HMS1 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary  s HMS1_HD_V01.62  Page 11 of 39  2006-08-21 1.4. 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 HMS1. 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. Siemens AG 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.     Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when driving 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 operation can constitute a safety hazard.
HMS1 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary  s HMS1_HD_V01.62  Page 12 of 39  2006-08-21 SOS 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.

Operating Modes The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following chapters.   Table 5: Overview of operating modes GSM / GPRS SLEEP Tbd. GSM IDLE  Software is active. Once registered to the GSM network, paging with BTS is carried out. The module is ready to send and receive. GSM DATA  Connection between two subscribers is in progress. Power consumption depends on network coverage individual settings. GPRS IDLE EGPRS IDLE Module is ready for GPRS/EGPRS data transfer, but no data is currently sent or received. Power consumption depends on network settings and GPRS/EGPRS configuration (e.g. multislot settings). GPRS DATA EGPRS DATA GPRS/EGPRS data transfer in progress.

HMS1 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary  s HMS1_HD_V01.62  Page 19 of 39  2006-08-21 3.2. Power Supply HMS1 needs to be connected to a power supply at the B2B connector (5 pins each BATT+ and GND).   The power supply of HMS1 has to be a single voltage source at BATT+. It must be able to provide the peak current during the GSM 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 GSM / UMTS baseband using low drop linear 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 voltage is not available in Power-down mode. •  SIM switch to provide SIM power supply.   3.2.1. Minimizing Power Losses When designing the power supply for your application please pay specific attention to power losses. Ensure that the input voltage VBATT+ never drops below 3.3V on the HMS1  board, not even in a GSM transmit burst where current consumption can rise to typical peaks of 2A. It should be noted that HMS1  switches off when exceeding these limits. Any voltage drops that may occur in a transmit burst should not exceed 400mV.  In IDLE and SLEEP mode, the module switches off if the minimum battery voltage (Vbattmin) is reached.  Example:  VImin = 3.3V Dmax = 0.4V  Vbattmin = VImin + Dmax Vbattmin = 3.3V + 0.4V = 3.7V  The best approach to reducing voltage drops is to use a board-to-board connection as recommended, and a low impedance power source. The resistance of the power supply lines on the host board and of a battery pack should also be considered.  Note:  If the application design requires an adapter cable between both board-to-board connectors, use a flex cable as short as possible in order to minimize power losses.
HMS1 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary  s HMS1_HD_V01.62  Page 20 of 39  2006-08-21 Example:  If the length of the flex cable reaches the maximum length of 100mm, this connection may cause, for example, a resistance of 30mΩ in the BATT+ line and 30mΩ in the GND line. As a result, a 2A transmit burst would add up to a total voltage drop of 120mV. Plus, if a battery pack is involved, further losses may occur due to the resistance across the battery lines and the internal resistance of the battery including its protection circuit.   Figure 3: Power supply limits during transmit burst  3.3.  Power-Up / Power-Down Scenarios In general, be sure not to turn on HMS1 while it is beyond the safety limits of voltage and temperature. HMS1 would immediately switch off after having started and detected these inappropriate conditions. In extreme cases this can cause permanent damage to the module.    3.3.1. Turn on HMS1 When the HMS1 module is in Power-down mode, it can be started to Normal mode or Airplane mode by driving the IGT (ignition) line to ground. This must be accomplished with an open drain/collector driver to avoid current flowing into this pin.    3.3.1.1.  Reset or Turn off HMS1 in Case of Emergency Caution: Use the EMERG_RST pin only when, due to serious problems, the software is not responding for more than 5 seconds. Pulling the EMERG_RST pin causes the loss of all information stored in the volatile memory. Therefore, this procedure is intended only for use in case of emergency, e.g. if HMS1 does not respond, if reset or shutdown via AT command fails.  The EMERG_RST signal is available on the application interface.   3.3.2.  Turn off HMS1 HMS1 can be turned off by Normal shutdown: Software controlled by AT command. Be sure not to disconnect the supply voltage VBATT+. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data.  Transmit burst 2ATransmit burst 2ARippleDropmin. 3.3VBATT+
HMS1 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary  s HMS1_HD_V01.62  Page 21 of 39  2006-08-21 3.4. Power Saving Intended for power saving, SLEEP mode reduces the functionality of the HMS1 to a minimum and thus minimizes the current consumption.  The different sleep modes will be specified later.   3.5. RTC Backup The internal Real Time Clock of HMS1 is supplied from a separate voltage regulator in the analog controller which is also active when HMS1 is in POWER DOWN status.   In addition, you can use the VDDLP pin on the board-to-board connector to backup the RTC from an external capacitor or a battery (rechargeable or non-chargeable). The capacitor or battery is charged by the power management controller of HMS1. If the voltage supply at BATT+ is disconnected, the RTC can be powered by the capacitor or battery. The size of the capacitor determines the duration of buffering when no voltage is applied to HMS1, i.e. the larger the capacitor the longer HMS1 will save the date and time.    3.6. USIM Interface The base band processor has an integrated SIM interface compatible with the 34.121 USIM Testing IC Card standard. This is wired to an integrated SIM card holder. The USIM interface supports 3V and 1.8V USIM cards.   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 a SIM card during operation.  3.7. USB Interface HMS1 supports a USB 1.1 Full Speed (12Mbit/s) device interface. The USB interface is the recommended communication interface for high speed data transmission.  To properly connect the module’s USB interface to the host a USB 2.0 full speed compatible connector is required. The HMS1 distribution contains the suitable USB driver to operate HMS1 over USB. It is recommended to use this drive.  The USB host is responsible for supplying, across the VUSB_IN line, power to the module’s USB interface, but not to other HMS1 interfaces. This is because HMS1 is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 1.1” (The specification is ready for download on http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/).
HMS1 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary  s HMS1_HD_V01.62  Page 22 of 39  2006-08-21 3.8.  Control Signals  Several control lines are signaling the states of the HMS1 module or control the module. These states are power down, stand by, paging, GSM voice call, GSM data call, UMTS voice call, UMTS data call or HSDPA connection.   3.8.1. PWR_IND Signal PWR_IND notifies the on/off state of the module. High state of PWR_IND indicates that the module is switched off. The state of PWR_IND immediately changes to low when IGT is pulled low. For state detection an external pull-up resistor is required.  3.8.2. Status Signals Two status signals (GREEN, BLUE) are provided for signaling the module’s connectivity status:  •  When searching for a network the signal 1 (GREEN) alternates at 2Hz •  When registered with a GSM network signal 1 is active •  When registered with a WCDMA network signal 2 (BLUE) goes active, signal 1 inactive
HMS1 Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Preliminary  s HMS1_HD_V01.62  Page 23 of 39  2006-08-21 4. Antenna Interface The RF interface has an impedance of 50Ω. HMS1 is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna connector or pad without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power.   The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radiated power, DC-power consumption, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Antenna matching networks are not included on the HMS1 PCB and should be placed in the host application.   The connection of the antenna or other equipment must be decoupled from DC voltage. This is necessary because the antenna connector is DC coupled to ground via an inductor for ESD protection.   4.1. Antenna Installation To suit application requirements the HMS1 module adapts an internal antenna from Skycross that is connected to the two antenna pads:    Figure 4: Internal antenna for HMS   4.1.1. Test Antenna For production and type approval test the HMS1 module also provides a subminiature coaxial switch from Hirose Ltd. The product name is:  MS-156NB  For detailed specifications and latest product information please contact your Hirose dealer or visit the Hirose home page, for example http://www.hirose.com.

Electrostatic Discharge The HSDPA engine is not protected against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) in general. Consequently, it is subject to ESD handling precautions that typically apply to ESD sensitive components. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation of any application that incorporates a HMS1 module.  Special ESD protection provided on HMS1: •  Antenna interface: one discharge circuit •  SIM interface: serial resistor, clamp diodes for protection against over voltage.  •  The remaining parts of HMS1 are not accessible to the user of the final product (since they are installed within the device) and therefore, are only protected according to the “Human Body Model” requirements.  HMS1 has been tested according to the EN 61000-4-2 standard. The measured values can be gathered from the following table.  Table 14: Measured electrostatic values Specification / Requirements  Contact discharge  Air discharge CE ETS 300342-1 (June 1997) ESD at SIM port  ± 4kV  ± 8kV ESD at antenna port  ± 4kV  ± 8kV ESD at 3.6V in, GND  ± 4kV  ± 8kV Human Body Model (Test conditions: 1.5kΩ, 100pF) ESD at SIM port  ± 8kV  ± 15kV ESD at antenna port  ± 8kV  ± 15kV ESD at 3.6V in, GND  ± 8kV  ± 15kV   Note:  Please note that the values may vary with the individual application design. For example, it matters whether or not the application platform is grounded over external devices like a computer or other equipment, such as the Siemens reference application described in Chapter 7.
