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.

As a DCE device, the module is connected to DTE as shown in Figure 11.
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.
Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd. 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.

Figure 16b a sample of SIM card socket
Figure 16c the recommended ESD diode array
M660 SIM interface is 3V/1.8V compatible. VSIM is for SIM power and can supply a 30mA
current.
SIM_DATA is internally pulled up with a 5KΩ resistor. External pull-up resistor is not needed.
SIM_CLK can work at several frequencies, but at 3.25MHz typically.
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.
Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd. 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.

For reference audio interface see Figure 18. 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.
Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd. Page 25 of 32
Figure 19 Reference design for MIC interface
Figure 20 Reference design for Ear interface
Figure 20 shows a reference design for earpiece interface. 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.
Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd. 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.
Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd. 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.

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.
Shenzhen Neoway Technology Co., Ltd. Page 29 of 32
8. 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℃.
