This requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable ALS1-US based applications to be evaluated and approved for compliance with national and/or international regulations. Since the SAR value varies significantly with the individual product design manufacturers are advised to submit their product for approval if designed for portable use. For US markets the relevant directives are mentioned below. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the final product to verify whether or not further standards, recommendations or directives are in force outside these areas. Products intended for sale on US markets ES 59005/ANSI C95.1 Considerations for evaluation of human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from mobile telecommunication equipment (MTE) in the frequency range 30MHz - 6GHz IMPORTANT: Manufacturers of portable applications based on ALS1-US modules are required to have their final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate related to the specific portable mobile. ALS1-US_HIO_v01.000 Confidential / Preliminary 2013-08-14 Cinterion® ALS1-US Hardware Interface Overview Page 13 of 34 1.4 Regulatory and Type Approval Information 13 1.4.3 SELV Requirements The power supply connected to the ALS1-US module shall be in compliance with the SELV requirements defined in EN 60950-1. 1.4.4 Safety Precautions The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating ALS1-US. Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and operating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product. Gemalto M2M assumes no liability for customer’s failure 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 guidelines 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 manufacturer 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 cannot 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 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. 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. 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 communications, 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 terminal or mobile.

Airplane mode Airplane mode shuts down the radio part of the module, causes the module to log off from the GSM/GPRS network and disables all AT commands whose execution requires a radio connection. Airplane mode can be controlled by AT command (see [1]). ALS1-US_HIO_v01.000 Confidential / Preliminary 2013-08-14 Cinterion® ALS1-US Hardware Interface Overview Page 19 of 34 3.2 Power Supply 23 3.2 Power Supply ALS1-US needs to be connected to a power supply at the SMT application interface - 4 lines each BATT+ and GND. There are two separate voltage domains for BATT+: • BATT+_RF with 2 lines for the RF power amplifier supply • BATT+ with 2 lines for the general power management. The main power supply from an external application has to be a single voltage source and has to be expanded to two sub paths (star structure). Each voltage domain must be decoupled by application with low ESR capacitors (> 47µF MLCC @ BATT+; > 4x47µF MLCC @ BATT+_RF) as close as possible to LGA pads. Figure 2 shows a sample circuit for decoupling capacitors for BATT+. Module 1x SMT interface BATT+ BATT+_RF BATT+ 4x Decoupling capacitors e.g. 47µF X5R MLCC GND Figure 2: Decoupling capacitor(s) for BATT+ The power supply of ALS1-US 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 linear voltage regulators. • Switches the module's power voltages for the power-up and -down procedures. • Delivers, across the VEXT line, a regulated voltage for an external application. • LDO to provide SIM power supply. ALS1-US_HIO_v01.000 Confidential / Preliminary 2013-08-14 Page 20 of 34 Cinterion® ALS1-US Hardware Interface Overview 3.3 USB Interface 23 3.3 USB Interface ALS1-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 ALS1-US is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0”1. Module SMT VREG (3V075) BATT+ GND lin. reg. USB part1) VBUS DP DN Detection only 1µF RS RS VUSB_IN 2) USB_DP 3) USB_DN 3) 1) All serial (including R S ) and pull-up resistors for data lines are implemented . Since VUSB_IN is used for detection only it is recommended not to add any further blocking capacitors on the VUSB _IN line. 2) 3) If the USB interface is operated in High Speed mode (480MHz), it is recommended to take special care routing the data lines USB _DP and USB_DN. Application layout should in this case implement a differential impedance of 90Ohm for proper signal integrity. Figure 3: USB circuit To properly connect the module's USB interface to the host a USB 2.0 compatible connector is required. Furthermore, the USB modem driver distributed with ALS1-US needs to be installed. 1. The specification is ready for download on http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/ ALS1-US_HIO_v01.000 Confidential / Preliminary 2013-08-14 Cinterion® ALS1-US Hardware Interface Overview Page 21 of 34 3.4 UICC/SIM/USIM Interface 23 3.4 UICC/SIM/USIM Interface ALS1-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. Five pads on the SMT application interfaceare reserved for the SIM interface. The UICC/SIM/USIM interface supports 3V and 1.8V SIM cards. The CCIN signal serves to detect whether a tray (with SIM card) is present in the card holder. Using the CCIN signal is mandatory for compliance with the GSM 11.11 recommendation if the mechanical 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 operate with ALS1-US and is part of the Gemalto M2M reference equipment submitted for type approval. See Chapter 8 for Molex ordering numbers. Table 8: Signals of the SIM interface (SMT application interface) Signal Description GND Ground connection for SIM. Optionally a separate SIM ground line using e.g., pad N11 may be used to improve EMC. CCCLK Chipcard clock CCVCC SIM supply voltage. CCIO Serial data line, input and output. CCRST Chipcard reset CCIN 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 destruction of the SIM. The CCIN signal is active low. The CCIN signal is mandatory for applications that allow the user to remove the SIM card during operation. The CCIN signal 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 ALS1-US. Note: No guarantee can be given, nor any liability accepted, if loss of data is encountered after removing the SIM card during operation. Also, no guarantee can be given for properly initializing any SIM card that the user inserts after having removed the SIM card during operation. In this case, the application must restart ALS1-US.

To avoid possible cross-talk from the CCCLK signal to the CCIO signal be careful that both lines are not placed closely next to each other. A useful approach is using the GND line to shield the CCIO line from the CCCLK line.

The interface has an impedance of 50. ALS1-US is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna interface without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power. The external antennas must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radiated power, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Matching networks are not included on the ALS1-US PCB and should be placed in the host application, if the antenna does not have an impedance of 50. Regarding the return loss ALS1-US provides the following values in the active band: Table 9: Return loss in the active band State of module Return loss of module Recommended return loss of application Receive > 8dB > 12dB Transmit not < 5dB Idle 1. applicable > 12dB not applicable By delivery default the UMTS/LTE Rx diversity/MIMO antenna is configured as available for the module since its usage is mandatory for LTE. Please refer to [1] for details on how to configure antenna settings.

The distance between the antenna pads and their neighboring GND pads has been optimized for best possible impedance. To prevent mismatch, special attention should be paid to these pads on the application’ PCB. The wiring of the antenna connection, starting from the antenna pad to the application’s antenna should result in a 50 line impedance. Line width and distance to the GND plane need to be optimized with regard to the PCB’s layer stack. To prevent receiver desensitization due to interferences generated by fast transients like high speed clocks on the external application PCB, it is recommended to realize the antenna connection line using embedded Stripline rather than Micro-Stripline technology. For type approval purposes, the use of a 50 coaxial antenna connector (U.FL-R-SMT) might be necessary. In this case the U.FL-R-SMT connector should be placed as close as possible to ALS1-US‘s antenna pad.

The PWR_IND line is an open collector that needs an external pull-up resistor which connects to the voltage supply VCC µC of the microcontroller. Low state of the open collector pulls the PWR_IND signal low and indicates that the ALS1-US module is active, high level notifies the Power-down mode. If the module is in Power-down mode avoid current flowing from any other source into the module circuit, for example reverse current from high state external control lines. Therefore, the controlling application must be designed to prevent reverse flow. While developing SMT applications it is strongly recommended to provide test points for certain signals resp. lines to and from the module - for debug and/or test purposes. The SMT application should allow for an easy access to these signals. For details on how to implement test points see [3]. The EMC measures are best practice recommendations. In fact, an adequate EMC strategy for an individual application is very much determined by the overall layout and, especially, the position of components. Some LGA pads are connected to clocks or high speed data streams that might interfere with the module’s antenna. The RF receiver would then be blocked at certain frequencies (self interference). The external application’s PCB tracks connected to these pads should therefore be well shielded or kept away from the antenna. This applies especially to the USB and UICC/ SIM interfaces. Disclaimer: No warranty, either stated or implied, is provided on the sample schematic diagram shown in Figure 7 and the information detailed in this section. As functionality and compliance with national regulations depend to a great amount on the used electronic components and the individual application layout manufacturers are required to ensure adequate design and operating safeguards for their products using ALS1-US modules.
