Therefore the power supply has to be designed in order to withstand with 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 216 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.

HE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300925 Rev.18 – 15-06-2012 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved page 37 of 91 The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps: the electrical design the thermal design the PCB layout. The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly from the power source where this power is drained. We will distinguish them into three categories: +5V input (typically PC internal regulator output) +12V input (typically automotive) Battery 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 HE910, 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 HE910 from power polarity inversion.

HE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300925 Rev.18 – 15-06-2012 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved page 38 of 91 An example of linear regulator with 5V input is: 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 HE910. 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 HE910 from power polarity inversion. This can be the same diode as for spike protection.

HE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300925 Rev.18 – 15-06-2012 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved page 40 of 91 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 HE910 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 HE910 and damage it. NOTE: DON'T USE any Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Pb battery types directly connected with HE910. Their use can lead to overvoltage on the HE910 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 HE910 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.

HE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300925 Rev.18 – 15-06-2012 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved page 41 of 91 The thermal design for the power supply heat sink should be done with the following specifications: Average current consumption during HSDPA transmission @PWR level max : 600 mA Average current during idle: 1.5 mA 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. If we assume that the device stays into transmission for short periods of time (let's say few minutes) and then remains for a quite long time in idle (let's 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 one for 600mA maximum RMS current, or even could be the simple chip package (no heat sink). Moreover in the 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 the 600mA, 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 HE910, 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 HE910; you must ensure that your application can dissipate it.

HE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300925 Rev.18 – 15-06-2012 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved page 42 of 91 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 performances. The Bypass low ESR capacitor must be placed close to the Telit HE910 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 HE910 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 216 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 HE910, then this noise is not so disturbing and power supply layout design can be more forgiving. The PCB traces to the HE910 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.

This allows the module to work well with a passive GPS antenna. If the antenna cannot be located near the HE910, then an active antenna (that is, an antenna with a low noise amplifier built in) can be used. The HE910 can achieve Cold Start acquisition with a signal level of -147 dBm at its input. This means the GPS receiver can find the necessary satellites, download the necessary ephemeris data and compute the location within a 5 minute period. In the GPS signal acquisition process, downloading and decoding the data is the most difficult task, which is why Cold Start acquisition requires a higher signal level than navigation or tracking signal levels. For the purposes of this discussion, autonomous operation is assumed, which makes the Cold Start acquisition level the important design constraint. If assistance data in the form of time or ephemeris aiding is available, then even lower signal levels can be used to compute a navigation solution. Each GPS satellite presents its own signal to the HE910, and best performance is obtained when the signal levels are between -125 dBm and -117 dBm. These received signal levels are determined by : GPS satellite transmit power GPS satellite elevation and azimuth Free space path loss Extraneous path loss such as rain Partial or total path blockage such as foliage or building Multipath caused by signal reflection GPS antenna Signal path after the GPS antenna The first three items in the list above are specified in IS-GPS-200E, readily available multiple sources online. IS-GPS-200E specifies a signal level minimum of -130 dBm will be presented to the receiver when using a linearly polarized antenna with 3 dBi gain. The GPS signal is relatively immune to rainfall attenuation and does not really need to be considered.

HE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300925 Rev.18 – 15-06-2012 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved page 50 of 91 However, the GPS signal is heavily influenced by attenuation due to foliage such as tree canopies, etc., as well as outright blockage caused by building, terrain or other items in the line of sight to the specific GPS satellite. This variable attenuation is highly dependent upon GPS satellite location. If enough satellites are blocked, say at a lower elevation, or all in a general direction, the geometry of the remaining satellites will result is a lower accuracy of position. The HE910 reports this geometry in the form of PDOP, HDOP and VDOP. For example, in a vehicular application, the GPS antenna may be placed embedded into the dashboard or rear package tray of an automobile. The metal roof of the vehicle will cause significant blockage, plus any thermal coating applied to the vehicle glass can attenuate the GPS signal by as much as 15 dB. Again, both of these factors will affect the performance of the receiver. Multipath is a phenomena where the signal from a particular satellite is reflected and is received by the GPS antenna in addition to or in place of the original line of sight signal. The multipath signal has a path length that is longer than the original line of sight path and can either attenuate the original signal, or if received in place of the original signal add additional error in determining a solution because the distance to the particular GPS satellite is actually longer than expected. It is this phenomena that makes GPS navigation in urban canyons (narrow roads surround by high rise buildings) so challenging. In general, the reflecting of the GPS signal causes the polarization to reverse. The implications of this are covered in the next section. The GPS signal as broadcast is a right hand circularly polarized signal. The best antenna to receive the GPS signal is a right hand circularly (RHCP) polarized antenna. Remember that IS-GPS-200E specifies the receive power level with a linearly polarized antenna. A linearly polarized antenna will have 3 dB loss as compared to an RHCP antenna assuming the same antenna gain (specified in dBi and dBic respectively). An RHCP antenna is better at rejecting multipath than a linearly polarized antenna. This is because the reflected signal changes polarization to LHCP, which would be rejected by the RHCP antenna by typically 20 dB or so. If the multipath signal is attenuating the line of sight signal, then the RHCP antenna would show a higher signal level than a linearly polarized antenna because the interfering signal is rejected. However, in the case where the multipath signal is replacing the line of sight signal, such as in an urban canyon environment, then the number of satellites in view could drop below that needed to determine a 3D solution. This is a case where a bad signal may be better than no signal. The system designer needs to make tradeoffs in their application to determine which is the better choice.

HE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300925 Rev.18 – 15-06-2012 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved page 51 of 91 Antenna gain is defined as the extra signal power from the antenna as compared to a theoretical isotropic antenna (equally sensitive in all directions). For example, a 25mm by 25m square patch antenna on a reference ground plane (usually 70mm by 70mm) will give an antenna gain at zenith of 5 dBic. A smaller 18mm by 18mm square patch on a reference ground plane (usually 50mm by 50mm) will give an antenna gain at zenith of 2 dBic. While an antenna vendor will specify a nominal antenna gain (usually at zenith, or directly overhead) they should supply antenna pattern curves specifying gain as a function of elevation, and gain at a fixed elevation as a function of azimuth. Pay careful attention to the requirement to meet these specifications, such as ground plane required and any external matching components. Failure to follow these requirements could result in very poor antenna performance. It is important to note that GPS antenna gain is not the same thing as external LNA gain. Most antenna vendors will specify these numbers separately, but some combine them into a single number. It is important to know both numbers when designing and evaluating the front end of a GPS receiver. For example, antenna X has an antenna gain of 5 dBiC at azimuth and an LNA gain of 20 dB for a combined total of 25 dB. Antenna Y has an antenna gain of -5 dBiC at azimuth and an LNA gain of 30 dB for a combined total of 25 dB. However, in the system, antenna X will outperform antenna Y by about 10 dB (refer to next chapter for more details on system noise floor). An antenna with higher gain will generally outperform an antenna with lower gain. Once the signals are above about -130 dBm for a particular satellite, no improvement in performance would be gained. However, for those satellites that are below about -125 dBm, a higher gain antenna would improve the gain and improve the performance of the GPS receiver. In the case of really weak signals, a good antenna could mean the difference between being able to use a particular satellite signal or not. If the GPS antenna is placed near the HE910 and the RF traces losses are not excessive (nominally 1 dB), then a passive antenna can be used. This would normally be the lowest cost option and most of the time the simplest to use. However, if the antenna needs to be located away from the HE910 then an active antenna may be required to obtain the best system performance. The active antenna has its own built in low noise amplifier to overcome RF trace or cable losses after the active antenna. However, an active antenna has a low noise amplifier (LNA) with associated gain and noise figure. In addition, many active antennas have either a pre-select filter, a post-select filter, or both.

HE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300925 Rev.18 – 15-06-2012 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved page 52 of 91 Ensure that the antenna line impedance is 50ohm. Keep the antenna line on the PCB as short as possible to reduce the loss. Antenna line must have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid meanders and abrupt curves. Keep one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane, if possible. Surround (on the sides, over and under) the antenna line on PCB with Ground, avoid having other signal tracks facing directly the antenna line of track. The ground around the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the Ground Plane by placing vias once per 2mm at least. Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from HE910 antenna line. Keep the antenna line far away from the HE910 power supply lines. Keep the antenna line far away from the HE910 GSM RF lines. If you have EM noisy devices around the PCB hosting the HE910, 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 do not have EM noisy devices around the PCB of HE910, use a strip-line on the superficial copper layer for the antenna line. The line attenuation will be lower than a buried one. RF Trace losses are difficult to estimate on a PCB without having the appropriate tables or RF simulation software to estimate what the losses would be. A good rule of thumb would be to keep the RF traces as short as possible, make sure they are 50 ohms impedance and don’t contain any sharp bends.

HE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300925 Rev.18 – 15-06-2012 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved page 53 of 91 The HE910 module contains a SAW filter used in a pre-select configuration with the built-in LNA, that is, the RF input of the HE910 ties directly into the SAW filter. Any circuit connected to the input of the HE910 would see complex impedance presented by the SAW filter, particularly out of band, rather than the relatively broad and flat return loss presented by the LNA. Filter devices pass the desired in band signal to the output, resulting in low reflected energy (good return loss), and reject the out of band signal by reflecting it back to the input, resulting in high reflected energy (bad return loss). If an external amplifier is to be used with the HE910, the overall design should be checked for RF stability to prevent the external amplifier from oscillating. Amplifiers that are unconditionally stable at the output will be fine to use with the HE910. If an external filter is to be connected directly to the HE910, care needs to be used in making sure neither the external filter nor the internal SAW filter performance is compromised. These components are typically specified to operate into 50 ohms impedance, which is generally true in band, but would not be true out of band. If there is extra gain associated with the external filter, then a 6 dB Pi or T resistive attenuator is suggested to improve the impedance match between the two components. The HE910 can be used with an external LNA such as what might be found in an active antenna. Because of the internal LNA, the overall gain (including signal losses past the external LNA) should not exceed 14 dB. Levels higher than that can affect the jamming detection capability of the HE910. If a higher gain LNA is used, either a resistive Pi or T attenuator can be inserted after the LNA to bring the gain down to 14 dB . The external LNA should have a noise figure better than 1 dB. This will give an overall system noise figure of around 2 dB assuming the LNA gain is 14 dB, or if higher the low gain mode is automatically managed by the HE910 with its internal AGC. The external LNA, if having no pre-select filter, needs to be able to handle other signals other than the GPS signal. These signals are typically at much higher levels. The amplifier needs to stay in the linear region when presented with these other signals. Again, the system designer needs to determine all of the unintended signals and their possible levels that can be presented and make sure the external LNA will not be driven into compression. If this were to happen, the GPS signal itself would start to be attenuated and the GPS performance would suffer. The external LNA needs a source of power. Many of the active antennas accept a 3 volt or 5 volt DC voltage that is impressed upon the RF signal line. This voltage is not supplied by the HE910, but can be easily supplied by the host design.

The antenna cannot be shielded because then it can’t receive the GPS signals. There are two solutions, one is to move the antenna away from the source of interference or the second is to shield the digital interference to prevent it from getting to the antenna. The HE910 due to its characteristics of sensitivity is capable to perform a Fix inside the buildings. (In any case the sensitivity could be affected by the building characteristics i.e. shielding).

After the release of the reset HE910 is unconditionally shut down (in case of HW_SHUTDOWN*) or restart (in case of RESET*), without doing any detach operation from the network where it is registered. This behaviour is not a proper shut down because any GSM device is requested to issue a detach request on turn off.

HE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300925 Rev.18 – 15-06-2012 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved page 65 of 91 In order to interface the HE910 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
