![WM_PRJ_Q2400_PTS_002 - 003 14th April 2003 1.3 Firmware WISMO Quik Q24x6 sub-series is designed to be integrated into various types of applications such as handsets or vertical applications (telemetry, multimedia,…). For vertical applications, the firmware offers a set of AT commands to control the module (for further information, refer to document [3]). Please be aware that some of these interfaces can not be handled when using the WISMO Quik Q24x6 sub-series driven by AT commands: LCD interface, auxiliary serial link interface and SPI bus. This symbol is used to indicate the interfaces not available with AT commands. AAATTT These functions have then to be managed externally i.e using the main processor of the application. confidential © Page : 12 / 61This document is the sole and exclusive property of WAVECOM.

Nevertheless, it is possible to manage 3 V and 5 V SIM cards using an external level shifter (refer to customer design guidelines [1]). In this case, depending on the type of SIM detected, the module firmware triggers the GPO0 output signal (pin #26) in order to properly set the external SIM driver level (3V or 5V). confidential © Page : 22 / 61This document is the sole and exclusive property of WAVECOM.

![WM_PRJ_Q2400_PTS_002 - 003 14th April 2003 2.13 Audio interface Two different microphone inputs and two different speaker outputs are supported. The WISMO Quik Q24x6 sub-series also includes an echo cancellation feature which allows hands-free function. In some case, ESD protection must be added on the audio interface lines. 2.13.1 Microphone inputs The MIC2 inputs already include the biasing for an electret microphone allowing an easy connection to a handset. The MIC1 inputs do not include an internal bias. MIC1/SPK1 is then appropriate for a hands-free system or a handset with biasing external to the module. 2.13.1.1 Common microphone inputs characteristics The connection can be either differential or single-ended but using a differential connection in order to reject common mode noise and TDMA noise is strongly recommended. When using a single-ended connection, be sure to have a very good ground plane, a very good filtering as well as shielding in order to avoid any disturbance on the audio path.

For the applications based on AT commands, this is a backup download procedure only (refer to document [1] Customer Design Guidelines). The internal boot procedure is started when this pin is low during the reset of the module. In normal mode this pin has to be left open. In Internal boot mode, low level has to be set through a 1KΩ resistor. If used, this input has to be driven by an open collector or an open drain output: • BOOT pin 12 = 0, for download mode, • BOOT pin 12 = 1, for normal mode.

![WM_PRJ_Q2400_PTS_002 - 003 14th April 2003 2.17.2 Reset sequence To activate the « emergency » reset sequence, the ~RST signal has to be set to low for 500 µs minimum. As soon as the reset is complete, the AT interface answers « OK » to the application. For this, the application has to send AT↵. If the application manages hardware flow control, the AT command can be sent during the initialisation phase. Another solution is to use the AT+WIND command to get an unsollicited status from the module. For further details, refer to AT commands documentation [3].

This input is very sensitive and an interrupt is activated on high to low edge. If this signal is not used it can be left open.
