3.2 Grounding
Pins Name Description
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 DGND Digital Ground
60 AGND Analogue Ground
There are two ground signals in GM 47/48, Analogue Ground (AGND)
and Digital Ground (DGND). The analogue Ground is connected to pin
number 60, and the Digital Ground is connected to the System
Connector Interface through pin numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12.
Note: All the Ground pins have to be connected to the application. The
AGND is connected to the DGND in the ME, and only there. It is
important that the AGND and the DGND are separated in the
application.
3.2.1 The Analogue Ground
The AGND lead is the analogue audio reference ground. It is the return
signal for Audio To Mobile Station (ATMS) and Audio From Mobile
Station (AFMS).
It is connected to the Digital Ground (DGND) inside the module and
only there. The application shall not connect DGND and AGND.
Parameter Limit
Imax ≅12.5mA
3.2.2 The Digital Ground (DGND)
DGND is the reference for all digital signals in the System Interface.
It shall also be the DC return for the power supply on VCC and
SERVICE. Each DGND pin is rated at 0.5 A. All DGND pins are
connected internally in the module.
Parameter Limit
Iaverage < 0.5 A No DGND pin can withstand over 0.5 A
Imax < 600 mA (100 mA each)
GM47/48 Design Guidelines
BA/SEM/MSC 02:0006 Rev PA1 10
3.3 External Supply to Module
Pins Name Description
1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 VCC Regulated Power Supply
Connect all of the pins together in the application in order to carry the
current drawn by the module.
3.3.1 Power Supply (VCC)
The VCC supplies the module with external power. Any other voltage
needed is generated internally.
Parameter Mode Limit
Voltage to be applied Nominal 3.6 Volts
Tolerance 3.4 Volts - 4.0 Volts
Maximum voltage drop during
transmit burst 200mV
Over voltages 5.5 Volts
Current Drive capability at TX Full Power < 600 mA (average))
< 2 A (Peak)
GM 47/48 does not have internal capacitance to supply the large
current peaks during GSM transmission. Therefore on burst
transmission the application DC source is responsible for providing the
appropriate current.

The power supply conditions for the GM47/48 Vcc connection are as
follows:
Maximum voltage drop during
transmit burst 200mV
Maximum Ripple TBD : [estimate 50mV]
Table 3.1
Recommended ESR on CBULK : <100mΩ
Recommended Maximum DC resistance between PSU and GM47 Vcc
: <200mΩ
Recommended minimum CBULK : 1000µF [see tables below]
The following tables provide a quick indication to recommended
CBULK capacitance to maintain Vcc drop <200mV for different PSU
current delivery and DC resistance between PSU and Module Vcc.

Table 3.5
Note: When this capacitance is used with the PSU conditions stated,
the PSU will reach current limit. Although this condition on Vcc will
not adversely affect the module performance, this may not be a
condition appropriate to the supply and may adversely affect other
devices sharing the PSU output. If the PSU cannot be driven to current
limit, please select a non-current limiting configuration of CBULK and
RLINE. It is the responsibility of the application developer to ensure
correct operation of the PSU.
Further details of the GSM burst transmission waveform are given in
appendix III.
3.3.3 On/Off signal
The on/off line should be attached to an open collector drive or
momentary contact switch otherwise the module alarm clock feature
will not operate. The on/off line is wired Red internally with the alarm
wake up signal.
GM47/48 Design Guidelines
BA/SEM/MSC 02:0006 Rev PA1 13
3.4 SIM connections
All track lengths between the SIM card and the module must be kept
below 15cm. This is due to the voltage drop/capacitance associated
with the extra track length and it has type approval issues as it will
affect timing.
This is primarily designed as a 3 Volts SIM interface, but if a 5 Volts
SIM card is connected to it the interface will automatically detect this
and adjust the appropriate parameters.
SIM connections are shown below.
Figure 3.2 SIM Connections
Points to note regarding SIM connection
• The SIM does not need protection between it and the module, if
protection is put in great care must be taken as SIM testing for
type approval is very sensitive to capacitance in the lines.
• De-coupling for Vcc is required, testing has been carried out
using a 2.2uF ceramic capacitor.
• It is recommended that SIM circuitry is run at the opposite end of
the module as a precaution.

GM47/48 Design Guidelines
BA/SEM/MSC 02:0006 Rev PA1 15
will be used by audio accessories like handsets or Hands Free
equipment.
• Portable Hands Free - This state activates a different
amplification factor in the GM47 and activates a microphone bias
level of 2V in ATMS when a call is in progress.
This is the default state at power-on.
.
Audio Circuit Electrical characteristics
All sources must be AC-coupled except the Portable HandsFree
microphone, which shall be DC-coupled in order to supply DC current
to the Portable HandsFree microphone. AC coupling prevents incorrect
biasing or damage of the ATMS input. The capacitor must have a value
greater than shown below to avoid attenuation of low frequencies.

This functionality consists in the detection of a push button press
connecting ATMS to AGND for a certain period of time. This will
create a change in the microphone DC bias level.

AFMS is the analogue audio output from the module. When it is active,
the output is derived from the PCM digital audio by the decoder part of
the CODEC. The PCM data comes from PCMI on the system
connector.
It is also used as an ear-piece driver for the Portable Hands Free
accessory.

3.6 RF and antenna Integration
The rules for RF and antenna integration are general good practice
guidelines i.e.
• Ensure the antenna is a good 50Ω match across the GSM 900/1800
bands for GM47 and GSM 850/1900 bands for GM48.
• Antenna installation should be, where possible, not close to large
metal objects as this will affect the matching mentioned above.
• A specifically designed antenna for the GSM signals being
operated at will ensure the best reception.
If these are followed there should be no issues in terms of RF.
Please also see section 6.6 regarding SAR.
4 Output impedance includes impedance of EMC filter which is 100 Ω.
5 Need to check output drive levels with 100R EMI filter.
GM47/48 Design Guidelines
BA/SEM/MSC 02:0006 Rev PA1 17
3.7 Interfacing to a 3.3V µProcessor
Although the inputs to the modules can withstand a certain degree of
over voltage they should not be purposefully driven at a higher voltage
than that quoted in the pin out in appendix II.
This particularly applies to the serial com ports used to send and
receive the commands to and from the module. Level shifting I/C’s are
required to interface to the module.
An example of a suitable device is a Max3372 for level shifting, please
follow the below link for the data sheet. Note : ESD protection is not a
requirement for the level shifter.

4 Developers Board
The developers board is the reference design against which the module
has been type approved, the circuit diagram for this is available upon
request from customer support
4.1 Power Circuit
A 3A simple switcher step down voltage regulator has been used to
produce the module Vcc. Two 6800µF capacitors are located adjacent
to the module to cope with the GSM current pulses. The capacitors are
low ESR type approximately 16mΩ.
4.2 SIM Circuit
The SIM holder has been connected directly to the module, the
SIMVCC decoupling capacitor has been omitted and should be present
for all designs.
Note: Provision was made for additional ESD protection on the board
for development purposes.
This is not required and the devices have been removed from the
SIMDATA and SIMCLK signals to minimise capacitance on these
lines.
4.3 On/Off switch
The on/off line is connected to a momentary contact switch, this
ensures correct operation of the alarm clock feature in the module.
4.4 Programming circuitry
The data lines are converted between 2.7V & 5V logic and then
between 5V & RS232 levels. The data signal into the module is
powered from the VIO supply interface which ensures isolation of the
signal when the module is off.
To invoke programming mode the jumper JP27 is used. The Vppflash
signal path is no longer used.
GM47/48 Design Guidelines
BA/SEM/MSC 02:0006 Rev PA1 19
4.5 EMC
The circuit ground is bonded to the metal chassis of the developers kit
box, all signal connections are filtered via ferrite chokes.
4.6 Data signals:
The data and handshake lines are converted between 2.7V & 5V logic
and then between 5V & RS232 levels. The data signal and handshake
lines into the module are powered from the VIO supply interface which
ensures isolation of the signal when the module is off.
Diodes D3-5,D7 & D8 are not fitted.
GM47/48 Design Guidelines
BA/SEM/MSC 02:0006 Rev PA1 20
5 Part numbers
5.1 System connector
A connector that can be used to interface to the system connector is the

GM47/48 Design Guidelines
BA/SEM/MSC 02:0006 Rev PA1 22
6 Type Approval
The system integrator has to get CE marking for the integrated solution
with the GSM module in Europe (GM47) and the FCC approval in the
US (GM48). The system integrator only has to show compliance with
the essential requirements of the module by the integration of it into the
application.
If the external elements are designed according to the guidelines of this
document the testing would be the following:
• Integration with GM47
• EMC in all modes of operation
• Safety
• Integration with the GM48
• FCC approvals of all applicable parts
Sony Ericsson recommends that all these tests are performed by the
customer in an accredited test house. After that, all documentation
together with the test reports and certificates of the application should
be sent to Sony Ericsson in order to register the application to the
accessories list for the approval of the module, this will aid the
approval of the application world wide.
6.1 Documentation required
The system integrator is required to produce a document which will be
submitted to the test house containing the following information.
• Summary of the application
• Hardware description
• Block diagram with an explanation
• Schematics
• PCB/Component layout
• Bill of materials
This documentation will also be required for Sony Ericsson to add the
application to the list of approved accessories for the module in
addition to the test reports and certificates obtained from the test house.
6.2 Power supply
It is essential the application power supply is designed to comply with
the specification in section 3. This will be sufficient to pass type
approval, no RF testing will be required if it meets these specifications.
GM47/48 Design Guidelines
BA/SEM/MSC 02:0006 Rev PA1 23
6.3 SIM Testing
SIM testing does not need to be carried out since it is a passive
component. Points to note regarding the implementation of the SIM
card holder are as follows.
• SIM presence must be implemented to comply with the module
approval conditions.
• Any manufacturers SIM card holder can be used and this can also
be either 6 or 8 pins.
6.4 EMC/ESD & Safety
EMC and safety tests according to the ITU/GSM and FCC standards
will have to be completed as part of the mandatory testing. The GM
47/48 were originally type approved outside of a metal box. Additional
shielding is not strictly required the external application. This is the
responsibility of the system integrator. Overall ESD protection should
be guaranteed by the system integrator.
The EMC standard which the application must be tested to is EN 301
489-7, this can be found at the following web site.
http://www.etsi.org/getastandard/home.htm
The safety standard which the application must be tested to is EN
60950, the can be found at the following web site
http://www.iec.ch/
For the GM48 FCC part 15 regulations, these can be found at
http://www.fcc.gov/
6.5 RF Testing
6.5.1 GM47
As long as the antenna connected to the module is of the correct
impedance as specified in section 3.7 and is passive further RF testing
for TA is not required. Although it should be noted that radiation
performance is the responsibility of the system integrator.
6.5.2 GM48
According to the US rules (GM48) any change in RF path i.e. the
antenna path will require new approval according to FCC part 22 and
24.
GM47/48 Design Guidelines
BA/SEM/MSC 02:0006 Rev PA1 24
6.6 SAR warning
If the application is using an antenna which is less than 20cm away
from the any part of the users body, integrators are legally obliged to
publish SAR figures for the product. This testing would need to be
carried out by the system integrator.
Even if SAR measurements are not required it is considered good
practice to insert a warning in any manual produced indicating it is a
radio product and that care should be taken.
6.7 Other TA issues
6.7.1 External Application software
If the software of the external application is changed it has no effect
upon the type approval certificate issued to it.
6.7.2 GM47 software updates
If the GM47 software is updated there should be no further action
required by the system integrator as accessories lists are generally
carried across between TA certificates and any software supplied by
Sony Ericsson will be fully Type Approved.

Appendix III GSM transmit waveform characteristics
The simplified GSM loading characteristics and power supply reference
model in relation to the GM47 system connector is represented in
figure 1. J1 represents the interface to the GM47 system connector and
the voltage there is referenced Vcc.
Figure 2 shows a 1:8 cycle with the receive burst occurring in timeslot
1 and transmit in timeslot 6. Some of the quiet period is used by the
module to ‘listen’ to other GSM base-stations.
In simple terms the module can draw up to 2 Amps during the transmit
burst. The receive burst can draw up to 100mA. As the current
consumption of the receive burst does not normally cause problems for
power supply current drain, the simplified PSU model in figure 1
combines the receive, monitor and idle frames into an average current
consumption around 30mA. The transmit burst requires special
attention.

Figure 1 - Simplified GSM Timing Diagram
There are three main areas to consider in order to meet the transmit
burst requirements: PSU current capability, resistance between the
supply and module (RLINE), and bulk capacitance (CBULK) at the module
Vcc connection. The effect that each of these parameters has on the
waveform shape at Vcc is indicated in figure 3.

Figure 2 - Transmit Burst Vcc Waveform
A. The sharp fall in voltage in this region is caused by the ESR
of the capacitors (mounted as close to the module Vcc pins
as possible.
B. The RC discharge is controlled by CBULK, RLINE, and RTX.
C. If the PSU cannot supply the 2A max load of the GM47 and
current limit is reached the discharge of CBULK goes linear.
If current limit is not reached then section ‘B’ will continue for
the length of the transmit burst. Current limit will be reached
when the voltage dropped across RLINE reaches V = ILIM *
RLINE.
D. The sharp fall in voltage in this region is again caused by the
ESR of the capacitors.
E. CBULK will charge linearly while the supply is in current limit.
This section is not relevant while the PSU is not current
limited.
F. The RC charge is controlled by CBULK and RLINE.
G. Once the transmit burst is finished, the 1:8 duty cycle should
ensure that there is sufficient time for the PSU to fully
recover before the next transmit burst.
