Manufacturers of thecellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and operatingpersonnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Fail-ure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and in-tended use of the product. Cinte rion Wirele ss Modules a ssumes no liability for cu stomer’sfailure to comply with these precautions.When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of mobiles. Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, if instructed to do so by the guide-lines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing aids can be affected by interference from cellular terminals or mobiles placed close to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufac-turer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their hand-held mobile away from the pacemaker, while it is on. Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it can-not be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, 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 electri-cal equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off the cellular terminal or mobile wherever forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when driv-ing a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a holder for speakerphone operation. Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle. Speakerphones must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or opera-tion can constitute a safety hazard.
AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview1.3 Regulatory and Type Approval Information14AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Page 14 of 42 2012-05-29Confidential / ReleasedIMPORTANT!Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks. Because of this, connection cannot be guaranteed at all times under all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential com-munications, for example emergency calls. Remember, 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 calls if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call.Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular termi-nal or mobile.Bear in mind that exposure to excessive levels of noise can cause physical damage to users! With regard to acoustic shock, the cellular application must be designed to avoid unintentional increase of amplification, e.g. for a highly sensitive earpiece. A pro-tection circuit should be implemented in the cellular application.

AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview3.2 Power Supply28AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Page 21 of 42 2012-05-29Confidential / Released3.2 Power SupplyAH3-US needs to be connected to a power supply at the board-to-board connector - 5 lines each BATT+ and GND. The power supply of AH3-US has to be a single voltage source at BATT+. It must must be able to provide the peak current during the uplink transmission. All key functions for supplying power to the device are handled by the power management IC. It provides the following features:• Stabilizes the supply voltages for the baseband using switching regulators and low drop lin-ear voltage regulators.• Switches the module's power voltages for the power-up and -down procedures.• Delivers, across the VEXT pin, a regulated voltage for an external application. This voltageis not available in Power-down mode and can be reduced via AT command to save power.• SIM switch to provide SIM power supply.
AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview3.3 USB Interface28AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Page 22 of 42 2012-05-29Confidential / Released3.3 USB InterfaceAH3-US supports a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mbit/s) device interface that is Full Speed (12Mbit/s) compliant. The USB interface is primarily intended for use as command and data interface and for downloading firmware. The USB host is responsible for supplying the VUSB_IN line. This line is for voltage detection only. The USB part (driver and transceiver) is supplied by means of BATT+. This is because AH3-US is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Universal Serial Bus Speci-fication Revision 2.0”1.Figure 2: USB circuitTo properly connect the module's USB interface to the host a USB 2.0 compatible connector is required. For more information on the USB related pins see Table 27. Furthermore, the USB modem driver distributed with AH3-US needs to be installed.While the USB connection is active, the module will not change into SLEEP Mode. To enable switching into SLEEP mode the USB host must bring its USB interface into Suspend state. Al-so, VUSB_IN should always be kept enabled for this functionality. See “Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0"1 for a description of the Suspend state. On incoming calls AH3-US will then generate a remote wake up request to resume the USB connection (active low).As an alternative to the regular USB remote wakeup mechanism it is possible to employ the RING0 or GPIO4 line to wake up the host application. The benefit is that the RING0 or GPIO4 lines can wake up the host application in case of incoming calls or other events signalized by URCs while the USB interface is suspended or shut down. 1.

AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview3.4 Serial Interface ASC028AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Page 23 of 42 2012-05-29Confidential / Released3.4 Serial Interface ASC0AH3-US offers an 8-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC0 conforming to ITU-T V.24 protocol DCE signalling. The electrical characteristics do not comply with ITU-T V.28. The significant levels are 0V (for low data bit or active state) and 1.8V (for high data bit or inactive state). For electrical characteristics please refer to Table 27.AH3-US is designed for use as a DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE connections it communicates with the customer application (DTE) using the following signals:• Port TXD @ application sends data to the module’s TXD0 signal line• Port RXD @ application receives data from the module’s RXD0 signal lineFigure 3: Serial interface ASC0Features:• Includes the data lines TXD0 and RXD0, the status lines RTS0 and CTS0 and, in addition,the modem control lines DTR0, DSR0, DCD0 and RING0.• ASC0 is designed for controlling GSM/UMTS voice calls, transferring data and for control-ling the module with AT commands.• Full multiplexing capability allows the interface to be partitioned into virtual channels.• The RING0 signal serves to indicate incoming calls and ot her types of URCs (UnsolicitedResult Code). It can also be used to send p ulses to th e host applicat ion, for example towake up the application from power saving state. See [1] for details on how to configure theRING0 line by AT^SCFG.• Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. • ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 9600bps up to 921600bps.• Autobauding is supported.• Autobauding is not compatible with multiplex mode.• Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control.• Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation (high to low transition).Note. If the ASC0 serial interface is the application’s only interface, it is suggested to connect test points on the USB signal lines as a potential tracing possibility.

AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview3.5 UICC/SIM/USIM Interface28AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Page 25 of 42 2012-05-29Confidential / Released3.5 UICC/SIM/USIM InterfaceAH3-US has an integrated UICC/SIM/USIM interface compatible with the 3GPP 31.102 and ETSI 102 221. This is wired to the host interface in order to be connected to an external SIM card holder. Six pins on the board-to-board connector are reserved for the SIM interface. The UICC/SIM/USIM interface supports 3V and 1.8V SIM cards. Please refer to Table 27 for electrical specifications of the UICC/SIM/USIM interface lines depending on whether a 3V or 1.8V SIM card is used.The CCIN pin serves to detect whether a tray (with SIM card) is present in the card holder. Us-ing the CCIN pin is mandatory for compliance with the GSM 11.11 recommendation if the me-chanical design of the host application allows the user to remove the SIM card during operation. To take advantage of this feature, an appropriate SIM card detect switch is required on the card holder. For example, this is true for the model supplied by Molex, which has been tested to op-erate with AH3-US and is part of the Cinterion reference equipment submitted for type approv-al. See Chapter 8 for Molex ordering numbers.Table 9: Signals of the SIM interface (board-to-board connector)Signal DescriptionCCGND Separate ground connection for SIM card to improve EMC.Be sure to use this ground line for the SIM interface rather than any other ground line or plane on the module.CCCLK Chipcard clockCCVCC SIM supply voltage.CCIO Serial data line, input and output.CCRST Chipcard resetCCIN Input on the baseband processor for detecting a SIM card tray in the holder. If the SIM is removed during operation the SIM interface is shut down immediately to prevent destruc-tion of the SIM. The CCIN pin is active low.The CCIN pin is mandatory for applications that allow the user to remove the SIM card dur-ing operation. The CCIN pin is solely intended for use with a SIM card. It must not be used for any other purposes. Failure to comply with this requirement may invalidate the type approval of AH3-US.

AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview3.6 Analog Audio Interface28AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Page 27 of 42 2012-05-29Confidential / Released3.6 Analog Audio InterfaceAH3-US has an analog audio interface with a balanced analog microphone input and a bal-anced analog earpiece output. A supply voltage and an analog ground connection are provided at dedicated pins.AH3-US offers six audio modes which can be selected with the AT^SNFS command. The elec-trical characteristics of the voiceband part vary with the audio mode. For example, sending and receiving amplification, sidetone paths, noise suppression etc. depend on the selected mode and can be altered with AT commands (except for mode 1).When shipped from factory, all audio parameters of AH3-US are set to audio mode 1. This is the default configuration optimised for the Votronic HH-SI-30.3/V1.1/0 handset and used for type approving the Cinterion Wireless Modules reference configuration. Audio mode 1 has fix parameters which cannot be modified. To adjust the settings of the Votronic handset simply change to another audio mode.3.7 Pulse Code Modulation Interface (PCM)AH3-US’s PCM interface can be used to connect audio devices capable of pulse code modu-lation. The PCM functionality allows the use of a codec like the Freescale MC145483. 3.8 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)ADC is used for antenna diagnosis only. 3.9 GPIO InterfaceThe AH3-US has 10 GPIOs for external hardware devices. Each GPIO can be configured for use as input or output. All settings are AT command controlled. The IO port driver has to be open before using and configuring GPIOs. Before changing the configuration of a GPIO pin (e.g. input to output) the pin has to be closed. If the GPIO pins are not configured or the pins/driver were closed, the GPIO pins are high-Z with pull down resistor. If a GPIO is configured to input, the pin has high-Z without pull resistor.
AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview4 GPS Receiver28AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Page 28 of 42 2012-05-29Confidential / Released4 GPS ReceiverAH3-US integrates a GPS receiver that offers the full performance of GPS technology. The GPSreceiver is able to continuously track all satellites in view, thus providing accurate satellite po-sition data.The integrated GPS receiver supports the NMEA protocol via USB or ASC0 interface. NMEA is a combined electrical and data specification for communication between various (marine) electronic devices including GPS receivers. It has been defined and controlled by the US basedNational Marine Electronics Association. For more information on the NMEA Standard please refer to http://www.nmea.org.Depending on the receiver’s knowledge of last position, current time and ephemeris data, the receiver’s startup time (i.e., TTFF = Time-To-First-Fix) may vary: If the receiver has no knowl-edge of its last position or time, a startup takes considerably longer than if the receiver has stillknowledge of its last position, time and almanac or has still access to valid ephimeris data andthe precise time. By default, the GPS receiver is switched off. It has to be switched on and configured using ATcommands. For more information on how to control the GPS interface via the AT command AT^SGPSC see [1].
AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview5 Antenna Interfaces32AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Page 29 of 42 2012-05-29Confidential / Released5 Antenna Interfaces5.1 GSM/UMTS Antenna InterfaceThe AH3-US RF antenna interface comprises a main GSM/UMTS antenna as well as an op-tional UMTS Rx diversity antenna to improve signal reliability and quality1. The RF interface has an impedance of 50. AH3-US is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna pad without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power.The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radi-ated power, DC-power consumption, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Anten-na matching networks are not included on the AH3-US module and should be placed in the host application. Regarding the return loss AH3-US provides the following values in the active band:The connection of the antenna or other equipment must be decoupled from DC voltage. This is necessary because the antenna pad is DC coupled to ground via an inductor for ESD pro-tection.5.1.1 RF Antenna PadThe RF antenna can be attached to the antenna pad via contact springs such as the Rosenberger pogo pin series (Figure 5 shows the module’s RF antenna pad size; for more information on the Pogo pin series see Section 5.1.1.1). Note: The antenna pad resp. an SMA antenna connector sol-dered to the antenna pad has been chosen as antenna refer-ence point (ARP) for the Cinterion module AH3-US type approval.Figure 5: RF antenna pad sizeAlso, consider that according to the GSM recommendations TS 45.005 and TS 51.010-01 a 50 connector is mandatory for type approval measurements. This requires GSM devices with an integral antenna to be temporarily equipped with a suitable connector or a low loss RF cable with adapter.Please note that the GSM antenna must be isolated for ESD (to withstand a voltage resistanceup to 8kV air discharge).1. By delivery default the optional UMTS Rx diversity antenna is configured as available for the module.Please refer to [1] for details on how to configure antenna settings.Table 10: Return loss in the active bandState of module Return loss of module Recommended return loss of applicationReceive > 8dB > 12dBTransmit not applicable > 12dBIdle < 5dB not applicable

An efficient approach is tomount the AH3-US PCB to a frame, plate, rack or chassis. Fasteners ca n be M2 screws plus suita ble wa shers, circuit board s pacers, or customize dscrews, clamps, or brackets. In addition, the board-to-board connection can also be utilized toachieve better support. For proper grounding it is strongly recommended to use large ground plane on the bottom ofboard in addition to the five GND pins of the board-to-board connector. The ground plane mayalso be used to attach cooling elements, e.g. a heat sink or thermally conductive tape. To prevent mechanical damage, be careful not to force, bend or twist the module. Be sure it ispositioned flat against the host device. 6.3 Board-to-Board Application ConnectorThis section provides the specifications of the 80-pin board-to-board connector used to connectAH3-US to the external application.Connector mounted on the AH3-US module:Type: 52991-0808 SlimStack Receptacle 80 pins, 0.50mm pitch, for stacking heights of3.0 or 4.0mm, see Figure 11 for details.Supplier: Molex, http//www.molex.com
