The SMT application interface incorporates the various application interfaces as well as the RF antenna interface. 2.1 Application Interface2.1.1 USB InterfacePLS62-W 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 PLS62-W 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 external application, a USB 2.0 compat-ible connector and cable or hardware design is required. Furthermore, the USB modem driver distributed with PLS62-W needs to be installed.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). PLS62-W 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.• 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. • Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. • ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1,200bps up to 921,600bps.• Autobauding supports bit rates from 1,200bps up to 230,400bps.• Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control. The hardware hand shake line RTS0 has aninternal 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 onlyRXD and TXD lines.• Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation.

Cinterion® PLS62-W Hardware Interface Overview2.1 Application Interface28PLS62-W_hio_v00.080 2017-10-12Confidential / PreliminaryPage 15 of 462.1.4 UICC/SIM/USIM InterfacePLS62-W has two UICC/SIM/USIM interfaces compatible with the 3GPP 31.102 and ETSI 102 221. These are 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 each of the two SIM inter-faces.The UICC/SIM/USIM interface supports 3V and 1.8V SIM cards. The CCINx signal serves to detect whether a tray (with SIM card) is present in the card holder. Using the CCINx 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 operation. 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 tested to operate with PLS62-W and is part of the Gemalto M2M reference equipment submit-ted for type approval. See Chapter 7 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 PLS62-W.By default, only the module’s 1st SIM interface is available and can be used. Using SIM_SWITCH line it is possible to switch between the two SIM interfaces (see Section 2.1.4.1). Table 1:  Signals of the SIM interface (SMT application interface)Signal DescriptionGND Ground connection for SIM interfaces. Optionally a separate SIM ground line using e.g., pad P12, may be used to improve EMC.CCCLK1CCCLK2Chipcard clock lines for 1st and 2nd SIM interface.CCVCC1CCVCC2SIM supply voltage lines for 1st and 2nd SIM interface.CCIO1CCIO2Serial data lines for 1st and 2nd SIM interface, input and output.CCRST1CCRST2Chipcard reset lines for 1st and 2nd SIM interface.CCIN1CCIN2Input 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 CCINx signal is active low.The CCINx signal is mandatory for applications that allow the user to remove the SIM card during operation. The CCINx 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 PLS62-W.
Cinterion® PLS62-W Hardware Interface Overview2.1 Application Interface28PLS62-W_hio_v00.080 2017-10-12Confidential / PreliminaryPage 16 of 46Figure 5:  UICC/SIM/USIM interfacesThe total cable length between the SMT application interface pads on PLS62-W 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 CCCLKx signal to the CCIOx signal be careful that both lines are not placed closely next to each other. A useful approach is using the GND line to shield the CCIOx line from the CCCLKx line.2.1.4.1 SIM Card Interface SwitchUsing the SIM_SWITCH line allows to switch between two SIM card interfaces. The usage of both interfaces is mutually exclusive. The GPIO26 line can be configured as SIM_SWITCH by means of AT-Command. If set to low, the 1st SIM card interface will be used, if set to high the 2nd SIM card interface will be used.The configuration of the SIM_SWITCH line is done via AT command, is non-volatile, and avail-able after the next module restart.Moduleopen: Card removedclosed: Card insertedCCRSTxCCVCCxCCIOxCCCLKxCCINxSIM /UICC1n220nSMT application interfaceGND

The GPIO lines are shared with otherinterfaces or functions: Fast shutdown (see Section 2.1.10.1), status LED (see Section 2.1.10),the PWM functionality (see Section 2.1.8), an pulse counter (see Section 2.1.9), ASC0 (seeSection 2.1.2), ASC1 (see Section 2.1.3), an SPI interface (see Section 2.1.7). 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.After startup, the above mentioned alternative GPIO line assignments can be configured usingAT commands (see [1]). The configuration is non-volatile and available after module restart.Table 2:  GPIO lines and possible alternative assignmentGPIO Fast Shutdown Status LED PWM Pulse Counter ASC0 ASC1 SPI SIM SWITCHGPIO1 DTR0GPIO2 DCD0GPIO3 DSR0 SPI_CLKGPIO4 FST_SHDNGPIO5 Status LEDGPIO6 PWM2GPIO7 PWM1GPIO8 COUNTERGPIO11GPIO12GPIO13GPIO14GPIO15GPIO16 RXD1 SPI_MOSIGPIO17 TXD1 SPI_MISOGPIO18 RTS1GPIO19 CTS1 SPI_CSGPIO20GPIO21GPIO22GPIO23GPIO24 RING0GPIO25GPIO26 SIM_SWITCH

It con-sists of two lines, the serial data line I2CDAT and the serial clock line I2CCLK. The module actsas 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 onrequest of the module.The I2C interface can be powered via the V180 line of PLS62-W. 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: Thetraces of I2CCLK and I2CDAT should be equal in length and as short as possible.2.1.7 SPI InterfaceFour PLS62-W GPIO interface lines can be configured as Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). TheSPI is a synchronous serial interface for control and data transfer between PLS62-W and theexternal application. Only one application can be connected to the SPI and the interface sup-ports only master mode. The transmission rates are up to 6.5Mbit/s. The SPI interface compris-es the two data lines SPI_MOSI and SPI_MISO, the clock line SPI_CLK a well as the chipselect line SPI_CS.2.1.8 PWM InterfacesThe GPIO6 and GPIO7 interface lines can be configured as Pulse Width Modulation interfacelines PWM1 and PWM2. The PWM interface lines can be used, for example, to connect buzz-ers. The PWM1 line is shared with GPIO7 and the PWM2 line is shared with GPIO6 (for GPIOssee Section 2.1.5). GPIO and PWM functionality are mutually exclusive.2.1.9 Pulse CounterThe 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).2.1.10 Status LEDThe GPIO5 interface line can be configured to drive a status LED that indicates different oper-ating modes of the module (for GPIOs see Section 2.1.5).

The con-figured FST_SHDN line is an active low control signal and must be applied for at least 1 milli-seconds. If unused this line can be left open because of a configured internal pull-up resistor. 2.1.11 700MHz Antenna Switch ControlTo provide for an antenna optimization over a wide frequency range, the ANT_SWITCH line may act as a control signal for a possible external antenna switch that is able to change between an antenna covering the 700MHz band and an antenna covering all other bands - depending on the frequency band currently being used by the module. The ANT_SWITCH line is set to "high" (1) if the module is employing frequencies in the 700 MHz range (i.e., LTE band 17) and "low" (0) for all other frequencies, including the 800/850 MHz frequency bands. The ANT_SWITCH signal is triggered by all module internal activities involving a change of the used frequency, even if only temporary (e.g., inter-band scanning using compressed mode). The maximum delay/deviation between internal usage change of the frequency band, and the GPIO2 signal change is 10 microseconds. 2.1.12 TX Activity SignalThe TX_ACTIVITY line indicates any 2G/3G/4G TX activity of the module, meaning a high level on this line signals that the module is transmitting data.

The RF interface has an impedance of 50Ω. PLS62-W 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 PLS62-W module and should be placed in the host application if the anten-na does not have an impedance of 50Ω.Regarding the return loss PLS62-W provides the following values in the active band:1.  By delivery default the UMTS/LTE Rx diversity antenna is configured as available for the module sinceits usage is mandatory for LTE. Please refer to [1] for details on how to configure antenna settings.Table 3:  Return loss in the active bandState of module Return loss of module Recommended return loss of applicationReceive > 8dB > 12dBTransmit not applicable  > 12dB

To prevent mismatch, special attention should be paid to thesepads 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 tobe optimized with regard to the PCB’s layer stack. To prevent receiver desensitization due to interferences generated by fast transients like highspeed 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 50 coaxial antenna connector (U.FL-R-SMT) mightbe necessary. In this case the U.FL-R-SMT connector should be placed as close as possibleto PLS62-W‘s antenna pad.2.2.2 RF Line Routing Design2.2.2.1 Line Arrangement ExamplesSeveral dedicated tools are available to calculate line arrangements for specific applicationsand PCB materials - for example from http://www.polarinstruments.com/ (commercial software)or  from http://web.awrcorp.com/Usa/Products/Optional-Products/TX-Line/  (free software).Embedded StriplineThis figure below shows a line arrangement example for embedded stripline with 65µm FR4 prepreg (type: 1080) and 710µm FR4 core (4-layer PCB).Figure 6:  Embedded Stripline with 65µm prepreg (1080) and 710µm core

Cinterion® PLS62-W Hardware Interface Overview2.3 Sample Application28PLS62-W_hio_v00.080 2017-10-12Confidential / PreliminaryPage 27 of 462.3 Sample ApplicationFigure 13 shows a typical example of how to integrate a PLS62-W module with an application.Usage 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 intothe module circuit must be avoided, for example reverse current from high state external controllines. 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 oreven of damaging the module.Because of the high RF field density inside the module, it cannot be guaranteed that no selfinterference might occur, depending on frequency and the applications grounding concept. Thepotential 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 pointsfor certain signals, i.e., 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 onhow to implement test points see [3].The EMC measures are best practice recommendations. In fact, an adequate EMC strategy foran individual application is very much determined by the overall layout and, especially, the po-sition of components.  Note: PLS62-W is not intended for use with cables longer than 3m.DisclaimerNo warranty, either stated or implied, is provided on the sample schematic diagram shown inFigure 13 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 operatingsafeguards for their products using PLS62-W modules.

Cinterion® PLS62-W Hardware Interface Overview6.4 Safety Precaution Notes43PLS62-W_hio_v00.080 2017-10-12Confidential / PreliminaryPage 43 of 466.4 Safety Precaution NotesThe following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating PLS62-W. 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. 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.
