Hardware Commands 5.1. Turning ON the HE863 To turn on HE863 Family, the pad ON/OFF# must be tied low for at least 1 second and then released. The maximum current that can be drained from the ON/OFF# pad is 0.1 mA. A simple circuit to do it is: NOTE:The HE863 Family turns fully on by supplying power more than 3.2V to the VBATT pads because of the first connect power on feature. This feature could be done only when Vbatt equals to almost 0V at the beginning. Normally the high value capacitor will be mounted on Vbatt line so the user should have a wait enoughly since vbatt is disabled till the remaining voltage on Vbatt is fully dischaged in order to do re-start by this feature. Because the discharge time depends upon the capacitance on Vbatt in the application it should be definitely considered in the application side. HE863 Family has dozens uF on Vbatt line inside. 5.2. Initialization and Activation state Upon turning on HE863 Family, HE863 Family is not activated yet because the boot sequence of HE863 Family is still going on internally. It may take more than about 10 seconds to complete the initializing the module internally. For this reason, it would be useless to try to access HE863 Family during Initialization state as below.

Page 32 of 92 desirable stability, HE863 Family needs at least 10 seconds after the PWRMON goes High. Following time charts can be referred according to the application design. i. First time supplying the power more than 3.2V to Vbatt By only first time supplying the power to Vbatt line, the HE863 Family will power on without toggling ON/OFF# pin. ii. Using ON/OFF key when USB interface is not used If the application will not use the usb interface of HE863 Family, that is, actually the usb interface is not connected between the devices, the hold time to tie ON/OFF# to GND should be 1 ~ 2 sec to make it powering on.

Using ON/OFF key when USB interface is used If the application will use the usb interface of HE863 Family, that is, actually the usb interface is correctly connected between the devices and USB_VBUS is asserted, the hold time to tie ON/OFF# to GND should be 3 ~ 4 sec to make it powering on. During the Initialization state, any kind of AT-command is not available. DTE must be waiting for the Activation state to communicate with HE863 Family. NOTE:To check if the HE863 Family has powered on, the hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. When PWRMON goes high, the module has powered on. NOTE:Do not use any pull up resistor on the ON/OFF# line, it is internally pulled up. Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the HE863 Family power regulator and improper power on/off of the module. The line ON# must be connected only in open collector configuration. NOTE:In this document all the lines are inverted. Active low signals are labeled with a name that ends with a "#" or with a bar over the name.

Turning OFF the HE863 The turning off the device can be done by below ways: - via AT command only (see HE863 Software User Guide) - by tying low the ON/OFF# pad for at least 2 seconds. Either ways the device issues to the network a detach request that informs the network that the device will not be reachable any more. To turn OFF HE863 Family the pad ON/OFF# must be tied low for at least 2 seconds and then released.

Page 35 of 92 When the hold time of ON/OFF# reaches above 2 seconds, HE863 Family goes into the finalization state and finally will shut down PWRMON at the end of this state. The period of the finalization state can differ from the situation in which the HE863 Family is so it cannot be fixed definitely. Normally it will take above 10 seconds later from releasing ON/OFF# and DTE should monitor the status of PWRMON to see the actual power off. TIP:To check if the device has powered off, hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. When PWRMON goes low it can be considered the device has powered off.

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 stacked waiting for some network or SIM responses. To unconditionally restart the HE863 Family, the pad RESET# must be tied low for at least 200 milliseconds and then released. A simple circuit to do it is: NOTE:Do not use any pull up resistor on the RESET# line or any totem pole digital output. Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the HE863 Family power regulator and improper functioning of the module. The line RESET# must be connected only in open collector configuration TIP:The unconditional hardware Restart must always be implemented on the boards and the software must use it as an emergency exit procedure.

Power Supply Requirements The HE863 Family power requirements are: Power Supply Nominal Supply Voltage 3.8V Max Supply Voltage 4.2V Supply Voltage Range 3.4V – 4.2V HE863-EUD/NAD/AUD/EUG/NAG/AUG/EUR/NARMode Average(mA) Mode Description IDLE mode Standby mode; no call in progress; GPS OFF (GPS for HE863-EUG/NAG/AUG only)AT+CFUN=0 - 60uA Shutdown mode(Power off) AT+CFUN=1 WCDMA 34 Normal mode; full functionality of the module GSM 33 AT+CFUN=4 WCDMA 33 Disabled TX and RX; modules is not registered on the network GSM 33 AT+CFUN=5 WCDMA 4/2* CFN=5 full functionality with power saving; Module registered on the network can receive incoming call and SMS GSM 4/2* WCDMA TX and RX mode with GPS OFF GPS OFF (GPS for HE863-EUG/NAG/AUG only)WCDMA Voice 600 WCDMA voice channel WCDMA data 600 WCDMA data channel HSDPA 680 HSDPA data channel HSUPA 610 HSUPA data channel GSM TX and RX mode with GPS OFF GPS OFF (GPS for HE863-EUG/NAG/AUG only)GSM Voice 250 GSM voice channel GPRS Class12 650 GPRS data channel EDGE Class12 470 EDGE data channel * Worst/best case depends on network configuration and is not under module control.

In GSM/GPRS mode, RF transmission is not continuous and it is packed into bursts at a base frequency of about 216 Hz, and the relative current peaks can be as high as about 2A. Therefore the power supply has to be designed in order 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; this will reflect on all the audio paths producing an audible annoying noise at 216 Hz; if the voltage drops during the peak, current absorption is too much. The device may even shut down as a consequence of the supply voltage drop.

General Design Rules The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps: x the electrical design x the thermal design x the PCB layout 6.2.1. Electrical Design Guidelines The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly on the power source where this power is drained. We will distinguish them into two categories: x +5V input (typically PC internal regulator output) x +12V input (typically automotive) 6.2.1.1. + 5V Input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines x The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence there is 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. x When using a linear regulator, a proper heat sink must be provided in order to dissipate the power generated. x A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current absorption peaks close to HE863 Family, a 100ȝF tantalum capacitor is usually suited. x Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually a tantalum one) is rated at least 10V. x A protection diode must be inserted close to the power input, in order to save HE863 Family from power polarity inversion.

Page 41 of 92 An example of linear regulator with 5V input is: 6.2.1.2. +12V Input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines x 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 must not be used. A switching power supply will be preferable because of its better efficiency especially with the 2A peak current load represented by HE863 Family. x When using a switching regulator, a 500 kHz 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. x 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. x For car PB battery the input voltage can rise up to 15.8V and this must be kept in mind when choosing components: all components in the power supply must withstand this voltage. x A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current absorption peaks. A 100ȝF tantalum capacitor is usually suited for this.

Page 42 of 92 x Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually a tantalum one) is rated at least 10V. x For Car applications a spike protection diode must be inserted close to the power input, in order to clean the supply from spikes. x A protection diode must be inserted close to the power input, in order to save HE863 Family 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 (it is split in 2 parts): Switching regulator

Thermal Design Guidelines The thermal design for the power supply heat sink must be done with the following specifications: x Average current consumption during WCDMA/HSPA transmission @PWR level max : 710mA x Average current consumption during class12 GPRS transmission @PWR level max : 670mA x Average GPS current during GPS ON (Power Saving disabled) in HE863-EUG/NAG/AUG : 55mA NOTE:The average consumption during transmissions depends on the power level at which the device is requested to transmit via the network. The average current consumption hence varies significantly. NOTE:The thermal design for the Power supply must be made keeping an average consumption at the max transmitting level during calls of 750mA rms plus 100mA rms for GPS in tracking mode in HE863-EUG/NAG/AUG. 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. If we assume that the device stays in transmission for short periods of time (let us say few minutes) and then remains for quite a long time in idle (let us say one hour), then the power supply has always the time to cool down between the calls and the heat sink could be smaller than the calculated for 850mA maximum RMS current. There could even be a simple chip package (no heat sink). Moreover in average network conditions the device is requested to transmit at a lower power level than the maximum and hence the current consumption will be less than 850mA (TBD, being usually around 150mA). For these reasons the thermal design is rarely a concern and the simple ground plane where the power supply chip is placed can be enough to ensure a good thermal condition and avoid overheating. For the heat generated by the HE863 Family, you can consider it to be during transmission 1W max during CSD/VOICE calls and

Page 44 of 92 2W max during class12 GPRS upload. This generated heat will be mostly conducted to the ground plane under the HE863 Family; you must ensure that your application can dissipate heat. In the WCDMA/HSPA mode, since HE863 Family emits RF signals continuously during transmission, you must pay special attention how to dissipate the heat generated. The current consumption will be up to about 710mA in HSPA continuously at the maximum TX output power (23dBm). Thus, you must arrange the PCB area as large as possible under HE863 Family which you will mount. You must mount HE863 Family on the large ground area of your application board and make many ground vias to dissipate the heat. The peak current consumption in the GSM mode is higher than that in WCDMA. However, considering the heat sink is more important in case of WCDMA. As mentioned before, a GSM signal is bursty, thus, the temperature drift is more insensible than WCDMA. Consequently, if you prescribe the heat dissipation in the WCDMA mode, you don’t need to think more about the GSM mode. 6.2.3. Power Supply PCB Layout Guidelines As seen in the electrical design guidelines, the power supply must 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 performances. x The Bypass low ESR capacitor must be placed close to the Telit HE863 Family 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 if the PCB trace from the capacitor to HE863 Family is wide enough to ensure a drop-less connection even during the 2A current peaks. x The protection diode must be placed close to the input connector where the power source is drained. x The PCB traces from the input connector to the power regulator. IC must be wide enough to ensure no voltage drops to occur when the 2A current peaks are absorbed.

Page 45 of 92 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 216 Hz that will reflect on all the components connected to that supply (also 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 does not have audio interface but only uses the data feature of the Telit HE863 Family, then this noise is not so disturbing and power supply layout design can be more forgiving. x The PCB traces to HE863 Family and the Bypass capacitor must be wide enough to ensure no significant voltage drops to occur when the 2A current peaks are absorbed. This is a must for the same above-mentioned reasons. Try to keep this trace as short as possible. x 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 (usually 100-500 kHz). x The use of a good common ground plane is suggested. x The placement of the power supply on the board must be done in 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. x The power supply input cables must be kept separately from noise sensitive lines such as microphone/earphone cables.

Antenna(s) The antenna connection and board layout design are the most important parts in the full product design and they strongly reflect on the product’s overall performances. Read carefully and follow the requirements and the guidelines for a proper design. 7.1. GSM/WCDMA Antenna Requirements As suggested on the Product Description, the antenna for a Telit HE863 Family device must fulfill the following requirements: When using the Telit HE863 Family, since there’s no antenna connector on the module, the antenna must be connected to the HE863 Family through the PCB with the antenna pad using a 50 Ohm transmission line. In the case that the antenna is not directly developed on the same PCB, hence directly connected at the antenna pad of the HE863 Family, then a PCB line is needed in order to connect with it or with its connector.

GSM/WCDMA Antenna – PCB line Guidelines x Antenna line must have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid meanders and abrupt curves; x Keep, if possible, one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane; x 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; x The ground around the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the Ground Plane by placing via holes once per 2mm at least; x Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from HE863 Family antenna line; x Keep the antenna line far away from the HE863 Family power supply lines; x If you have EM noisy devices around the PCB hosting the HE863 Family, such as fast switching ICs, take care of shielding it with a metal frame cover. x HE863 Family can only be used with a host antenna circuit trace layout according to below guidelines and a host system designer must follow the guidelines to keep the original Grant of HE863 Family. OEM, host system designer has to know that the strict compliance to the layout reference design which Telit will provide is required to ensure that only approved antenna shall be used in the host system. If in a host system there is any difference from the trace layout already approved, OEM host system designer has to know that it requires a Class II permissive change or a new grant as appropriate as FCC defines. Compliance of this device in all final host configurations is the responsibility of the Grantee. Here is the information of Telit’s approved interface board layout and please see carefully the pictures extracted from the gerber files for respective layer as attached below. This guidance should be referenced by OEM host. Telit EVK for HE863 Family has a structure of six pcb layers.

GSM/WCDMA Antenna – Installation Guidelines x Install the antenna in a place covered by the GSM/WCDMA signal. x The Antenna 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; x Antenna shall not be installed inside metal cases; x Antenna shall be installed also according Antenna manufacturer instructions. x FCC Section 15.203 describes that the use of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited. Do NOT use this type of connector on the host system and the host system should have one of special ones. The host system designers should keep in mind this information before they start their actual design. Below descriptions will make it clearer. According to the FCC requirement, SMA type is prohibited because it is one of standard types but the system designer can adopt RP-SMA type which is considered a special type. RP-SMA represents “Reversed Polarized SMA”. Useful pictures below;

GPS Antenna Requirements (HE863-EUG/NAG/AUG only) The use of combined GPS antennas is NOT recommended; this solution could generate an extremely poor GPS reception and also the combination antenna requires additional diplexer and adds a loss in the RF route. The module is provided of an Antenna supply circuit with the following characteristics: x Supply voltage referred to VBATT (Must accept values from 3.4 to 4.2 V DC) x Supply enable controlled internally by the BB. When using the Telit HE863-EUG/NAG/AUG, since there’s no antenna connector on the module, the antenna must be connected to the HE863-EUG/NAG/AUG through the PCB with the antenna pad using a 50 Ohm transmission line. In the case that the antenna is not directly developed on the same PCB, hence directly connected at the antenna pad of the HE863-EUG/NAG/AUG, then a PCB line is needed in order to connect with it or with its connector.

Reset Signal Signal Function I/O BGA Ball RESET Phone reset I G5 RESET is used to reset the HE863 Family module. Whenever this signal is pulled low, HE863 Family is reset. When the device is reset it stops all operations. After the release of the reset HE863 Family is unconditionally shut down, without doing any detach operations from the network where it is registered. This behavior is not a proper shutdown because the device is requested to issue a detach request on turn off. For this reason, the Reset signal must not be used for 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 always a proper power-on reset sequence. There is 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 HE863 Family. Use AT#SHDN command to perform this function. Reset Signal Operating levels: Signal Min MaxRESET Input high 2.0V* 2.6V RESET Input low 0V 0.2V * 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, it must always be connected with an open collector transistor to permit the internal circuitry the power on reset and under voltage lockout functions.

Serial Ports The serial port on the Telit HE863 Family is the interface between the module and OEM hardware. 2 serial ports are available on the module: x MODEM SERIAL PORT; x MODEM SERIAL PORT 2 (DEBUG). 9.1. Modem Serial Port Several configurations can be designed for the serial port on the OEM hardware. The most common are: x RS232 PC com port; x microcontroller UART @ 1.8V – 2.0V (Universal Asynchronous Receive Transmit) ; Depending on 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 does not need a level translation is the 1.8V – 2.0V UART. The serial port on HE863 Family is a +1.8V UART with all the 7 RS232 signals. It differs from the PC-RS232 in signal polarity (RS232 is reversed) and levels.

RS232 Level Translation In order to interface the Telit HE863 Family with a PC com port or a RS232 (EIA/TIA-232) application a level translator is required. This level translator must: x invert the electrical signal in both directions; x 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: x 5 drivers x 3 receivers NOTE:The digital input lines working at 1.8V CMOS have an absolute maximum input voltage of 3.6V; 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 / +2.0V (dedicated) power supply. This is because in this way the level translator IC outputs on the module side (i.e. HE863 Family inputs) will work at +3.8V interface levels, damaging the module inputs.

USB Port The HE863 Family module includes a Universal Serial Bus (USB) transceiver, which operates at USB low-speed (1.5Mbits/sec), USB full-speed (12Mbits/sec) and USB high-speed (480Mbits/sec). It is compliant with the USB 2.0 specification and can be used for diagnostic monitoring, control and data transfers.

Audio Section (HE863-EUR/EUG/NAR/NAG/AUG only) The Baseband chip was developed for the cellular phones, which needed two separated amplifiers both in RX and in TX section. A couple of amplifiers had to be used with internal audio transducers while the other couple of amplifiers had to be used with external audio transducers. To distinguish the schematic signals and the Software identifiers, two different definitions were introduced, with the following meaning: x internal audio transducers Æ HS/MT differential/Single ended type (from HandSet or MicroTelephone ) x external audio transducers Æ HF only single-ended output type (from HandsFree ) Actually the acronyms have not the original importance. In other words this distinction is not necessary, being the performances between the two blocks like the same. Only if the customer needs higher output power to the speaker, he has a constraint. Otherwise the choice could be done in order to overcome the PCB design difficulties. For these reasons we have not changed the HS and HF acronyms, keeping them in the Software and on the schematics. 11.1. Selection mode Only one block can be active at a time, and the activation of the requested audio path is done via hardware by AXE line or via software by AT#CAP command. Moreover the Sidetone functionality could be implemented by the amplifier fitted between the transmit path and the receive path, enabled at request in both modes.

Microphone Characteristics TIP:Being the microphone circuitry the more noise sensitive, its design and layout must be realized with particular care. Both microphone paths are balanced and the OEM circuitry must be balanced designed to reduce the common mode noise typically generated on the ground plane. However the customer can use the unbalanced circuitry for particular application. 11.2.1. Input Lines (MT and HF) Characteristics Line coupling AC(*) Line type Balanced/Unbalanced Coupling capacitor  100nF Differential input impedance 50Kȍ Differential input voltage Max 0.8Vpp input capacitance 5pF(typ.) (*) WARNING: AC means that the signals from the microphone have to be connected to input lines of the module through capacitors which value has to be  100nF, Not respecting this constraint, the input stages will be damaged. When particular OEM application needs a Single Ended Input configuration, it is forbidden connecting the unused input directly to Ground, but only through a 100nF capacitor. Don’t forget that thus the useful input signal will be halved. 11.3. OUTPUT LINES (Speaker) We suggest driving the load differentially from both output drivers, thus the output swing will double and the need for the output coupling capacitor avoided. If a particular OEM application needs a Single Ended Output configuration the output power will be reduced four times.

Logic Level Specifications Where not specifically stated, all the interface circuits work at 1.8V CMOS logic levels. The following table shows the logic level specifications used in the HE863 Family interface circuits: For 1.8V CMOS signals: Absolute Maximum Ratings -Not Functional Parameter Min MaxInput level on any digital pin when on -0.3V +3.6V Input voltage on analog pins when on -0.15V +3.0 V Operating Range - Interface levels Level Min MaxInput high level 1.26V 2.0 V Input low level -0.2V 0.36V Output high level 1.6V 1.8V Output low level 0V 0.2V 12.2. 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 is connected with the GPIO input, the pad has interface levels different from the 1.8V CMOS. It can be buffered with an open collector transistor with a 47Kȍ pull-up resistor to 1.8V. 12.3. 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,

Page 74 of 92 the pads have a push-pull output and therefore the pull-up resistor may be omitted. 12.4. Using the Alarm Output GPIO6 The GPIO6 pad, when configured as Alarm Output, is controlled by the HE863 Family module and will rise when the alarm starts and fall after the issue of a dedicated AT command. This output can be used to power up the HE863 Family controlling microcontroller or application at the alarm time, giving you the possibility to program a timely system wake-up to achieve some periodic actions and completely turn off either the application or the HE863 Family during sleep periods. This will dramatically reduce the sleep consumption to few ȝA. In battery-powered devices this feature will greatly improve the autonomy of the device. NOTE:During RESET the line is set to HIGH logic level. 12.5. Indication of Network Service Availability The STAT_LED pin status shows information on the network service availability and Call status. In the HE863 Family modules, the STAT_LED usually needs an external transistor to drive an external LED. Because of the above, the status indicated in the following table is reversed with respect to the pin status: LED status Device Status Permanently off Device off Fast blinking (Period 1s, Ton 0,5s) Net search / Not registered / turning off Slow blinking (Period 3s, Ton 0,3s) Registered full servicePermanently on a call is active

DAC and ADC section 13.1. DAC Converter 13.1.1. Description The HE863 Family module provides a Digital to Analog Converter. The signal (named DAC_OUT) is available on BGA Ball S4 of the HE863 Family module. The on board DAC is a 16-bit converter, able to generate an analogue value based on a specific input in the range from 0 up to 65535 but recalibrated in the range from 0 to 1023. However, an external low-pass filter is necessary. Min Max UnitsVoltage range (filtered) 0 1.8 Volt Range 0 1023 Steps The precision is 1023 steps, so if we consider that the maximum voltage is 1.8V, the integrated voltage could be calculated with the following formula: Integrated output voltage = 1.8 * value / 1023 DAC_OUT line must be integrated (for example with a low band pass filter) in order to obtain an analog voltage. 13.1.2. Enabling DAC An AT command is available to use the DAC function. The command is:AT#DAC[=<enable>[,<value>]] <value> - scale factor of the integrated output voltage (0..1023 - 10 bit precision) it must be present if <enable>=1 Refer to SW User Guide or AT Commands Reference Guide for the full description of this function. NOTE:The DAC frequency is selected internally. D/A converter must not be used during POWERSAVING.

SIM holder design guide 15.1. Overview In HE863 Family modules there are five pins for SIM card holder connection. These lines are: SIMVCC (SIM Power supply) SIMRST (SIM Reset) SIMIO (SIM Data) SIMIN (SIM Presence/Absence) (TBD)SIMCLK (SIM Clock) SIM connection must take in account of three key issues: 1) Data Integrity: standard rules for digital layout and routing must be followed taking in consideration that SIMCLK has frequency of 3.57 MHz and SIMIO has 9600Bps baud rate. 2) EMI/EMC: this is a key aspect to consider designing an application based on TELIT modules with internal antenna and/or without a proper-shielded box. Some of these conditions may occur: - Antenna picks-up digital noise coming from SIM card lines. - Antenna radiated field may interfere digital lines. - Digital lines (in particular clock) may radiate spurious in the surrounding space. To overcome all these potential problems, connection lines must be kept as short as possible and shielded. SIM-holder position has to be as far as possible from antenna. RF bypass capacitors (10pF...33pF) closed to SIM card SIM-holder are another good care. When connection is not short, insertion of 10..100ohm resistor with 10..33pF capacitor (RC filter) is a good caution to improve EMI from SIMCLK line. Do not insert resistor on SIMVCC, SIMRST and SIMIO lines, their use is not supported by SIM electrical interface. 3) ESD: take standard ESD caution if application based on TELIT module has SIM holder with contacts reachable from human body.

Page 85 of 92 NOTE: SIMIN doesn’t require any pull-up resistor. It is built in. SIM card is detected inserted when this line is short to ground.(TBD) If in the application the SIM holder doesn’t foresee the switch for the presence/absence of the SIM card, the SIMIN line must be connected to ground. 15.2. SIM interface When designing SIM interface on the application boards, the following schematics are recommended. 3GPP specifications define that the rise time and the fall time of the IO signal shall not exceed 1 usec. R1 and C2 are very closely related to the rise and fall time of the SIMIO signal. It can differ according to application board therefore it should be considered at the customer point of view. It means that the values of R1,C1,C2,C3,C4,C5 may be necessary to be optimized according to the application design.

But in general there will be no issue if above schematics were made on the application board. All components are DNI but one component should be reserved for each line because they may need to debug in future. HE863 Family modules already have internally 4.7kohm pull up resistor on SIMIO line.
