This requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable PH8/PH8-P 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 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.

Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and oper-ating 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. 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 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 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 electri-cal 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.
PH8/PH8-P Hardware Interface Overview1.3 Regulatory and Type Approval Information14PH8_PH8-P_HD_v02.000 Page 14 of 46 2011-10-21Confidential / Released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.Bear in mind that exposure to excessive levels of noise can cause physical damage to users! With regard to acoustic shock, the cellular application must be designed to avoid unintentional increase of amplification, e.g. for a highly sensitive earpiece. A pro-tection circuit should be implemented in the cellular application.

Operating volt-age (connected to BATT+) remains applied.Airplane modeAirplane 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]).
PH8/PH8-P Hardware Interface Overview3.2 Power Supply28PH8_PH8-P_HD_v02.000 Page 21 of 46 2011-10-21Confidential / Released3.2 Power SupplyPH8/PH8-P needs to be connected to a power supply at the board-to-board connector - 5 lines each BATT+ and GND. The power supply of PH8/PH8-P has to be a single voltage source at BATT+. It 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 lin-ear 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. This voltageis not available in Power-down mode and can be reduced via AT command to save power.• SIM switch to provide SIM power supply.
PH8/PH8-P Hardware Interface Overview3.3 USB Interface28PH8_PH8-P_HD_v02.000 Page 22 of 46 2011-10-21Confidential / Released3.3 USB InterfacePH8/PH8-P 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 PH8/PH8-P is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the “Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0”1.Figure 2: USB circuitTo 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 PH8/PH8-P needs to be in-stalled.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 (see “Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0“1 for a description of the Suspend state). On incoming calls PH8/PH8-P will then generate a remote wake up request to resume the USB connection (active low). If configured for SDPORT=6, i.e., if using a CDC ACM compatible USB driver on the host system, a selective suspend on the USB host may not be supported and the module may therefore not be able to change into SLEEP mode.As an alternative to the regular USB remote wakeup mechanism it is possible to employ the RING0 or WAKEUP line to wake up the host application. The benefit is that the RING0 or WAKEUP lines can wake up the host application in case of incoming calls or other events sig-nalized by URCs while the USB interface is suspended or shut down. 1.

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). PH8/PH8-P 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 lineFigure 3: Serial interface ASC0Features:• 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 (UnsolicitedResult Code). It can also be used to send pulses to the host application, for example towake up the application from power saving state. See [1] for details on how to configure theRING0 line by AT^SCFG.• Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. • ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 9600bps up to 921600bps.• Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control.• Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation (high to low transition). Note. If the ASC0 serial interface is the application’s only interface, it is suggested to connect test points on the USB signal lines as a potential tracing possibility.

This is wired to the host interface in order to be connected to an external SIM card holder. Six pins on the board-to-board connector 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 PH8/PH8-P and is part of the Cinterion reference equipment submitted for type approval. See Chapter 9 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 PH8/PH8-P.Table 9: Signals of the SIM interface (board-to-board connector)Signal DescriptionCCGND Separate ground connection for SIM card to improve EMC.Be sure to use this ground line for the SIM interface rather than any other ground line or plane on the module.CCCLK Chipcard clockCCVCC SIM supply voltage.CCIO Serial data line, input and output.CCRST Chipcard resetCCIN Input on the baseband processor for detecting a SIM card tray in the holder.

A supply voltage and an analog ground connection are provided at dedicated lines.PH8/PH8-P offers eight audio modes which can be selected with the AT^SNFS command. The electrical characteristics of the voiceband part vary with the audio mode. For example, sending and receiving amplification, sidetone paths, noise suppression etc. depend on the selected mode and can in parts be altered with AT commands (except for mode 1).When shipped from factory, all audio parameters of PH8/PH8-P are set to audio mode 1. This is the default configuration optimised for the Votronic HH-SI-30.3/V1.1/0 handset and used for type approving the Cinterion Wireless Modules reference configuration. Audio mode 1 has fix parameters which cannot be modified. To adjust the settings of the Votronic handset simply change to another audio mode.3.7 Digital Audio InterfacePH8/PH8-P supports a digital audio interface that can be employed either as pulse code mod-ulation or as inter IC sound interface. Operation of these interface variants is mutually exclu-sive.

The GPS receiver is able to continuously track all satellites in view, thus providing accurate satellite position data. The integrated GPS receiver supports the NMEA protocol via USB or ASC0 interface. NMEA is a combined electrical and data specification for communication between various (marine) electronic devices including GPS receivers. It has been defined and controlled by the US-based National Marine Electronics Association. For more information on the NMEA Standard please refer to http://www.nmea.org.Depending on the receiver’s knowledge of last position, current time and ephemeris data, the receiver’s startup time (i.e., TTFF = Time-To-First-Fix) may vary: If the receiver has no knowl-edge of its last position or time, a startup takes considerably longer than if the receiver has still knowledge of its last position, time and almanac or has still access to valid ephimeris data and the precise time. By default, the GPS receiver is switched off. It has to be switched on and configured using AT commands. For more information on how to control the GPS interface via the AT command AT^SGPSC see [1].

The inter-face has an impedance of 50Ω. PH8/PH8-P is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna interface 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, DC-power consumption, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Match-ing networks are not included on the PH8/PH8-P PCB and should be placed in the host application, if the antenna does not have an impendance of 50Ω.Regarding the return loss PH8/PH8-P provides the following values in the active band: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.5.1.1 Antenna InstallationThe U.FL antenna connector from Hirose/Molex of the main GSM/UMTS antenna has been chosen as antenna reference point (ARP) for the Cinterion Wireless Modules reference equip-ment submitted to type approve PH8/PH8-P. See Section 5.1.2 for details. All RF data specified throughout this manual is related to the ARP. The positions of the module’s antenna connectors can be seen in Figure 9.1. By delivery default the optional UMTS Rx diversity antenna is configured as available for the module. Toavoid negative side effects and performance degradation it is recommended to disable the diversity an-tenna path if - the host application does not support a diversity antenna- the host application includes a diversity antenna - but a 3G network simulator is used for developmentand performance tests.Please refer to [1] for details on how to configure antenna settings.

An efficient approach is to mount the PH8/PH8-P PCB to a frame, plate, rack or chassis. Fasteners can be M2 screws plus suitable washers, circuit board spacers, or customized screws, clamps, or brackets. In addition, the board-to-board connection can also be utilized to achieve better support. For proper grounding it is strongly recommended to use large ground plane on the bottom of board in addition to the five GND pins of the board-to-board connector. The ground plane may also be used to attach cooling elements, e.g. a heat sink or thermally conductive tape.To prevent mechanical damage, be careful not to force, bend or twist the module. Be sure it is positioned flat against the host device. 6.3 Board-to-Board Application ConnectorThis section provides the specifications of the 80-pin board-to-board connector used to connect PH8/PH8-P to the external application.Connector mounted on the PH8/PH8-P module:Type: 52991-0808 SlimStack Receptacle 80 pins, 0.50mm pitch, for stacking heights of3.0 or 4.0mm, see Figure 12 for details.Supplier: Molex, http//www.molex.com

The audio interface demonstrates the balanced connection of microphone and earpiece. This solution is particularly well suited for internal transducers.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 PH8/PH8-P 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 mod-ule circuit, for example reverse current from high state external control lines. Therefore, the controlling application must be designed to prevent reverse flow. If an external level controller is required, this can be done by using for example a 5V I/O tolerant buffer/driver like a "74AVC4T245" with OE (Output Enable) controlled by PWR_IND.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. Disclaimer:No warranty, either stated or implied, is provided on the sample schematic diagram shown in Figure 14 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 PH8/PH8-P modules.
