Antenna Connector(s) The UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO module is designed with a 50 Ohm RF PAD that permits to interface it with an application equipped by a Rosenberger coaxial Board to board connector. The counterpart suitable is a Rosenberger 99CI106-030L5. Suggested footprint on the application side:

Hardware CommandsHardware CommandsHardware CommandsHardware Commands 5.1. Turning ON the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO To turn on UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO, the pad ON# must be tied low for at least 1 second and then released. The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pad is 0,1 mA. A simple circuit to do it is: ON# Power ON impulse GND R1 R2 Q1

Initialization and Activation state Upon turning on UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO, the module is not activated yet because the boot sequence of UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO is still going on internally. It takes about 10 seconds to complete the initializing the module internally. For this reason, it would be useless to try to access UC864-E-AUTO/ AWS-AUTO during a Initialization state as below. To get the desirable stability, UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO needs at least 10 seconds after the PWRMON goes High. During the Initialization state, any kind of AT-command is not available. DTE must be waiting for the Activation state to communicate with UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO.

Page 16 of 78 For example: 1- Let us assume you need to drive the ON/OFF# pad with a totem pole output of a +1.8/5 V microcontroller (uP_OUT1): NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: To check if the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO has powered on, the hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. When PWRMON goes high, the module has powered on. NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: 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 UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO power regulator and improper power on/off of the module. The line ON/OFF# must be connected only in open collector configuration. NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: 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. NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO turns fully on also by supplying power to the Charge pad (provided there is a battery on the VBATT pads). 1s 10k 1.8 / 5V

Turning OFF the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO Turning off the device can be done in three ways: • by software command (see UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO Software User Guide) • by hardware shutdown • by Hardware Unconditional Restart When the device is shut down by software command or by hardware shutdown, it issues to the network a detach request that informs the network that the device will not be reachable any more.

Page 18 of 78 5.3.1. Shutdown by Software Command UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO can be shut down by a software command. When a shut down command is sent, UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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 according to the situation in which the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO is so it cannot be fixed definitely. Normally it will be above 10 seconds later from sending a shut down command and DTE should monitor the status of PWRMON to see the actual power off. TIP: TIP: TIP: TIP: To check if the device has powered off, hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. When PWRMON goes low, the device has powered off.

Same circuitry and timing for the power on must be used. When the hold time of ON/OFF# is above 2 seconds, UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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 according to the situation in which the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO is so it cannot be fixed definitely. Normally it will be above 10 seconds later from releasing ON/OFF# and DTE should monitor the status of PWRMON to see the actual power off. TIP: TIP: TIP: TIP: To check if the device has powered off, hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. When PWRMON goes low, the device has powered off.

Page 23 of 78 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. TIP: TIP: TIP: TIP: The electrical design for the Power supply must be made ensuring that it will be capable of a peak current output of at least 2A.

General Design Rules The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps: • the electrical design • the thermal design • the PCB layout 6.2.1. 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 three categories: • +5V input (typically PC internal regulator output) • +12V input (typically automotive) • battery 6.2.1.1. + 5V Input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines • 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. • When using a linear regulator, a proper heat sink must 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 UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO, 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 must be inserted close to the power input, in order to save UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO from power polarity inversion.

Page 25 of 78 An example of linear regulator with 5V input is: 6.2.1.2. + 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 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 UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO. • 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 must 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 for this.

Page 26 of 78 • 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 must be inserted close to the power input, in order to clean the supply from spikes. • A protection diode must be inserted close to the power input, in order to save UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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):

Page 27 of 78 6.2.1.3. Battery Source Power Supply Design Guidelines • The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V and the maximum allowed voltage is 4.2V, hence a single 3.7V Li-Ion cell battery type is suited for supplying the power to the Telit UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO module. 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 UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO and damage it. • 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 must be inserted close to the power input, in order to save UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO from power polarity inversion. Otherwise the battery connector must 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. NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: Do not use any Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Pb battery types directly connected with UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO. Their use can lead to overvoltage on UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO and damage it. Use only Li-Ion battery types.

Page 28 of 78 6.2.1.4. Battery Charge Control Circuitry Design Guidelines The charging process for Li-Ion Batteries can be divided into 4 phases: • qualification and trickle charging • fast charge 1 - constant current • final charge - constant voltage or pulsed charging • maintenance charge The qualification process consists of a battery voltage measure, indicating roughly its charge status. If the battery is deeply discharged, meaning its voltage is lower than the trickle charging threshold, then charging must start slowly, possibly with a current limited to the pre-charging process. The current must be kept very low with respect to the fast charge value. During trickle charging the voltage across the battery terminals rises; when it reaches the fast charge threshold level the charging process goes into a fast charge phase. During the fast charge phase the process proceeds with a current limited for charging; this current limit depends on the required time for completing the charge and on battery pack capacity. During this phase the voltage across the battery terminals still raises but at a lower rate. Once the battery voltage reaches its maximum voltage the process goes into its third state: Final charging. The voltage measure to change the process status into final charge is very important. It must be ensured that the maximum battery voltage is never exceeded, otherwise the battery may be damaged and even explode. Moreover, for constant final chargers, the voltage phase (final charge) must not start before the battery voltage has reached its maximum value, otherwise the battery capacity will be slightly reduced. The final charge can be of two different types: constant voltage or pulsed. UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO uses constant voltage. The constant voltage charge proceeds with a fixed voltage regulator (very accurately set to the maximum battery voltage) and the current will decrease while the battery is becoming charged. When the charging current falls below a certain fraction of the fast charge current value, the battery is considered fully charged, the final charge stops and eventually starts the maintenance. The pulsed charge process has no voltage regulation, instead charge continues with pulses. Usually the pulse charge works in the following manner: the charge is stopped for some time, let us say few hundreds of ms, then the battery voltage will be measured and when it drops below its maximum value, a fixed time length charging pulse is issued. As the battery approaches its full charge, the off time will become longer and the duty-cycle of the pulses will decrease. The battery is considered fully charged when the pulse duty-cycle is less than a threshold value,
UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO Hardware User Guide 1vv0300795 Rev.11 – 2010/11/18 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A’s. written authorization - All Rights Reserved. Page 29 of 78 typically 10%. When this happens, the pulse charge stops and eventually the maintenance starts. The last phase is not properly a charging phase, since the battery at this point is fully charged and the process may stop after the final charge. The maintenance charge provides an additional charging process to compensate the charge leak typical of a Li-Ion battery. It is done by issuing pulses with a fixed time length, again few hundreds of ms, and a duty-cycle around 5% or less. This last phase is not implemented in the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO internal charging algorithm so once-charged battery is left discharging down to a certain threshold. It is cycled from full charge to slight discharge even if the battery charger is inserted. This guarantees that the remaining charge in the battery is a good percentage and that the battery is not damaged by keeping it always fully charged (Li-Ion rechargeable batteries usually deteriorate when kept fully charged). Last but not least, in some applications, it is highly desired that the charging process restarts when the battery is discharged and its voltage drops below a certain threshold. This is typical for the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO internal charger. As you can see, the charging process is not a trivial task to do; moreover all these operations must start only if battery temperature is inside charging range, usually 5°C - 45°C. The UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO measures the temperature of its internal component in order to satisfy this last requirement. This not exactly the same as the battery temperature but in common use, the two temperatures must not differ too much and the charging temperature range must be guaranteed.

Page 30 of 78 6.2.2. Thermal Design Guidelines The thermal design for the power supply heat sink must be done with the following specifications: • Average current consumption during HSDPA transmission @PWR level max in UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO : 730mA • Average current consumption during class12 GPRS transmission @PWR level max: 650mA NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: For all the threshold voltages, inside UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO, all thresholds are fixed in order to maximize Li-Ion battery performances and do not need to be changed. NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: In this application the battery charger input current must be limited to less than 400mA. This can be done by using a current limited wall adapter as the power source. NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: When starting the charger from Module powered off, the startup will be in CFUN4; to activate the normal mode a command AT+CFUN=1 has to be provided. There is also the possibility to activate the normal mode using the ON_OFF* signal. In this case, when HW powering off the module with the same line (ON_OFF*) and having the charger still connected, the module will go back to CFUN4. NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE: It is important to have a 100ųF Capacitor to VBAT in order to avoid instability of the charger circuit if the battery is accidentally disconnected during the charging activity.

Page 31 of 78 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 730mA 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 730mA (being usually around 250mA). 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 UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO, you can consider it to be during transmission 2W max. This generated heat will be mostly conducted to the ground plane under the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO; you must ensure that your application can dissipate heat In the WCDMA/HSDPA mode, since UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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 730mA in HSDPA (680mA in WCDMA) continuously at the maximum TX output power (24dBm). Thus, you must arrange the PCB area as large as possible under UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO which you will mount. You must mount UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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. NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: 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: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: The thermal design for the Power supply must be made keeping an average consumption at the max transmitting level during calls of 730mA rms.

Page 32 of 78 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. • The Bypass low ESR capacitor must be placed close to the Telit UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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 UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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 no voltage drops to 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 (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 UC864-E-AUTO, then this noise is not so disturbing and power supply layout design can be more forgiving. • The PCB traces to UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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. • 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). • The use of a good common ground plane is suggested.

Page 33 of 78 • 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. • The power supply input cables must be kept separately from noise sensitive lines such as microphone/earphone cables.

Whenever this signal is pulled low, UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO is reset. When the device is reset it stops all operations. After the release of the reset UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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.

Serial PortsSerial PortsSerial PortsSerial Ports The serial port on the Telit UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO is another possible interface between the module and OEM hardware. 2 serial ports are available on the module: • MODEM SERIAL PORT; • MODEM SERIAL PORT 2 (DEBUG). 10.1. Modem Serial Port Several configurations can be designed for the serial port on the OEM hardware. The most common are: • RS232 PC com port; • microcontroller UART @ 2.6V – 2.9V (Universal Asynchronous Receive Transmit) ; • microcontroller UART @ 5V or other voltages different from 2.6V . 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 2.6V UART. The serial port on UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO is a +2.6V UART with all the 7 RS232 signals. It differs from the PC-RS232 in signal polarity (RS232 is reversed) and levels.

The resistance can be calculated from the DC characteristics considering a level of 2.6V DC. In this case I_ILPU(input low leakage current with pull-up) is between -60 and -10uA. Then the resistance can be calculated as V/I=2.6/60u ~ 2.6/10u = 43.3K ~ 260K. In case of pull-down, it can be calculated in the same way.

Page 43 of 78 10.2. RS232 Level Translation In order to interface the Telit UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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 0/2.6V 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 0-2.6V UART to the RS232 level. The receiver is the translator from the RS232 level to 0-2.6V UART. In order to translate the whole set of control lines of the UART you will need: • 5 drivers • 3 receivers NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: The digital input lines working at 2.6V CMOS have an absolute maximum input voltage of 3.0V; therefore the level translator IC shall not be powered by the +3.8V supply of the module. Instead, it must be powered from a +2.6V / +2.9V (dedicated) power supply. This is because in this way the level translator IC outputs on the module side (i.e. UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO inputs) will work at +3.8V interface levels, damaging the module inputs.

NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: In this case Vin has to be set with a value compatible with the logic levels of the module. (Max 2.9V DC). In this configuration the SP3282EB will adhere to EIA/TIA-562 voltage levels instead of RS232 (-5 ~ +5V)

Page 45 of 78 Second solution could be done using a MAXIM transceiver (MAX218) In this case the compliance with RS232 (+-5V) is possible. Another level adapting method could be done using a standard RS232 Transceiver (MAX3237EAI) adding some resistors to adapt the levels on the UC864 Input lines. NOTE: In this case has to be taken in account the length of the lines on the application to avoid problems in case of High-speed rates on RS232. The RS232 serial port lines are usually connected to a DB9 connector with the following layout: signal names and directions are named and defined from the DTE point of view.

Page 46 of 78 10.3. 5V UART Level Transition If the OEM application uses a microcontroller with a serial port (UART) that works at a voltage different from 2.6 – 2.9V, then a circuitry has to adapt the different levels of the two signal sets. As for the RS232 translation, there are a multitude of single chip translators. For example a possible translator circuit for a 5V TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER can be: TIP: TIP: TIP: TIP: This logic IC for the level translator and 2.6V pull-ups (not the 5V one) can be powered directly from PWRMON line of UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO. Note that the TC7SZ07AE has open drain output; therefore the resistor R2 is mandatory.

Page 47 of 78 A power source of the internal interface voltage corresponding to the 2.6V CMOS high level is available at the VAUX pin on the connector. A maximum of 9 resistors of 47 KΩ pull-up can be connected to the VAUX pin, provided no other devices are connected to it and the pulled-up lines are UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO input lines connected to open collector outputs in order to avoid latch-up problems on UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO. Careful approach is needed to avoid latch-up on UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO and the use of this output line to power electronic devices must be avoided, especially for devices that generate spikes and noise such as switching level translators, micro controllers, failure in any of these condition can severely compromise the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO functionality. NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: The input lines working at 2.6VCMOS can be pulled-up with 47KΩ resistors that can be connected directly to the VAUX line. It is a must that they are connected as in this example. The preferable configuration is having external supply for the buffer.

Audio Section OverviewAudio Section OverviewAudio Section OverviewAudio Section Overview 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: • internal audio transducers  HS/MTHS/MTHS/MTHS/MT (from HHHHandSSSSet or MMMMicroTTTTelephone ) • external audio transducers  HF HF HF HF (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 yhe 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. The Base Band Chip of the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO Telit Module maintains the same architecture.

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 2.6V 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 2.6V CMOS. It can be buffered with an open collector transistor with a 47KΩ pull-up resistor to 2.6V. 12.3. Using a GPIO Pad as Output The GPIO pads, when used as outputs, can drive 2.6V 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.

Using the RF Transmission Control GPIO4 The GPIO4 pin, when configured as RF Transmission Control Input, permits to disable the Transmitter when the GPIO is set to Low by the application. In the design it is necessary to add a pull up resistor (47K to PWRMON). 12.5. Using the RFTXMON Output GPIO5 The GPIO5 pin, when configured as RFTXMON Output, is controlled by the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO module and will rise when the transmitter is active and fall after the transmitter activity is completed. For example, if a call is started, the line will be HIGH during all conversations and it will be again LOW after hanged up. The line rises up 300ms before first TX burst and will become again LOW from 500ms to 1sec after last TX burst. 12.6. Using the Alarm Output GPIO6 The GPIO6 pad, when configured as Alarm Output, is controlled by the UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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 UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO 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 UC864-E-AUTO / AWS-AUTO during sleep periods. This will dramatically reduce the sleep consumption to few µA. In battery-powered devices this feature will greatly improve the autonomy of the device. NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: During RESET the line is set to HIGH logic level.

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

Page 59 of 78 12.8.2. Frequency Behavior The frequency behavior represents the effectiveness of the reproduction of the applied signals. Because its performance is related to a square driving waveform (whose amplitude varies from 0V to Vpp), if you modify the waveform (e.g. from square to sinus) the frequency response will change. 12.8.3. Power Supply Influence After applying a signal with a different amplitude from suggested by the manufacturer, a performance change will follow, according to the rule “if resonance frequency ffffoooo increases, amplitude decreases”. Because resonance frequency depends on acoustic design and lowering the amplitude of the driving signal, the response bandwidth tends to become narrow, and vice versa. Summarizing: Vpp ↑  ffffo o o o ↓ Vpp  ffffo o o o ↑ The risk is that the ffffo o o o could easily fall outside of new bandwidth; consequently the SPL could be much lower than the expected. 12.8.4. Working Current Influence In the component data sheet you will find the value of MAX CURRENT: this represents the maximum average current that can flow at nominal voltage without current limitation. In other words it is not the peak current, which could be twice or three times higher. If driving circuitry does not support these peak values, the SPL will never reach the declared level or the oscillations will stop. WARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNING: It is very important to respect the sense of the applied voltage: never apply to the "-" pin a voltage more positive than "+" pin. If this happens, the diaphragm vibrates in the opposite sense with a high probability to be expelled from its physical position. This damages the device permanently.

Page 72 of 78 15.2. Bypass capacitor on Power supplies When a sudden voltage is asserted to or cut from the power supplies, the steep transition makes some reactions such as the overshoot and undershoot. This abrupt voltage transition can affect the device not to work or make it malfunction. The bypass capacitors are needed to alleviate this behavior and it can be affected differently according to the various applications. The customers have to pay special attention to this when they design their application board.. The length and width of the power lines need to be considered carefully and the capacitance of the capacitors need to be selected accordingly. The capacitor will also avoid the ripple of the power supplies and the switching noise caused in TDMA system like GSM. Specially the suitable bypass capacitor must be mounted on the Vbatt (Pin 1,2,3,4) and USB_VBUS (Pin 48) lines in the application board. The recommended values can be presented as;  100uF for Vbatt  10uF for USB_VBUS But the customers still have to consider that the capacitance mainly depends on the conditions of their application board. Generally more capacitance is required as the power line is longer. 15.3. SIM interface The resistor value on SIMIO pulled up to SIMVCC should be defined accordingly in order to be compliant to 3GPP specification. 6.8kohm can be recommended but it may depend on the application design..
