example: receiver sensitivity or maximum
output power may be slightly degraded.
Even so, all the functionalities, such as call
connection, SMS, USB communication,
UART activation etc., will be maintained, and
the effect of such degradations will not lead to
malfunction.

LM940 HW Design Guide
Information – The electrical design for the power supply must ensure
a peak current output of at least 2A.
General Design Rules
The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design
steps:

Electrical design

Thermal design

PCB layout
4.3.1.
Electrical Design Guidelines
The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly on the power source where
this power is drained.
4.3.1.1.
+ 5V Input Source Power Supply – Design Guidelines

The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V. So, the difference between the
input source and the desired output is not big, and therefore a linear regulator can
be used. A switching power supply is preferred to reduce power consumption.

When using a linear regulator, a proper heat sink must be provided to dissipate the
power generated.

A bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided to cut the
current absorption peaks close to the LE925A4 module. A 100 μF tantalum
capacitor is usually suitable (on both VPH_PWR and VPH_PWR_RF together).

Make sure that the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually a
tantalum one) is rated at least 10V.

A protection diode must be inserted close to the power input to protect the
LE925A4 module from power polarity inversion.
Figure shows an example of linear regulator with 5V input.
4.3.2.
Thermal Design Guidelines
The thermal design for the power supply heat sink must be done with the following
specifications:
1VV0301352 Rev. 2
Page 27 of 68
2017-07-19
LM940 HW Design Guide

Average current consumption during RF transmission @PWR level max in LM940
as shown in Section 4.2, Power Consumption table.
Information – The average consumption during transmission depends
on the power level at which the device is requested to transmit via the
network.
Therefore, the average current consumption varies significantly.
Information – The thermal design for the power supply must be made
keeping an average consumption at the maximum transmitting level
during calls of LTE/HSPA.
Considering the very low current during Idle, especially if the Power Saving function is
enabled, it is possible to consider from the thermal point of view that the device absorbs
significant current only during Data session.
In LTE/WCDMA/HSPA mode, the LM940 emits RF signals continuously during
transmission. Therefore, you must pay special attention how to dissipate the heat
generated.
While designing the application board, the designer must make sure that the LM940
module is located on a large ground area of the application board for effective heat
dissipation.
Information – The LM940 must be connected to the ground and metal
chassis of the host board for best RF performance and thermal
dispersion as well as to have module fixed.
4.3.3.

The two holes at the top of the module and the main ground
of the host board must be fastened together.

The shield cover of the module and the main board of the host
board or the metal chassis of the host device should be
connected with conductive materials.
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
1VV0301352 Rev. 2
Page 28 of 68
2017-07-19
LM940 HW Design Guide
is crucial for the correct operation 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 LM940 power input
pins, or if the power supply is of a switching type, it can be placed close to the
inductor to cut the ripple, as long as the PCB trace from the capacitor to LM940 is
wide enough to ensure a drop-less 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 that no voltage drops occur during the 2A current peaks.

The PCB traces to LM940 and the bypass capacitor must be wide enough to
ensure that no significant voltage drops occur when the 2A current peaks are
absorbed. This is needed for the same above-mentioned reasons. Try to keep
these traces 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 the switching power supply). This is done
to reduce the radiated field (noise) at the switching frequency (usually 100500 kHz).

Use a good common ground plane.

Place the power supply on the board in a way to guarantee that the high current
return paths in the ground plane do not overlap any noise sensitive circuitry, such
as the microphone amplifier/buffer or earphone amplifier.

The power supply input cables must be kept separate from noise sensitive lines,
such as microphone/earphone cables.
RTC
The RTC within the LM940 module does not have a dedicated RTC supply pin. The RTC
block is supplied by the VBATT supply.
If VBATT power is removed, RTC is not maintained so if maintaining an internal RTC is
needed, VBATT must be supplied continuously.
Reference Voltage
1.8V regulated power supply output is provided as the reference voltage to a host board.
This output is active when the module is ON and goes OFF when the module is shut
down.

Power On
The LM940 is automatically turning on when the VBATT is supplied.
Information – To turn on the LM940 module, the W_DISABLE_N pin
must not be asserted low.
6.2.1.
Initialization and Activation State
After turning on the LM940 module, the LM940 is not yet activated because the SW
initialization process of the LM940 module is still in process internally. It takes some time
to fully complete the HW and SW initialization of the module.
For this reason, it is impossible to access LM940 during the Initialization state.
As shown in below figure, the LM940 becomes operational (in the Activation state) at least
15 seconds after the VBATT is supplied.

Information – To check if the LM940 has completely powered on,
LM940 and the host must be connected via USB. When USB driver
completely loaded, the module has completely powered on and is
ready to accept AT commands.
Information – During SW initialization of the LM940, the SW configures
all pins and interfaces to their desired mode. When VREG_L6_1P8
goes high, this indicates that the initialization of all I/O pins is
completed.
Information – Active low signals are labeled with a name that ends with
“_N”
Information – To avoid a back-powering effect, it is recommended to
avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of
the module when it is powered OFF or during an ON/OFF transition.
Power Off
The LM940 module can be shut down by a software command.
When a shutdown command is sent, LM940 goes into the Finalization state and at the end
of the finalization process shuts down VREG_L6_1P8. The duration of the finalization
state can differ according to the current situation of the module, so a value cannot be
defined.
Usually, it will take more than 12 seconds from sending a shutdown command until
reaching a complete shutdown. The DTE should monitor the status of VREG_L6_1P8 to
observe the actual power-off.
Information – To completely shut down the LM940 module, the
W_DISABLE_N pin must be asserted low.
Otherwise, the LM940 will turn on again after shut down.

The LM940 module includes super-speed USB3.0 with high-speed USB2.0 backward
compatibility. It is compliant with Universal Serial Bus Specification, Revision 3.0 and can
be used for control and data transfers as well as for diagnostic monitoring and firmware
update.
The USB port is typically the main interface between the LM940 module and OEM
hardware.
USB 3.0 needs series capacitors on the TX lines in both directions for AC coupling. In
order to interface USB3.0 with an application board of customer, 0.1uF capacitors should
be installed on USB_SS_RX_P/M lines of the LM940. There are already series capacitors
on USB_SS_TX_P/M lines inside LM940 module.

6.5.4.1.
Using a GPIO Pin as Input
GPIO pins, when used as inputs, can be tied to a digital output of another device and
report its status, provided the device interface levels are compatible with the GPIO 1.8V
CMOS levels.
If a digital output of a device is tied to GPIO input, the pin has interface levels different
than 1.8V CMOS. It can be buffered with an open collector transistor with a 47 kΩ pull-up
resistor to 1.8V.
6.5.4.2.
Using a GPIO Pin as Output
GPIO pins, when used as outputs, can drive 1.8V CMOS digital devices or compatible
hardware. When set as outputs, the pins have a push-pull output, and therefore the pullup resistor can be omitted.

7. RF SECTION
Antenna requirements
The antenna connection is one of the most important aspect in the full product design as it
strongly affects the product overall performance. Hence read carefully and follow the
requirements and the guidelines for a proper design.
The LM940 is provided with three RF connectors.
The available connectors are:

Main RF antenna: TX/RX path

Auxiliary RF antenna: Combined Diversity and GNSS

GNSS RF antenna: Dedicated GNSS
Main Antenna Requirements
The antenna for the LM940 device must meet the following requirements:
WCDMA / LTE 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)
The bands supported by the LM940 is provided in Section 2.2,
Product Variants and Frequency Bands.
Impedance
50 Ohm
Input power
> 24 dBm average power in WCDMA & LTE
VSWR absolute max
<= 10:1
VSWR recommended
<= 2:1
Antenna Diversity Requirements
This product includes an input for a second Rx antenna to improve radio sensitivity. The
function is called Antenna Diversity.
Antenna Diversity 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)
The bands supported by the LM940 is provided in Section 2.2,
Product Variants and Frequency Bands.
Impedance
50Ω
VSWR recommended
≤ 2:1
1VV0301352 Rev. 2
Page 45 of 68
2017-07-19
LM940 HW Design Guide
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.
GNSS Receiver
The LM940 integrates a GNSS receiver that could be used in Standalone mode and in AGPS (assisted GPS), according to the different configurations.
LM940 supports an active antenna.
Frequency range
• Wide-band GNSS:
1560–1606 MHz recommended
• Narrow-band GPS:
1575.42 MHz ± 2 MHz minimum
• Narrow-band Galileo:
1575.42 MHz ± 2 MHz minimum
• Narrow-band BeiDou:
1561.098 MHz ± 2 MHz minimum
• Narrow-band GLONASS:
1601.72 MHz ± 4.2 MHz minimum.

7.4.1.
GNSS RF Front End Design
The LM940 contains an integrated LNA and pre-select SAW filter.
This allows the module to work well with a passive GNSS antenna. If the antenna cannot
be located near the LM940, then an active antenna (that is, an antenna with a low noise
amplifier built in) can be used with an external dedicated power supply circuit.
GNSS rescive path uses either the dedicated GNSS connector or the shared AUX
connector.

Antenna Installation Guidelines

Install the antenna in a location with access to the network radio signal.

The antenna must be installed such that it provides 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.

The antenna must not be installed inside metal cases.

The antenna must be installed according to the antenna manufacturer’s
instructions.
Furthermore, if the device is developed for the US and/or Canada market, it must comply
with the FCC and/or IC approval requirements.
Information
This device is 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 LM940 module. Antennas used for this OEM module must
not exceed gain of below table for mobile and fixed operating
configurations.
In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain
laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the
FCC/IC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC/IC ID
cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM
integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product
(including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC/IC
authorization.

APPLICATION GUIDE
Debug of the LM940 Module in Production
To test and debug the mounting of the LM940 module, we strongly recommend to add
several test pins on the host PCB for the following purposes:

Checking the connection between the LM940 itself and the application

Testing the performance of the module by connecting it with an external computer
Depending on the customer application, these test pins include, but are not limited to the
following signals:

SYSTEM_RESET_N, W_DISABLE_N, WAKE_N

VBATT, GND

VREG_L6_1P8

USB_D-, USB_D+

USB_SS_TX_M, USB_SS_TX_P, USB_SS_RX_M, USB_SS_RX_P
In addition, the following signals are also recommended (but not mandatory):

WAN_LED_N

GPIO_01, GPIO_02, GPIO_03, GPIO_04
Bypass Capacitor on Power Supplies
When a sudden voltage step is asserted to or a cut from the power supplies, the steep
transition causes some reactions such as overshoot and undershoot. This abrupt voltage
transition can affect the device causing it to not operate or to malfunction.
Bypass capacitors are needed to alleviate this behavior. The behavior can appear
differently depending on the various applications. Customers must pay special attention to
this issue when they design their application board.
The length and width of the power lines must be considered carefully, and the capacitance
of the capacitors must be selected accordingly.
The capacitor will also prevent ripple of the power supplies and the switching noise
caused in TDMA systems such as GSM.
Especially, a suitable bypass capacitor must be mounted on the following lines on the
application board:

VBATT
Recommended values are:

100uF for VBATT
Customers must still consider that the capacitance mainly depends on the conditions of
their application board.
Generally, more capacitance is required when the power line is longer.
And if customers use the fast power down function, then more bypass capacitors should be
mounted on the application board.

Where it can interfere with other electronic devices in environments such as
hospitals, airports, aircrafts, etc.
Where there is risk of explosion such as gasoline stations, oil refineries, etc. It is the
responsibility of the user to enforce the country regulation and the specific
environment regulation.
Do not disassemble the product; any mark of tampering will compromise the warranty
validity. We recommend following the instructions of the hardware user guides for correct
wiring of the product. The product has to be supplied with a stabilized voltage source and
the wiring has to be conformed to the security and fire prevention regulations. The product
has to be handled with care, avoiding any contact with the pins because electrostatic
discharges may damage the product itself. Same cautions have to be taken for the SIM,
checking carefully the instruction for its use. Do not insert or remove the SIM when the
product is in power saving mode.
The system integrator is responsible for the functioning of the final product; therefore, care
has to be taken to the external components of the module, as well as any project or
installation issue, because the risk of disturbing the GSM network or external devices or
having impact on the security. Should there be any doubt, please refer to the technical
documentation and the regulations in force. Every module has to be equipped with a proper
antenna with specific characteristics. The antenna has to be installed with care in order to
avoid any interference with other electronic devices and has to guarantee a minimum
distance from the body (20 cm). In case this requirement cannot be satisfied, the system
integrator has to assess the final product against the SAR regulation.
