Hardware Unconditional restart  To unconditionally reboot the UL865-N3G V2, the pad RESET* must be tied low for at least 200 milliseconds and then released. The maximum current that can be drained from the ON* pad is 0,15 mA.  WARNING: The hardware unconditional Restart 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 be done in the rare case that the device gets stuck waiting for some network or SIM responses.     NOTE:  Do not use any pull up resistor on the RESET* line nor any totem pole digital output. Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the UL865-N3G V2 power regulator and improper functioning of the module.  The line RESET* must be connected only in open collector configuration; the transistor must be connected as close as possible to the RESET* pin. TIP: The unconditional hardware restart must always be implemented on the boards and the software must use it as an emergency exit procedure.

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  performance,  hence  read  the requirements carefully and the guidelines that will follow for a proper design. 6.1. Power Supply Requirements The  external  power  supply  must  be  connected  to  VBATT  &  VBATT_PA  signals  and must fulfill 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 3.1 V÷ 4.50 V  NOTE: The Operating Voltage Range MUST never be exceeded; care must be taken in order to fulfil min/max voltage requirement.  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 complete assumption and application of the HW User guide suggestions.  If the voltage drop is exceeding the limits it could cause a Power Off of the module. The Power supply must be higher than 3.22 V to power on the module.

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.  6.3.1. 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

Page 27 of 70 Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2 6.3.1.1.  + 5V input 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 UL865-N3G V2, 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 UL865-N3G V2 from power polarity inversion.   An example of linear regulator with 5V input is:

Page 28 of 70 Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2 6.3.1.1.  + 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 especially with the 2A peak  current load represented by the  UL865-N3G V2.  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 UL865-N3G  V2  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:

Page 29 of 70 Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2  6.3.1.1.  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 UL865-N3G V2 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 UL865-N3G V2 and damage it.   NOTE: DON'T USE any Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Pb battery types directly connected with UL865-N3G V2. Their use can lead to overvoltage on the UL865-N3G V2 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 UL865-N3G 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 capacity must be at least 500mAh in order to withstand the current peaks of 2A; the suggested capacity is from 500mAh to 1000mAh.

Page 30 of 70 Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2 6.3.2. Thermal Design Guidelines The  thermal  design  for  the  power  supply  heat  sink  should  be  done  with  the  following specifications:  Average current consumption during HSDPA transmission @PWR level max :   600 mA  Average current during idle: 1.5 mA  NOTE: The average consumption during transmissions depends on the power level at which the device is requested to transmit by the network. The average current consumption hence varies significantly.   Considering the very low current during idle, especially if Power Saving function is enabled, it  is  possible  to  consider  from  the  thermal  point  of  view  that  the  device  absorbs  current significantly only during calls.  If we assume that the device stays into transmission for short periods of time (let's say few minutes) and then remains for a  quite long time in idle  (let's say one  hour), then the power supply has always the time to cool down between the calls and the heat sink could be smaller than the calculated one for 600mA maximum RMS current, or even could be the simple chip package (no heat sink). Moreover  in  the  average  network  conditions  the  device  is  requested  to  transmit  at  a  lower power  level  than  the  maximum  and  hence  the  current  consumption  will  be  less  than  the 600mA, being usually around 150mA. For these reasons the thermal design is rarely a concern and the simple ground plane where the power supply chip is placed can be enough to ensure a good thermal condition and avoid overheating.  For the heat generated by the UL865-N3G V2, you can consider it to be during transmission 1W max during CSD/VOICE calls. This generated heat will be mostly conducted to the ground plane under the UL865-N3G V2; you must ensure that your application can dissipate it.

Page 31 of 70 Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2 6.3.3. 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 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 UL865-N3G 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 UL865-N3G V2 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 UL865-N3G V2, then this noise is not so disturbing and power supply layout design can be more forgiving.   The PCB traces to the UL865-N3G V2 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.

Page 32 of 70 Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2  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.  The below figure shows the recommended circuit:

The antenna and antenna transmission line on PCB for a Telit UL865-N3G V2 device shall fulfill the following requirements:   UL865-N3G V2 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) Bandwidth  (WCDMA) 70 MHz in WCDMA Band V 140 MHz in WCDMA Band II Impedance  50 ohm Input power  > 24dBm Average power in WCDMA VSWR absolute max  ≤  10:1 (limit to avoid permanent damage) VSWR recommended  ≤   2:1 (limit to fulfill all regulatory requirements)     Band  Power Class WCDMA  FDD B2, B5  Class 3 (0.25W) Band  Typical   Note WCDMA FDD B2 -110 dBm BER <0.1% WCDMA FDD B5 -111 dBm BER <0.1%

Page 34 of 70 Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2 7.7.1. UL865-N3G V2 Antenna – PCB line Guidelines When using the Telit UL865-N3G V2 module, since there's no antenna connector on the module, the antenna must be connected to the UL865-N3G V2 through the PCB with the antenna pad (pin 34).  In the case that the antenna is not directly developed on the same PCB, hence directly connected at the antenna pad of the UL865-N3G V2, then a PCB line is needed in order to connect with it or with its connector.  This transmission line shall fulfill the following requirements:  ANTENNA LINE ON PCB REQUIREMENTS Impedance  50 ohm Max Attenuation  0,3 dB No coupling with other signals allowed Cold End (Ground Plane) of antenna shall be equipotential to the UL865-N3G V2 ground pins   This transmission line should be designed according to the following guidelines: Ensure that the antenna line impedance is 50 ohm; Keep the antenna line on the PCB as short as possible, since the antenna line loss shall be less than 0,3 dB; Antenna line must have uniform characteristics, constant cross section; avoid meanders and abrupt curves; Keep, if possible, one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane; Surround (on the sides, over and under) the antenna line on PCB with Ground, avoid having other signal tracks facing directly the antenna line track; The ground around the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the Ground Plane by placing vias every 2mm at least; Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from UL865-N3G V2 antenna line; Keep the antenna line far away from the UL865-N3G V2 power supply lines; If you have EM noisy devices around the PCB hosting the UL865-N3G V2, such as fast switching ICs, take care of the shielding of the antenna line by burying it inside the layers of PCB and surround it with Ground planes, or shield it with a metal frame cover. If you don't have EM noisy devices around the PCB of UL865-N3G V2, by using a micro strip on the superficial copper layer for the antenna line, the line attenuation will be lower than a buried one;

Page 35 of 70 Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2 7.8. PCB Guidelines in case of FCC certification In the case FCC certification is required for an application using UL865-N3G V2, according to FCC KDB 996369 for modular approval requirements, the transmission line has to be similar to that implemented on UL865-N3G V2 interface board and described in the following chapter. 7.8.1. Transmission line design During the design of the UL865-N3G 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:

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:

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). Antenna shall not be installed inside metal cases. Antenna shall be installed also according to antenna manufacturer instructions.

Page 40 of 70 Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2 8.5. Reset signal  Signal  Function  I/O  pin RESET*  Phone reset  I  47   RESET* is used to reset the UL865-N3G V2. Whenever this signal is pulled low, the UL865-N3G V2 is reset. When the device is reset it stops any operation. After the release of the reset UL865-N3G V2 is unconditionally shut down, without doing any detach operation from the network  where  it  is  registered.  This  behavior  is  not  a  proper  shut  down  because  any  GSM device is requested to issue a detach request on turn off. For this reason the Reset 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 RESET* is internally controlled on start-up to achieve 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 UL865-N3G V2. Use the ON/OFF procedure to perform this function.  Reset Signal Operating levels: Signal  Min  Max RESET* Input high  1.5V(NOTE1)  1.9V RESET* Input low  0V  0.35V  (NOTE1) this signal is internally pulled up so the pin can be left floating if not used.   If unused, this signal may be left unconnected. 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.

Page 43 of 70 Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2 11. Serial Ports The serial port  on the  UL865-N3G V2  is  the core  of the  interface between the module and OEM hardware.  2 serial ports are available on the module:  MODEM SERIAL PORT 1 (Main, ASC0)  MODEM SERIAL PORT 2 (Auxiliary, ASC1)  11.1. MODEM SERIAL PORT 1  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 @ 3V or other voltages different from 1.8V   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. The only configuration that doesn't need a level translation is the 1.8V UART. The  serial  port  on the  UL865-N3G  V2  is  a  +1.8V  UART  with  all  the  8  RS232  signals.  It differs from the PC-RS232 in the signal polarity (RS232 is reversed) and levels. The levels for the UL865-N3G V2 UART are the CMOS levels:   Absolute Maximum Ratings -Not Functional Parameter  Min  Max Input level on any digital pad when on -0.3V  +2.1V  Operating Range - Interface levels (1.8V CMOS) Level  Min  Max Input high level    VIH  1.5V  1.9V Input low level     VIL  0V  0.35V Output high level VOH  1.6V  1.9V Output low level  VOL  0V  0.2V

Page 45 of 70 Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2   NOTE: According to V.24, RX/TX signal names are referred to the application side, therefore on the UL865-N3G V2 side these signal are on the opposite direction: TXD on the application side will be connected to the receive line (here named TXD/ rx_uart ) of the  UL865-N3G V2 serial port and vice versa for RX.  NOTE: For a minimum implementation, only the TXD and RXD lines can be connected, the other lines can be left open provided a software flow control is implemented.  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 UL865-N3G V2 when the module is powered off or during an ON/OFF transition. 11.2. MODEM SERIAL PORT 2 The secondary serial port on the UL865-N3G V2 is a CMOS1.8V with only the RX and TX signals. The signals of the UL865-N3G V2 serial port are:  PAD  Signal  I/O  Function  Type  Comment 44  RXD_AUX   I  Auxiliary UART (RX Data from DTE)  CMOS 1.8V  Shared with SPI_MISO 45  TXD_AUX   O  Auxiliary UART (TX Data to DTE)  CMOS 1.8V  Shared with SPI_MOSI   NOTE: Due to the shared functions, when the SPI port is used, it is not possible to use the SPI port.

Page 46 of 70 Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.2  11.3. RS232 level translation In  order  to  interface  the  UL865-N3G  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   NOTE: The digital input lines working at 1.8V CMOS have an absolute maximum input voltage of 2.1V; therefore the level translator IC shall not be powered by the +3.8V supply of the module. Instead, it must be powered from a +1.8V (dedicated) power supply.

In  this  case  the  chipset  is  capable  to  translate  directly  from  0/1.8V  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:

Please  refer  to  the  UL865-N3G  V2  DVI  Application  Note  for  additional  details  on  this function.  13. General Purpose I/O The general purpose I/O pads can be configured to act in three different ways:  input  output  alternate function (internally controlled)  Input pads can 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 UL865-N3G V2 firmware and acts depending on the function implemented.

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  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 UL865-N3G V2 when the module is powered OFF or during an ON/OFF transition.  TIP: The V_AUX / PWRMON pin can be used for input pull up reference or/and for ON monitoring.  13.3. Using a GPIO Pad 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.

The AT Command used to enable the function is:   AT#SIMINCFG  Use the AT command AT#SIMDET=2 to enable the SIMIN detection  Use the AT command AT&W0  and  AT&P0 to store the SIMIN detection  in  the  common profile.  For full details see AT Commands Reference Guide, 80000ST10025a.  NOTE: Don’t use the SIM IN function on the same pin where the GPIO function is enabled and vice versa! 13.6. 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 30 on module’s Pinout).  For additional details on the Backup solutions please refer to the related application note (RTC Backup Application Note) 13.7.

Recommendations for PCB pad surfaces: Finish  Layer thickness [µm]  Properties Electro-less Ni / Immersion Au  3 –7 / 0.03 – 0.15  good solder ability protection, high shear force values 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.
