2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The g20 is Motorola’s newest family of embedded cellular products. Motorola continues its tradition of excellence by
introducing this new cellular engine family for GSM/GPRS communications, consisting of the d10, the d15 and the g18.
The new module is similar to a condensed cellular phone core, and can be integrated in any system or product that needs to
transfer voice or data information. Thus, it significantly enhances the system’s capabilities, transforming it from a standalone,
isolated product to a powerful component connected to communication nets.
The new g20 is extremely small in dimensions, yet packed with a host of highly-advanced features designed to facilitate fast
and easy integration with OEM user products. It significantly shortens the development process for OEM developers, thanks to

2.6 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
The Federal Communications Commission (FEC) requires application for certification of digital devices in accordance with
CFR Title 47, Part 2 and Part 15. This includes Electromagnetic Energy Exposure (EME) testing. As the g20 modem is not a
standalone transceiver but is an integrated module, the g20 cannot be tested by itself for EME certification. It is, however, the
integrator’s responsibility to have the completed device tested for EME certification.
2.7 REGULATORY STATEMENT
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any cellular
terminal or mobile incorporating the g20 module. 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 prod-
uct. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product.
Motorola assumes no liability for customer failure to comply with these precautions.
13. The g20 must be operated at the voltages described in the technical documentation.
14. The g20 must not be mechanically nor electrically changed. Use of connectors should follow the guidance of the technical
documentation.
15. The g20 is designed the meet the EMC requirements of ETS 300 342.
16. When integrating the g20 into a system, Motorola recommends testing the system to ETS300342-1.
17. The g20 meets the safety requirements of EN60950.
18. Systems using the g20 are subject to mandatory EMC testing under directive 89/336/EEC (see item 3 above). Other
directives, such as the LVD directive 73/23/EE, may also apply to a system using the g20 module.

2.8 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.8.1 User Operation
Do not operate your unit when a person is within 8 inches (20 centimeters) of the antenna. A person or object within 8 inches
(20 centimeters) of the antenna could impair call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than neces-
sary.
IMPORTANT: The unit must be installed in a manner that provides a minimum separation distance of
20 cm or more between the antenna and persons to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices.
IMPORTANT: To comply with the FCC RF exposure limits and satisfy the categorical exclusion requirements for mobile
transmitters, the following requirements must be met:
2.8.2 Antenna Installation
The antenna installation must provide a minimum separation distance of 20 cm from users and nearby persons and must not
be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The combined cable loss and antenna gain must not exceed +9.9 dBi and total system output must not exceed 1.5 W ERP
(Cellular) / 3.0 W EIRP (PCS) to qualify for categorical exclusion requirements of 2.1091. OEM installers must be provided
with antenna installation instruction and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

This chapter describes the basic blocks comprising the g20 module and the connectivity options for the module.
3.1.1 g20 Block Diagram
Figure 1 shows a block diagram for the g20 module:
Figure 1. g20 Block Diagram
The g20 consists of the following blocks:
Power and Audio Management IC: This block is responsible for the power on/off process, analog audio drivers, internal
regulators, realtime clock activities, and the battery charging process. When an On command is received, this IC wakes up
the internal regulators and controls the reset process. This activity turns the unit on. When an Off command is received, this
IC sends the request to the main processor, which in turn shuts down the unit in an orderly fashion. During shutdown, the
unit is disconnected from the network, all tasks are terminated and the regulators are shut down. The on/off inputs (On/Off
and Ignition) are always on, even when the unit is off.

3.2 POWER SUPPLY AND CURRENT CONSUMPTION
This section describes the following power-related considerations for the g20:
Power supply design
g20 current consumption
Turning the unit on/off
Sleep mode options
3.2.1 Power Supply Design
The following power supply design considerations apply to the g20:
The g20 is designed to operate between 3.0 V to 4.2 V on the g20 input (after all losses). In order to reduce battery power
consumption, it is important to verify power supply line and regulator losses in the PCB.
The g20 is a GSM/GPRS phone that transmits in 0.5 ms pulses every 4.6 ms. The peak current is approximately 2.0 A.
When the power supply is lower than 2.85 V, the g20 software determines that the battery is low and disconnects the unit.
When the voltage is greater than 4.25 V, the g20 software detects an over voltage condition and does not allow the unit to
establish a call.
The VCC line typically drops during TX periods.
Figure 5. VCC Signal During TX Periods
To minimize the ∆, it is recommended to use lines that are as short as possible, and to place a 1000uF capacitor (or the maximum
possible) in the g20 VCC input. (When a battery is used, there is no need for a large capacitor.)
It is recommended to keep the less than 0.3 V.
3.2.1.1 Power Supply RF Filtering
It is recommended to add RF filtering to the DC lines.
Use 100nF, 39pF, 22pF or 8.2pF capacitors in parallel to the power supply lines (close to the g20 connector). The following
capacitor requirements apply:
100nF is for filtering logic data noise (clocks, serial communications, and so on).
39pF is used for 850/900 bands.
22pF is used for 900 band.
8.2pF is used for 1800/1900 bands.
The appropriate capacitor value(s) should be selected according to the GSM band used by the customer.
Note
The power supply should be able to drive at least 2.5 A at 3 V DC.

3.2.2 g20 Current Consumption
In order to design the power supply correctly and to calculate the battery life, you should take into account the current
consumption of the g20 when operating in different modes.
3.2.3 Turning the Unit On/Off
Two different mechanisms are available to turn the g20 on and off:
On/Off signal (Pin 53)
Ignition signal (Pin 51)
Table 4. g20 Current Consumption

@ Power level #19, Typical 135 mA
GSM 850 @ Power level #7 < 250 mA, Typical 185 mA
@ Power level #10, Typical 160 mA
@ Power level #19, Typical 135 mA
DCS 1800 @ Power level #0 < 300 mA, Typical 220 mA
@ Power level #10, Typical 160 mA
@ Power level #19, Typical 135 mA
PCS 1900 @ Power level #5 < 300 mA, Typical 240 mA
@ Power level #10, Typical 160 mA
@ Power level #19, Typical 135 mA
Note
DRX2/9 is the rate used by the base station to query the mobile station. The network operator sets this parameter.
Note
The g20 power-on and power-off timing may vary slightly, depending on the software version.
98-08901C66-G 19
3.2.3.1 On/Off Signal
The on/off signal is an active-low toggle switch. After power is applied to the g20, the on/off signal is pulled high to VCC by
an internal 200K resistor.
To turn the g20 on, the on/off signal should be pulled low for a minimum of 800 ms (T1). This will initiate the power-on process,
which lasts about five seconds, after which the g20 is ready to communicate.
To turn the g20 off, the on/off signal should be pulled low for a minimum of two seconds. This will initiate the power-off
process, which lasts about eight seconds, after which the g20 will shut down. The g20 can be turned off only if at least 10 seconds
have elapsed since the last power on.
Figure 6 shows the timing diagram for the on/off signal.
Figure 6. On/Off Signal Timing Diagram
In Figure 6, the following timing requirements apply:
T1 minimum = 800 ms.
T2 minimum = 10 seconds.
T3 minimum = 2 seconds.
3.2.3.2 Ignition Signal
The ignition signal turns the g20 on and off, depending on its logic state.
To turn the g20 on, the ignition signal must be pulled high. This initiates the power-on process, which lasts about five seconds,
after which the g20 is ready to communicate. The g20 remains active for the duration of the ignition signal remaining high.
To turn the g20 off, the ignition signal must be pulled low. This initiates the power-off process, which may last up to 30 seconds,
after which the g20 will shut down. The ignition signal must remain low for the duration of the power-off process, until the g20
shuts down. Otherwise, the power-off process may be interrupted or may not complete.
3.2.4 Sleep Mode Options
This section describes how the g20 can be awakened by the DTE and vice-versa.
The DCE (g20) and the DTE can incorporate a sleep mechanism in their application in order to conserve battery life.
Sleep mode enables the g20 to be awakened when the DTE wants to communicate with it. Conversely, it also enables the DTE
to be awakened by the g20 when the g20 wants to communicate with it. The g20 will not enter sleep mode if the USB is
connected.
3.2.4.1 General
The g20 Sleep Mode option can be enabled or disabled using ATS24.
Sleep mode is activated by sending ATS24 = n, where n = 1, 2, 3 or 4 seconds. (To disable Sleep mode, send ATS24=0.)
The g20 drops the CTS (h/w Flow Control) when it is in Sleep mode.
The g20 does not enter Sleep mode when data is present on TXD or RXD lines.
At the end of the TXD (meaning, the TXD buffer is empty), the g20 waits n seconds (as defined in ATS24 = n) before enter-
ing Sleep mode.
T1 T2 T3
20 98-08901C66-G
The DTE uses CTS to send data only when the g20 is awake. The DTE waits when the g20 is in Sleep mode.
When the g20 is asleep, the CTS line will blink.
The DTE should drop RTS during the sleep period in order to prevent the loss of data sent by the g20.
Figure 7. CTS Sleep Mode Timing
3.2.4.2 DCE/DTE Connectivity
Figure 8 shows DCE/DTE connectivity:
Figure 8. DCE/DTE Connectivity
Waking Up the g20:
The following apply when waking up the g20:
The Wake-up In line is used to awaken the g20. This input is routed into an Interrupt in the g20.
Whenever the Wake-up In line is at logic “low”, the g20 remains in an awake state.
When the DTE needs to send data, it should activate this line, wait 30 ms (the wake time required for the g20), and then start
sending the data.

While the DTE is sending data, the wake-up line should remain low, so that the g20 does not enter Sleep mode.
Figure 9. Waking Up the g20 when the DTE wants to Send Data
Waking Up the DTE:
The following apply when waking up the DTE:
The g20 uses the Wake-up Out line to indicate to the DTE that data is present.
The DTE should not enter Sleep mode when the Wake-up Out line is low.
When the g20 has data to send to the DTE, it drops the Wake-up Out line to low.
The g20 will send the Wake-up Out line #ms to low, as indicated by S102 in Figure 10.
While the g20 is sending data, the Wake-up Out line remains low.
After the sending of data is completed, the g20 brings the Wake-up Out line to high.
The DTE should keep RTS off during this sleep period in order to avoid sending data when it is not ready.

3.3.1 RS232
The following apply when using the RS2332 interface of the g20:
The g20 supports full hardware flow control (8 pins), software flow control (Xon/Xoff) and non-flow control.
The g20 UART is connected directly to the interface connector.
The g20 is a DCE device. Applicable line terminology is shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11. g20 RS232 Interface
3.3.1.1 RS232 Levels
RS232 levels are as follows:
Vih = 1.95 V minimum, 3.0 V maximum
Vil = 0.8 V maximum
Voh = 2.56 V minimum @ 100 uA
Vol = 0.2 V maximum @ 100 uA
3.3.1.2 RS232 Connection
As shown in Figure 12, the g20 can be connected to the DTE UART using all eight RS232 signals.
The g20 selects its communication channel, RS232 or USB, depending on the state of the USB_VBUS signal (pin 10) at power
up. The g20 operates in RS232 mode if the USB_VBUS signal is low at power up and remains low during operation.
The g20 does not support dynamic switching between RS232 and USB channels during operation, and does not support
simultaneous operation.
Note
A buffer is required whenever DTE levels do not match g20 levels (not 5V tolerant).
Note
When the g20 is switched off, it is recommended to keep the RS232 signals of the DTE at tri-state or at a low level
in order to prevent potential latch-up.

3.3.2 USB
The g20 selects its communication channel, RS232 or USB, depending on the state of the USB_VBUS signal (pin 10) at power
up. The g20 operates in USB mode if the USB_VBUS signal is high at power up and remains high during operation. The
USB_VBUS signal is the power line of the USB interface, which powers the USB circuitry.
The g20 does not support dynamic switching between RS232 and USB channels during operation, and does not support
simultaneous operation
When USB is used, the DTE device must unload (meaning disconnect or place in tri-state) the RS232 lines. Otherwise, the USB
may not operate properly.
The USB port is also used to load software into the g20. It is recommended to include connectivity to this port in the user
application.
The g20 supports USB 1.1 at a baud rate of 12 Mbps.
3.3.2.1 USB Connection
A USB connection diagram is shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12. g20 USB Connection for g20 Models
As shown in Figure 12, the g20 USB is connected via three lines to the USB connector in the user application: D+, D- and USB
VBUS. When USB VBUS is applied, the g20 detects it and switches the main processor to USB mode.
Note
The DTE UART loads the USB driver/main processor lines. Therefore, the UART should be kept in tri-state.
USB usage eliminates sleep mode in the g20.

3.3.3 SIM
The g20 includes a SIM card driver, however, it does not contain a SIM socket. SIM signals are routed to the interface connector
and include all the functionality required for SIM card operation. The SIM card socket must be located in the customer
application, and connected to the g20 interface connector as described in the following section.
3.3.3.1 SIM Connection
Figure 13 shows a g20 SIM connection:
Figure 13. g20 SIM Connection
The following apply for g20 SIM connections:
The g20 passes all ETSI tests when an external socket is connected to the g20 with lines shorter than 10 cm. Longer signal
connections may require additional testing to be performed.
The g20 supports 3.0V and 1.8V SIM cards.
The SIM card detect signal, SIM_PD, operates in active low logic.
The SIM card signals must be carefully routed to minimize ESD and EMI susceptibility. The following are guidelines for proper
SIM application operation:
The SIM ground must be connected to the main ground through an inductive element.
The SIM card socket should be located away from the antenna as far as possible.
The SIM logic signals, DIO, CLK, RST and PD, may need to be filtered with 10pF capacitors, depending on the application
and its distance from the antenna.
The SIM detect signal, SIM_PD, should be connected to the g20 through a 15uH inductor.
Low capacitance zener diodes should be placed as close as possible to the SIM card socket contacts, for proper ESD
protection.
98-08901C66-G 25
3.3.4 SPI
The SPI is a standard microprocessor bus used as a g20 debugging port. This port activates a debug option that enables logs to
be taken from the g20 while it is operating. It is recommended that this bus be accessible in the user application. In the g20
Developer’s Kit, the SPI bus is converted to an RS232 protocol using a special interface circuit. It then uses the standard RS232
port for debugging. Table 5 shows the pins available on the SPI bus.
3.3.4.1 SPI Connection
3.3.5 Unique g20 Interfaces
The g20 contains unique functions (pins) that may be required by selected user applications, such as TX_EN, Antenna Detect,
GPRS Detect and Entertainment Mute. Each of these functions is described in the sections that follow.
3.3.5.1 Transmit Enable
This pin indicates when the g20 is transmitting RF in the antenna.
Figure 14. TX_EN Transmission
3.3.5.2 GPRS Coverage Indication
This pin indicates whether or not the g20 is located in an area with GPRS network coverage. This pin can be used to indicate
the GPRS coverage status before GPRS section activation has occurred, or before a switch to circuit-switched data is made. The
default operation of this signal is active low, meaning this signal is at 0 when GPRS coverage is available. It is possible to switch
the signal’s polarity to active high using an AT command. Refer to the g20 AT Commands document (9808901C68-O) for the
AT commands description.

3.3.5.3 Antenna Detect
This pin indicates whether or not the antenna is inserted. This option can be used with antennas with a resistance to ground of
less than 100K. The antenna detect circuit detects whether the ohmic resistance of the antenna is 100 Kohm or lower, which is
required for the antenna to be detected. If the ohmic resistance is higher than 100 Kohm, the antenna is not detected.
In software versions 34D and later, this signal has been collaborated to match the logic detection threshold of the g20, and
exhibits best results when connected back to the g20. A dedicated g20 input signal, pin 37, is available for the antenna detection
input. This is to ensure proper operation of the antenna-detect AT command, which enables software indication of the antenna
state.
Figure 15. Antenna Detect
3.4 AUDIO INTERFACES
The g20 has an analog audio interface and a digital audio interface. Both of these interfaces are described in the sections that
follow.
3.4.1 Analog Audio Interfaces
The g20 supports microphone input, headset microphone input, differential speaker output, and a differential alert speaker.
3.4.1.1 Analog Input
The g20 has two different analog inputs, referenced to the microphone ground (pin 59). The g20 contains an analog amplifier
with a default gain of 16dB, which can be adjusted in seven steps between 0 and 31dB using the AT+MMICG command. For
more details about this command, refer to the g20 AT Commands document (9808901C68).
When the default gain of 16dB is used, then the level considerations should be as follows:
Headset microphone: Pin 57 is the headset microphone input. The input for this line can come directly from a headset
microphone. In order for the headset microphone to be active, the headset interrupt signal (pin 55) needs to be pulled low.
The maximum input to the g20 headset microphone before there is signal distortion in the network is 12 mvRMS.
Hands-free microphone: Pin 61 is the microphone input to the g20. When the headset interrupt signal is not pulled low,
this microphone will be active. The maximum input to the g20 microphone before there is signal distortion in the network is
32 mvRMS.
3.4.1.2 Analog Output
The g20 has a differential speaker output and an alert output:
Speaker output: When headset mode is used, the headset speaker should be connected to the SPKR_N signal of the g20.
When a differential amplifier is used, both lines should be connected. An 8-ohm speaker can be connected directly to the
speaker lines.
Alert: The g20 supports a direct connection for an alert transducer, in order to build a handset from the g20. All the sounds
that are transmitted to the alert can be routed to the speaker using the appropriate AT command.

Table 6 shows the SPKR_N output in headset mode for different network signal levels when the g20 is set to the maximum
volume level and the headset interrupt is pulled low.
The measurements shown in Table 6 apply in the following configuration:

3.4.1.3 Audio Circuit Design Considerations
In order to design an audio circuit that produces clear audio, without being affected by the GSM transmission, the following
guidelines should be considered when designing the circuit:
The audio input to the g20 should be referenced to the MIC_GND line of the g20.
The microphone bias of the g20 for both the microphone and headset is 2.2 V. If a microphone with a different voltage is
used, the bias should be as clean as possible, and referenced to MIC_GND. Because most GSM buzz (217Hz TDMA noise)
is generated from the microphone path, if a different bias is created, it should be filtered to supply DC only.
The MIC_GND and GND are connected inside the g20 and should not be connected to the application board.
Keep the lines of the microphone inputs as short as possible. To filter the lines from RF emission, 39pF capacitors can be
used.
The g20 GND should be connected on all four pins, with two mounting screws to the application ground.
If possible, the RF cable ground from the g20 should be connected to the GND of the g20.
The digital lines of the application should never be referenced to the MIC_GND.
3.4.2 Digital Audio Interface
The g20 digital audio interface is a full-duplex SAP (serial audio port) comprised of four signals:
PCM_FS: This pin is used for frame sync output provided by the g20.
PCM_CLK: This pin is used for the clock output provided by the g20.
PCM_DIN: This pin is the serial input to the g20 SAP.
PCM_DOUT: This pin is the serial output of the g20 SAP.

5487
6680
7980
98-08901C66-G 31
The following conditions apply to the digital audio interface of the g20:
The g20 SAP works in network mode, with four slots in each frame. Each slot consists of 16-bit data.
The g20 sends and receives data on the first slot only.
The frame sync rate is 8 KHz, and the clock rate is 512 KHz.
The g20 is the master in the SAP network. Therefore, the connected DSP should be configured as a slave.
Digital audio lines should be connected to Codex or DSP on the application side.
3.5 ANTENNA
The g20 has two models, one for North America Frequency bands (850/1900 MHz), and one for European Bands
(900/1800 MHz). The following connection requirements apply for the g20 antenna:
The g20 is terminated with an MMCX connector, and with 50-ohm impedance in the relevant frequencies.
The g20 can be connected to any antenna with 50-ohm impedance in the relevant frequency bands.
The g20 is designed to work on VSWR, up to 2:5:1 The antenna should meet this requirement.
3.5.1 Antenna Performance Recommendations
Table 12 lists the performance recommendations for the g20 antenna.
3.6 ESD PROTECTION
In general, the g20 does not include embedded ESD protection circuits. This type of protection should be implemented in the
customer application. Partial ESD protection is provided, as follows:
SIM lines are protected up to 3 KV with 6.8 V Zener Diodes.
VCC input is protected with a 2.2 uF capacitor.
Ignition input is protected with a 100 nF capacitor.

4.2 PIN ASSIGNMENTS
The g20 interface is provided via a 70-pin connector.
Table 13 describes the pin assignments for the g20 interface connector.
Note
g20 signals not used by the customer application must be left unconnected.
Do not apply external voltage on any of the g20 logic signals when the g20 is powered off.
The RESET_N output signal (pin 25) is tri-state when the g20 is powered off. It is recommended to place a 10K
pull-down resistor on this signal in the customer application to ensure proper logic-level transitions.

6.2 TESTING A STANDALONE UNIT
This section describes how to perform a functionality test on a g20 unit. The test is performed in order to:
Introduce the user to the g20
Explain how to work with the g20 unit
Describe how to evaluate basic g20 features
The test setup provides a wide platform through which a g20 unit can be evaluated. The specific test procedure described below
covers only few of the g20’s many features. Using this setup, you can perform several additional tests on the g20.
The test is performed using two modems, one of which is the g20. The modems communicate with each other through a single
computer, which also controls their operation.
The test requires knowledge about the operation of the g20 Developer’s Kit, terminal applications and AT commands. Refer to
relevant documentation for assistance.
To perform the test, you need the following:
A g20 OEM cellular engine unit
A g20 Developer's Kit
A desktop or laptop computer, which includes:
•· A free serial communications port (RS232)
•· A connected and active line modem (internal or external)
•· A terminal application (such as HyperTerminal)
46 98-08901C66-G
6.2.1 Test Setup
Follow the procedure below to set up your equipment before performing the test:
1. Verify that the computer you intend to use for the test is equipped with a working line modem.*
2. Set up the g20 and the Developer Board as described in the Initial Setup section of the g20 Developer’s Kit document by
doing the following:
Verify that the g20 has adequate reception from the local GSM network.
Connect the Developer Board’s RS232 port to the computer’s serial port.
3. Open a terminal application window (such as HyperTerminal) in the computer and configure it to operate with the serial
port occupied by the g20.
4. Open a second terminal window and configure it to operate with the serial port occupied by the line modem.
Figure 18. Test Setup
*You can use a second g20 unit instead of the line modem. When doing so, you must repeat the setup procedure for the additional g20.
6.2.2 Test Procedure
Follow the procedure below to perform the g20 test:
1. Verify that the g20 is functioning and communicating with the computer by performing the following AT commands in
the g20 terminal window:
ati7: This prompts g20 identification. The g20 will reply "G20 OEM Module".
ati8: This command prompts the g20 software version.
2. Verify that the line modem is functioning and communicating with the computer by entering the AT command "at" in the
modem’s terminal window. This common AT command prompts a properly working modem to reply "OK".
3. Make a CSD data call from the g20 to the line modem or vice versa using the "atdt" and "ata" commands in the appropriate
window.
4. Verify that a connection between the two modems is established.
5. Select any file to be transferred between the two modems. The file can be any existing file on the computer, or a new file
created specifically for the test.
6. Send the file through the terminal application, from the g20 or to it, using the terminal application’s send/receive file
options.
7. When the file transfer is completed, use the "ath" command in any of the terminal windows to terminate the call. This step
completes the test. You can now continue to perform additional tests using the same setup, or change the setup as required.
