The module uses a single power supply mode, the module provides 5-way power supply pin,
14-way ground pin to ensure the module’s normal operation, all power and ground pins should
be connected and get in use. The module power supply range is 3.3 - 4.2V, and it is
recommended to use 3.7V/2A power supply. Module in the transmission of data or instant call
will produce more than 2A peak current and it’s resulting in a larger power supply ripple, so the
customer’s circuit design of power line should be as short as possible and wide enough. It is
recommended to reserve a 220uF capacitors near the power input. It is recommended that
customers can use DCDC or LDO
to provide enough current. Then the VBAT is controlled by the MOS tube so that the module
can be completely switched off.
LDO Reference power circuit
DCDC Reference power circuit
MOS tube control power switch reference circuit
NOTE:
In order to prevent the damage of the module caused by surge and overvoltage, it is
suggested that a 5.1V/500mW zener diode to be connected on the module VBAT pin.
It is suggested that 3 ceramic capacitors (33pF, 10pF, 100nF) to be added to the VBAT pin
and to be placed close to the VBAT pin.
The minimum operating voltage of the module is 3.3V, because the transmission data or
GSM call will produce more than 2A current, resulting in the power supply voltage ripple
voltage drop, so the power supply voltage shall not be less than 3.3V.

3.4 USB port
The module USB port supports USB2.0 high-speed protocol, supports slave device mode, and
does not support USB charging mode. The USB input / output routing needs to follow the
USB2.0 characteristic, and the USB interface is defined as follows:

NOTE:
USB routing design needs to strictly comply with the requirements of the USB2.0 protocol,
note the protection of the data line, differential line, controlling impedance for the line is 90
ohm. The ESD protection device should be added on the data line, and the equivalent
capacitance value of the ESD protection device is less than 1pF.
The power supply voltage of the USB bus is provided inside the module without external
supply. At the same time, the USB bus is not provided power. Because of the power of
module can only be used as slave device of USB bus.
USB port supports following functions:
Software download and update
Data communication
AT command
3.5 UART port
The module provides a UART port, the serial port level is 1.8V. The AT command can be sent
through the serial port, print program log information, etc. The module serial port supports
9600/19200/38400/57600/115200/230400bps baud rate and defaults is 115200bps.

Module serial port level is 1.8V, if the serial port needs to be connected with the MCU of 3.3V
level, it is necessary to add a level conversion chip to realize the matching, chip connection can
refer to the following design:

3.6.1 USIM slot design
The module does not has USIM slot, users need to design USIM slot on their own interface
board.
USIM interface reference design diagram is as follow:
NOTE:
USIM interface line is recommended to choose ON SEMI SMF15C device to do ESD
protection, USIM card peripheral circuit devices should be close to USIM slot.
The SIM card circuit is susceptible and caused no card. The slot should be placed as far
away from the antenna's RF as possible and keep away from the RF line, VBAT and high
speed signal line.
The internal UIM_DATA has been pulled to the USIM_VCC through the 47K resistor, the
outside does not need to pull-up.
USIM_DET is the detection pins of USIM card to detect whether the USIM inserts or does
not insert, the default is high level. When hot plug, it needs this pin to detect the USIM status.
The USIM card and the module’s GND needs to maintain good connectivity, UIM_CLK
GND should be protected independently.
3.6.2 USIM_DET Hot plug reference design
NO.

NOTE:
It is recommended to add a diode protection beside the UIM _DET pin.
When a normally closed SIM or a normally open SIM card is used, the detection function
can be set by the AT command. AT+HOSCFG=1,1 (High level when SIM card is insert)/
AT+HOSCFG=1,0(Low level when SIM card is insert)/ AT+HOSCFG=0.0(Hot plug is
disabled)

10K to VCC_EXT. in module use of an unusual condition or emergency. RESET pin is sensitive
to interference and should be paid attention to it when design.

electret microphone.
SPK+/SPK- channels are usually used for handles, headphones, or external power
amplifiers. If customers need external audio power amplifiers, they are passed
AT+CSDVC=4 switch to the headphone channel output signal, and then external audio
amplifier amplification signal.
Audio signal is a sensitive signal, it should be far away from the radiation source and
power interface, line as short as possible, and protect sensitive signals.
In order to prevent the TDD noise, the filter capacitor 10pF and 33pF are reserved to
design the audio circuit to remove the RFI signal.
