2 Interface Characteristics
EHS5-E/EHS5-US 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
EHS5-E/EHS5-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
EHS5-E/EHS5-US is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Universal Serial
Bus Specification 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 EHS5-E/EHS5-US needs to be
installed.

2.1 Application Interface
18
EHS5_HIO_v01.000 Page 11 of 35 2012-11-14
Confidential / Preliminary
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 EHS5-E/
EHS5-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 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
EHS5-E/EHS5-US offers an 8-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC0 con-
forming 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).
EHS5-E/EHS5-US is designed for use as a DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE con-
nections 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/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 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.
• Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation (high to low transition).
2.1.3 Serial Interface ASC1
EHS5-E/EHS5-US offers a 4-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC1 conform-
ing 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).
EHS5-E/EHS5-US is designed for use as a DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE con-
nections 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 is not
supported on ASC1.
• Supports RTS1/CTS1 hardware flow.

Confidential / Preliminary
2.1.4 UICC/SIM/USIM Interface
EHS5-E/EHS5-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 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 EHS5-E/EHS5-US and is part of the Cinterion reference equipment submit-
ted 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 EHS5-E/EHS5-US.
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 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
EHS5-E/EHS5-US.

2.1 Application Interface
18
EHS5_HIO_v01.000 Page 14 of 35 2012-11-14
Confidential / Preliminary
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 EHS5-E/EHS5-US and
the pads of the external SIM card holder must not exceed 100mm in order to meet the specifi-
cations 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
EHS5-E/EHS5-US’s digital audio interface (DAI) can be used to connect audio devices capable
of pulse code modulation (PCM).
2.1.6 GPIO Interface
EHS5-E/EHS5-US offers a GPIO interface with 4 GPIO lines1. The GPIO lines are shared with
other interfaces: Status LED (see Section 2.1.9) or the PWM functionality (see Section 2.1.8).
The following table shows the configuration variants of the GPIO pads. All variants are mutually
exclusive, i.e. a pad configured as GPIO is locked for alternative use.

EHS5_HIO_v01.000 Page 15 of 35 2012-11-14
Confidential / Preliminary
When the EHS5-E/EHS5-US starts up, all GPIO lines are set to high-impedance state after ini-
tializing. Therefore, it is recommended to connect external pull-up or pull-down resistors to all
GPIO lines you want to use 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 mode1. 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 EHS5-E/EHS5-US. 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 PWM Interfaces
EHS5-E/EHS5-US offers two PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) interfaces, which can be used,
for example, to connect 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.
2.1.9 Status LED
The GPIO5 line at the SMT application interface can be configured to drive a status LED which
indicates different operating modes of the module (for GPIOs see Section 2.1.6). GPIO and
LED functionality are mutually exclusive.

2.2 RF Antenna Interface

EHS5_HIO_v01.000 Page 16 of 35 2012-11-14
Confidential / Preliminary
2.2 RF Antenna Interface
The RF interface has an impedance of 50. EHS5-E/EHS5-US 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 EHS5-E/EHS5-US module and should be placed in the host application if
the antenna does not have an impedance of 50.
Regarding the return loss EHS5-E/EHS5-US provides the following values in the active band:
2.2.1 Antenna Installation
The antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pad and its neighboring ground pads di-
rectly to the application’s PCB. The antenna pad is the antenna reference point (ARP) for
EHS5-E/EHS5-US. All RF data specified throughout this document is related to the ARP.
The distance between the antenna pad and its neighboring GND pads has been optimized for
best possible impedance. On the application PCB, special attention should be paid to these
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

2.3 Sample Application

2.3 Sample Application
Figure 6 shows a typical example of how to integrate a EHS5-E/EHS5-US module with an ap-
plication. Usage of the various host interfaces depends on the desired features of the applica-
tion.
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, RXT0, 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 EHS5-E/EHS5-US 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 EHS5-E/EHS5-US modules.

3.2 Power Supply
EHS5-E/EHS5-US needs to be connected to a power supply at the SMT application interface
(2 lines each BATT+ and GND).
The power supply of EHS5-E/EHS5-US has to be a single voltage source at BATT+. It must be
able to provide 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.

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 EHS5-E/EHS5-US. Manufac-
turers 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, manu-
facture and intended use of the product. Cinterion Wireless Modules 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.
