Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and op-erating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the prod-uct. 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 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.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.

Cinterion® PLS8-US R3 Hardware Interface Overview3.2 Power Supply27PLS8-USR3_HIO_v03.012 2015-10-13Confidential / ReleasedPage 21 of 413.2 Power SupplyPLS8-US R3 needs to be connected to a power supply at the SMT application interface - 4 lines BATT+, and GND. There are two separate voltage domains for BATT+:• BATT+_RF with 2 lines for the RF power amplifier supply • BATT+ with 2 lines for the general power management. The main power supply from an external application has to be a single voltage source and has to be expanded to two sub paths (star structure). Each voltage domain must be decoupled by application with low ESR capacitors (> 47µF MLCC @ BATT+; > 4x47µF MLCC @ BATT+_RF) as close as possible to LGA pads. Figure 2 shows a sample circuit for decoupling capacitors for BATT+.Figure 2: Decoupling capacitor(s) for BATT+The power supply of PLS8-US R3 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.• LDO to provide SIM power supply.BATT+22Decoupling capacitorse.g. 47µF X5R MLCC4xGNDBATT+BATT+_RFModuleSMT interface 1x

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). PLS8-US R3 is designed for use as a DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE connec-tions 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 4: 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 configured to send pulses to the host application, for exampleto remotely wake up the application from power saving state. See [1] for details on how toconfigure the RING0 line by AT^SCFG.• Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. • ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 115200bps up to 921600bps.• Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control.• Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation.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.

Cinterion® PLS8-US R3 Hardware Interface Overview3.5 UICC/SIM/USIM Interface27PLS8-USR3_HIO_v03.012 2015-10-13Confidential / ReleasedPage 24 of 413.5 UICC/SIM/USIM InterfacePLS8-US R3 has two integrated 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 SIM two interfaces. The UICC/SIM/USIM interfaces support 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 PLS8-US R3 and is part of the Gemalto M2M reference equipment sub-mitted 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 PLS8-US R3.Table 8: Signals of the SIM interface (SMT application interface)Signal DescriptionGND Ground connection for SIM interfaces.

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 PLS8-US R3.

The GNSS receiver is able to continuously track all satellites in view, thus providing accurate satellite position data.The integrated GNSS 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 GNSS 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 stillknowledge of its last position, time and almanac or has still access to valid ephimeris data andthe precise time. By default, the GNSS receiver is switched off. It has to be switched on and configured using ATcommands. For more information on how to control the GNSS interface via the AT commands see [1].

The interface has an impedance of 50. PLS8-US R3 is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna interface without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power.The external antennas must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radi-ated power, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Matching networks are not in-cluded on the PLS8-US R3 PCB and should be placed in the host application, if the antenna does not have an impedance of 50.Regarding the return loss PLS8-US R3 provides the following values in the active band:1. By delivery default the UMTS/LTE Rx diversity/MIMO antenna is configured as available for the modulesince its usage is mandatory for LTE.

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 PLS8-US R3‘s antenna pad.

The GNSS pad itself is the same as for the RF antenna interface (see Section 5.1.1).It is possible to connect active or passive GNSS antennas. In either case they must have 50 impedance. The simultaneous operation of GSM and GNSS is implemented. PLS8-US R3 provides the supply voltage VGNSS for the GNSS active antenna (3.05V). It has to be enabled by software when the GNSS receiver becomes active, otherwise VGNSS should be off (power saving). VGNSS is not short circuit protected. This will have to be provided for by an external application. The DC voltage should be fed back via ANT_GNSS_DC for coupling into the GNSS antenna path. Figure 7 shows the flexibility in realizing the power supply for an active GNSS antenna by giving two sample circuits realizing the supply voltage for an active GNSS antenna - one with short circuit protection and one with an external LDO employed.Figure 7: Supply voltage for active GNSS antennaShort circuit protection(Imax=50mA)VGNSSANT_GNSSActive GNSS antenna10nH100nFTo GNSS receiverModuleSMT interfaceANT_GNSS_DCtyp 3.05V max. 50mANot short circuit protected!1uF(Optional)ESDprotection10kSupply with short circuit protectionLDOVGNSSANT_GNSSActive GNSS antenna10nH100nFTo GNSS receiverModuleSMT interfaceANT_GNSS_DC1uF(Optional)ESDprotection10kEnableExternal voltageSupply with external LDO employed

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 PLS8-US R3 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.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 for an individual application is very much determined by the overall layout and, especially, the po-sition of components. Some LGA pads are connected to clocks or high speed data streams that might interfere with the module’s antenna. The RF receiver would then be blocked at certain frequencies (self in-terference). The external application’s PCB tracks connected to these pads should therefore be well shielded or kept away from the antenna. This applies especially to the USB and UICC/SIM interfaces.Disclaimer:No warranty, either stated or implied, is provided on the sample schematic diagram shown in Figure 11 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 PLS8-US R3 modules.
