To avoid short circuits, it is recommended to cover the application PCB with a silkscreen block at the area under the module, but excluding soldering area.

VBAT PWR Main Power Supply 3.5V~4.3V(typical 3.9V) 6.1.1 Power Supply Basic Design Rules VBAT is the main power supply for internal base band and radio PA of the module, in a range of 3.5V-4.3V.    A 3.9V voltage is preferable.    The performance of power supply issued, is a critical path to module’s performance and stability. The GSM bursts can cause current peaks up to 1.8A, therefore large bypass capacitors are expected to reduce voltage drops during the bursts. The biggest current occurs when the received signal is very  low.    It’s  very  important  to  ensure  that  the  voltage  of  supply  rail  never  drops  below  3.5V while any burst occurs.  Figure 4 shows how the GSM bursts and voltage drops. Figure 5 shows how the capacitor helps to improve peak current performance.
                       Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd.                                                                                  Page 12 of 32  Figure 4 Burst Caused Current Peaks and Voltage Drops   Figure 5 Test Circuit and Peak Current  Results may vary depending on the ESR of capacitors, and the impedance of power source.  A low ESR 1000uF aluminum capacitor for C1 can be selected. As an alternative, a 470uF tantalum  capacitor is  also suited.  In case  of Li-Ion cell  battery used,  220uF  or even  100uF tantalum capacitor may be applicable because of the battery’s low internal impedance and the ability to provide high transient current.    Use a low impedance power source, and keep the resistance of the power supply lines as low as possible.
                       Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd.                                                                                  Page 13 of 32  The power source should be able to output an average current greater than 1A.  Some small capacitors, with values of 0.1uF, 100pF, 33pF, placed close to the module’s power pin, are very helpful to suppress high frequency disturbances.    The voltage range of power supply must never be exceeded. Over-voltage can even destroy the module permanently.  Ensure  the trace  for  VBAT  to be  wide  enough,  in  order to  pass  the  current  peaks  without significant voltage drops. The width of 2mm is preferable.    6.1.2 Extended Design Rules for Power Supply 6.1.2.1 Power Control A  controlled  power  supply  is  preferable  if  used  in  harsh  conditions.  RESET  pin  may  be  not functioning under strong disturbance. The output enable pin  of LDO or  DC/DC chipset could be used for emergency power control of the module, as shown in Figure 6.  Figure 6 Using LDO’s enable pin for emergency power control The alternative way is to use a P-MOSFET to control the module’s power, as shown in Figure 7. The GPRS_EN signal is routed to host GPIO, controlling the ON/OFF of the P-MOSFET. The host can cut off and then switch on the power supply in case of abnormal conditions, such as no response from the module or the disconnection of GPRS.
                       Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd.                                                                                  Page 14 of 32  Figure 7 Using PMOS for power control Q2 is for eliminating the need for a high enough voltage level of the host GPIO. In case that the GPIO can output a high voltage greater than VDD3V9 - |VGS(th)|, where VGS(th) is the Gate Threshold Voltage, Q2 is not needed.   Reference components: Q1: IRML6401 Q2: MMBT3904 C4: 470uF tantalum capacitor rated at 6.3V; or 1000uF aluminum capacitor.    It’s strongly recommended to place a TVS diode on VBAT to ground, in order to absorb the power surges subjected. The SMAJ5.0A from Vishay can be as a choice.  6.1.2.2 Power Separating   As described in section 6.1.1, the GSM  device works in burst mode generating voltage drops on power supply. And furthermore this results in a 217Hz TDD noise through power (One of the way generating noise. Another way is through RF radiation). Analog parts, especially the audio circuits, are subjected to this noise, known as a “buzz noise” in GSM systems. To prevent other parts from being  affected,  it’s  better  to  use  separated  power  supplies.  The  module  shall  be  supplied  by  an independent power, like a DC/DC or LDO.   The  inductor  used  in  Reference  Design  (b),  should  be  a  power  inductor  and  have  a  very  low
                       Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd.                                                                                  Page 15 of 32 resistance.  The  value  of  10uH,  with  average  current  ability>1.2A  and  low  DC  resistance,  is recommended.  Figure 8 Using separated power supply for module  Never  use  a  diode  to  make  the  drop  voltage  between  a  higher  input  and  module  power.  It  will obviously decrease the  module performances, or result in unexpected restarts, due to the forward voltage of diode will vary greatly in different temperature and current.  6.1.2.3 EMC Considerations for Power Supply Place transient overvoltage protection components like TVS diode on power supply, to absorb the power surges. SMAJ5.0A could be a choice.    6.1.2.4 Power-on Sequence Prior to turning on the module, turn on the host MCU and finish the UART initialization. Otherwise conflictions may occur during initialization, due to unstable conditions.    6.2  ON/OFF Procedure ON/OFF is a low level pulse active input, used to turn on or off the module.
                       Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd.                                                                                  Page 16 of 32  Figure 9 Turning on /off the module using ON/OFF  6.2.1 Turning on the module While  the  module  is  off,  drive  the  ON/OFF  pin  to  ground  for  at  least  600mS  (800mS  is recommended) and then release, the module will start. An unsolicited message will be sent to host through AT port (“+EIND: 1”), indicating the powering up of the module and the AT commands can respond.   It’s  recommended  to  drive  the  ON/OFF  to  low  before  applying  the  VBAT  to  module.  300mS (400mS is recommended) later from the VBAT applied, release the ON/OFF. Therefore the module starts up. The simplest way to power on the module, is to directly tie the ON/OFF to ground, issuing to an auto-power-on feature.   After the module is operating, keep ON/OFF being high level. 6.2.2 Turning off the module While the module is on, drive the ON/OFF pin to ground for at least 500mS and then release, the module  will  try  to  detach  to  network  and  normally  1  second  later  it  will  shut  down.  Another approach to turn off the module is with AT command. Figure 10 shows a reference circuits for ON/OFF control with inverted control logic.
                       Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd.                                                                                  Page 17 of 32  Figure 10 Reference circuit for ON/OFF control Reference Components: Q1: MMBT3904, or to use digital transistor with bias resistors built in, like DTC123/114 The combination of R3 and R4, should limit the high voltage of ON/OFF less than 3.0V. Note:  If the host itself is not initialized before turning on the module, some abnormal conditions on IO or UART may affect the power on procedure.  The better way to rescue the module from abnormal condition, is to apply a power OFF-ON procedure,  rather  than  using  the  ON/OFF  control  signal.  In  fact  ON/OFF  signal  is software-dependent. 6.2.3 RESET Pull  the  RESET  signal  to  low  level  for  at  least  60mS  to  reset  the  module.  A  pull-up  resistor  is internally included. Reset pin can be left open if not used.   6.2.4 VCCIO VCCIO is provided to power the level translators, with a 2.8V / 5mA output.   VCCIO can also be used to monitor the on/off state of module. It outputs 2.8V high level while the module is on, and low level while the module is off.

Supported baud rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400bps, and the default is 115200.   Figure 11 Connection between DCE (module) and DTE  The UART of M660 works at 2.8V CMOS logic level. The voltages for input high level should not exceed 3.0V.    6.3.2 Level Translators for UART If the UART is interfacing with a MCU that has 3.3V logic levels, resistors should be connected in series with the signals.
                       Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd.                                                                                  Page 19 of 32  Figure 12 Interfacing with 3.3V logic levels of MCU  If  the  UART  is  interfacing  with  a  MCU  that  has  5V  logic  levels,  general  level  translators  are required, for both inputs and outputs. As shown in Figure 13.    Figure 13 Interfacing with 5V logic levels of MCU Reference components: R2: 2K-10K. The higher rate the UART works at, the smaller value used R3: 4.7K-10K. The higher rate the UART works at, the smaller value used Q1: MMBT3904 or MMBT2222. High-speed transistors preferred.  Used for 5V logic -> 2.8V logic:   While this circuit used between MCU TXD and module URXD1, the INPUT signal is connected to MCU  TXD,  and  OUTPUT  connected  to  module  URXD1.  VCC_IN  powered  from  5V  and VCC_OUT  powered  from  2.8V  (module’s  VCCIO  can  be  used).  This  applies  to  DTR  control  as well.  Used for 2.8V logic -> 5V logic: It can be used between module UTXD1 and MCU RXD as well, with INPUT connected to module UTXD1, and OUTPUT connected to MCU RXD. VCC_IN powered from 2.8V (module’s VCCIO) and VCC_OUT powered from 5V.    This applies to RING signal as well.

Page 20 of 32  Note: Avoid sparks and glitches on UART signals while the module is in a turning on procedure.   Avoid sending any data to UART during the beginning of 2 seconds after the module being turned on.   6.4   Sleep mode 6.4.1   DTR Generally DTR is used for sleep mode control. For details, see AT commands manual. Based on the setting of the  selected mode, pulling DTR low  will  bring the module into  relevant  power  saving mode. Working in this mode, the power consumption is around 2mA, depending on the DRX setting of network. In sleep mode, the module can also respond to the incoming call, SMS, and GPRS data. The host MCU can also control the module to exit sleep mode by controlling DTR.    The controlling of sleep mode: 1) Keep DTR high in normal working mode. Activate the sleep mode by using the AT command AT+ENPWRSAVE=1. 2) Pull  DTR  low,  the  module  will  enter  sleep  mode,  but  only  after  process  and  pending  data finished.   3) UART is not available in sleep mode.   4) In sleep mode, the module can be woken up by the events of incoming voice call, received data, or SMS. Meanwhile the module will send out the unsolicited messages by the interface of RING or UART.   Upon receipt of the unsolicited messages, the host MCU should pull DTR high firstly, otherwise the module will resume sleep mode shortly. And then the host MCU can process the voice call, received data, or SMS. After processing is finished, pull DTR low again to put the module into sleep mode.
                       Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd.                                                                                  Page 21 of 32 5) Pull  DTR  high,  the  module  will  exit  from  sleep  mode  actively,  and  furthermore  enable  the UART.  Thus  the  voice  call,  received  data,  or  SMS  can  be  processed  through  UART.  After processing finished pull it low again, to take the module back to sleep mode.  6.4.2 RING 1) Once the incoming  voice call, the module sends  out “ring”  message through UART and meanwhile outputs 250mS low pulses at 4S period on RING signal. See Figure 14.  Figure 14 RING indicator for incoming call 2) Upon receipt of SMS, the module outputs one 600mS low pulse. See Figure 15.

ESD  protectors,  such  as  ESD  diodes  or  ESD  Varistors,  are  recommended  on  the  SIM  signals, especially  in  automotive  electronics  or  other  applications  with  badly  ESD.  The  total  equivalent capacitance on any SIM signal, include the junction capacitance of the ESD diode and the distributed capacitance of PCB trace, can’t be higher than 120pF.   If  the  SIM  card  is  installed  in  a  closed  case  without  human  touch  or  ESD,  22~33pF  MLCC capacitors can replace the ESD diodes for cost down. SIM card is sensitive to GSM TDD noise and RF interference. So, the rule is very important in the PCB design, listed as the following.

Page 23 of 32  The antenna should be installed a long distance away from the SIM card and SIM card traces, especially to the build-in antenna.  The PCB traces of SIM should be as short as possible and shielded with GND copper.  The ESD diodes or small capacitors should be closed to SIM card.  Note: Small capacitors and the junction capacitance of the ESD diode are to avoid the interference from/to antenna, ensuring the correct SIM access and good RF performance.    6.6   Running LED Indicator Table6 Running Indicator Signal I/O Function Note BACK_LIGHT DO Running Status Can drive a LED directly The various blink behaviors of LED indicate different of module status.   It can output a 4mA current and 2.8V voltage, therefore a LED can be directly connected to this pin with a resistor in series. For better luminance, drive the LED with a transistor instead, see Figure 17.  Figure 17 LED Indicator

The peak-peak voltage routed to MIC+/MIC- should not exceed 200mV.    AGC circuit is integrated inside the module. Electret microphone is suited.  Figure 18 Reference design of microphone interface  A bias voltage for microphone is provided through MICP and MICN, as shown in Figure 19. But if an  amplifier  is used  between the  microphone  and  module,  capacitors like  C1  and  C2, should  be placed between the outputs of amplifier and module, to block the bias voltage. For a peak-peak voltage greater than 200mV, an attenuation circuit comprised of R1-R4 should be used.

A  16Ω/32Ω  earpiece  can  be  directly driven by the module. To pass the low frequency audio, use large capacitors for C1 and C2. If an external amplifier is used for driving the speakers, 1uF~4.7uF coupling capacitors should be used to block the DC voltage, as shown in Figure 21.

Page 26 of 32  Figure 21 Using capacitors to couple audio outputs As  the  description  of  TDD  noise  before,  the  GSM  radio  frequency  is  modulated  at  217Hz.  The 217Hz and its derivative frequency is well within audio band, therefore a TDD noise often affect the audio performance through power and air. Some small capacitors between 27pF-100pF and ferrite beads, placed on the audio path can attenuate TDD noise. For Suppressing the TDD noise, differential audio interface is preferable. The PCB trace of audio signal should be routed as differential line.   In particular, the microphone interface is a pair of small signal, peak-peak voltage <200mV, must comply the rule of differential line. The microphone interface should be routed as short as possible.  6.8   Antenna Interface A  50Ω  antenna  is  required.  VSWR  <  1.5.  The  antenna  should  be  well  matched  to  achieve  best performance. It should be installed far away from high speed logic circuits, DC/DC power, or any other strong disturbing sources.   ESD protection is built in module. For special ESD protection, a ESD diode can be placed close to the antenna. But ensure to use a low junction capacitance one. The junction capacitance should be less  than  0.5pF,  otherwise  the  RF  signal  will  be  attenuated.  RCLAMP0521P  from  Semtech,  or ESD5V3U1U from Infineon, can be used here. See Figure 22. The  trace  between  the  antenna  pad  of  module  and  the  antenna  connector,  should  have  a  50Ω characteristic  impedance,  and  be as  short  as possible. The trace should  be surrounded  by  ground copper. Place plenty of via holes to connect this ground copper to main ground plane, at the copper edge.

Page 27 of 32 If the trace between the module and connector has to be longer, or built-in antenna is used, a π-type matching circuit should be needed, as shown in Figure 22. The types and values of C1, L1, and L2 should be verified by testing using network analyzer instrument. If the characteristic impedance is well  matched,  and  VSWR  requirement  is  met,  just  use  a  0Ω  resistor  for  C1  and  leave  L1,  L2 un-installed.   Avoid any other traces crossing the antenna trace on neighboring layer.  Figure 22 Reference design for antenna interface  Figure 23 Reference parameters for 50Ω trace on a 1.6mm double layer PCB

Page 28 of 32  Figure 24 Reference layout for antenna interface  7. Mounting the Module onto the Application Board M660 is compatible with industrial standard reflow profile for lead-free SMT process.   The  reflow  profile  is  process  dependent,  so  the  following  recommendation  is  just  a  start  point guideline:  Only one flow is supported.  Quality of the solder joint depends on the solder volume. Minimum of 0.15mm stencil thickness is recommended.      Use bigger aperture size of the stencil than actual pad size.    Use a low-residue, no-clean type solder paste.   This  GND  Pad should  be  well routed to ground Antenna  pad should  be surrounded by ground Antenna  trace should  be  surrounded  by ground  which  is  connected  to  main ground  plane  with  plenty  of  via  holes. The trace width and the space to ground should be decided by calculating of 50Ω impedance match.

Package M660 modules are packaged in sealed bags on delivery to guarantee a long shelf life. Package the modules again in case of opening for any reasons.   If  exposed  in  air  for  more  than  48  hours  at  conditions  not  worse  than  30°C/60%  RH,  a  baking procedure should be done before SMT. Or, if the indication card shows humidity greater than 20%, the baking procedure is also required. The baking should last for at least 24 hours at 90℃.  9.
