optional input and, if not utilized, it may be left open. GPS_GPIO9 (T-MARK): This pin provides 1 pulse per second output from the board, which is synchronized to within 1 microsecond of GPS time. The output is a CMOS level signal. GPS_BOOTSEL: Set this Pin to high for reprogramming the flash of the XT55 GPS part (for instance updating to a new firmware for the XT55 GPS part). GPS_RFPC0, GPS_RFPC1 These pins are input pins for Trickle-Power Mode control. They must be connected externally to GPS_GPIO8 and GPS_GPIO4. GPS_GPIO8, GPS_GPIO4: These pins are control outputs for the Trickle-Power Mode. GPS_GPIO8 must be connected to GPS_RFPC0 and GPS_GPIO4 to GPS_RFPC1. GPS_GPIO8, GPS_GPIO4 can also be used to control a LED. A possible circuit is shown in Figure 24. If the LED lights permanently the GPS receiver is searching for satellites. Is the GPS receiver in Trickle-Power Mode, the LED flashes in rhythm, i.e. the GPS receiver receives valid positions data. Timing differs between GPS_GPIO4 and GPS_GPIO8. Note: By switched off Trickle power the LED will flash permanently. The reception of satellites data can be checked by using the T-Mark, however, cannot be evaluated.

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 76 of 116 15.03.2004 Figure 32 above shows the block diagram of the XT55 GPS receiver architecture. The GPS module is separated into four major parts: RF frequency down-converter, digital baseband demodulation, embedded ARM microprocessor and internal GPS software stored on-board (1 MBits) Flash-Memory. The RF frequency conversion and the baseband demodulation are executed by hardware while the embedded ARM processor computes the GPS Position, Velocity and Time solution employing the internal GPS software. The purpose of the RF circuitry is to reinforce the very weak (-130dBm nominal) GPS signal, filter it and down-convert it to an Intermediate Frequency (IF) of 9.45MHz for digital processing. The SiRFstarII architecture relies on the high level of integration in the GRF2i to significantly reduce part count and circuit complexity. The IF filter is built-in as well. · The digital baseband demodulator takes the quantified GPS signal and detects the individual satellites serial data bit stream, along with the associated pseudo range. This action consists of removing spread spectrum and Doppler frequency components of the signal to obtain the serial data messages. · The embedded ARM processor monitors channel allocation, extracts the raw satellite tracking data, computes the position and time solution and sends it on a serial port for high level applications to use or processes it locally. Support functions for the microprocessor include real-time clock and reset pulse generator circuits. The internal GPS software monitors and allocates channels, computers the Position, Velocity and Time using the pseudo-range of the satellites and reformats the data to be output or used locally. The internal GPS software is a tasking based architecture driven by the 100ms interrupt generated by GPS2e internal hardware. 4.9 Operation procedure When the receiver is powered up, it steps trough a sequence of states until it can initially determine position, velocity and time. Afterwards, the satellite signals are tracked continuously and the position is calculated periodically. In order to perform a navigation solution (3D solution), the receiver needs. · Pseudo-ranges for at least 3 satellites · Ephemeris Data for the satellites it will use in the navigation solution. Note: If almanac navigation is enabled, the receiver can calculate a position without downloading ephemeris data (with a significant position error compared to an ephemeris based solution). The Initial Position Calculation is made, using a Least-Squares Algorithm. Successive Position Calculations are performed with a Kalman Filter. To generate a Position (3D solution) Calculation the receiver needs at least 4 measurements to different satellites. In order to calculate a position (Latitude/Longitude/Height), as a 2D solution with a estimated height value, then 3 different satellites are required. Pseudo-range and Carrier phase information are available to the Position Determination Algorithms if the receiver has found a SV (Acquisition) and can track the signal thereafter. Ephemeris data for a SV can be decoded from Orbit Data once the GPS signal has been acquired. Each SV transmits its own ephemeris data, the broadcast lasts for 18 seconds, repeating every 30 seconds. The receiver stores ephemeris data in battery-backed memory. This data can be used in future startup’s to improve the time to first fix (TTFF). The Ephemeris can also be supplied to the receiver via the serial port.
XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 77 of 116 15.03.2004 4.10 Start-up procedures The start-up strategy of the XT55 GPS part depends on the last position, current time and ephemeris data, that the receiver has stored no-board SRAM memory. There are three different start up procedures: 4.10.1 Coldstart The Coldstart take place when the receiver has no knowledge of its last position or time. In this case the GPS RTC has not been running and no valid ephemeris data or almanac data is available (The receiver has never been navigating or no battery backup memory available). 4.10.2 Warmstart This start-up procedure Warmstart is performed whenever the receiver is able to use the valid almanac data, and has not in an important manner moved since the last valid position calculation. This procedure start if the receiver has been shut off for more than 2 hours, but the last position, time and almanac are still acknowledged. This procedure allows it to announce in advance the current visible satellites. However, since ephemeris data is not available or no longer widely used, the receiver needs to wait for the ephemeris broadcast to complete. 4.10.3 Hotstart This procedure Hotstart is performed whenever the receiver still has access to valid ephemeris data and exact time. This procedure start if the receiver has been shut off for less than 2 hours and the GPS RTC has been running during that time. Furthermore, during the previous session, the receiver must have been navigating (to allow it to decode and store ephemeris data). In Hotstart, the receiver can announce in advance the currently visible satellites, and is therefore able to quickly obtain and track the signal. Due to the fact that ephemeris is already known, there is no need to wait for the ephemeris broadcast to complete.

XT55 is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna connector or pad without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power. The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radiated power, DC-power consumption and harmonic suppression. Matching networks are not included on the XT55 PCB and should be placed in the host application. Regarding the return loss XT55 provides the following values: Table 20: Return loss State of module Return loss of module Recommended return loss of application Receive > 8dB > 12dB Transmit not applicable > 12dB Idle < 5dB not applicable The connection of the antenna or other equipment must be decoupled from DC voltage. 5.1.1 GSM antenna connector To suit the physical design of individual applications XT55 offers two alternative approaches to connecting the GSM antenna: · Recommended approach: U.FL-R-SMT antenna connector from Hirose assembled on the component side of the PCB (top view on XT55).

For compliance with the test results of the Siemens type approval you are advised to give priority to the connector, rather than using the antenna pad. IMPORTANT: Both solutions can only be applied alternatively. This means, whenever an antenna is plugged to the Hirose connector, the pad must not be used. Vice versa, if the antenna is connected to the pad, then the Hirose connector must be left empty.

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 80 of 116 15.03.2004 5.1.2 GSM antenna pad The antenna can be soldered to the pad, or attached via contact springs. To help you ground the antenna, XT55 comes with a grounding plane located close to the antenna pad. The positions of both pads can be seen from Figure 52. When you decide to use the antenna pad take into account that the pad has not been intended as antenna reference point (ARP) for the Siemens XT55 type approval. The antenna pad is provided only as an alternative option which can be used, for example, if the recommended Hirose connection does not fit into your antenna design. Also, consider that according to the GSM recommendations TS 45.005 and TS 51.010-01 a 50" connector is mandatory for type approval measurements. This requires GSM devices with an integral antenna to be temporarily equipped with a suitable connector or a low loss RF cable with adapter. To prevent damage to the module and to obtain long-term solder joint properties you are advised to maintain the standards of good engineering practice for soldering. XT55 material properties: XT55 PCB: FR4 Antenna pad: Gold plated pad Suitable cable types: For direct solder attachment, we suggest to use the following cable types: · RG316/U 50 Ohm coaxial cable · 1671A 50 Ohm coaxial cable Suitable cables are offered, for example, by IMS Connector Systems.

Consequently, it is subject to ESD handling precautions that typically apply to ESD sensitive components. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation of any application that incorporates a XT55 module. Special ESD protection provided on XT55: Antenna interface: one spark discharge line (spark gap) SIM interface: clamp diodes for protection against overvoltage. The remaining ports of XT55 are not accessible to the user of the final product (since they are installed within the device) and therefore, are only protected according to the “Human Body Model” requirements. XT55 has been tested according to the EN 61000-4-2 standard. The measured values can be gathered from the following table. Table 35: Measured electrostatic values Specification / Requirements Contact discharge Air discharge ETSI EN 301 489-7 ESD at SIM port (GSM) ± 4kV ± 8kV ESD at GSM antenna port ± 4kV ± 8kV Indirect ESD to GSM/GPRS part ± 4kV - Indirect ESD to GPS part ± 4kV - Human Body Model (Test conditions: 1.5 kW, 100 pF) ESD at GPS antenna port ± 1kV ESD at all other ports ± 1kV Please note that the values may vary with the individual application design. For example, it matters whether or not the application platform is grounded over external devices like a computer or other equipment, such as the Siemens reference application described in Chapter 8.

XT55 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary s mo b i l e XT55_hd_v00.02 Page 109 of 116 15.03.2004 7.2 Mounting XT55 onto the application platform There are many ways to properly install XT55 in the host device. An efficient approach is to mount the XT55 PCB to a frame, plate, rack or chassis. Fasteners can be M1.6 or M1.8 screws plus suitable washers, circuit board spacers, or customized screws, clamps, or brackets. Screws must be inserted with the screw head on the bottom of the XT55 PCB. In addition, the board-to-board connection can also be utilized to achieve better support. Particular attention must be paid to the holes marked with an arrow in Figure 52. The two holes are close to other components of XT55 and care must be taken to avoid contacting them. For example, you can insert plastic screws and plastic washers, or fasteners small enough not to protrude beyond the mounting areas specified in Figure 53. In case you wish to connect the host device using the mounting hole enclosed by the dashed line it is strongly recommended to use a plastic dowel according to Figure 55. Figure 54: Mounting holes on XT55 For proper grounding it is strongly recommended to use the ground plane on the back side in addition to the five GND pins of the board-to-board connector. To avoid short circuits ensure that the remaining sections of the XT55 PCB do not come into contact with the host device since there are a number of test points. Figure 52 shows the positions of all test points. To prevent mechanical damage, be careful not to force, bend or twist the module. Be sure it is positioned flat against the host device. All the information you need to install an antenna is summarized in Chapter 5. Note that the antenna pad on the bottom of the XT55 PCB must not be influenced by any other PCBs, components or by the housing of the host device. It needs to be surrounded by a restricted space as described in Chapter 5.1.2.
