5. Hardware Commands
5.1. Auto-Turning ON the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3
To Auto-turn on the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3, the power supply must be applied on the
power pins VBATT and VBATT_PA, after 1000 m-seconds, the V_AUX / PWRMON pin
will be at the high logic level and the module can be considered fully operating.
When the power supply voltage is between 3.22V and 3.4V, after 5000 m-seconds, the
V_AUX / PWRMON pin will be at the high logic level and the module can be considered
fully operating.

NOTE:
The power supply must be applied either at the same time on pins VBATT and VBATT_PA,
or first applied on VBATT_PA and then on VBATT. The opposite sequence shall be avoided.
The reverse procedure applies for powering down the module: first disconnect VBATT, then
VBATT_PA, or both at once.
NOTE:
In order to prevent a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic
level signal applied to the digital pins of the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 when the module is
powered OFF or during an ON/OFF transition.

5.2. Turning OFF the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3
Turning off of the device can be done in two ways:
• General turn OFF
• Processor turn OFF
General turn OFF – disconnect the power supply from the both power pins VBATT and
VBATT_PA at the same time. In this case all parts of the module are in OFF condition, no
power consumption is present.
Processor turn OFF – disconnect the power supply only from the power pin VBATT, the
power pin VBATT_PA can be connected to power supply, in this case a low, about 30uA,
power consumption is present
Before either of both OFF procedures is applied, the AT#SYSHALT AT command must be
sent (see AT Commands Reference Guide, 80000ST10025a), after the OK response message,
wait for 10 seconds, then the module can be consider fully not operating and at this moment is
possible disconnect the Power Supply.

5.3. Resetting the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3
5.3.1. Hardware Unconditional restart
WARNING:
The hardware unconditional Restart must not be used during normal operation of the device
since it does not detach the device from the network. It shall be kept as an emergency exit
procedure to be done in the rare case that the device gets stuck waiting for some network or
SIM responses.
To unconditionally reboot the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3, the pad RESET* must be tied low
for at least 200 milliseconds and then released.
The maximum current that can be drained from the ON* pad is 0,15 mA.
NOTE:
Do not use any pull up resistor on the RESET* line nor any totem pole digital output. Using
pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 power
regulator and improper functioning of the module. The line RESET* must be connected only
in open collector configuration; the transistor must be connected as close as possible to the
RESET* pin.
TIP:
The unconditional hardware restart must always be implemented on the boards and the
software must use it as an emergency exit procedure.
A simple circuit to do it is:

6. Power Supply
The power supply circuitry and board layout are a very important part in the full product
design and they strongly reflect on the product overall performance, hence read the
requirements carefully and the guidelines that will follow for a proper design.
6.1. Power Supply Requirements
The external power supply must be connected to VBATT & VBATT_PA signals and must
fulfill the following requirements:
POWER SUPPLY
Nominal Supply Voltage
3.8 V
Normal Operating Voltage Range
3.40 V÷ 4.20 V
Extended Operating Voltage Range
3.10 V÷ 4.50 V
NOTE:
The Operating Voltage Range MUST never be exceeded; care must be taken when designing
the application’s power supply section to avoid having an excessive voltage drop.
If the voltage drop is exceeding the limits it could cause a Power Off of the module.
The Power supply must be higher than 3.22 V to power on the module.
NOTE:
Overshoot voltage (regarding MAX Extended Operating Voltage) and drop in voltage
(regarding MIN Extended Operating Voltage) MUST never be exceeded;
The “Extended Operating Voltage Range” can be used only with complete assumption and
application of the HW User guide suggestions.
NOTE:
When the power supply voltage is between 3.22V and 3.4V, after 5000 m-seconds, the
V_AUX / PWRMON pin will be at the high logic level and the module can be consider fully
operating. See Par. 5.1.

The GSM system is made in a way that the RF transmission is not continuous, but it is packed
into bursts at a base frequency of approx. 217 Hz, and the relative current peaks can be as
high as about 2A. Therefore the power supply has to be designed to withstand these current
peaks without big voltage drops; this means that both the electrical design and the board
layout must be designed for this current flow.
If the layout of the PCB is not well designed a strong noise floor is generated on the ground
and the supply; this will reflect on all the audio paths producing an audible annoying noise at
approx. 217 Hz; if the voltage drop during the peak current absorption is too much, then the
device may even shutdown as a consequence of the supply voltage drop.
NOTE:
The electrical design for the Power supply should be made ensuring it will be capable of a
peak current output of at least 2 A.

6.3. General Design Rules
The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps:
• the electrical design
• the thermal design
• the PCB layout.
6.3.1. Electrical Design Guidelines
The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly on the power source from which
this power is drained. We will distinguish them into three categories:
• +5V input (typically PC internal regulator output)
• +12V input (typically automotive)
• Battery
6.3.1.1. + 5V input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines
• The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence there's not a big difference
between the input source and the desired output and a linear regulator can be used. A
switching power supply will not be suited because of the low drop out requirements.
• When using a linear regulator, a proper heat sink shall be provided in order to dissipate
the power generated.
• A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the
current absorption peaks close to the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3, a 100µF tantalum
capacitor is usually suited.
• Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually a tantalum one)
is rated at least 10V.
• A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order to save the
GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 from power polarity inversion.
An example of linear regulator with 5V input is:

Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2
6.3.1.2. + 12V input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines
• The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence due to the big difference
between the input source and the desired output, a linear regulator is not suited and
shall not be used. A switching power supply will be preferable because of its better
efficiency especially with the 2A peak current load represented by the GL865-
DUAL/QUAD V3.
• When using a switching regulator, a 500kHz or more switching frequency regulator is
preferable because of its smaller inductor size and its faster transient response. This
allows the regulator to respond quickly to the current peaks absorption.
• In any case the frequency and Switching design selection is related to the application
to be developed due to the fact the switching frequency could also generate EMC
interferences.
• For car PB battery the input voltage can rise up to 15,8V and this should be kept in
mind when choosing components: all components in the power supply must withstand
this voltage.
• A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the
current absorption peaks, a 100µF tantalum capacitor is usually suited.
• Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually a tantalum one)
is rated at least 10V.
• For Car applications a spike protection diode should be inserted close to the power
input, in order to clean the supply from spikes.
• A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order to save the
GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 from power polarity inversion. This can be the same diode
as for spike protection.
An example of switching regulator with 12V input is in the below schematic:

6.3.1.3. Battery Source Power Supply Design Guidelines
• The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V and the maximum voltage
allowed is 4.2V, hence a single 3.7V Li-Ion cell battery type is suited for supplying the
power to the Telit GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 module.
WARNING:
The three cells Ni/Cd or Ni/MH 3.6 V Nom. battery types or 4V PB types MUST NOT BE
USED DIRECTLY since their maximum voltage can rise over the absolute maximum voltage
for the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 and damage it.
NOTE:
DON'T USE any Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Pb battery types directly connected with GL865-
DUAL/QUAD V3. Their use can lead to overvoltage on the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 and
damage it. USE ONLY Li-Ion battery types.
• A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the
current absorption peaks, a 100µF tantalum capacitor is usually suited.
• Make sure the low ESR capacitor (usually a tantalum one) is rated at least 10V.
• A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order to save the
GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 from power polarity inversion. Otherwise the battery
connector should be done in a way to avoid polarity inversions when connecting the
battery.
• The battery capacity must be at least 500mAh in order to withstand the current peaks
of 2A; the suggested capacity is from 500mAh to 1000mAh.

6.3.2. Thermal Design Guidelines
The thermal design for the power supply heat sink should be done with the following
specifications:
See Par. 6.2 Power Consumption
NOTE:
The average consumption during transmissions depends on the power level at which the
device is requested to transmit by the network. The average current consumption hence varies
significantly.
Considering the very low current during idle, especially if Power Saving function is enabled,
it is possible to consider from the thermal point of view that the device absorbs current
significantly only during calls.
For the heat generated by the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3, you can consider it to be during
transmission 1W max during CSD/VOICE calls and 2W max during class10 GPRS upload.
This generated heat will be mostly conducted to the ground plane under the GL865-
DUAL/QUAD V3; you must ensure that your application can dissipate it.

Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2
6.3.3. Power Supply PCB layout Guidelines
As seen on the electrical design guidelines the power supply shall have a low ESR capacitor
on the output to cut the current peaks and a protection diode on the input to protect the supply
from spikes and polarity inversion. The placement of these components is crucial for the
correct working of the circuitry. A misplaced component can be useless or can even decrease
the power supply performance.
• The Bypass low ESR capacitor must be placed close to the Telit GL865-
DUAL/QUAD V3 power input pads or in the case the power supply is a switching
type it can be placed close to the inductor to cut the ripple provided the PCB trace
from the capacitor to the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 is wide enough to ensure a
dropless connection even during the 2A current peaks.
• The protection diode must be placed close to the input connector where the power
source is drained.
• The PCB traces from the input connector to the power regulator IC must be wide
enough to ensure no voltage drops occur when the 2A current peaks are absorbed.
Note that this is not made in order to save power loss but especially to avoid the
voltage drops on the power line at the current peaks frequency of approx. 217 Hz that
will reflect on all the components connected to that supply, introducing the noise floor
at the burst base frequency. For this reason while a voltage drop of 300-400 mV may
be acceptable from the power loss point of view, the same voltage drop may not be
acceptable from the noise point of view. If your application doesn't have audio
interface but only uses the data feature of the Telit GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3, then this
noise is not so disturbing and power supply layout design can be more forgiving.
• The PCB traces to the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 and the Bypass capacitor must be
wide enough to ensure no significant voltage drops occur when the 2A current peaks
are absorbed. This is for the same reason as previous point. Try to keep this trace as
short as possible.
• The PCB traces connecting the Switching output to the inductor and the switching
diode must be kept as short as possible by placing the inductor and the diode very
close to the power switching IC (only for switching power supply). This is done in
order to reduce the radiated field (noise) at the switching frequency (100-500 kHz
usually).
• The use of a good common ground plane is suggested.
• The placement of the power supply on the board should be done in such a way to
guarantee that the high current return paths in the ground plane are not overlapped to
any noise sensitive circuitry as the microphone amplifier/buffer or earphone amplifier.
• The power supply input cables should be kept separate from noise sensitive lines such
as microphone/earphone cables.

7. Antenna
The antenna connection and board layout design are the most important aspect in the full
product design as they strongly affect the product overall performance, hence read carefully
and follow the requirements and the guidelines for a proper design.
7.1. GSM Antenna Requirements
As suggested on the Product Description the antenna and antenna transmission line on PCB
for a Telit GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 device shall fulfill the following requirements:
ANTENNA REQUIREMENTS
Frequency range Depending by frequency band(s) provided by the network operator, the customer
shall use the most suitable antenna for that/those band(s)
Bandwidth 70 MHz in GSM850, 80 MHz in GSM900, 170 MHz in DCS & 140 MHz PCS
band
Impedance
50 Ohm
Input power
> 2 W
VSWR absolute max ≤ 10:1 (limit to avoid permanent damge)
VSWR recommended ≤ 2:1 (limit to fulfill all regulatory requirements)
Furthermore if the devices are developed for the US market and/or Canada market (GL865-
QUAD V3 variant only), they shall comply to the FCC and/or IC approval requirements:
Those devices are to be used only for mobile and fixed application. The antenna(s) used for
this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all
persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. End-Users must be provided with transmitter operation conditions for satisfying
RF exposure compliance. OEM integrators must ensure that the end user has no manual
instructions to remove or install the GL865-QUAD V3. Antennas used for those OEM
modules must not exceed 3dBi gain for mobile and fixed operating configurations.
7.1.1. GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 Antenna – PCB line Guidelines
When using the Telit GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 module, since there's no antenna connector
on the module, the antenna must be connected to the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 through the
PCB with the antenna pad (pin 34).
In the case that the antenna is not directly developed on the same PCB, hence directly
connected at the antenna pad of the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3, then a PCB line is needed in
order to connect with it or with its connector.

This transmission line shall fulfill the following requirements:
ANTENNA LINE ON PCB REQUIREMENTS
Impedance
50 ohm
Max Attenuation 0,3 dB
No coupling with other signals allowed
Cold End (Ground Plane) of antenna shall be equipotential to the
GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 ground pins
This transmission line should be designed according to the following guidelines:
• Ensure that the antenna line impedance is 50 ohm;
• Keep the antenna line on the PCB as short as possible, since the antenna line loss
shall be less than 0,3 dB;
• Antenna line must have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid
meanders and abrupt curves;
• Keep, if possible, one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane;
• Surround (on the sides, over and under) the antenna line on PCB with Ground, avoid
having other signal tracks facing directly the antenna line track;
• The ground around the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the
Ground Plane by placing vias every 2mm at least;
• Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 antenna
line;
• Keep the antenna line far away from the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 power supply
lines;
• If you have EM noisy devices around the PCB hosting the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3,
such as fast switching ICs, take care of the shielding of the antenna line by burying it
inside the layers of PCB and surround it with Ground planes, or shield it with a metal
frame cover.
• If you don't have EM noisy devices around the PCB of GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3, by
using a micro strip on the superficial copper layer for the antenna line, the line
attenuation will be lower than a buried one;

7.2. PCB Design Guidelines
This section explains the suggested design for the transmission line on the customer’s
application board.
7.2.1. Transmission line design
During the design of the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 interface board, the placement of
components has been chosen properly, in order to keep the line length as short as possible,
thus leading to lowest power losses possible. A Grounded Coplanar Waveguide (G-CPW) line
has been chosen, since this kind of transmission line ensures good impedance control and can
be implemented in an outer PCB layer as needed in this case. A SMA female connector has
been used to feed the line.
The interface board is realized on a FR4, 4-layers PCB. Substrate material is characterized by
relative permittivity ε
r
= 4.6 ± 0.4 @ 1 GHz, TanD= 0.019 ÷ 0.026 @ 1 GHz.
A characteristic impedance of nearly 50 Ω is achieved using trace width = 1.1 mm, clearance
from coplanar ground plane = 0.3 mm each side. The line uses reference ground plane on
layer 3, while copper is removed from layer 2 underneath the line. Height of trace above
ground plane is 1.335 mm. Calculated characteristic impedance is 51.6 Ω, estimated line loss
is less than 0.1 dB. The line geometry is shown below:

7.2.2. Transmission line measurements
HP8753E VNA (Full-2-port calibration) has been used in this measurement session. A
calibrated coaxial cable has been soldered at the pad corresponding to GL865-DUAL/QUAD
V3 RF output; a SMA connector has been soldered to the board in order to characterize the
losses of the transmission line including the connector itself. During Return Loss / impedance
measurements, the transmission line has been terminated to 50 Ω load.
Return Loss plot of line under test is shown below:

• Antenna shall be installed also according to antenna manufacturer instructions.
• Installation should also take in account the R&TTE requirements described in the
“Conformity Assessment Issues” chapter

8.1. Reset signal
Signal Function I/O pin
RESET* Phone reset I 47
RESET* is used to reset the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3. Whenever this signal is pulled low,
the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 is reset. When the device is reset it stops any operation. After
the release of the reset GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 is unconditionally shut down, without doing
any detach operation from the network where it is registered. This behavior is not a proper
shut down because any GSM device is requested to issue a detach request on turn off. For this
reason the Reset signal must not be used to normally shutting down the device, but only as an
emergency exit in the rare case the device remains stuck waiting for some network response.
The RESET* is internally controlled on start-up to achieve a proper power-on reset sequence,
so there's no need to control this pin on start-up. It may only be used to reset a device already
on that is not responding to any command.
NOTE:
Do not use this signal to power OFF the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3. Use the ON/OFF
procedure to perform this function.
Reset Signal Operating levels:
Signal Min Max
RESET* Input high 1.8V(NOTE1)
2.1V
RESET* Input low 0V 0.2V
(NOTE1) this signal is internally pulled up so the pin can be left floating if not used.
If unused, this signal may be left unconnected. If used, then it must always be connected with
an open collector transistor, to permit to the internal circuitry the power on reset and under
voltage lockout functions.

9. Serial Ports
The serial port on the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 is the core of the interface between the
module and OEM hardware.
2 serial ports are available on the module:
• MODEM SERIAL PORT 1 (Main, ASC0)
• MODEM SERIAL PORT 2 (Auxiliary, ASC1)
9.1. MODEM SERIAL PORT
Several configurations can be designed for the serial port on the OEM hardware, but the most
common are:
• RS232 PC com port
• microcontroller UART @ 1.8V (Universal Asynchronous Receive Transmit)
• microcontroller UART @ 3V or other voltages different from 1.8V
• microcontroller UART @ 5V or other voltages different from 1.8V
Depending from the type of serial port on the OEM hardware a level translator circuit may be
needed to make the system work. The only configuration that doesn't need a level translation
is the 1.8V UART.
The serial port on the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 is a +1.8V UART with all the 8 RS232
signals. It differs from the PC-RS232 in the signal polarity (RS232 is reversed) and levels.
The levels for the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 UART are the CMOS levels:
Absolute Maximum Ratings -Not Functional
Parameter Min Max
Input level on any digital
pad when on -0.3V +2.1V

NOTE:
According to V.24, RX/TX signal names are referred to the application side, therefore on the
GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 side these signal are on the opposite direction: TXD on the
application side will be connected to the receive line (here named TXD/ rx_uart ) of the
GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 serial port and vice versa for RX.
NOTE:
For a minimum implementation, only the TXD and RXD lines can be connected, the other
lines can be left open provided a software flow control is implemented.
NOTE:
In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic
level signal applied to the digital pins of the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 when the module is
powered off or during an ON/OFF transition.

9.2. RS232 level translation
In order to interface the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 with a PC com port or a RS232 (EIA/TIA-
232) application a level translator is required. This level translator must:
• invert the electrical signal in both directions;
• change the level from 0/1.8V to +15/-15V
Actually, the RS232 UART 16450, 16550, 16650 & 16750 chipsets accept signals with lower
levels on the RS232 side (EIA/TIA-562), allowing a lower voltage-multiplying ratio on the
level translator. Note that the negative signal voltage must be less than 0V and hence some
sort of level translation is always required.
The simplest way to translate the levels and invert the signal is by using a single chip level
translator. There are a multitude of them, differing in the number of drivers and receivers and
in the levels (be sure to get a true RS232 level translator not a RS485 or other standards).
By convention the driver is the level translator from the 0-1.8V UART to the RS232 level.
The receiver is the translator from the RS232 level to 0-1.8V UART.
In order to translate the whole set of control lines of the UART you will need:
• 5 drivers
• 3 receivers
NOTE:
The digital input lines working at 1.8V CMOS have an absolute maximum input voltage of
2.1V; therefore the level translator IC shall not be powered by the +3.8V supply of the
module. Instead, it must be powered from a +1.8V (dedicated) power supply.

An example of RS232 level adaptation circuitry could be done using a MAXIM transceiver
(MAX218).
In this case the chipset is capable to translate directly from 0/1.8V to the RS232 levels
(Example done on 4 signals only).
The RS232 serial port lines are usually connected to a DB9 connector with the following
layout:

10. Audio Section Overview
The Base Band Chip of the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 provides one input for audio to be
transmitted (Uplink) that can be connected directly to a microphone or an audio source.
The bias for the microphone is already provided by the product; so the connection can be
done in both following ways:
10.1. MIC connection
The first connection (referred to as single ended) is preferable, since the residual Vmic noise
is fed into the input as common mode and therefore rejected, while the ground noise is
blocked by the high impedance of the microphone (electret mike is a current signal source). In
this situation we have to recall that the microphone is a sound to current transducer, so the
resistor turns the current into voltage and acts as a voltage source; finally the resistor feeds the
input in balanced way even if the configuration, from a microphone point of view, seems to
be un-balanced.
If a "balanced way" is anyway desired, much more care has to be taken to Vmic noise and
ground noise; also the 33pF-100Ohm-33pF RF-filter has to be doubled (one each wire).

TIP: Since the J-FET transistor inside the microphone acts as RF-detector-amplifier, ask
vendor for a microphone with anti-EMI capacitor (usually a 33pF or a 10pF capacitor placed
across the output terminals inside the case).

If the audio source is not a mike but a different device, the following connections can be done.
Place a 1Kohm resistor to ground on the negative input, in order to get balanced the input;
than connect the source via 1uF capacitor, so the DC current is blocked.
Since the input is differential, the common mode voltage noise between the two (different)
grounds is rejected, provided that both AF_IN+ & AF_IN- are connected directly onto the
source.

10.3. EAR connection
The audio output of the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 is balanced, this is helpful to double the
level and to reject common mode (click and pop are common mode and therefore rejected);
furthermore the output stage is class-D, so it can manage directly a loudspeaker with electrical
impedance of at least 8Ohm. This stage is powered by switching from Vbatt to gnd at a
frequency ranging from 0.6 to 2MHz, so it has a good efficiency and thus a big power budget
0.7W; being a class-D architecture, please use some caution (see the NOTE below).
NOTE:
When the loudspeaker is connected with a long cable, an L-C filter is recommended.
When the EAR+/- are feeding some electronic circuitry, an R-C filter is recommended.
TIP: in order to get the maximum audio level at a given output voltage level (dBspl/Vrms),
the following breaking through procedure can be used. Have the loudspeaker as close as you
can to the listener (this simplify also the echo cancelling); choose the loudspeaker with the
higher sensitivity (dBspl per W); choose loudspeakers with the impedance close to the limit
(ex: 16 or 8 Ohm), in order to feed more power inside the transducer (it increases the W/Vrms
ratio). If this were not enough, an external amplifier should be used.
WARNING:
The audio output hardware of the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 is based on a Class-D amplifier
so any singled-end output configuration MUST NOT BE USED, otherwise the presence of
GSM buzzing and low level audio performance will result.

considered. The signal is converted to voltage on the 2.2KOhm resistance, from there on
circuitry has to be routed in order to not pick up common mode noise; beware of the return
path (ground).

11. General Purpose I/O
The general purpose I/O pads can be configured to act in three different ways:
• input
• output
• alternate function (internally controlled)
Input pads can be read; they report the digital value (high or low) present on the pad at the
read time .
Output pads can only be written or queried and set the value of the pad output.
An alternate function pad is internally controlled by the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 firmware
and acts depending on the function implemented.
For Logic levels please refer to chapter 8.

11.2. Using a GPIO Pad as INPUT
The GPIO pads, when used as inputs, can be connected to a digital output of another device
and report its status, provided this device has interface levels compatible with the 1.8V
CMOS levels of the GPIO.
If the digital output of the device to be connected with the GPIO input pad has interface levels
different from the 1.8V CMOS, then it can be buffered with an open collector transistor with a
47K pull up to 1.8V.
NOTE:
In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic
level signal applied to the digital pins of the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 when the module is
powered OFF or during an ON/OFF transition.
TIP:
The V_AUX / PWRMON pin can be used for input pull up reference or/and for ON
monitoring.
11.3. Using a GPIO Pad as OUTPUT
The GPIO pads, when used as outputs, can drive 1.8V CMOS digital devices or compatible
hardware. When set as outputs, the pads have a push-pull output and therefore the pull-up
resistor may be omitted.
11.4. Using the RF Transmission Control GPIO4
The GPIO4 pin, when configured as RF Transmission Control Input, permits to disable the
Transmitter when the GPIO is set to Low by the application.
In the design is necessary to add a resistor 47K pull up to 2.8V, this pull up must be switched
off when the module is in off condition.
11.5. Using the RFTXMON Output GPIO5
The GPIO5 pin, when configured as RFTXMON Output, is controlled by the GL865-
DUAL/QUAD V3 module and will rise when the transmitter is active and fall after the
transmitter activity is completed.
There are 2 different modes for this function:
1) Active during all the Call:
For example, if a call is started, the line will be HIGH during all the conversation and it will
be again LOW after hanged up.
The line rises up 300ms before first TX burst and will became again LOW from 500ms to 1s
after last TX burst.

Please refer to the AT User interface manual for additional information on how to enable this
function.
11.6. Using the Alarm Output GPIO6
The GPIO6 pad, when configured as Alarm Output, is controlled by the GL865-
DUAL/QUAD V3 module and will rise when the alarm starts and fall after the issue of a
dedicated AT command.
This output can be used to controlling microcontroller or application at the alarm time.
11.7. Using the Buzzer Output GPIO7
The GPIO7 pad, when configured as Buzzer Output, is controlled by the GL865-
DUAL/QUAD V3 module and will drive a Buzzer driver with appropriate square waves.
This permits to your application to easily implement Buzzer feature with ringing tones or
melody played at the call incoming, tone playing on SMS incoming or simply playing a tone
or melody when needed.

11.8. Magnetic Buzzer Concepts
11.8.1. Short Description
A magnetic Buzzer is a sound-generating device with a coil located in the magnetic circuit
consisting of a permanent magnet, an iron core, a high permeable metal disk and a vibrating
diaphragm.
Drawing of the Magnetic Buzzer.
The disk and diaphragm are attracted to the core by the magnetic field. When an oscillating
signal is moved through the coil, it produces a fluctuating magnetic field which vibrates the
diaphragm at the frequency of the drive signal. Thus the sound is produced relative to the
frequency applied.
Diaphragm movement.

11.8.2. Frequency Behavior
The frequency behavior represents the effectiveness of the reproduction of the applied signals.
Because performance is related to a square driving waveform (whose amplitude varies from
0V to V
pp
), if you modify the waveform (e.g. from square to sinus) the frequency response will
change.
11.8.3. Power Supply Influence
Applying a signal whose amplitude is different from that suggested by the manufacturer, the
performance change following the rule “if resonance frequency f
o
increases, amplitude
decreases”.
Because resonance frequency depends on acoustic design, by lowering the amplitude of the
driving signal the response bandwidth tends to become narrow, and vice versa.
Summarizing: V
pp
↑ f
o
↓ V
pp
↓ f
o
↑
The risk is that the f
o
could easily fall outside of new bandwidth; consequently the SPL could
be much lower than the expected.
11.8.4. Working Current Influence
In the component data sheet you will find the value of MAX CURRENT: this represents the
maximum average current that can flow at nominal voltage without current limitation. In
other words it is not the peak current, which could be twice or three times higher. If driving
circuitry does not support these peak values, the SPL will never reach the declared level or the
oscillations will stop.
WARNING:
It is very important to respect the sense of the applied voltage: never apply to the "-" pin
a
voltage more positive than the "+" pin
: if this happens, the diaphragm vibrates in the opposite
di
rection with a high probability to be expelled from its physical position. This damages the
device permanently.

11.9. STAT LED Indication of network service availability
The STAT_LED pin status shows information on the network service availability and Call
status.
In the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 modules, the STAT_LED usually needs an external
transistor to drive an external LED.
Therefore, the status indicated in the following table is reversed with respect to the pin status.

11.10. SIMIN detect function
All the GPIO pins can be used as SIM DETECT input. The AT Command used to enable the
function is:
AT#SIMINCFG
Use the AT command AT#SIMDET=2 to enable the SIMIN detection
Use the AT command AT&W0 and AT&P0 to store the SIMIN detection in the common
profile.
For full details see AT Commands Reference Guide, 80000ST10025a.
NOTE:
Don’t use the SIM IN function on the same pin where the GPIO function is enabled and vice
versa!
11.11. RTC Bypass out
The VRTC pin brings out the Real Time Clock supply, which is separate from the rest of the
digital part, allowing having only RTC going on when all the other parts of the device are off.
To this power output a backup battery can be added in order to increase the RTC autonomy
during power off of the main battery (power supply). NO Devices must be powered from this
pin.

12. DAC and ADC section
12.1. DAC Converter
12.1.1. Description
The GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 provides a Digital to Analog Converter. The signal (named
DAC_OUT) is available on pin 15 of the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3.
The on board DAC is a 10 bit converter, able to generate an analogue value based on a
specific input in the range from 0 up to 1023. However, an external low-pass filter is
necessary
Min Max Units
Voltage range (filtered)

Volt
Range 0 1023 Steps
The precision is 10 bits so, if we consider that the maximum voltage is 2V, the integrated
voltage could be calculated with the following formula:
Integrated output voltage = (2 *value) / 1023
DAC_OUT line must be integrated (for example with a low band pass filter) in order to obtain
an analog voltage.

13.3. Recommended foot print for the application
In order to easily rework the GL865-DUAL/QUAD V3 is suggested to consider on the
application a 1.5 mm placement inhibited area around the module.
It is also suggested, as common rule for an SMT component, to avoid having a mechanical
part of the application in direct contact with the module.
13.4. Stencil
Stencil’s apertures layout can be the same of the recommended footprint (1:1), we suggest a
thickness of stencil foil ≥ 120µm.

13.5. PCB pad design
Non solder mask defined (NSMD) type is recommended for the solder pads on the PCB.
13.6. Recommendations for PCB pad dimensions (mm):
It is not recommended to place via or micro-via not covered by solder resist in an area of 0.3 mm
around the pads unless it carries the same signal of the pad itself (see following figure).

Holes in pad are allowed only for blind holes and not for through holes.
Recommendations for PCB pad surfaces:
Finish Layer thickness [µm] Properties
Electro-less Ni / Immersion Au 3 –7 / 0.05 – 0.15 good solder ability protection,
high shear force values
The PCB must be able to resist the higher temperatures which are occurring at the lead-free
process. This issue should be discussed with the PCB-supplier. Generally, the wettability of tin-
lead solder paste on the described surface plating is better compared to lead-free solder paste.
It is not necessary to panel the application PCB, however in that case it is suggested to use milled
contours and predrilled board breakouts; scoring or v-cut solutions are not recommended.
