4 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 performances, hence read carefully the requirements and the guidelines that will follow

for a proper design.

4.1 Power Supply Requirements

The external power supply must be connected to VBATT & VBATT_PA signals and must fulfil the following

requirements:

Power Supply

Value

Nominal Supply Voltage

3.8V

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 3.10 V to power on the module.

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 completely assumption

and application of the HW User guide suggestions.

NOTE:

The electrical design for the Power supply should be made ensuring it will be

capable of a peak current output of at least:

0.8 A for WCDMA and LTE mode (3.80V supply).

2A for GSM mode (3.80V supply).

NOTE:

The reported values are an average among all the product variants and bands

for each network wireless technology.

The support of specific network wireless technology depends on product

variant configuration.

4.3 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.

4.3.1 Electrical Design Guidelines

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

4.3.1.1 +5V 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 Module, a 100μF capacitor is usually suited.

• Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output rated at least 10V.

An example of linear regulator with 5V input is:

4.3.1.2 + 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.

• 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 capacitor is usually suited.

• Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output 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.

An example of switching regulator with 12V input is in the below schematic:

LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.10 • 2017-08-29 25 of 84

4.3.1.3 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 LE910 V2 module.

• 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 LE910 V2 from power

polarity inversion. Otherwise the battery connector should be done in a way to avoid polarity inversions

when connecting the battery.

• The battery must be rated to supply peaks of current up to 0.8 A for LTE and WCDMA mode and 2A for

GSM mode.

NOTE:

DON'T USE any Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Pb battery types directly connected with LE910 V2.

Their use can lead to overvoltage on the LE910 V2 and damage it. USE ONLY Li-Ion

battery types.

4.3.1.4 Thermal Design Guidelines

Worst case as reference values for thermal design of LE910 V2 are:

• Average current consumption: 800 mA

• Supply voltage: 3.80V

NOTE:

Make PCB design in order to have the best connection of GND pads to large surfaces.

NOTE:

The LE910 V2 includes a function to prevent overheating.

LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.10 • 2017-08-29 27 of 84

4.3.1.5 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 on the input to protect the supply from spikes The placement of this component 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 LE910 V2 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 LE910 V2 is wide enough to ensure a dropless connection even during

an 0.8 A current peak.

• 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 an 2 A current peak is absorbed (worst case of GSM mode).

• The PCB traces to the LE910 V2 and the Bypass capacitor must be wide enough to ensure no significant

voltage drops occur. This is for the same reason as previous point. Try to keep this trace as short as

possible.

• To reduce the EMI due to switching, it is important to keep very small the mesh involved; thus the input

capacitor, the output diode (if not embodied in the IC) and the regulator have to form a very small loop.This

is done in order to reduce the radiated field (noise) at the switching frequency (100-500 kHz usually).

• A dedicated ground for the Switching regulator separated by the 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.

• The insertion of EMI filter on VBATT pins is suggested in those designs where antenna is placed close to

battery or supply lines. A ferrite bead like Murata BLM18EG101TN1 or Taiyo Yuden P/N

FBMH1608HM101 can be used for this purpose.

4.4 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 capacitor can be added in order to increase the RTC autonomy during power off of

the battery. NO Devices must be powered from this pin.

In order to keep the RTC active when VBATT is not supplied it is possible to back up the RTC section connecting

a backup circuit to the related VRTC signal (pad C14 on module’s Pinout).

For additional details on the Backup solutions please refer to the related application note (xE910 RTC Backup

Application Note)

4.5 VAUX Power Output

A regulated power supply output is provided in order to supply small devices from the module. The signal is present

on Pad R11 and it is in common with the PWRMON (module powered ON indication) function.

This output is always active when the module is powered ON.

5.2 Power on

To turn on the LE910 V2 the pad ON_OFF* must be tied low for at least 5 seconds 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:

Don't 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 LE910 V2 power regulator and improper

power on/off of the module. The line ON_OFF* must be connected only in open collector

or open drain configuration.

In this document all the lines that are inverted, hence have active low signals are labelled

with a name that ends with”#",”*” or with a bar over the name.

To check if the device has powered on, the hardware line PWRMON should be monitored.

It is mandatory to avoid sending data to the serial ports during the first 200ms of the

module start-up.

For example:

1- Let's assume you need to drive the ON_OFF* pad with a totem pole output of a +3/5 V microcontroller

(uP_OUT1):

2- Let's assume you need to drive the

ON_OFF* pad directly with an ON/OFF button:

LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.10 • 2017-08-29 35 of 84

WARNING

It is recommended to set the ON_OFF* line LOW to power on the module only

after VBATT is higher than 3.10V.

In case this condition it is not satisfied you could use the HW_SHUTDOWN*

line to recover it and then restart the power on activity using the ON_OFF *

line.

An example of this is described in the following diagram.

Power ON diagram:

After HW_SHUTSDOWN* is released you could again use the ON_OFF* line to power on the module.

LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.10 • 2017-08-29 36 of 84

5.3 Power off

Turning off of the device can be done in two ways:

• via AT command (see LE910 V2 Software User Guide, AT#SHDN)

• by tying low pin ON_OFF*

Either ways, the device issues a detach request to network informing that the device will not be reachable any more.

To turn OFF the LE910 V2 the pad ON_OFF* must be tied low for at least 3 seconds and then released.

NOTE:

To check if the device has been powered off, the hardware line PWRMON must be

monitored. The device is powered off when PWRMON goes low.

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 LE910 V2 when the module is powered

off or during an ON/OFF transition.

5.4 Unconditional Shutdown

HW_SHUTDOWN* is used to unconditionally shutdown the LE910 V2. Whenever this signal is pulled low, the

LE910 V2 is reset. When the device is reset it stops any operation. After the release of the line, the LE910 V2 is

unconditionally shut down, without doing any detach operation from the network where it is registered. This

behaviour is not a proper shut down because any WCDMA device is requested to issue a detach request on turn

off. The HW_SHUTDOWN* is internally controlled on start-up to achieve always a proper power-on reset sequence,

so there's no need to control this pin on start-up.

To unconditionally shutdown the LE910 V2, the pad HW_SHUTDOWN* must be tied low for at least 200

milliseconds and then released.

The signal is internally pulled up so the pin can be left floating if not used.

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.

(uP_OUT2):

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 LE910 V2 when the module is powered

off or during an ON/OFF transition.

In the following flow chart is detailed the proper restart procedure:

NOTE:

Do not use any pull up resistor on the HW_SHUTDOWN* line nor any totem pole digital

output. Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the LE910 V2 power

regulator and improper functioning of the module.

To proper power on again the module please refer to the related paragraph (“Power ON”)

The unconditional hardware shutdown must always be implemented on the boards and

should be used only as an emergency exit procedure.

5.5 Fast power down

The procedure to power off LE910 V2 described in Chapter 5.3 normally takes more than 1 second to detach from

network and make LE910 V2 internal filesystem properly closed.

In case of unwanted supply voltage loss the system can be switched off without any risk of filesystem data corruption

by implementing Fast Shut Down feature.

Fast Shut Down feature permits to reduce the current consumption and the time-to-poweroff to minimum values.

NOTE:

Refer to LE910 V2 series AT command reference guide (Fast power down -

#FASTSHDN) in order to set up detailed AT command.

5.5.1 Fast Shut Down by Hardware

The Fast Power Down can be triggered by configuration of any GPIO. HI level to LOW level transition of GPIO

commands fast power down.

Example circuit:

NOTE:

In case of power on with slow ramp-up of Vbatt supply voltage while ON/OFF* is tied to

GND (case possibile if timing are not properly controlled), HW_SHUTDOWN* line has to

be used according to power on diagram in chapter 5.2.

LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.10 • 2017-08-29 42 of 84

NOTE:

Consider voltage drop under max current conditions when defining the voltage detector

thereshold in order to avoid unwanted shutdown.

Tipical timings are reported in the plot above when testing the example circuit with Ctank=47mF.

The capacitor is rated with the following formula:

where 80mA is a typical current during fast shut down procedure, 300ms is the typical time to execute the shutdown

and 0.5V is the minimum voltage marging from threshold of LE910 V2 hardware reset.

TIP:

Make the same plot during system verification to check timings and voltage levels.

5.5.2 Fast Shut Down by Software

The Fast Power Down can be triggered by AT command.

5.6.3 Serial Ports

The LE910 V2 module is provided with by 2 Asynchronous serial ports:

• MODEM SERIAL PORT 1 (Main)

• MODEM SERIAL PORT 2 (Auxiliary)

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 @ 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. On the LE910 V2 the ports are CMOS 1.8.

5.6.3.1 Modem serial port 1 (USIF0)

The serial port 1 on the LE910 V2 is a +1.8V UART with all the 7 RS232 signals. It differs from the PC-RS232 in

the signal polarity (RS232 is reversed) and levels.

NOTE:

According to V.24, some signal names are referred to the application side, therefore on

the LE910 V2 side these signal are on the opposite direction:

TXD on the application side will be connected to the receive line (here named C103/TXD)

RXD on the application side will be connected to the transmit line (here named

C104/RXD)

For a minimum implementation, only the TXD, RXD lines can be connected, the other

lines can be left open provided a software flow control is implemented.

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 LE910 V2 when the module is powered

off or during an ON/OFF transition.

5.6.3.2 Modem serial port 2 (USIF1)

5.6.3.3 RS232 level translation

In order to interface the LE910 V2 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

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 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:

5.7 General Purpose I/O

The LE910 V2 module is provided by a set of Configurable Digital Input / Output pins (CMOS 1.8V). Input pads can

only 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 LE910 V2 firmware and acts depending on the function

implemented.

5.7.1 Using a GPIO 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 supplied by

VAUX/POWERMON R11 pad.

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 LE910 V2 when the module is powered

off or during an ON/OFF transition.

5.7.2 Using a GPIO 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.

5.7.3 Indication of network service availability

The STAT_LED pin status shows information on the network service availability and Call status.

The function is available as alternate function of GPIO_01 (to be enabled using the AT#GPIO=1,0,2 command).

In the LE910 V2 modules, the STAT_LED needs an external transistor to drive an external LED and its voltage level

is defined accordingly to the table below:.

6.4.1 PCB design guidelines

When using the LE910 V2, since there's no antenna connector on the module, the antenna must be connected to

the LE910 V2 antenna pad (K1) by means of a transmission line implemented on the PCB.

This transmission line shall fulfil the following requirements:

The transmission line should be designed according to the following guidelines:

• Make sure that the transmission line’s characteristic impedance is 50ohm ;

• Keep line on the PCB as short as possible, since the antenna line loss shall be less than about 0,3 dB;

• Line geometry should have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid meanders and abrupt

curves;

• Any kind of suitable geometry / structure (Microstrip, Stripline, Coplanar, Grounded Coplanar

Waveguide...) can be used for implementing the printed transmission line afferent the antenna;

• If a Ground plane is required in line geometry, that plane has to be continuous and sufficiently extended,

so the geometry can be as similar as possible to the related canonical model;

• Keep, if possible, at least one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane; If possible, use this layer

as reference Ground plane for the transmission line;

• It is wise to surround (on both sides) the PCB transmission line with Ground, avoid having other signal

tracks facing directly the antenna line track.

• Avoid crossing any un-shielded transmission line footprint with other signal tracks on different layers;

• The ground surrounding the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the main Ground Plane

by means of via holes (once per 2mm at least), placed close to the ground edges facing line track;

• Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from LE910 V2 antenna line;

• Keep the antenna line far away from the LE910 V2 power supply lines;

• If EM noisy devices (such as fast switching ICs, LCD and so on) are present on the PCB hosting the

LE910, take care of the shielding of the antenna line by burying it in an inner layer of PCB and surround it

with Ground planes, or shield it with a metal frame cover.

• If EM noisy devices are not present around the line, the use of geometries like Microstrip or Grounded

Coplanar Waveguide has to be preferred, since they typically ensure less attenuation if compared to a

Stripline having same length;

6.4.2 PCB Guidelines in case of FCC Certification

In the case FCC certification is required for an application using LE910 V2, according to FCC KDB 996369 for

modular approval requirements, the transmission line has to be similar to that implemented on LE910 V2 interface

board and described in the following chapter.

6.4.2.1 Transmission line design

During the design of the LE910 V2 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

εr = 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:

LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.10 • 2017-08-29 61 of 84

6.4.2.2 Transmission Line Measurements

An 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 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:

following figure:

Insertion Loss of G-CPW line plus SMA connector is shown below:

LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.10 • 2017-08-29 63 of 84

6.4.2.3 Antenna Installation Guidelines

• Install the antenna in a place covered by the LTE signal.

• Antenna must not be installed inside metal cases

• Antenna shall also be installed according Antenna manufacturer instructions

• Antenna integration should optimize the Radiation Efficiency. Efficiency values > 50% are recommended

on all frequency bands

• Antenna integration should not dramatically perturb the radiation pattern. It is preferable to get, after

antenna installation, an omnidirectional radiation pattern, at least in one pattern cut

• Antenna Gain must not exceed values indicated in regulatory requirements, where applicable, in order to

meet related EIRP limitations. Typical antenna Gain in most M2M applications does not exceed 2dBi

• If the device antenna is located farther than 20cm from the human body and there are no co-located

transmitter then the Telit FCC/IC approvals can be re-used by the end product

• If the device antenna is located closer than 20cm from the human body or there are co-located transmitter

then the additional FCC/IC testing may be required for the end product (Telit FCC/IC approvals cannot be

reused)

LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.10 • 2017-08-29 66 of 84

When using the LE910 V2, since there's no antenna connector on the module, the diversity antenna must be

connected to the LE910 V2 Diversity Antenna pad (F1) by means of a transmission line implemented on the PCB.

The second Rx antenna should not be located in the close vicinity of main antenna. In order to improve Diversity

Gain, Isolation and reduce mutual interaction, the two antennas should be located at the maximum reciprocal

distance possible, taking into consideration the available space into the application. For the same reason, the Rx

antenna should also be cross-polarized with respect to the main antenna.

Isolation between main antenna and Rx antenna must be at least 10 dB in all uplink frequency bands.

Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) value should be as close as possible to zero, for best diversity

performance. ECC values below 0.5 on all frequency bands are recommended.

6.5.1 Single Antenna Operation

In 2G and 3G mode second antenna (Diversity) is optional and secondary receiver can be disabled. In 4G LTE

mode, 3GPP standard does not include single antenna operation because MIMO is the standard downlink

configuration in this cellular system and because of reduced overall downlink performance when one or more

neighbor cells are present.

Nevertheless, LE910 V2 might be used with second antenna removed or not connected if this degradation in

performance is accepted: for some MNOs, for example, a single receive antenna could be permissible with Cat.1

devices that operates at very low data rates (integrators should always refer to their network-provider to double

check requirements applicability conditions).

When possible, add a 50ohm (or 47ohm) resistor in order to terminate correctly the secondary receiver input and/or

to provide antenna connection for test/debug purposes.

9 APPLICATION PCB DESIGN

The LE910 V2 modules have been designed in order to be compliant with a standard lead-free SMT process.

9.1 Footprint

TOP VIEW

In order to easily rework the LE910 V2 is suggested to consider on the application a 1.5 mm placement inhibit 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.

NOTE:

In the customer application, the region under WIRING INHIBIT (see figure above) must

be clear from signal or ground paths.

9.2 PCB pad design

Non solder mask defined (NSMD) type is recommended for the solder pads on the PCB.

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’s PCB, however in that case it is suggested to use milled contours and

predrilled board breakouts; scoring or v-cut solutions are not recommended.
