WM_PRJ_Q2686_PTS_001-010  June 30, 2009  Q2686 Wireless CPU®    VMIN  VNOM  VMAX VBATT1,2 3.2 3.6 4.8 Table 1 Power supply voltage  (1):  This value must be guarantied during the burst (with 1.5A Peak in GSM or GPRS mode) (2):  Max operating Voltage Stationary Wave Ratio (VSWR) 2:1  When the Wireless CPU® is supplied with a battery, the total impedance (battery + protections + PCB) should be < 150 mΩ.   As the radio power amplifier is directly connected to VBATT, the Wireless CPU® is sensitive to any Alternative Current on lines. When a DC/DC converter is used, Wavecom recommends setting the converter frequency in such a way that the resulting voltage does not exceed the values in following table.  Freq. (kHz) Uripp Max (mVpp) <10 300 10 ≤ f ≤ 200  40 > 200  10 Table 2 Maximum voltage ripple (Uripp) vs Frequency When the Wireless CPU® is in Alarm/Off mode, no voltage has to be applied on any pin of the 100-pin connector, except on Vbatt (pins 1 to 4) ,BAT-RTC (pin 7) for RTC operation or ON/~OFF (pin 19) to power-ON the Wireless CPU®. 3.2.2 Power Consumption Power consumption is dependent on the configuration used. It is for this reason that the following consumption values are given for each mode, RF band and type of software used (AT or Open AT®). All the following information is given assuming a 50 Ω RF output. The following consumption values were obtained by performing measurements on the Wireless CPU® samples at a temperature of 25° C. Three VBATT values are used to measure the consumption, VBATTMIN (3.2V), VBATTMAX (4.8V) and VBATTTYP (3.6V).  The average current is given for the three VBATT values and the peak current given is the maximum current peak measured with the three VBATT voltages. For a more detailed description of the operating modes, see the appendix of the AT Command User Guide [7].  For more information on the consumption measurement procedure, see Q2686 Wireless CPU® Customer Design Guidelines [10]. First let’s define start-up current in view to avoid start issues.](https://usermanual.wiki/Sierra-Wireless/Q2686.Installation-Guide/User-Guide-1135580-Page-24.png)

A high-level signal must be provided on the ON/~OFF pin to switch ON the Wireless CPU®. The voltage of this signal has to be maintained higher than 0.8 x VBATT during a minimum of 1500ms.  This signal can be left at high level until switch-off. To switch OFF the Wireless CPU®, the ON/OFF pin must be released. The Wireless CPU® can be switched off via the Operating System.

The ON/OFF signal must be held high during a minimum delay of Ton/off-hold  (Minimum hold delay on the ON/~OFF signal) to power-ON. After this delay, an internal mechanism maintains the Wireless CPU® in power-ON condition. During the power-ON sequence, an internal reset is automatically performed by the Wireless CPU® for 40ms (typical). Any external reset should be avoided during this phase.  Once initialization is completed (timing is SIM- and network-dependent), the AT interface answers "OK" to the application.

Other factors have a minor influence • the number of parameters stored in EEPROM by the AT commands received so far • the ageing of the hardware components, especially the flash memory • the temperature conditions The recommended way to de-assert the ON/~OFF signal is to use either an AT command or WIND indicators: the application must detect the end of the power-up initialization and de-assert ON/~OFF afterwards. • Send an “AT” command and wait for the “OK” answer: once the initialization is complete the AT interface answers « OK » to “AT” message1.  • Wait for the “+WIND: 3” message: after initialization, the Wireless CPU®, if configured to do so, will return an unsolicited “+WIND: 3” message. The generation of this message is enabled or disabled via an AT command. Note: See also “AT Commands User Guide” [7] for more information on these commands.                                          1 If the application manages hardware flow control, the AT command can be sent during the initialisation phase.](https://usermanual.wiki/Sierra-Wireless/Q2686.Installation-Guide/User-Guide-1135580-Page-60.png)

WM_PRJ_Q2686_PTS_001-010  June 30, 2009  Q2686 Wireless CPU® 6 Design Guidelines The purpose of the following paragraphs is to give design guidelines.  6.1 HARDWARE and RF 6.1.1 EMC Recommendations The EMC tests must be performed on the application as soon as possible to detect any potential problems. When designing, special attention should be paid to: • Possible spurious emission radiated by the application to the RF receiver in the receiver band • ESD protection is mandatory on all signals which have external accessibility (typically human accessibility). See Q2686 Wireless CPU® Customer Design Guidelines WM_PRJ_Q2686_PTS_003 [10] for ESD protection samples.  o Typically, ESD protection is mandatory for the:   SIM (if accessible from outside)   Serial link • EMC protection on audio input/output (filters against 900MHz emissions) • Biasing of the microphone inputs • Length of the SIM interface lines (preferably <10cm) • Ground plane: Wavecom recommends a common ground plane for analog/digital/RF grounds. • A metallic case or plastic casing with conductive paint are recommended Note: The Wireless CPU® does not include any protection against over-voltage.](https://usermanual.wiki/Sierra-Wireless/Q2686.Installation-Guide/User-Guide-1135580-Page-88.png)

WM_PRJ_Q2686_PTS_001-010  June 30, 2009  Q2686 Wireless CPU® 6.1.4 Antenna WARNING: Wavecom strongly recommends working with an antenna manufacturer either to develop an antenna adapted to the application or to adapt an existing solution to the application.  Both the mechanical and electrical antenna adaptation is one of the key issues in the design of the GSM terminal. 6.2 Mechanical Integration Attention should be paid to: • Antenna cable integration (bending, length, position, etc) • Leads of the Wireless CPU® to be soldered to the Ground plane 6.3 Operating System Upgrade The Q2686 Wireless CPU® Operating System is stored in flash memory and can easily be upgraded. IMPORTANT: In order to follow regular changes in the GPRS standard and to offer a state-of-the-art Operating System, Wavecom recommends that the application designed around a Wireless CPU® (or Wireless CPU® based product) allow easy Operating System upgrades on the Wireless CPU® via the standard X-modem protocol. Therefore, the application shall either allow a direct access to the Wireless CPU® serial link through an external connector or implement any mechanism allowing the Wireless CPU® Operating System to be downloaded via X-modem. The Operating System file can be downloaded to the modem using the X-modem protocol. The AT+WDWL command allows the download process to be launched (see the description in the AT Command User Guide [7]). The serial signals required to proceed with X-modem downloading are: Rx, Tx, RTS, CTS and GND. The Operating System file can also be downloaded to the modem using the DOTA (download over the air) feature. This feature is available with the Open AT® interface. For more details, please, refer to the Open AT® documentation listed in section 1.1.1.](https://usermanual.wiki/Sierra-Wireless/Q2686.Installation-Guide/User-Guide-1135580-Page-91.png)
