Figure 4: The DCE-DTE Connection of UART Interface The following figure is an example of connection between UC15 Mini PCIe and PC. Since the UART interface does not support the RS-232 level, RS-232 level translator IC must be inserted between module and PC. The following figure shows the reference design of RS232 level match circuit. UC15_Mini_PCIe_Hardware_Design Confidential / Released 19 / 40 UMTS/HSDPA Module Series UC15 Mini PCIe Hardware Design Figure 5: RS232 Level Match Circuit NOTES 1. The hardware flow control is disabled by default. AT command AT+IFC=2,2 is used to enable the hardware flow control. AT command AT+IFC=0,0 is used to disable the hardware flow control. For more details, please refer to document [2]. AT command AT+IPR is used to set the baud rate of the UART. Please refer to document [2] for details. UART_DTR supports sleep control function. Driving it to low level will wake up the module, and it can be disabled by command AT+QCFG="pwrsavedtr",0. Meanwhile, the rising edge on UART_DTR will let the module exit from data mode. Refer to document [2] of command AT&D for details. UART_DCD is used as data transferring indication. You can refer to document [2] for details of AT&C command. This pin can also be used as AP_READY function, which can detect the host sleep state to avoid the URC loss during the time when the host is waking up from the sleep state.

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. UC15_Mini_PCIe_Hardware_Design Confidential / Released 21 / 40 UMTS/HSDPA Module Series UC15 Mini PCIe Hardware Design For 6-pin USIM connector, it is recommended to use Amphenol C707 10M006 512 2.

It can only be used as a slave device. Meanwhile, it supports high speed (480 Mbps), full speed (12 Mbps) and low speed (1.5 Mbps) mode. The USB interface can be used for AT command, data transmission, software debug and firmware upgrade. The following figure shows the reference circuit of USB interface. Module MCU VCC_MCU VCC Differential layout USB_DM USB_ DP GND USB_DM USB_DP GND NM_2pF Figure 8: Reference Circuit of USB Interface 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). UC15_Mini_PCIe_Hardware_Design Confidential / Released 23 / 40 UMTS/HSDPA Module Series UC15 Mini PCIe Hardware Design NOTES There are three preconditions when enabling UC15 Mini PCIe to enter the sleep mode: 1. Execute AT command AT+QSCLK=1 to enable the sleep mode. Refer to document [2]. 2. UART_DTR pin should be kept in high level (pull-up internally). 3. USB interface on Mini PCIe must be connected with your USB interface, and guarantee USB devices are in the suspended state. 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.

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. 3.8. Control Signals The following table shows the pin definition of control signals.
