· Table 1: PCIExpress Mini Card pinout
Remark: Increased electrical power and ground
Initial design reviews show that the current requirements exceed the limits set by the older
versions of the PCI Express Mini Card standard v. 1.1. In order to reduce impedances
additional pins are needed for power and grounding. Pins are required for supporting the
current 1.1A / 2.75A (average / peak) instead of 750mA / 1A. In the new version of the
standard, additional supply and grounding pins have been defined for this reason. Those pins
are pin 39/41 for additional 3.3V, and 37/43 for additional GND connections

3.3 UICC interface guidelines
3.3.1 Introduction
This section describes how to design the UICC (USIM)-card interface for connection with the
GTM.
The baseband processor has an integrated UICC interface compatible with the ISO7816 IC
card standard. This is wired to the PCIExpress Mini Card connector (PCIE connector) in
order to be connected to an external UICC card holder (see Figure 5: (U)SIM pin assignment).
Five pins on the PCIE connector are reserved for the (U)SIM interface (pins 8,10,12, 14 and
15 - see Table 1 and Table 3).
The (U)SIM interface of a GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA module needs some special
requirements. The (U)SIM card is connected with the digital part of the module. An RF
interference signal picked-up by the (U)SIM card reader can disturb normal operation of the
module and result in unexpected errors.
The (U)SIM card is accessible by the customer. In many cases an efficient RF-shielding of the
(U)SIM card is not possible. However, with some precautions problems caused by
interference signals picked up by the (U)SIM card can be significantly reduced.
3.3.2 UICC Interface
3.3.2.1 UICC Card Holder
The UICC Card interface has got 6 contacts. Officially according to 3GPP there are 8 pads,
so you will find eight (8) pads on the PCB-Layout picture (Figure 4) and in the specification
of the PCI Express Mini Card, numbered from C1 to C8. Contacting elements in positions C4
and C8 are not used. They shall present high impedance to the UICC. Figure 5 and Table 3
show the pin assignment of a UICC card.
However as a way of an example “how to connect” the company JAE has introduced
(http://www.jae-connector.com/) 6 pins UICC connectors. These are numbered JAE-1
through JAE-6. For convenience the JAE numbering is added on the PCB-Layout picture
(Figure 4).
All the active circuitry is placed on the GTM. Only passives should be further applied.

are barely used nowadays.
Note that the GTM does not have a UICC card holder. The UICC signals are connected with
the “PCI Express MiniCard” connector (the edge connector).

3.3.3 Electrical specifications of the UICC – Terminal interface
This section is an excerpt from the standards, but it is very important that the integrator takes
care in the design phase to comply to these specifications, since they are essential to the final
certification of the integrated module (also see chapter 8 on certification).

3.3.3.1 Contact activation and deactivation
The Terminal shall connect, activate and deactivate the UICC in accordance with the
Operating Procedures specified in ISO/IEC 7816-3 [12].
For any voltage level, monitored during the activation sequence, or during the deactivation
sequence following normal power-down, the order of the contact activation/deactivation shall
be respected.
It is recommended that whenever possible, the deactivation sequence defined in
ISO/IEC 7816-3 [12] should be followed by the Terminal on all occasions when the Terminal
is powered down.
If the UICC clock is already stopped and is not restarted, the Terminal may deactivate all the
contacts in any order, provided that all signals reach low level before Vcc leaves high level. If
the UICC clock is already stopped and is restarted before the deactivation sequence, then the
deactivation sequence specified in ISO/IEC 7816-3 [12] sub clause 5.4 shall be followed.
3.3.3.2 Inactive contacts
The voltages on contacts C1, C2, C3, C6 and C7 of the Terminal shall be in the range 0 ± 0,4
volts referenced to ground (C5) when the Terminal is switched off with the power source
connected to the Terminal. The measurement equipment shall have a resistance of 50 kohms
when measuring the voltage on C2, C3, C6 and C7. The resistance shall be 10 kohms when
measuring the voltage on C1.
3.3.3.3 Contact pressure
The contact pressure shall be large enough to ensure reliable and continuous contact (e.g. to
overcome oxidisation and to prevent interruption caused by vibration). The radius of any
curvature of the contacting elements shall be greater than or equal to 0,8 mm over the contact
area.
Under no circumstances shall the contact force exceed 0,5 N per contact.
Care shall be taken to avoid undue point pressure to the area of the UICC opposite to the
contact area. Such pressure is potentially damaging to the components within the UICC.

Power Consumption of the UICC during ATR
The maximum power consumption of the UICC during ATR is specified in Table 5
and Table 6. The UICC power consumption during the ATR shall conform to the
voltage class indicated in the ATR. If the UICC supports several supply voltage
classes, each class shall conform to the corresponding maximum ATR power
consumption, as specified in Table 5 and Table 6. This is required because the
terminal is not aware of the power consumption of the UICC until the ATR is
received and an application is selected.

3.3.4 Electrical interface
The (U)SIM card holder is connected with the module by means of long wires. The (U)SIM
card holder and wires are radiated on with different types of noisy signals, e.g. the radiation
signals of the module antenna. The SIM interface signals conduct this noise into the module
and radiate these signals into the module, with potential disasterous results.
This phenomenon can be significantly reduced by following design rules for EMC
interference minimisation:
1. Place noise suppression capacitors on the SIM card holder.
2. Route the SIM card holder signals carefully in relation to other signalling lines and
potential noise generation sources.
3. Limit the line length: a maximum length of 200mm is advised.
3.3.4.1 Noise suppression capacitors
On the module suppression capacitor are placed on the signals RTS, CLK and I/O. The value
of these suppression capacitors equals 17pF each.
Although the module foresees suppression capacitors it is important to place suppression on
the contacts of the SIM card holder. The value of these suppression capacitors must be equal
to 10pF. It is important to place the capacitors as short as possible to the SIM card reader.
Every mm PCB track (or FFC signalling line) counts. The size of the capacitor also matters. It
is advisable to use 0402 type capacitors.
Figure 9 shows the impedance graph of a 10pF capacitor.

3.3.4.2 Maximum Trace Length
The maximum trace length depends on the trace capacitance, but on average it is advisable to
limit the length to a maximum of 200mm.
The module controls the signals RST and CLK. A totem-pole output drives these signals high
or low. The signal I/O is a bi-directional data line. The I/O interface is shown in Figure 10.
The module and the (U)SIM (in the SIM card holder), located on both ends of the lines,
control this data line. Either the module or the (U)SIM can pull this line low, through an
open-collector. The line is pulled-up by a resistor of 12k.
Figure 10: I/O interface
During certification of the module the SIM interface is tested. A SIM card is simulated by the
test equipment. The test conditions are shown in Table 15 and Table 16. The test equipment
loads the I/O line with 30pF.

The maximum rise-time of I/O equals 1µs. This result in a maximum capacitive load of 70pF
on the I/O line. The maximum capacitance is the sum of all capacitors:
Suppression capacitor on GTM, typical 17pF
SIM driver logic on GTM, typical 5pF
Suppression capacitor on SIM card holder, 10pF.
Test equipment, maximum 30pF load.
Connectors
The sum of al these capacitors, without the trace capacitance, equals 62pF. The trace
capacitance is 70pF minus all other capacitance. The maximum trace capacitance equals 70 –
62 = 8pF. This capacitance typically gives lead to a maximum length of 200mm in the worst
case.

3.3.5 Practical implementation
The (U)SIM signals on the GTM are connected to the PCI Express MiniCard edge connector.
The method of routing the signals to the SIM card holder depends on which connecter is
used.
Note that only one of the two connectors can be used at once, the other needs to be left
floating.
3.3.5.1 PCI Express MiniCard edge connector Signal Routing
When using this connector the SIM signals are routed throughout the PCB. In this
environment it is possible to shield the signals in an efficient way. An example of possible
PCB stackup is shown in Figure 11: PCB Stackup.
Figure 11: PCB Stackup
Note: Ground vias are placed every 2 – 3 mm along the signal traces.

3.3.5.2 FH19 Signal Routing
The connection between the GTM and UICC cardholder is made by an FFC (flexible flat
cable). Shielding in this environment is much more problematic. In many cases the signals are
not shielded at all. However, the ground wires between every active signal grants certain
immunity against noise.
However an additional PCB board should be designed to host cardholder and some
decoupling capacitors.. The 8-contacts connector from Hirose’s FH19 Series is the same as on
the GTM module. Keep in mind the flat cable has a symmetrical usage.
Figures below show an example for an UICC card holder PCB board and interface. The
schematic and a layout are shown in these pictures.

3.4.1.1 Mechanical form factor for data and voice module
PRELIMINARY PINOUT :
The PCM interface (for voice) will be set on pin 45, 47, 49 and 51 of the PCIe
Express MiniCEM IO interface.
There are 4 pins defined PCM_CLK, for uplink voice PCM_UPLINK,
downlink voice PCM_DOWNLINK and PCM_SYNC. The PCM_CLK and
PCM_SYNC are generated by the module and therefore it act as MASTER.
The CODEC port supports 2.048MHz PCM clock and 8KHz sync timing for
linear, companded (A-law and µ-law) CODEC’s that match the sync timing.
3.4.2 Interfaces, Features & Functions
3.4.2.1 Telephony features
It is possible to originate and terminate calls via AT commands.
The module drives the PCM clock and sync (MASTER). When the module
goes to sleep, clock is lost and the PCM interface becomes inactive. Leaving
the PCM interface active on at all times would force standby time to be close
to talk time.
The AT-commands ATD and ATA will connect the PCM interface and makes
the PCM_DOWNLINK data-pin active by reversing the pin’s tri-state. The
ATH command disconnects the remote user: all calls are released (active, on-
hold and waiting calls).
3.4.2.1.1 PCM/Audio interface
The module has a PCM interface for a direct connection to an external
SLAC/SLIC that provides a single POTS port.
A 16-bit linear or 8-bit A-law or µ-law with padding can be selected for the
primary PCM interface. (See AT commands doc subsection ‘Voice’)
For all three, the format of the 16 bits on the PCM_UPLINK hardware line is
0xSDDD DDDD DDDD DDVV, where S is the signed bit, D is data, and V is
for volume padding. Also, for PCM_DOWNLINK, PCM has the 16-bit format
of 0xSDDD DDDD DDDD DVVV, where S is the signed bit, D is data, and V
is for volume padding.
Each interface path always accepts/outputs data in 20 millisecond frames.
This translates to 320 bytes per frame
(8 k samples/second * 16 bits/sample * 20 ms).

3.5.2 WLAN Antenna Isolation
Based upon the known isolation and the lineair gain of the WLAN receiver there is a
minimum requirement for the out of band isolation in the GSM and UMTS bands. The
isolation is depending upon the antenna isolation WLAN and mobile standard, the output
power of the mobile, the linearity of the WLAN receiver IIP3 and the front-end filter
(blocking filter). Therefore it is preferred to use WLAN modules with blocking filter.

4.1 USB interface
The hardware USB interface is USB 2.0 compatible, USB 2.0 Full Speed (12Mbi/s) signalling
will be used.
4.2 COM interface
Three com ports are defined:
- application: This interface can be used for SMS and AT control commands and event
reporting
- modem: a second COM port provides the interface for the data channel and supports dial up
networking
-diagnostic: A third port is used for layer 1-3 stack tracing and debugging messages.
4.3 NDIS interface
The NDIS interface for the data channel provides an "auto start", "no click" way to get online
for a user. To the operating system, the card is represents itself as a network interface card,
hiding dial-up networking and AT commands.
One NDIS driver could also run the SMS and signal strength port. This data can be shipped to
an application via a custom IOCTL interface.

5 DEVICE DRIVER INTERFACE
The figure below gives an overview of the driver structure which will be provided with the
GTM. Basically the module will manifest itself as a composite USB device which creates
stubs which the other higher level drivers hook into and provide their respective function. The
version number in gtmndisXXusb.sys denotes the operating system (XX= 50 for windows
2000, 51 for XP and 60 for Longhorn).
The “gtffbus.sys” driver is in fact a flip flop driver (type of mux) which chooses the interface
to use for data traffic: either the modem or the NDIS interface can be used.
For informational point of view it is illustrated that the mdm.exe service in fact controls the
“modem.sys” driver and the “tcpip.sys” is used for the TCP/IP stack interface towards the
application. These 2 drivers are default OS drivers.
Figure 22: Driver structure
The “connmgr.exe” is a service proposed by Option to control the functionality of the NDIS
driver (e.g. other PIN code, APN, …). The user space API will be available to aplication
developers.

6 AT COMMAND SET REFERENCE
This section lists the AT commands available on the GTM module. Most of the AT
commands supported are specified in 3GPP TS 27.007 and 3GPP TS 27.005. Details of these
commands can be found in those 3GPP specifications.

8 CERTIFICATION
FCC certification:
If the FCC ID is not visible when this card is installed inside another device, then the outside
of the device into which this device is installed must also display a label referring to the
enclosed device. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: "Contains FCC
ID: NCMOGTM353-W". Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.
Other certification statements are to be added in a next revision of this document.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of
20cm between the radiator and your body.
This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions:
OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end product for any additional compliance
requirements required with this module installed (for example, digital device emissions, PC
peripheral requirements, etc.).
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or
co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered
valid and the FCC ID cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM
integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and
obtaining a separate FCC authorization.
