2 Interface Characteristics
BGS5 is equipped with an SMT application interface that connects to the external application.
The SMT application interface incorporates the various application interfaces as well as the RF
antenna interface.
2.1 Application Interface
2.1.1 USB Interface
BGS5 supports a USB 2.0 Full Speed (12Mbit/s) device interface. The USB interface is primar-
ily 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
BGS5 is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Universal Serial Bus Specifi-
cation Revision 2.0”1.
Figure 2: 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 BGS5 needs to be installed.
While the USB connection is active, the module will not change into SLEEP mode. Switching
between active and SLEEP mode is controlled by the VUSB_IN signal. Only if VUSB_IN is low,
will the module switch to SLEEP mode. Therefore, VUSB_IN must be disabled or set to low

first, before the module can switch to SLEEP mode. If the module is in SLEEP mode, a high
VUSB_IN signal level will wake up the module again, and switch to active mode. On an incom-
ing call BGS5 does generate a remote wake up request to resume the USB connection.
As an alternative to the regular USB remote wakeup mechanism it is possible to employ the
RING0 line to wake up the host application. The benefit is that the RING0 line 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.

2.1.2 Serial Interface ASC0
BGS5 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 in-
active state).
BGS5 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 line
Figure 3: Serial interface ASC0
Features:
• 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 voice calls, transferring data and for controlling 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 other types of URCs (Unsolicited
Result Code). It can also be used to send pulses to the host application, for example to
wake up the application from power saving state.
• Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
• ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1200bps up to 921600bps.
• Autobauding supports bit rates from 1200bps up to 230400bps.
• Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control. The hardware hand shake line RTS0 has an
internal pull down resistor causing a low level signal, if the line is not used and open.
Although hardware flow control is recommended, this allows communication by using only
RXD and TXD lines.
• Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation (high to low transition).

2.1.3 Serial Interface ASC1
Four BGS5 GPIO lines can be configured as ASC1 interface signals to provide a 4-wire unbal-
anced, asynchronous modem interface ASC1 conforming to ITU-T V.24 protocol DCE signal-
ling. 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).
The following four GPIO lines are by default configured as ASC1 interface signals:
GPIO16 --> RXD1, GPIO17 --> TXD1, GPIO18 --> RTS1 and GPIO19 --> CTS1.
BGS5 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 module’s TXD1 signal line
• Port RXD @ application receives data from the module’s RXD1 signal line
Figure 4: Serial interface ASC1
Features
• Includes only the data lines TXD1 and RXD1 plus RTS1 and CTS1 for hardware hand-
shake.
• On ASC1 no RING line is available.
• Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 or 2 stop bits.
• ASC1 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1,200 bps to 921600 bps.
• Autobauding supports bit rates from 1200bps up to 230400bps.
• Supports RTS1/CTS1 hardware flow control. The hardware hand shake line RTS1 has an
internal pull down resistor causing a low level signal, if the line is not used and open.
Although hardware flow control is recommended, this allows communication by using only
RXD and TXD lines.

2.1.4 UICC/SIM/USIM Interface
BGS5 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 interface are 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 oper-
ation. 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 test-
ed to operate with BGS5 and is part of the Gemalto M2M reference equipment submitted for
type approval. See Section 7.1 for Molex ordering numbers.
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 initializ-
ing any SIM card that the user inserts after having removed the SIM card during operation. In
this case, the application must restart BGS5.
Table 1: Signals of the SIM interface (SMT application interface)
Signal Description
GND Separate ground connection for SIM card 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 destruc-
tion of the SIM. The CCIN signal is by default low and will change to high level if a SIM card
is inserted.
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
BGS5.

The figure below shows a circuit to connect an external SIM card holder.
Figure 5: External UICC/SIM/USIM card holder circuit
The total cable length between the SMT application interface pads on BGS5 and the pads of
the external SIM card holder must not exceed 100mm in order to meet the specifications of
3GPP TS 51.010-1 and to satisfy the requirements of EMC compliance.
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 a GND line to shield
the CCIO line from the CCCLK line.

2.1.5 Digital Audio Interface
Four BGS5 GPIO interface lines can be configured a digital audio interface (DAI). The DAI can
be used to connect audio devices capable of pulse code modulation (PCM).
2.1.6 GPIO Interface
BGS5 offers a GPIO interface with 17 GPIO lines. The GPIO lines are shared with other inter-
faces resp. functions.
The following table shows the configuration variants for the GPIO pads. All variants are mutu-
ally exclusive, i.e. a pad configured for instance as Status LED is locked for alternative usage.
When the BGS5 starts up, all GPIO lines (except GPIO1-GPIO3 and GPIO24) are set to high-
impedance state after initializing. Therefore, it is recommended to connect external pull-up or
pull-down resistors to those GPIO lines that are to be used as output. This is necessary to keep
these lines from floating or driving any external devices.

2.1.7 I2C Interface
I2C is a serial, 8-bit oriented data transfer bus for bit rates up to 400kbps in Fast mode. It con-
sists of two lines, the serial data line I2CDAT and the serial clock line I2CCLK. The module acts
as a single master device, e.g. the clock I2CCLK is driven by the module. I2CDAT is a bi-direc-
tional line. Each device connected to the bus is software addressable by a unique 7-bit ad-
dress, and simple master/slave relationships exist at all times. The module operates as master-
transmitter or as master-receiver. The customer application transmits or receives data only on
request of the module.
The I2C interface can be powered via the V180 line of BGS5. If connected to the V180 line, the
I2C interface will properly shut down when the module enters the Power Down mode.
Note: Good care should be taken when creating the PCB layout of the host application: The
traces of I2CCLK and I2CDAT should be equal in length and as short as possible.
2.1.8 SPI Interface
Four BGS5 GPIO interface lines can be configured as Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The
SPI is a synchronous serial interface for control and data transfer between BGS5 and the ex-
ternal application. Only one application can be connected to the SPI and the interface supports
only master mode. The transmission rates are up to 6.5Mbit/s. The SPI interface comprises the
two data lines MOSI and MISO, the clock line SPI_CLK a well as the chip select line SPI_CS.
The four GPIO lines can be configured as SPI interface signals as follows: GPIO16 --> MOSI,
GPIO17 --> MISO, GPIO18 --> SPI_CLK and GPIO19 --> SPI_CS. The configuration is done
by AT command (see [1]). It is non-volatile and becomes active after a module restart.

Page 19 of 41
2.1.9 TPWM Interfaces
The GPIO6 and GPIO7 interface lines can be configured as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
interface lines PWM1 and PWM2. The PWM interface lines can be used, for example, to con-
nect buzzers. The PWM1 line is shared with GPIO7 and the PWM2 line is shared with GPIO6
(for GPIOs see Section 2.1.6). GPIO and PWM functionality are mutually exclusive.
2.1.10 Pulse Counter
The GPIO8 line can be configured as pulse counter line COUNTER. The pulse counter inter-
face can be used, for example, as a clock (for GPIOs see Section 2.1.6).
2.1.11 Control Signals
2.1.11.1 Status LED
The GPIO5 interface line can be configured to drive a status LED that indicates different oper-
ating modes of the module (for GPIOs see Section 2.1.6). GPIO and LED functionality are mu-
tually exclusive.
2.1.11.2 Power Indication Circuit
In Power Down mode the maximum voltage at any digital or analog interface line must not ex-
ceed +0.3V. Exceeding this limit for any length of time might cause permanent damage to the
module.
It is therefore recommended to implement a power indication signal that reports the module’s
power state and shows whether it is active or in Power Down mode. While the module is in
Power Down mode all signals with a high level from an external application need to be set to
low state or high impedance state.
2.1.11.3 Host Wakeup
If no call, data or message transfer is in progress, the host may shut down its own USB inter-
face to save power. If a call or other request (URC’s, messages) arrives, the host can be noti-
fied of these events and be woken up again by a state transition of the ASC0 interface‘s RING0
line.
2.1.11.4 Fast Shutdown
The GPIO4 interface line can be configured as fast shutdown signal line FST_SHDN. The con-
figured FST_SHDN line is an active low control signal and must be applied for at least 10ms.
If unused this line can be left open because of a configured internal pull-up resistor.

2.2 RF Antenna Interface
The RF interface has an impedance of 50. BGS5 is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at
the antenna line 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, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Antenna matching networks are
not included on the BGS5 module and should be placed in the host application if the antenna
does not have an impedance of 50.
Regarding the return loss BGS5 provides the following values in the active band:

2.2.1 Antenna Installation
The antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pad (RF_OUT, i.e., pad #59) and its neigh-
boring ground pads (GND, i.e., pads #58 and #60) directly to the application’s PCB. The anten-
na pad is the antenna reference point (ARP) for BGS5. All RF data specified throughout this
document is related to the ARP.
The distance between the antenna RF_OUT pad and its neighboring GND pads has been op-
timized for best possible impedance. On the application PCB, special attention should be paid
to these 3 pads, in order to prevent mismatch.
The wiring of the antenna connection line, starting from the antenna pad to the application an-
tenna should result in a 50 line impedance. Line width and distance to the GND plane needs
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 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 BGS5‘s antenna pad.

Page 22 of 41
2.3 Sample Application
Figure 6 shows a typical example of how to integrate a BGS5 module with an application. Us-
age of the various host interfaces depends on the desired features of the application.
Because of the very low power consumption design, current flowing from any other source into
the module circuit must be avoided, for example reverse current from high state external control
lines. Therefore, the controlling application must be designed to prevent reverse current flow.
Otherwise there is the risk of undefined states of the module during startup and shutdown or
even of damaging the module.
Because of the high RF field density inside the module, it cannot be guaranteed that no self
interference might occur, depending on frequency and the applications grounding concept. ex-
cluded that in some applications dependant on the grounding concept of the customer. The po-
tential interferers may be minimized by placing small capacitors (47pF) at suspected lines (e.g.
RXD0, VDDLP, and ON).
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 po-
sition of components. For example, mounting the internal acoustic transducers directly on the
PCB eliminates the need to use the ferrite beads shown in the sample schematic.
Please note that BGS5 is not intended for use with cables longer than 3m.
Disclaimer
No warranty, either stated or implied, is provided on the sample schematic diagram shown in
Figure 6 and the information detailed in this section. As functionality and compliance with na-
tional regulations depend to a great amount on the used electronic components and the indi-
vidual application layout manufacturers are required to ensure adequate design and operating
safeguards for their products using BGS5 modules.

3.2 Power Supply
BGS5 needs to be connected to a power supply at the SMT application interface (2 lines each
BATT+ and GND).
The power supply of BGS5 has to be a single voltage source at BATT+. It must be able to pro-
vide the peak current during the uplink transmission.
All the key functions for supplying power to the device are handled by the power management
section of the analog controller. This IC provides the following features:
• Stabilizes the supply voltages for the baseband using low drop linear voltage regulators and
a DC-DC step down switching regulator.
• Switches the module's power voltages for the power-up and -down procedures.
• SIM switch to provide SIM power supply.

5.2 SAR requirements specific to portable mobiles
Mobile phones, PDAs or other portable transmitters and receivers incorporating a GSM module
must be in accordance with the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency energy. This
requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable BGS5 based applications to be evalu-
ated 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 European and 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.

the basic restrictions related to human exposure to electromagnetic
fields (300MHz - 3GHz)
Please note that SAR requirements are specific only for portable devices and not for mobile
devices as defined below:
• Portable device:
A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radi-
ating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.
• Mobile device:
A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed
locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20
centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structure(s) and the
body of the user or nearby persons. In this context, the term ''fixed location'' means that the
device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another
location.

6.4 Safety Precaution Notes
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage,
service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating BGS5. 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. Fail-
ure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and in-
tended 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 guide-
lines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hear-
ing 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 elec-
trical 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.
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.
