This is the positive signal of 3.3V power supply.   GND signal (PIN No: 4, 9, 15, 18, 21, 26, 27, 29, 34, 35, 37, 40, 43, 50). This is the power ground and signal ground  of  the module,  which  needs  to  be  connected to  the ground  on  the system board.  If  the GND signal is not connected completely, the performance of the module will be affected.   4.3.2 Requirement of Power Supply The power supply is recommended to be within the range of 3.1~3.6V. If the network is in poor situation, the antenna will transmit at the maximum power, and the transient maximum peak current less than 2G mode can reach as high as 1.8A. So the power supply capacity for peak current needs to be above 2.5A, and the average peak current needs to be above 0.9A.    4.4 (U)SIM Card Interface 4.4.1 Description of PINs ZM8620_V2 module baseband processor integrates the (U)SIM card interface.

As the USIM card console is placed on the system board side, be sure to add the ESD protection during the design.   To comply with the requirements of 3GPP TS 51.010-1 and EMC authentication, it is recommended to place (U)SIM card console close to the (U)SIM card interface, to prevent the wiring from being too long, which might seriously distort  the  waveform  and  thus  affect  the  signal  integrity.  It  is  recommended  to make the grounding protection for UIM_CLK and UIM_DATA signal wiring.   Cascade  one  0.1uF  and  33pF  capacitor  between  VREG_UIM  and  GND,  and  cascade  a  33pF  bypass capacitor  between  UIM_CLK,  UIM_RST  and  GND,  to  filter  out  the  interference  by  RF  signals.  It  is recommended to cascade a 20ohm resistance on UIM_DATA signal. And UIM_DATA must be pulled up via a 20K ohm resistance to VREG_UIM.  4.5 USB2.0 Interface 4.5.1 Description of PINs ZM8620_V2 has the high-speed USB2.0 interface,. USB is connected to the system board side via the PCI-E  interface,  to  communicate  with  the  processor  on  the  system  board  side.  Its  PINs  are  PIN36 (USB_DM),  PIN38  (USB_DP).  The  USB  interface  can  be  mapped  to  difference  ports,  such  as Diagnostics port to capture the log, AT port is used to complete AT command interaction with the AP side.

During the PCB wiring, the wires must be parallel, the distance should be as short as possible and as far away as possible from the antenna, and it‘s enveloped by the ground wires to avoid strong interference sources.  USB_DP  and  USB_DM  should  be  wired  strictly  in  the  differential  mode,  and  the  length difference of the two signals is within 1mm.    NOTE: The differential resistance needs to be controlled within 90Ω, and the difference cannot exceed 5%. It  is  recommended  to  cascade  the  high-speed  common-mode  rejection  filter  on  the  USB  differential traces. If  some of  the trace  is exposed,  it  is  recommended  to add  the ESD  protection  device,  and  the junction  capacitor  of  the  ESD  protection  device  should  better  be  kept  within  1.5pF.  Large  junction capacitor will distort the waveform, and affect the bus communication.    4.6 UART Interface The UART interface is used as MODEM port by default which is occupied by data service.   4.6.1 Description of PINs The wireless module ZM8620_V2 supports the full UART interface with flow control function, which complies  with  the  RS-232  interface  protocol,  and  supports  the  8-wires  serial  bus  interface  or  2-wires serial interface. The module can perform the serial communication and AT instruction interaction with external.   This UART port supports the programmable data width, programmable data stop bit and programmable parity check,  and has an  independent TX and RX FIFOs (512 bytes for each).  For  the normal UART application  (non-Bluetooth),  the  maximum  baud  rate  is  230400bps,  and  the  default  baud  rate  is 115200bps. The PINs are defined as shown in Table 4-5.

If  the  module  is  used together with the application processor, and the PWL of it matches with the power level of the module, the  connection  mode  is  as  shown  in  Figure  4-4.  The  4-wires  or  2-wires  mode  can  also  be  used  for connection. If it does not match the PWL of AP interface, it is recommended to add the PWL conversion circuit. Otherwise, it might cause unstable com ports because the level is not matched or cause damage to the module because it is at high level for long time. The connection of ZM8620_V2 UART port and standard RS-232-C interface can be through the chip like class 232. The design involves the transformation of TTL level and EIA level. We recommend to use the chip of NLSX5014MUTAG. If using the 2-byte serial bus interface, MAX3232 is recommended, and if using the 8-byte serial bus interface, SP3238 or MAX3238 is recommended.

As  the  types  of  terminal  products  vary  and  their  circuit  layouts  are  different,  when considering the module layout, we should reduce the electric magnetic interference from other devices upon the module. Taking 3G Internet-access laptop as an example, during the layout of laptops, make sure that the module is not adjacent to the switch power or the high-speed signal cable, and well protect the cabling of these interference sources. At the same time, keep the antenna and the coaxial cables of network  cables  and  antenna  far  away  from  the  interference  sources. Keep  the  module  away  from  the devices that have a large heat-radiating capacity such as CPU, hard disk and south bridge, to guarantee that heat can be radiated effectively.

The  dimensions  and  location  of  antennas  are  also  different.  Taking  3G Internet-access laptop as an example, it is recommended that the antenna be placed on the top of LCD. 8.4 Diversity Antenna Design ZM8620_V2  supports  diversity  receiving  function,  and  if  it  is  necessary  to  support  diversity,  the notebook needs to add diversity antenna. The design method of the diversity antenna is consistent with the main antenna, and its efficiency index is allowed to reduce by 3dB. The isolation of the main antenna and the diversity antenna is required to be bigger than 12dB.

It is also necessary to connect external power supply adaptor to provide the module with sufficient current, and the diagram for the switching board is as follows: Module boardComputer hostSwitching boardPower supply adapterPCI Express Mini Card Interface USB PortAC Figure 9–1  The diagram for the switching board  9.1 Debugging Board Figure 9-2 shows the module debugging & installation method. The debugging board is mainly used to debug the basic functions of ZM8620_V2 module, such as downloading the JTAG program, resetting the module,  powering  off  and  shutting  down  RF,  LED  indicator  display,  making  a  call  or  browsing  web pages via computer UI by inserting the USIM card into the switching board. The USB interface supplies power to the debugging board, provides it to the module after LDO conversion, and directly supplies the power to the module by the power socket on the board.
