Interface Characteristics
PDS8 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
PDS8 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 external application is responsible for supplying the VUSB_IN line. This line is used for ca-
ble detection only. The USB part (driver and transceiver) is supplied by means of BATT+. This
is because PDS8 is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Uni-
versal Serial
Bus Specification Revision 2.0”1.

) and pull-up resistors for data lines are implemented.
2)
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 2: USB circuit
To properly connect the module's USB interface to the external application, a USB 2.0 compat-
ible connector and cable or hardware design is required. Furthermore, the USB modem driver
distributed with PDS8 needs to be installed.

2.1.2
Serial Interface ASC0
PDS8 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).
PDS8 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
Features:
Figure 3: Serial interface ASC0
•
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.
•
By default configured to the setting 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 Application Interface
Page 12 of 35
2.1.3
UICC/SIM/USIM Interface
PDS8 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 PDS8 and is part of the Gemalto M2M reference equipment
submitted for
type approval. See Section 7.1 for Molex ordering numbers.
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
PDS8.
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 PDS8.

The total cable length between the SMT application interface pads on PDS8 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.

2.1.4
Digital Audio Interface
PDS8‘s digital audio interface (DAI) can be used to connect audio devices capable
of pulse
code modulation (PCM).
2.1.5
GPIO Interface
PDS8 offers a GPIO interface with 8 GPIO lines. The GPIO lines are shared with
other
interfaces or functions: Fast shutdown (see Section 2.1.11.4), the PWM functionality (see
Section 2.1.9), an pulse counter (see Section 2.1.10).
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 fast shutdown line is locked for alternative
usage as GPIO.

2.1.6
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 PDS8. 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.
2.1.7
SPI Interface
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial interface for control and data
transfer between PDS8 and the external 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.

2.1.8
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
ADC1_IN is used for general purpose voltage measurements. ADC1_IN can be configured and
read by AT command - see [1].
2.1.9
PWM 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 2.1.5). 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 2.1.5).
2.1.11
Control Signals
2.1.11.1
Network Connectivity
The STATUS line serves to indicate the module’s network connectivity state and can be used
to control an externally connected LED.
2.1.11.2
Power Indication Signal
The power indication signal PWR_IND notifies the on/off state of the module. High state of
PWR_IND indicates that the module is switched off.
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 either the RING0 or the
GPIO4 line configured as H_WAKEUP 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 TBD.
milliseconds. If unused this line can be left open because of a configured internal pull-up
resistor.

The RF interface has an impedance of 50. PDS8 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 PDS8 module and should be placed in the host application if
the antenna
does not have an impedance of 50.
Regarding the return loss PDS8 provides the following values in the active band:
Table 3: Return loss in the active band
State of module Return loss of module Recommended return loss of application
Receive > 8dB > 12dB
Transmit not applicable > 12dB
2.2.1 Antenna Installation
The antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pad (ANT_GSM) and their neighboring
ground pads directly to the application’s PCB.
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 anten-
na 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 con-
nection line using embedded Stripline rather than Micro-Stripline technology.
For type approval purposes, the use of a 50coaxial 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 PDS8‘s antenna pad.

3.2
Power Supply
PDS8 needs to be connected to a power supply at the SMT application interface
- 6 lines BATT+, and GND. There are two separate voltage domains for BATT+:
•
BATT+BB with a line for the general power management.
•
BATT+RF with a line for the GSM power amplifier supply.
Please note that throughout the document BATT+ refers to both voltage domains and power
supply lines - BATT+BB and BATT+RF.
The power supply of PDS8 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
Page 32 of 35
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 PDS8. 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. Gemalto M2M assumes no liability for customer’s fail-
ure 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.
