If not used, almost all pins should be left disconnected. The only exceptions are the following
pins:
RTS pin should be connected to the GND (on the module side) if flow control is not used.
The above pins are also necessary to debug the application when the module is assembled on it so we
recommend connecting them also to dedicated test point.

To turn on the UE910 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 UE910 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.

Turning off of the device can be done in two ways:
via AT command (see UE910 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 UE910 the pad ON_OFF* must be tied low for at least 3 seconds and then
released.
TIP:
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.

The Unconditional Shutdown of the module could be activated using the
HW_SHUTDOWN* line (pad R13).
WARNING:
The hardware unconditional Shutdown must not be used during normal operation of the device
since it does not detach the device from the network. It shall be kept as an emergency exit
procedure.
To unconditionally shutdown the UE910, the pad HW_SHUTDOWN* must be tied low for at
least 200 milliseconds and then released.
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 UE910 power regulator and
improper functioning of the module. The line HW_SHUTDOWN* must be connected only in
open collector configuration.
The HW_SHUTDOWN* is generating an unconditional shutdown of the module without an
automatic restart.
The module will shutdown, but will NOT perform the detach from the cellular network.
To proper power on again the module please refer to the related paragraph (“Powering ON the
UE910”)
TIP:
The unconditional hardware shutdown must always be implemented on the boards and should be
used only as an emergency exit procedure.

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.
The external power supply must be connected to VBATT & VBATT_PA signals and must fulfil
the following requirements:
POWER SUPPLY
Nominal Supply Voltage
3.8 V
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 3.2 V to power on the module
NOTE:
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.

The GSM system is made in a way that the RF transmission is not continuous, else 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 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.
The UE910-EUx variants are supporting EDGE class 33; the NAx variants support EDGE class
10.

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 UE910, 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 UE910
from power polarity inversion.

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 UE910.
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 UE910
from power polarity inversion. This can be the same diode as for spike protection.

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 UE910 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 UE910 and damage it.
NOTE:
DON'T USE any Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Pb battery types directly connected with UE910. Their use
can lead to overvoltage on the UE910 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 UE910 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.

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 :
800 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 UE910, you can consider it to be during transmission 1W max
during CSD/VOICE calls and 2W max during class12 GPRS upload.
This generated heat will be mostly conducted to the ground plane under the UE910; you must
ensure that your application can dissipate it.

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 UE910 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
UE910 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 UE910, then this noise is not so
disturbing and power supply layout design can be more forgiving.
The PCB traces to the UE910 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.

When using the UE910, since there's no antenna connector on the module, the antenna must
be connected to the UE910 antenna pad (K1) by means of a transmission line implemented
on the PCB.
In the case the antenna is not directly connected at the antenna pad of the UE910, then a PCB
line is needed in order to connect with it or with its connector.
This transmission line shall fulfil the following requirements:

comply with the FCC and/or IC approval requirements:
This device is to be used only for mobile and fixed application. In order to re-use the Telit
FCC/IC approvals 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. If antenna is installed with a separation
distance of less than 20 cm from all persons or is co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter then additional FCC/IC testing may be required. End-Users
must be provided with transmitter operation conditions for satisfying RF exposure
compliance.
Antennas used for this OEM module must not exceed the gains for mobile and fixed
operating configurations as described in “FCC/IC Regulatory notices” chapter.

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
around 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 UE910 antenna line;
Keep the antenna line far away from the UE910 power supply lines;
If EM noisy devices are present on the PCB hosting the UE910, 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 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;
Install the antenna in a place covered by the GSM signal.
If the device antenna is located greater then 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 less than 20cm from the human body or there are no co-
located transmitter then the additional FCC/IC testing may be required for the end product
(Telit FCC/IC approvals cannot be reused)
Antenna shall not be installed inside metal cases

HW_SHUTDOWN*
Unconditional Shutdown of the Module

R13
HW_SHUTDOWN* is used to unconditionally shutdown the UE910. Whenever this signal is
pulled low, the UE910 is reset. When the device is reset it stops any operation. After the release
of the line, the UE910 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 GSM
device is requested to issue a detach request on turn off. For this reason the HW_SHUTDOWN*
signal must not be used to 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 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.
It may only be used to reset a device already on that is not responding to any command.
NOTE:
Do not use this signal to power off the UE910. Use the ON/OFF signal to perform this function
or the AT#SHDN command.

In order to interface the UE910 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:

The bias for the microphone has to be as clean as possible; the first connection (single ended) is
preferable since the Vmic noise and ground noise are fed into the input as common mode and
then rejected. This sounds strange; usually the connection to use in order to reject the common
mode is the balanced one. In this situation we have to recall that the microphone is a sound to
current transducer, so the resistor is the current to tension transducer, so finally the resistor feeds
the input in balanced way even if the configuration, from a microphone point of view, seems to
be un-balanced.
The following images show some connection examples:

If a "balanced way" is anyway desired, much more care has to be taken to Vmic noise and
ground noise; also the 33pF-100Ohm-33pF RF-filter has to be doubled (one each wire).
TIP: Since the J-FET transistor inside the microphone acts as RF-detector-amplifier, ask
vendor for a microphone with anti-EMI capacitor (usually a 33pF or a 10pF capacitor placed
across the output terminals inside the case).

If the audio source is not a mike but a different device, the following connections can be done.
Place 100nF capacitor in series with both inputs, so the DC current is blocked.
Place the 33pF-100Ohm-33pF RF-filter, in order to prevent some EMI field to get into the high
impedance high gain MIC inputs.
Since the input is differential, the common mode voltage noise between the two (different)
ground is rejected, provided that both MIC+ & MIC- are connected directly onto the source.

The audio output of the UE910 is balanced, this is helpful to double the level and to reject
common mode (click and pop are common mode and therefore rejected).
These outputs can drive directly a small loudspeaker with electrical impedance not lower than
16 Ohm.
TIP: in order to get the maximum audio level at a given output voltage level (dBspl/Vrms), the
following breaking through procedure can be used. Have the loudspeaker as close as you can to
the listener (this simplify also the echo cancelling); choose the loudspeaker with the higher
sensitivity (dBspl per W); choose loudspeakers with the impedance close to the limit, in order to
feed more power inside the transducer (it increases the W/Vrms ratio). If this were not enough,
an external amplifier should be used.

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.
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 UE910 when the module is powered off or during
an ON/OFF transition.
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.
