Important Notice
Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission
and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be
delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost.
Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when
wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in
a normal manner with a well‐constructed network, the Sierra
Wireless modem should not be used in situations where failure
to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind
to the user or any other party, including but not limited to
personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless
accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting
from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the
Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless
modem to transmit or receive such data.
Safety and Hazards
Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where
blasting is in progress, where explosive atmospheres may be
present, near medical equipment, near life support equipment,
or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of
radio interference. In such areas, the Sierra Wireless modem
MUST BE POWERED OFF. The Sierra Wireless modem can
transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment.
Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft,
whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the
Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. When
operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that
could interfere with various onboard systems.
Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the
aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. Sierra Wireless
modems may be used at this time.
The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the
Sierra Wireless modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so
will detract from the driver or operatorʹs control and operation
of that vehicle. In some states and provinces, operating such
communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an
offence.

Required connectors
Note: Contact vendors before
choosing your connectors — the
numbers included here are for
reference only. Choose
connectors that are appropriate
to your design.
When integrating these modules into your host device, you
need the following connector types:
• RF cables that mate with Hirose U.FL connectors (model
U.FL #CL331‐0471‐0‐10). Modules include one or two
connector jacks depending on individual module support
for diversity or GPS functionality.
• Industry‐standard mating connector for 52‐pin EDGE—
some manufacturers include Tyco, Foxconn, and Molex. For
example, the connector used on the Mini Card Dev Kit
board is a Molex 67910‐0001.
• Industry‐standard USIM connector (MC87xx only)—the
actual connector you use depends on how your device
exposes the USIM socket. For example, the USIM connector
used on the Mini Card Dev Kit board is an ITT CCM03‐
3518.

2: Power Interface
Overview of operation
Note: This chapter contains information for CDMA (MC57xx) and
GSM (MC87xx) modules.
Information that is unique to specific module types is clearly
identified.
The module is designed to use a 3.3V (nominal) power supply,
provided by the host. It is the host’s responsibility to provide
safe and continuous power to the module at all times; the
module does NOT have an independent power supply, or
protection circuits to guard against electrical issues.
The module’s power state is controlled by the host’s assertion /
de‐assertion of the W_Disable# signal. The module also
monitors its supply voltage and requests shutdown if the
supply is insufficient.
Power signals
The module must be connected to a 3.3V power supply (as
described in PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specifi‐
cation Revision 1.1).
The MC87xx has more power pins than the MC57xx due to
higher peak current requirements for GSM devices.
For detailed pinout and voltage / current requirements of these
modules, see the Product Specification Document for your
Mini Card.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
You are responsible for ensuring that the host has adequate
ESD protection on digital circuits and antenna ports:
• (Operational) RF port (antenna launch and RF connector):
IEC‐61000‐4‐2 — Level (Electrostatic Discharge Immunity Test)
• (Non‐operational) Host connector interface:
JESD22‐A114‐B +/‐ 1kV Human Body Model and
JESD22‐C101 +/‐ 125 V Charged Device Model
Specific recommendations are provided where needed in this
guide, however, the level of protection required depends on
your application.

CDMA and GSM / UMTS Mini Card Hardware Integration Guide
Note: ESD protection is highly recommended for the USIM connector
at the point where the contacts are exposed, and for any other signals
from the host interface that would be subjected to ESD by the user of
the product.
Module power states
The module has four power states:
• Disconnected
No power to the module.
• Off
Power to the module, but the module is powered off.
• Normal
The module is active. Several modes are possible (Receive,
Transmit, Sleep, Shutdown).
• Low power (“airplane mode”)
The module is active, but RF is disabled.
Note: The module unit defaults
to the Normal state when
VCC3.3 is first applied in the
absence of W_Disable# control.
State machines are implemented in the module to monitor the
power supply and operating temperature.
Disconnected state
Note: The difference between
the Disconnected and Off states
is that, in the Off state, the
module is still connected to the
power source and draws minimal
current.
This state occurs when there is no power to the module — the
host power source is disconnected from the module and all
voltages associated with the module are at 0 V.
Whether the host device is also powered off depends on the
power rail design. If the connection between the power rail
and the module is controlled by the host, the host can stay
powered on and cut the power to put the modem into the
disconnected state. If the power rail is shared between the host
device and the module, the host is powered off when the
module is powered off.
Off state
In this state, the host is powered up and the module is
powered down (but still connected to the power source).
The host keeps the module powered off by driving the
W_Disable# signal low. In this state, the module draws minimal
current.

Power Interface
Normal state
This is the active state of the module. In this state:
• The module is fully powered.
• The module is capable of placing / receiving calls or estab‐
lishing data connections on the wireless network.
• The USB interface is fully active.
Note: This is the default state
when VCC3.3 is first applied in
the absence of W_Disable#
control.
Low power mode
In this state, RF (both Rx and Tx) is disabled in the module, but
the USB interface is still active. This low power mode
(ʺairplane modeʺ) is controlled by software commands
through the host interface.
For instructions on using the commands, refer to AT Command

RF connection
When attaching an antenna to the module:
Note: To disconnect the
antenna, make sure you use the
Hirose U.FL connector removal
tool (P/N UFL-LP-N-2(01)) to
prevent damage to the module
or coaxial cable assembly.
18
• Use a Hirose U.FL connector (model
U.FL #CL331‐0471‐0‐10) to attach an antenna to a
connection point on the module, as shown in Figure 3‐1 (the
main RF connector on the top side; the diversity RF or GPS
connector on the bottom side).
• Match coaxial connections between the module and the
antenna to 50 Ω.
• Minimize RF cable losses to the antenna; the recommended
maximum cable loss for antenna cabling is 0.5 dB.

Ground connection
When connecting the module to system ground:
• Prevent noise leakage by establishing a very good ground
connection to the module through the host connector.
• Connect to system ground using the two mounting holes at
the top of the module (as shown in Figure 3‐1).
• Minimize ground noise leakage into the RF.
Depending on the host board design, noise could potentially
be coupled to the module from the host board. This is
mainly an issue for host designs that have signals traveling
along the length of the module, or circuitry operating at
both ends of the module interconnects.
Shielding
The module is fully shielded to protect against EMI and to
ensure compliance with FCC Part 15 ‐ “Radio Frequency
Devices” (or equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions).
Note: The module shields must NOT be removed.

product specification documents
(PSDs) (listed in Related
documents, page 8) — in the

When selecting the antenna and cable, it is critical to RF perfor‐
mance to match antenna gain and cable loss.
Choosing the correct antenna and cabling
Consider the following points for proper matching of antennas
and cabling:
• The antenna (and associated circuitry) should have a
nominal impedance of 50 Ω with a return loss ≤ 10 dB
across each frequency band of operation.
• The system gain value affects both radiated power and
regulatory (FCC, IC, CE, etc.) test results.
Developing custom antennas
Consider the following points when developing custom‐
designed antennas:
• A skilled RF engineer should do the development to ensure
that the RF performance is maintained.
• Identify the bands that need to be supported, particularly
when both the MC57xx and MC87xx will be installed in the
same platform. In this case, you may want to develop
separate antennas for maximum performance.
Determining the antenna’s location
Consider the following points when deciding where to put the
antenna:
• Antenna location may affect RF performance. Although the
module is shielded to prevent interference in most applica‐
tions, the placement of the antenna is still very important —
if the host device is insufficiently shielded, high levels of
broadband or spurious noise can degrade the module’s
performance.
• Connecting cables between the module and the antenna
must have 50 Ω impedance. If the impedance of the module
is mismatched, RF performance is reduced significantly.
• Antenna cables should be routed, if possible, away from
noise sources (switching power supplies, LCD assemblies,
etc.). If the cables are near the noise sources, the noise may
be coupled into the RF cable and into the antenna.
Disabling the diversity antenna
• MC57xx — If your host device is not designed to use the
MC57xx module’s diversity antenna, terminate the interface
with a 50 Ω load.

Interference and sensitivity
Note: These modules are based
on ZIF (Zero Intermediate
Frequency) technologies; when
performing EMC
(Electromagnetic Compatibility)
tests, there are no IF
(Intermediate Frequency)
components from the module to
consider.
Note: Values in this guide are
taken from the appropriate
product specification documents
(PSDs) (listed in Related
documents, page 8) — in the
case of a discrepancy between
this document and the relevant
PSD, use the value listed in the
PSD.
Several sources of interference can affect the RF performance
of the module (RF desense). Common sources include power
supply noise and device‐generated RF.
RF desense can be addressed through a combination of
mitigation techniques and radiated sensitivity measurement.
Power supply noise
Noise in the power supply can lead to noise in the RF signal.
The power supply ripple limit for the module is no more than
200 mVp‐p 1 Hz to 100 kHz. This limit includes voltage ripple
due to transmitter burst activity.
Interference from other wireless devices
Wireless devices operating inside the host device can cause
interference that affects the module.
To determine the most suitable locations for antennas on your
host device, evaluate each wireless device’s radio system,
considering the following:
• Any harmonics, sub‐harmonics, or cross‐products of signals
generated by wireless devices that fall in the module’s Rx
range may cause spurious response, resulting in decreased
Rx performance.
• The Tx power and corresponding broadband noise of other
wireless devices may overload or increase the noise floor of
the module’s receiver, resulting in Rx desense.
The severity of this interference depends on the closeness of
the other antennas to the module’s antenna. To determine
suitable locations for each wireless device’s antenna,
thoroughly evaluate your host device’s design.

Device-generated RF
All electronic computing devices generate RF interference that
can negatively affect the receive sensitivity of the module.
Note: The module can cause
interference with other devices
such as hearing aids and onboard speakers.
Wireless devices such as the
Mini Card transmit in bursts
(pulse transients) for set
durations (RF burst frequencies).
Hearing aids and speakers
convert these burst frequencies
into audible frequencies,
resulting in audible noise.
The proximity of host electronics to the antenna in wireless
devices can contribute to decreased Rx performance. Compo‐
nents that are most likely to cause this include:
• Microprocessor and memory
• Display panel and display drivers
• Switching‐mode power supplies
These and other high‐speed devices (in particular, the
processor) can decrease Rx performance because they run at
frequencies of tens of MHz. The rapid rise and fall of these
clock signals generates higher‐order harmonics that often fall
within the operating frequency band of the module, affecting
the module’s receive sensitivity.
Example
On a sub‐system running at 40 MHz, the 22nd harmonic falls
at 880 MHz, which is within the cellular receive frequency
band.
Note: In practice, there are usually numerous interfering frequencies
and harmonics. The net effect can be a series of desensitized receive
channels.
Note: It is important to
investigate sources of localized
interference early in the design
cycle.
