3.5 GENERAL DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR UTILIZING
ENFORA GSM MODULES
The following guidelines are provided in an effort to allow Enabler III LPP module
users to successfully implement their PCB layout to obtain the best performance.
This includes the lowest possible EMI emissions, maximum thermal conduction,
mechanical integrity, and voice quality. The Enabler III LPP module is a very
compact, high performance design, yet it is easy to interface into the final product.
In order to realize its full potential, designers should pay close attention to ground
structures, the routing of RF and Digital traces, and the size of the power supply
lines.
Warning: These design tips are strictly guidelines and are not
meant to be a complete list of items that guarantee actual
performance. Each application is different and may require
variation from these guidelines; however, care should be given to
utilize these sound engineering principles whenever possible.
Enfora Enabler III LPP
Integration Guide Page 10 Revision: 0.00
3.5.1 ADVANCED TIPS FOR AN RF FRIENDLY LAYOUT
3.5.1.1 GROUND PLANE
To ensure the lowest possible EMI emissions and maximum thermal conductivity, it
is recommended that all metal tabs on the GSM module shield must be soldered
down onto a continuous ground plane that runs under the entire module. Ample
ground vias should be provided to create a low impedance ground. It is
recommended to minimize the number of I/O and power traces under the GSM
module to allow for as much ground plane as possible. An example of a good
ground structure and pad layout is shown below in Figure 1 - Example of good
ground plane for GSM modules.
Figure 1 - Example of good ground plane for GSM modules
Enfora Enabler III LPP
Integration Guide Page 11 Revision: 0.00
3.5.1.2 THERMAL RELIEF
Because the ground plane acts as a large heat sink, it can affect the solderability of
components. A common method to reduce this effect is to use thermal relief
around the pad in question. However, great care must be taken when using
thermal relief for high current or high frequency applications
For example, a large thermal relief like the one shown in Figure 2 can serve the
purpose for general applications such as low current, low speed data lines, DC
connections and audio frequency applications. However, such thermal relief
structures should be avoided for applications where high current and/or high
frequency is involved, such as those using the Enabler Module. Depending on the
frequency of operation, the long narrow thermal relief traces between the pad and
the ground plane act like an RF choke. These RF chokes become higher
impedance at harmonics of the fundamental frequency making it problematic for
high frequency suppression. This can make it difficult to pass type approval testing.
Figure 2 - Example of a POOR RF Thermal Relief
If thermal relief is necessary, it is recommended that you use short, fat traces similar
to those shown in Figure 3. This will still provide a solderable connection, while
providing a better RF connection. Making them shorter also allows for a more
continuous ground plane due to less copper being removed from the area. It is
also recommended to have ground vias around all thermal relief of critical ground
pins.
POOR RF thermal
Enfora Enabler III LPP
Integration Guide Page 12 Revision: 0.00
Figure 3 - Example of a GOOD RF Thermal Relief
3.5.1.3 ANTENNA AND RF SIGNAL TRACE
The PCB trace that feeds the RF output port must be designed for a 50 ohm
characteristic impedance, coplanar, or routed into internal layers to keep the top
layer continuous around and underneath the Enabler module. Ample ground vias
should be provided around the RF contacts, the RF trace and launch pad. If
possible, keep I/O and power traces away from the RF port. This includes traces
running parallel or orthogonal to it. Thermal relief should not be used on the
antenna output port ground pads. The designer must pay close attention to the
size of the pad and thickness of the dielectric beneath the signal pad and trace.
Most PCB manufacturers can adjust the trace width to maintain 50 ohms
impedance if the traces are identified and instructions are included on the FAB
drawing. This service is typically provided at no or minimal additional cost.
For minimum RF emissions due to the fundamental frequency of operation, the
Enabler module works best with an antenna load that has a VSWR of 1.5:1 or
better. The antenna should not have gain at the harmonic frequencies, otherwise,
the conducted harmonics could get amplified to a point where the product no
longer passes type approval. However, for applications where antenna quality is
less than ideal, it is recommended to have a low pass filter (Pi structure with N=3) in
the RF path to the antenna. This is a secondary plan should there be a need to
lower harmonic levels at frequencies above the PCS band. The pad structure may
also be used to match the antenna load impedance, if required. If it is not needed,
a capacitor of low reactance may be used to bridge the Pi structure.
GOOD RF thermal
Enfora Enabler III LPP
Integration Guide Page 13 Revision: 0.00
The RF cable going between the Enable module and the antenna is very lossy,
therefore, the length of this cable should be kept as short as possible.
3.5.1.4 VBAT INPUT
The Enabler Vbat input can have a relative high current draw that can fluctuate
rapidly, especially when transmitting at max power and burst mode. The Vbat
interface must be designed to provide the required instantaneous voltage and
current with minimal voltage droop. This includes both sufficient bulk decoupling
capacitance as well as adequate layout provisions.
Similar to the discussion on thermal relief, the use of narrow traces to connect the
Vbat pins to the source voltage can act like a high impedance and cause a
significant voltage droop when higher currents are required as shown in Figure 4. If
the Vbat drops too low, the Enabler modules will reset. To minimize the trace loss,
it is suggested to use a larger trace that spans several pins. The layout should
provide sufficient trace width over the entire trace from the Enabler module all the
way to the source of the Vbat voltage. Any transitions between layers for this trace
should utilize multiple vias.
Figure 4 - Example of Vbat Voltage Droop
Two 470 uF, low ESR, tantalum capacitors are included in the design to provide
decoupling of Vbat input voltage. Bulk decoupling capacitance is not required at
the Vbat input external to the Enabler module.

5.3 CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Other than very low level ESD protection within the module’s integrated circuits, the
module does not have any protection against ESD events or other excursions that
exceed the specified operating parameters.
Generally, ESD protection (typically TVS/Transorb devices) should be added to all
signals that leave the host board. This includes VBAT/VCC.
Series resistors (typically 47Ω) can also be added in series with data lines to limit
the peak current during a voltage excursion.
Warning: Do not add series resistance to the SIM electrical.

5.4 CONTROL CONNECTOR SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
AND FUNCTIONS
Note: The following descriptions are intended to provide
hardware-level definitions. In some
cases, specific lines will
have no firmware functionality implemented. Information for
each hardware-specific feature will be noted in the appropriate
section.
5.4.1 MODULE POWER (PINS 30, 31)
The Enfora Enabler III LPP module uses a single voltage source of VCC=+3.3V to
4.5V. (The exact values of the uplink currents are shown in the tables in section
5.3.1.)
VBAT
Parameter/Conditions
Min
Typ
Max
Units
Main Battery Supply Voltage In Regulation 3.3 4.5 Vdc
Warning: The uplink burst will cause strong ripple on the voltage lines
and should be effectively filtered.
External capacitance is not typically required by low current or extended
life applications. However, if capacitance is added, then current leakage
of the capacitor needs to be taken into consideration for these types of
applications.
It should be noted that the input voltage level should not drop below the
minimum voltage rating under any circumstances, especially during the
uplink burst period.
Enfora Enabler III LPP
Integration Guide Page 24 Revision: 0.00
5.4.2 ON/OFF SIGNAL (PIN 4)
The module may be set into a low power ‘off’ mode by pulling the pin low for a
minimum of 3 seconds. This will shut down any active functions including GPS and
GSM, and stop the MSP430 processor. This is the lowest power mode of the
module, it can be ideally used when storing or shipping units and the controller is
not to be enabled.
Once the module is in the ‘off’ state, it can be turned ‘on’ by holding the pin low for
a minimum of 3 seconds. This will start the MSP430 processor, once booted the
controller will be enabled and run as per the saved settings.
The module will normally start in the ‘on’ state and enable the controller logic when
power is applied.
5.4.3 ON/OFF STATUS (PIN 5)
When the On/Off pin is used to put the module into an ‘off’ state or to turn it ‘on’,
the status pin will indicate when it has successfully entered either state.
When turning off the unit, the status signal is set high after the On/Off signal is
sufficiently held low (3 seconds). The status signal is held high for 3 seconds but
can stay enabled if the system is waiting for the modem to shut down.
When turning on the unit, the on/off status signal will blink 12 times within a 3
second period if the battery voltage is in its highest range. If the battery is within its
normal voltage range, the on/off status signal will blink on for one second, off for
one second, then on for one second. The on/off status signal will then go off. When
the signal is off, the unit is activated.
5.4.4 GENERAL PURPOSE INPUT SIGNALS (PINS 10, 11)
Two signals are available for input signals which can be controlled via user
configuration of the modem software. The voltage level of the signal must be in
reference to the selected VIO voltage (Pin 33).
5.4.5 GENERAL PURPOSE OUTPUT SIGNALS (PINS 12, 13)
Two signals are available for output signals which can be controlled via user
configuration of the modem software. Commands are provided to change the state
of the output signals. The voltage level of the signal must be in reference to the
selected VIO voltage (Pin 33).
5.4.6 RESET SIGNAL (PIN 24)
The Reset signal is used to force the micro-controller to start at a known state.
When the Reset is pulled low the micro-controller will immediately suspend any
function and will not exit the reset state until the reset signal is released to be pulled
Enfora Enabler III LPP
Integration Guide Page 25 Revision: 0.00
high. Once the transition from low to high is complete, the micro-controller will
boot. The Reset signal is falling edge triggered, so the reset function is set
immediately when the signal is pulled low.
When using Reset, it will immediately lose the connection to the GSM network, this
is not considered ideal. Typically during a normal shutdown, the module will issue a
detach request to the network to indicate that it is being removed.

5.5 SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE (SIM) (PINS 42, 43,
44, 45, 46)
The SIM, an integral part of any GSM terminal device, is a “smart card” that is
programmed with subscriber information:
• The user information consists of an International Mobile Subscriber Identity
(IMSI) number, which is registered with the GSM provider, and an encryption Ki
(pronounced "key"). This information consists of a MSP430 processor and
memory installed on a plastic card.
Note: The SIM is not provided with the Enfora Enabler III LPP
module.
The SIM must be obtained from the GSM service provider and must
be provisioned by the operator for data and/or voice. Always take
care to protect the SIM: the GSM terminal will not operate without the
SIM installed.
The SIM provides the IMSI for authentication. To gain access to the GSM network,
the network must recognize the IMSI number, and the terminal must be able to
properly decrypt the data sent by the network. The SIM also serves as a buffer for
SMS messages, storing the message for transmission until a radio link is available
and buffering received messages until retrieved.
5.5.1 USING A REMOTE SIM WITH THE ENFORA ENABLER III LPP MODULE
(PINS 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
The Enabler III LPP module does not include an on-board SIM carrier.
The module supports the use of 1.8 V and 3 V SIM cards. The module includes a
hardware interface module dedicated to Universal Subscriber Identity Module
(USIM). All baud-rates defined in ISO 7816-3 standard are supported for high-
speed transmission.
• The integrator must provide a suitable SIM connector.
• The maximum distance from the module to the remote SIM connector must not
exceed 25.4 cm (10 inches).
• It is recommended to have Zero resistance between the SIM connector and the
module.
• External ESD Protection is Required

The module provides the regulated supply voltage for the SIM-card and the circuitry
to detect the insertion or extraction of the SIM-Card in or from the mobile.
The SIMDTC is disabled by default (see AT$SIMDTC in the AT Command Manual
for settings). When enabled, the SIMDTC pin has an internal pull up to Vcc and can
Enfora Enabler III LPP
Integration Guide Page 31 Revision: 0.00
be configured to detect a SIM insertion when the SIMDTC is either pulled to ground
or left floating.
It can configured to detect either just a SIM removal or both removal and insertion.
When the module detects a SIM removal, it will de-register from the network.
When the module is configured to and detects a SIM insertion, it will reset the
module and re-register on the network.
The SIM-card presence detection logic is active when the GSM modem is on and is
checked each time the GSM modem is powered up.

5.6 ANTENNA
The LPP0208 module has two RF antenna connections. One connection is for the
GSM section of the module and the other for GPS. Please be sure to follow proper
RF design practices when designing the antennas.
5.6.1 GSM
A GSM antenna should be designed from proper RF design practices.
5.6.2 GPS
The GPS_ANT is the RF connection from the GPS antenna; no external LNA is
required. The LPP0208 can support both passive and active GPS antenna.
However, external power supply and circuitry is required for an active GPS antenna.
See Figure 12 - GPS Antenna Sample Schematic
Figure 8 - GPS Antenna Sample Schematic
Active antenna is enabled by placing a jumper on J403 in the sample schematic
between pins 1 and 2.
Passive antenna is enabled by placing a jumper on J403 in the sample schematic
between pins 2 and 3.

• Notifying the network when the module has sufficient memory capacity available
to receive one or more SMS messages (after the module had previously rejected
a message because its memory capacity was exceeded)
7.4 SIM OPERATION
7.4.1 PROVISIONING THE SIM
The SIM can support optional features or services. Most operators typically
configure the SIM to send/receive voice calls and to receive SMS; however, some
may require an additional tariff to enable the SIM to send SMS. The transmission of
circuit switched and GPRS data are also additional services that may be required to
allow the service:
• Mobile-originated (MO): allows making a service request (such as, making a call
or sending an SMS)
• Mobile-terminated (MT): allows receiving a service request (such as, receiving a
phone call or an SMS)
• The GSM SIM can have multiple telephone numbers.
It is imperative for the Enfora Enabler III LPP module that the SIM be configured for
the optional services that are required for the application.

The application sends commands to the Enfora Enabler III LPP module via the 52-
pin I/O signal connector. These commands use the Enabler III LPP Menu System,
Enfora AT Command Set and/or Enfora GSM-GPRS Family API.
The Enfora Enabler III LPP module operates in one of the following modes:
• Command Menu mode: Used for configuring the Enfora Enabler III LPP
module. It uses menu based commands via the serial port for communication.
See LPP0208PR001 - Enfora Enabler III LPP Programming Reference for more
details on specific commands.
• Modem Pass-Thru mode: Used to communicate directly with the modem. It
uses the AT command set via the serial port for communication. Entry to this
mode is available via a menu mode command.
• AT Command via USB: The USB port may be used to send AT commands
directly to the GSM modem. This method should be used for configuration
purposes, not normal usage. The GSM modem remains powered on as long as
the USB port is connected.
8.1 FORMAT FOR THE AT COMMANDS
The general format of the command line is: <prefix> <command> <CR>
