On VBAT pads, a ripple current up to 2A typically, may cause voltage drop. Therefore, the power
supply for these pads must be able to provide sufficient current up to more than 2A in order to
avoid the voltage drop of more than 300mV.

Make sure that the voltage on the VBAT pins will never drop below 3.4V.
Note: If the power supply for BAT pins can support up to 2A, using a total of more than 220uF
capacitors is recommended, or else users must use a total of 1000uF capacitors, in order to avoid
the voltage drop of more than 300mV.
Some multi-layer ceramic chip (MLCC) capacitors (0.1/1uF) with low ESR in high frequency band
can be used for EMC.
These capacitors should be put as close as possible to VBAT pads. Also, user should keep VBAT
trace on the circuit board wider than 2 mm to minimize PCB trace impedance. The following figure
shows the recommended circuit.

Recommended Power Supply Circuit
It is recommended that a switching modepower supply or linear regulator power supply is used. It
is important to make sure that all the components used in the power supply circuit can resist a peak
current up to 2A.
The following figure shows the linear regulatorreference circuit with 5V input and 3.8V output.
Figure 6: Linear regulator reference circuit
If there is a big voltage difference between input and output for VBAT power supply, orthe
efficiency is extremely important,then a switching mode power supply will be preferable. The
following figure shows theswitching mode power supply reference circuit.

Voltage Monitor
To monitor the VBAT voltage, the AT command “AT+CBC” can be used.
For monitoring the VBAT voltage outside or within a special range, the AT command
“AT+CVALARM” can be used to enable the under-voltage warning function.
If users need to power off Module, when the VBAT voltage is out of a range, the AT command
“AT+CPMVT” can be used to enable under-voltage power-off function.
Note: Under-voltage warning function and under-voltage power-off function are disabled by

RI and DTR Behavior
The RI pin can be used to interrupt output signal to inform the host controller such as application
CPU.
Normally RI will stay at high level until certain conditions such as receiving SMS, or a URC report
come in. It will then change to low level. It will stay low until the host controller clears the
interrupted event with “AT+CRIRS” AT command.
Figure 15: RI behaviour(SMS and URC report)
Normally RI will be kept high until a voice call, then it will output periodic rectangular wave with
5900ms low level and 100ms high level. It will output this kind of periodic rectangular wave until
the call is answered or hung up.

Module can be used as a USB device. Module supports the USB suspend and resume mechanism
which can reduce power consumption. If there is no data transmission on the USB bus, Module will
enter suspend mode automatically and will be resumed by some events such as voice call, receiving
SMS, etc.
Figure 17: USB reference circuit
Because of the high bit rate on USB bus, more attention should be paid to the influence of the
junction capacitance of the ESD component on USB data lines. Typically, the capacitance should
be less than1pF. It is recommended to use an ESD protection component such as ESD9L5.0ST5G
provided by On Semiconductor (www.onsemi.com ).
D3 is suggested to select the diode with anti-ESD and voltage surge function, or customer could
add a ZENER diode for surge clamping. The recommend diodes list please refer to table 7.

Operating Mode Definition
The table below summarizes the various operating modes of Module series products.
Table 30: Operating mode Definitions
Normal operation
Mode
Function
LTE Sleep
In this case, the current consumption of module will be reduced to the
minimal level and the module can still receive paging message and
SMS.
LTE Idle
Software is active. Module is registered to the network, and the
module is ready to communicate.
LTE Talk
Connection between two subscribers is in progress. In this case, the
power consumption depends on network settings such as DTX off/on,
FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, antenna.
LTE Standby
Module is ready for data transmission, but no data is currently sent or
received. In this case, power consumption depends on network
settings.
LTE transmission
There is data transmission in progress. In this case, power
consumption is related to network settings (e.g. power control level);
uplink/downlink data rates, etc.
Minimum functionality
mode
AT command “AT+CFUN=0” can be used to set the module to a
minimum functionality mode without removing the power supply. In
this mode, the RF part of the module will not work and the USIM
card will not be accessible, but the serial port and USB port are still
accessible. The power consumption in this mode is lower than normal
mode.
Flight mode
AT command “AT+CFUN=4” or pulling down the FLIGHTMODE
pin can be used to set the module to flight mode without removing the
power supply. In this mode, the RF part of the module will not work
but the serial port and USB port are still accessible. The power
SIM7500A_User Manual_V1.00

Smart Machine Smart Decision
consumption in this mode is lower than normal mode.
Power off
5.3.2
Module will go into power off mode by sending the AT command
“AT+CPOF” or by pulling down the PWRKEY pin normally. In this
mode the power management unit shuts down the power supply and
software is not active. The serial port and USB are is not accessible.
Sleep Mode
In sleep mode, the current consumption of module will be reduced to the minimal level, and
module can still receive paging message and SMS.
Several hardware and software conditions must be satisfied together in order to let Module enter
into sleep mode:
1. UART condition
2. USB condition
3. Software condition
Note: Before designing, pay attention to how to realize sleeping/waking function and refer to
Document [26] for more details.
5.3.3
Minimum Functionality Mode and Flight Mode
Minimum functionality mode ceasesa majority functionof module, thus minimizing the power
consumption. This mode is set by the AT command which provides a choice of the functionality
levels.
● AT+CFUN=0: Minimum functionality
● AT+CFUN=1: Full functionality (Default)
● AT+CFUN=4: Flight mode
If Module has been set to minimum functionality mode, the RF function and USIM card function
will be closed. In this case, the serial port and USB are still accessible, but RF function and USIM
card will be unavailable.
If Module has been set to flight mode, the RF function will be closed. In this case, the serial port
and USB are still accessible, but RF function will be unavailable.
When Module is in minimum functionality or flight mode, it can return to full functionality by the
AT command “AT+CFUN=1”.

ESD Notes
Module is sensitive to ESD in the process of storage, transporting and assembling. Especially,
Module is mounted on the users’ mother board, The ESD components should be placed beside the
connectors which human body might touch, such as USIM card holder, audio jacks, switches and
keys, etc. The following table shows the Module ESD measurement performance without any
external ESD component.

E. Safety Caution
Table 41: Safety caution
Marks
Requirements
When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions about the use
of mobiles. Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, medical equipment may be
sensitive and not operate normally due to RF energy interference.
Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it is
switched off. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to
prevent interference with communication systems. Forgeting to think much of these
instructions may impact the flight safety or offend local legal action, or both.
Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots,
chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any
electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety
hazard.
Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while
switched on. RF interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios,
computers or other electric equipment.
Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when
driving a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a holder for hands free operation.
Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle.
GSM cellular terminals or mobiles operate over radio frequency signals and cellular
networks and cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions, especially with a
mobile fee or an invalid SIM card. While you are in this condition and need emergent
help, please remember to use emergency calls. In order to make or receive calls, the
cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in a service area with adequate
cellular signal strength.
Some networks do not allow for emergency call if certain network services or phone
features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may have to
deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call.
Also, some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular
terminal or mobile.
