EHS6 Hardware Interface Overview
2 Interface Characteristics
21
Interface Characteristics
EHS6 is equipped with an SMT application interface that connects to the external application.
The SMT application interface incorporates the various application interfaces as well as the RF
antenna interface.
2.1
Application Interface
2.1.1
USB Interface
EHS6 supports a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mbit/s) device interface that is Full Speed (12Mbit/
s) compliant. The USB interface is primarily intended for use as command and data interface
and for downloading firmware.
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
EHS6 is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0”1.

1)
All serial (including RS) and pull-up resistors for data lines are implemented.
If the USB interface is operated in High Speed mode (480MHz), it is recommended to take
special care routing the data lines USB_DP and USB_DN. Application layout should in this
case implement a differential impedance of 90Ohm for proper signal integrity.
2)
Figure 2: USB circuit
To properly connect the module's USB interface to the host a USB 2.0 compatible connector is
required. Furthermore, the USB modem driver distributed with EHS6 needs to be installed.

2.1 Application Interface


While the USB connection is active, the module will not change into SLEEP Mode. To enable
switching into SLEEP mode the USB host must bring its USB interface into Suspend state. Also, VUSB_IN should always be kept enabled for this functionality. See “Universal Serial Bus
Specification Revision 2.0“1 for a description of the Suspend state. On incoming calls EHS6 will
then generate a remote wake up request to resume the USB connection (active low).
As an alternative to the regular USB remote wakeup mechanism it is possible to employ the
RING0 line to wake up the host application. The benefit is that the RING0 line can wake up the
host application in case of incoming calls or other events signalized by URCs while the USB
interface is suspended or shut down.
2.1.2
Serial Interface ASC0
EHS6 offers an 8-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC0 conforming to ITUT V.24 protocol DCE signalling. The electrical characteristics do not comply with ITU-T V.28.
The significant levels are 0V (for low data bit or active state) and 1.8V (for high data bit or inactive state).
EHS6 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:
• Port TXD @ application sends data to the module’s TXD0 signal line
• Port RXD @ application receives data from the module’s RXD0 signal line
Figure 3: Serial interface ASC0
Features:
• Includes the data lines TXD0 and RXD0, the status lines RTS0 and CTS0 and, in addition,
the modem control lines DTR0, DSR0, DCD0 and RING0.
• ASC0 is designed for controlling GSM/UMTS voice calls, transferring data and for controlling the module with AT commands.
• Full multiplexing capability allows the interface to be partitioned into virtual channels.
• The 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.
Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1,200bps up to 921,600bps.
Autobauding supports bit rates from 1,200bps up to 230,400bps.
Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control. The hardware hand shake line RTS0 has an
internal pull down resistor causing a low level signal, if the line is not used and open.
Although hardware flow control is recommended, this allows communication by using only
RXD and TXD lines.
Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation (high to low transition).
2.1.3
Serial Interface ASC1
Four EHS6 GPIO lines can be configured as ASC1 interface signals to provide a 4-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC1 conforming to ITU-T V.24 protocol DCE signalling. The electrical characteristics do not comply with ITU-T V.28. The significant levels are 0V
(for low data bit or active state) and 1.8V (for high data bit or inactive state).
EHS6 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:
• Port TXD @ application sends data to module’s TXD1 signal line
• Port RXD @ application receives data from the module’s RXD1 signal line
Figure 4: Serial interface ASC1
Features
• Includes only the data lines TXD1 and RXD1 plus RTS1 and CTS1 for hardware handshake.
• On ASC1 no RING line is available.
• Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 or 2 stop bits.
• ASC1 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1,200 bps to 921,600 bps.
• Autobauding supports bit rates from 1,200bps up to 230,400bps.
• Supports RTS1/CTS1 hardware flow. The hardware hand shake line RTS0 has an internal
pull down resistor causing a low level signal, if the line is not used and open. Although hardware flow control is recommended, this allows communication by using only RXD and TXD
lines.

UICC/SIM/USIM Interface
EHS6 has an integrated UICC/SIM/USIM interface compatible with the 3GPP 31.102 and ETSI
102 221. This is 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 the SIM interface.
The UICC/SIM/USIM interface supports 3V and 1.8V SIM cards.
The CCIN signal serves to detect whether a tray (with SIM card) is present in the card holder.
Using the CCIN 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 EHS6 and is part of the Cinterion reference equipment submitted for type
approval. See Section 7.1 for Molex ordering numbers.

CCCLK
Chipcard clock
CCVCC
SIM supply voltage.
CCIO
Serial data line, input and output.
CCRST
Chipcard reset
CCIN
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 destruction of the SIM. The CCIN signal is by default low and will change to high level if a SIM card
is inserted.
The CCIN signal is mandatory for applications that allow the user to remove the SIM card
during operation.
The CCIN 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
EHS6.
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 the SIM card during operation. In
this case, the application must restart EHS6.

The total cable length between the SMT application interface pads on EHS6 and the pads of
the external SIM card holder must not exceed 100mm in order to meet the specifications of
3GPP TS 51.010-1 and to satisfy the requirements of EMC compliance.
To avoid possible cross-talk from the CCCLK signal to the CCIO signal be careful that both
lines are not placed closely next to each other. A useful approach is using a GND line to shield
the CCIO line from the CCCLK line.
2.1.5
Digital Audio Interface
EHS6‘s digital audio interface (DAI) can be used to connect audio devices capable of pulse
code modulation (PCM).
2.1.6
GPIO Interface
EHS6 offers a GPIO interface with 22 GPIO lines. The GPIO lines are shared with other interfaces resp. functions: Fast shutdown (see Section 2.1.13), status LED (see Section 2.1.12), the
PWM functionality (see Section 2.1.10), an pulse counter (see Section 2.1.11), ASC0 (see Section 2.1.2), ASC1 (see Section 2.1.3), an SPI interface (see Section 2.1.8), an HSIC interface
(see Section 2.1.9) and a PCM interface (see Section 2.1.5)
The following table shows the configuration variants for the GPIO pads. All variants are mutually exclusive, i.e. a pad configured for instance as Status LED is locked for alternative usage.

When the EHS6 starts up, all GPIO lines (except GPIO1-GPIO3 and GPIO24) are set to highimpedance state after initializing. Therefore, it is recommended to connect external pull-up or
pull-down resistors to those GPIO lines that are to be used as output. This is necessary to keep
these lines from floating or driving any external devices.

I2C Interface
I2C is a serial, 8-bit oriented data transfer bus for bit rates up to 400kbps in Fast mode. It consists of two lines, the serial data line I2CDAT and the serial clock line I2CCLK. The module acts
as a single master device, e.g. the clock I2CCLK is driven by the module. I2CDAT is a bi-directional line. Each device connected to the bus is software addressable by a unique 7-bit address, and simple master/slave relationships exist at all times. The module operates as mastertransmitter or as master-receiver. The customer application transmits or receives data only on
request of the module.
The I2C interface can be powered via the V180 line of EHS6. If connected to the V180 line, the
I2C interface will properly shut down when the module enters the Power Down mode.
Note: Good care should be taken when creating the PCB layout of the host application: The
traces of I2CCLK and I2CDAT should be equal in length and as short as possible.
2.1.8
SPI Interface
Four EHS6 GPIO interface lines can be configured as Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The
SPI is a synchronous serial interface for control and data transfer between EHS6 and the external application. Only one application can be connected to the SPI and the interface supports
only master mode. The transmission rates are up to 26Mbit/s. The SPI interface comprises the
two data lines MOSI and MISO, the clock line SPI_CLK a well as the chip select line SPI_CS.
2.1.9
HSIC Interface
The (USB) High Speed Inter Chip Interface can be used between the module and an external
application processor and is compliant to the High Speed USB 2.0 interface with 480Mbit/s.
The maximum distance between module processor and external application processor should
not exceed 100mm.
The HSIC interface comprises 6 lines:
• Two signal lines (strobe - HSIC_STRB - and data - HSIC_DATA) are used in a source synchronous serial interface with a 240MHz clock to provide a 480Mbps USB interface.
The HSIC_STRB and HSIC_DATA lines are high-speed signals and should be routed as
50Ohm impedance traces. The trace length of these signals should be balanced to minimize timing skew and no longer as 100mm.
• Four signal lines for Link Power Management (LPM). For further power reduction, the USB
HSIC interface supports LPM according to the USB 2.0 standard. The LPM defines power
management states and mechanisms to affect state changes that are used by the
AP_WAKEUP and CP_WAKEUP signal lines to efficiently manage bus and system power.
To take advantage of the LPM feature, two further signals are needed to support power
management state transitions - the SUSPEND and HOST_ACTIVE signals.

PWM Interfaces
The GPIO6 and GPIO7 interface lines can be configured as Pulse Width Modulation interface
lines PWM1 and PWM2. The PWM interface lines can be used, for example, to connect buzzers. The PWM1 line is shared with GPIO7 and the PWM2 line is shared with GPIO6 (for GPIOs
see Section 2.1.6). GPIO and PWM functionality are mutually exclusive.

Fast Shutdown
The GPIO4 interface line can be configured as fast shutdown signal line FST_SHDN. The configured FST_SHDN line is an active low control signal and must be applied for at least 10ms.
If unused this line can be left open because of a configured internal pull-up resistor.

2.2
RF Antenna Interface
The RF interface has an impedance of 50. EHS6 is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at
the antenna line without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power.
The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radiated power, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Antenna matching networks are
not included on the EHS6 module and should be placed in the host application if the antenna
does not have an impedance of 50.
Regarding the return loss EHS6 provides the following values in the active band:

2.2.1

Antenna Installation
The antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pad (RF_OUT, i.e., pad #59) and its neighboring ground pads (GND, i.e., pads #58 and #60) directly to the application’s PCB. The antenna pad is the antenna reference point (ARP) for EHS6. All RF data specified throughout this
document is related to the ARP.
The distance between the antenna RF_OUT pad (#59) and its neighboring GND pads (#58,
#60) has been optimized for best possible impedance. On the application PCB, special attention should be paid to these 3 pads, in order to prevent mismatch.
The wiring of the antenna connection line, starting from the antenna pad to the application antenna should result in a 50 line impedance. Line width and distance to the GND plane needs
to be optimized with regard to the PCB’s layer stack.
To prevent receiver desensitization due to interferences generated by fast transients like high
speed clocks on the application PCB, it is recommended to realize the antenna connection line
using embedded Stripline rather than Micro-Stripline technology.
For type approval purposes, the use of a 50 coaxial antenna connector (U.FL-R-SMT) might
be necessary. In this case the U.FL-R-SMT connector should be placed as close as possible
to EHS6‘s antenna pad.

2.3 Sample Application

2.3

Sample Application
Figure 6 shows a typical example of how to integrate a EHS6 module with an application. Usage of the various host interfaces depends on the desired features of the application.
Because of the very low power consumption design, current flowing from any other source into
the module circuit must be avoided, for example reverse current from high state external control
lines. Therefore, the controlling application must be designed to prevent reverse current flow.
Otherwise there is the risk of undefined states of the module during startup and shutdown or
even of damaging the module.
Because of the high RF field density inside the module, it cannot be guaranteed that no self
interference might occur, depending on frequency and the applications grounding concept. excluded that in some applications dependant on the grounding concept of the customer. The potential interferers may be minimized by placing small capacitors (47pF) at suspected lines (e.g.
RXD0, RXT0, VDDLP, and ON).
While developing SMT applications it is strongly recommended to provide test points
for certain signals resp. 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 on
how 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 position of components. For example, mounting the internal acoustic transducers directly on the
PCB eliminates the need to use the ferrite beads shown in the sample schematic.
Please note that EHS6 is not intended for use with cables longer than 3m.
Disclaimer
No warranty, either stated or implied, is provided on the sample schematic diagram shown in
Figure 6 and the information detailed in this section. As functionality and compliance with national regulations depend to a great amount on the used electronic components and the individual application layout manufacturers are required to ensure adequate design and operating
safeguards for their products using EHS6 modules.

Safety Precaution Notes
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage,
service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating EHS6. 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. Cinterion Wireless Modules 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 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 speakerphone operation.
Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle.
Speakerphones must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or operation can constitute a safety hazard.
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.
