Cellular terminals or mobiles operate over radio frequency signal and cellular
network and cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions, for example no
mobile fee or an invalid SIM card. While you are in this condition and need
emergent help, please remember using emergency call. In order to make or
receive call, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in a service
area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Your cellular terminal or mobile contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and transmits radio frequency energy. RF interference can occur if it is
used close to TV set, radio, computer or other electric equipment.
In locations with potencially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn
off wireless devices such as your phone or other cellular terminals. Areas with
potencially exposive atmospheres including fuelling areas, below decks on boats,

The following table shows the VCC_3V3 pins and ground pins.
Table 5: VCC_3V3 and GND Pins
The typical supply voltage of UC15 Mini PCIe is 3.3V. In the 2G networks, the input peak current may
reach to 2.7A during the transmitting time, therefore the power supply must be able to provide enough
current, and a bypass capacitor of no less than 100µF with low ESR should be used to prevent the
voltage from dropping.
The following figure shows a reference design of power supply. The precision of resistor R2 and R3 is 1%,
and the capacitor C3 needs a low ESR.

UC15 Mini PCIe supports 1.8V and 3.0V USIM cards. The following figure shows the reference design of
the 6-pin USIM card.
Figure 6: Reference Circuit of the 6 Pin USIM Card
In order to enhance the reliability and availability of the USIM card in your application, please follow the
criteria below in the USIM circuit design:
Keep layout of USIM card as close to the module as possible. Assure the length of the trace as less
than 200mm as possible.
Keep USIM card signal away from RF and power supply alignment.
The decouple capacitor of USIM_VDD should be less than 1uF and must be close to USIM
connector.
To avoid cross-talk between USIM_DATA and USIM_CLK, keep them away from each other and
shield them with surrounding ground.
In order to offer good ESD protection, it is recommended to add TVS such as WILL
(http://www.willsemi.com) ESDA6V8AV6. The 22Ω resistors should be added in series between the
module and USIM card so as to suppress the EMI spurious transmission and enhance the ESD
protection. The 33pF capacitors are used for filtering interference of EGSM900. Please note that the
USIM peripheral circuit should be close to the USIM connector.
The pull-up resistor on USIM_DATA line can improve anti-jamming capability when long layout trace
and sensitive occasion are applied.

To ensure the USB interface design corresponds with the USB 2.0 specification, please comply with the
following principles.
It is important to route the USB signal traces as differential pairs with total grounding. The impedance
of USB differential trace is 90ohm.
Do not route signal traces under crystals, oscillators, magnetic devices and RF signal traces. It is
important to route the USB differential traces in inner-layer with ground shielding, and not only upper
and lower layer but also right and left side should be shielded.
If you use the USB connector, you should install the ESD components as close to the USB connector
as possible. Pay attention to the influence of junction capacitance of ESD component on USB data
lines. Typically, the capacitance value should be less than 2pF (e.g.ESD9L5.0ST5G).

3.7. Audio Interface
3.7.1. Digital Audio Interface
UC15 Mini PCIe Telematics version provides one Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) digital audio interface,
which supports the following modes.
Short sync mode (works as both master and slave)
Long sync mode (works as master only)
When module works in the short sync mode, PCM_CLK=2048kHz and PCM_SYNC=8kHz. The data is
sampled on the falling edge of the PCM_CLK and transmitted on the rising edge, and the PCM_SYNC
falling edge represents the MSB.
When module works in the long sync mode, PCM_CLK=128kHz and PCM_SYNC=8kHz. The data is
sampled on the falling edge of the PCM_CLK and transmitted on the rising edge, and the PCM_SYNC
rising edge represents the MSB.
The following figures show timing relationship of these two modes.

You can use AT+QMIC to adjust the input gain level of microphone, use AT+CLVL to adjust the output
gain level of receiver and speaker. AT+QSIDET is to set the side-tone gain level. For more details, please
refer to document [2].
The 33pF capacitors and 10pF capacitors are applied for filtering out 850/900/1800/1900MHz RF
interference. However, the self-resonant frequency point of capacitor largely depends on the material and
production technique. Therefore, you should depend on the capacitor vendor to choose the most suitable
capacitor for filtering out GSM850, EGSM900, DCS1800 and PCS1900 separately.
In order to decrease radio or other signal interference, RF antenna should be kept away from audio
interface and audio alignment. Power alignment and audio alignment should not be parallel, and power
alignment should be far away from audio alignment. The differential audio traces should be placed
according to the differential signal layout rules.
