1 Description
SPSGPE is a hardware LGA-SMT module for easy development of high performance wireless
network applications for a wide range of applications.
Compact-sized, low power and fully integrated, SPSGPE is available in 3 versions:
SPSGPE-433 operating on ETSI 433 MHz band
SPSGPE-868 operating on ETSI 868 MHz band
SPSGPE-915 operating FCC 915 MHz band.
All versions have the same pin-out and mechanical shape.
SPSGPE is based on SPIRIT1 RF sub-GHz transceiver (with integrated SMPS) and
STM32L151RDY6 microcontroller by ST Microelectronics. Balun and filtering network are
embedded in the module. An external antenna can be connected through one pin of the module
which requires an impedance-controlled track of 50 Ω. The UART host interface and USB device
interface allow simple connection to an external microcontroller with a standard firmware or a
host computer, enabling AT commands to facilitate RF configuration, data transmission and
reception, using simple point-to-point communication. Selected STM32L1 GPIO and peripherals
are available to interface external devices and enable user applications. Advanced features of
SPIRIT1 radio are also accessible.
SPSGPE is designed and engineered to build OEM solutions and applications primarily in the
following domains:
Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M);
Smart Cities;
Smart Grids and Energy Management;
Home & Building Automation;
Wireless Sensor Networks;
Data acquisition equipment management;
Industrial condition and asset monitoring.

3.2 Typical application circuits
In a typical application circuit, SPSGPE is connected to a host microcontroller unit through a standard
UART to transmit and receive signals. This application is pictured in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Typical application circuit of SPSGPE connected to a host microcontroller.
Please notice that “USB / RTS” could be left floating if USB is supported by firmware.
In another typical application circuit, SPSGPE is connected to a host computer through a standard USB
connector. This application is pictured in Figure 3.

NOTE: when using the SPSGPE in a USB self-powered application, USB back-voltage test requirement
must be met (i.e. a maximum of 400 mV may be measured on the VBUS, D+, or D- when the device is not
plugged into a USB port). For this purposes, SPSGPE requires to receive on the pin USB_DEV_CONN a
signal indicating, when set at high logical level, that the VBUS is detected in order to properly control the
internal pull-up resistor connected to D+ line available internally to the STM32L151RDY6. For further
details, please refer to STM32L151RDY6 datasheet.

Special features are enabled by the following pins:
- STAT_LED (pin TP10): output to drive an external LED and indicated status of SPSGPE
connections. If this pin is used as output to an external LED, possible outputs are listed in
Table 11.
LED Output
Description
Periodic single flashing with long
ON time and short OFF time.
Application is waiting for commands from DTE.
Periodic single flashing with short
ON time and long OFF time.
Application has started and SPSGPE is seeking for
connection.
Periodic fast double flashing.
Application has started and SPSGPE is connected to
a gateway.
Table 11. Outputs to external LED by pin STAT_LED (TP10).
- RESET (pin TP6): internal pulled-up signal for resetting SPSGPE. It has to be tied low for at
least 100 ms and then released to perform SPSGPE unconditional hardware restart. Please
notice that unconditional hardware restart must not be used during normal device operation,
since it does not detach the device from the network. It shall be kept as emergency exit
procedure in the rare case the module gets stacked waiting for network response. It is
suggested to implement unconditional hardware restart (through a GPIO of the host
microcontroller unit, to be configured as open drain or through a push button) on SPSGPE
applications only as emergency exit procedure.
- ON/OFF (pin TP33): it performs the turning on/off procedure for SPSGPE when voltage
supply at VDD (pin 27) stands within recommended operating range (please refer to Table 1).
To start the turning off procedure when the module is turned on, the ON/OFF signal needs to
be tied low for at least 2 seconds. Similarly, to start the turning on procedure when the module
is turned off, the ON/OFF signal needs to be tied low for at least 2 seconds. The turning on/off
procedure can also be performed via AT commands (please refer to SPSGPE software
guide).
- PWR_MON (pin TP14): output signal indicating SPSGPE power status. It climbs high when
SPSGPE is properly powered on, and it climbs down when SPSGPE is not powered.
- USB_DEV_CONN (pin TP11): input signal to detect USB cable connections. It has to be high
when USB is connected, and low when USB is disconnected. Considering a 5 V tolerant pin, it
is recommended to connect it to the VBUS pin of USB connector with proper protection and
filtering network, adopting components like diode, ferrite bead and capacitors. If USB is used,
UART interface to DTE is automatically disabled. To re-enable UART, this pin has to be tied
low.

3.3 Layout guidelines
When adopting SPSGPE, please consider the following guidelines for a correct PCB design:
1. A minimum four-layer PCB is suggested.
2. At least one of the PCB layers should be used to implement a copper ground plane
without cuts.
3. Copper planes and/or heavy traces are recommended to implement power supply
connections.
4. Decoupling capacitors (recommended values are 100 nF and 10 µF in parallel) have to
be placed very close to power supply pins.
5. Routing of traces (especially noisy and high frequency ones) across the power supply
should be avoided.
6. The ANT pin (pin TP45) needs to be used for connecting the module to an external
antenna. Its related RF ground is represented by pins TP44 and TP46. A trace having a
controlled impedance of 50 Ω needs to be used to connect the ANT pin (pin TP45) to an
external antenna (microstrip or grounded coplanar waveguide solutions of 50 Ω are
suggested).
7. Routing of traces (especially noisy, high frequency and power supply ones) near or
across the connection between the ANT pin (pin TP45) and the external antenna should
be avoided.
8. Connection of all ground metallization and/or layers should have as many vias as
possible. Number and density of these vias should be increased in the connection area
between the ANT pin (pin TP45) and the external antenna.
9. A differential trace of 90 Ω needs to be used to connect pins TP18 and TP19 (USB_P /
RTS and USB_N / CTS, respectively) to a USB connector, in case they are used as USB
traces. It is also strongly recommended to follow all hardware and layout guidelines by
USB standards.

4 Module operation
SPSGPE software architecture is based on SPSGPE.OS operating system and provides a set of
precompiled firmware libraries to manage module operation.
Two operational modes are supported:
SPSGPE working as a “communication module”, using AT/HDLC commands;
SPSGPE working as a “standalone module”, running embedded standalone application.
When using SPSGPE as a communication module, the module acts as a wireless RF module.
SPSGPE.OS operating system handles SPSGPE internal transceiver and any external device connected
to it, providing mesh routing connectivity. Thus, it allows to configure SPSGPE either as a node or as a
gateway, enabling different application domains including and not limited to low-power applications.
This operational mode enables module configuration and status interrogation, and supports two different
high-level communication interfaces: AT command set and HDLC command interface.
AT and HDLC command interfaces assume communications with an external host processor via USB
and/or UART serial interfaces, in a scenario where SPSGPE acts as an RF modem device and the user
application runs on the host processor.
The two types of command modes are briefly described below:
- AT command: it implements a set of AT commands compliant with Hayes standard AT
command set and expanded through Paradox Engineering proprietary AT command set for
special purposes.
- HDLC command: it offers a fast optimized binary HDLC protocol with a set of HDLC
commands for managing and controlling SPSGPE.
When using SPSGPE as a standalone module, the user can develop its own application code and link it
to SPSGPE.OS, or customize a standard SPSGPE application firmware image through the scripting tool.
Once developed with the scripting tool, compiled script programs can be uploaded and executed under the
control of SPSGPE Script Engine.
For further details about SPSGPE software architecture, command and operating modes, please refer to
SPSGPE Application and Software – User Guide (document reference: tbd)
