TOBY-R2 series modules support up to five LTE bands, up to four 3G UMTS/HSPA bands and up to four 2G GSM/(E)GPRS bands for voice and/or data transmission. TOBY-R2 series modules are form-factor compatible with u-blox SARA, LISA and LARA cellular module families and are pin-to-pin compatible with u-blox TOBY-L cellular module families: this facilitates easy migration from the u-blox GSM/GPRS, CDMA, UMTS/HSPA, and LTE high data rate modules, maximizes the investments of customers, simplifies logistics, and enables very short time-to-market. The modules are ideal for applications that are transitioning to LTE from 2G and 3G, due to the long term availability and scalability of LTE networks. With a range of interface options and an integrated IP stack, the modules are designed to support a wide range of data-centric applications. The unique combination of performance and flexibility make these modules ideally suited for medium speed M2M applications, such as smart energy gateways, remote access video cameras, digital signage, telehealth and telematics. TOBY-R2 series modules support Voice over LTE (VoLTE) and voice service over 3G (CSFB) for applications that require voice, such as security and surveillance systems. 1.2 Product features Model Region Radio Access Technology Positioning Interfaces Audio Features Grade LTE Bands1 UMTS Bands GSM Bands GNSS via modem AssistNow Software CellLocate® UART USB 2.0 SDIO * DDC (I2C) GPIOs Analog audio Digital audio Network indication VoLTE Antenna supervisor Rx Diversity Jamming detection Embedded TCP/UDP stack Embedded HTTP,FTP,SSL FOTA Dual stack IPv4/IPv6 Standard Professional Automotive TOBY-R200 North America 2,4, 5,12 850,900, 1900,2100 Quad □ □ □ 1 1 1 1 9 ● ● ● ● ● □ ● ● ● ● TOBY-R202 North America 2,4, 5,12 850,1900 □ □ □ 1 1 1 1 9 ● ● ● ● ● □ ● ● ● ● □ = Available in future firmware * = HW ready Table 1: TOBY-R2 series main features summary 1 LTE band 12 is a superset that includes band 17

TOBY-R2 series - Data Sheet UBX-16005785 - R06 Functional description Page 9 of 41 Feature Description LTE Rx Diversity Improved cellular link quality and reliability on all operating bands, by means of 2 receiving antenna inputs. GNSS via modem7 Full access to u-blox positioning chips and modules is available through a dedicated DDC (I2C) interface. This means that from any host processor a single serial port can control the cellular module and the positioning chip or module. For more details see the GNSS Implementation Application Note [5]. Embedded AssistNow Software7 Embedded AssistNow Online and AssistNow Offline clients are available to provide better GNSS performance and faster Time-to-First-Fix. An AT command can enable / disable the clients. CellLocate®7 Enables the estimation of device position based on the parameters of the mobile network cells visible to the specific device based on the CellLocate® database:  Normal scan: only the parameters of the visible home network cells are sent  Deep scan: the parameters of all surrounding cells of all mobile operators are sent CellLocate® is available via a set of AT commands for CellLocate® service configuration and position request. Hybrid Positioning7 The current module position is provided by a u-blox positioning chip or module or the estimated position from CellLocate® depending on which method provides the best and fastest solution according to the user configuration. Hybrid positioning is available via a set of AT commands that allow the configuration and the position request. Wi-Fi via modem7 Full access to Wi-Fi modules is available through a dedicated SDIO interface. This means that from any host processor a single serial port can control the cellular module and the short range communication module. Smart Temperature Supervisor Constant monitoring of the module board temperature:  Warning notification when the temperature approaches an upper or lower predefined threshold  Shutdown notified and forced when the temperature value is outside the specified range (shutdown suspended in case of an emergency call in progress) The Smart Temperature Supervisor feature can be enabled and configured through the +USTS AT command. The sensor measures board temperature, which can differ from ambient temperature. Power saving The power saving configuration is by default disabled, but it can be enabled and configured using the +UPSV AT command. When the power saving is enabled, the module automatically enters the low power idle-mode whenever possible, reducing current consumption. During idle-mode, the module processor core runs with the RTC 32 kHz reference clock, which is generated by the internal 32 kHz oscillator. Fast Dormancy The Fast Dormancy feature, defined in 3GPP Rel.8, allows reduction of current consumption and network utilization during periods of data inactivity. It can be activated and configured by +UFDAC and +UDCONF=61 AT commands. LTE cDRX Both the Long DRX Cycle and the Short DRX cycle are supported for LTE Connected Discontinuous Reception, allowing reduction of current consumption and LTE network utilization during periods of data inactivity Power Saving Mode (PSM) as specified in 3GPP Release 127 The Power Saving Mode (PSM) feature, defined in 3GPP Rel.12, allows further reduction of the module current consumption by decreasing the signaling load between the module and the network on non-access stratum level during periods of data inactivity. It can be activated and configured by dedicated AT commands. Table 3: Some of the main features supported by TOBY-R2 series modules u-blox is extremely mindful of user privacy. When a position is sent to the CellLocate® server u-blox is unable to track the SIM used or the specific device. 7 Not supported by “02” product versions.
TOBY-R2 series - Data Sheet UBX-16005785 - R06 Interfaces Page 10 of 41 2 Interfaces 2.1 Power management 2.1.1 Module supply input (VCC) TOBY-R2 series modules must be supplied through the three VCC pins by a DC power supply. Voltage must be stable, because during operation the current drawn from VCC can vary by some order of magnitude, especially due to the surging consumption profile of the GSM system (described in the TOBY-R2 series System Integration Manual [2]). It is important that the system power supply circuit is able to support peak power. TOBY-R200 modules provide separate supply inputs over the three VCC pins:  VCC pins #71 and #72 represent the supply input for the internal RF power amplifier, demanding most of the total current drawn by the module when RF transmission is enabled during a voice/data call  VCC pin #70 represents the supply input for the internal baseband Power Management Unit and the internal transceiver, demanding minor part of the total current drawn by the module when RF transmission is enabled during a voice/data call 2.1.2 RTC supply input / output (V_BCKP) When VCC voltage is within the valid operating range, the internal Power Management Unit (PMU) supplies the Real Time Clock (RTC) and the same supply voltage is available on the V_BCKP pin. If the VCC voltage is under the minimum operating limit (e.g. during not powered mode), the V_BCKP pin can externally supply the RTC. 2.1.3 Generic digital interfaces supply output (V_INT) TOBY-R2 series modules provide a 1.8 V supply rail output on the V_INT pin, which is internally generated when the module is switched on. The same voltage domain is used internally to supply the generic digital interfaces of the modules. The V_INT supply output can be used in place of an external discrete regulator. 2.2 Antenna interfaces 2.2.1 Antenna RF interfaces The modules have two RF pins with a characteristic impedance of 50 . The primary antenna pin (ANT1) supports both Tx and Rx, providing the main antenna interface, while the secondary antenna pin (ANT2) supports Rx only for the LTE Rx diversity configuration. 2.2.2 Antenna detection The ANT_DET pin is an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) input with a current source provided by TOBY-R2 modules to sense the antenna presence (as an optional feature). It evaluates the resistance from ANT1 and ANT2 pins to GND by means of an external antenna detection circuit implemented on the application board. (For more details, see TOBY-R2 series System Integration Manual [2] and u-blox AT Commands Manual [1].)
TOBY-R2 series - Data Sheet UBX-16005785 - R06 Interfaces Page 11 of 41 2.3 System functions 2.3.1 Module power-on TOBY-R2 series can be switched on in one of the following ways:  Rising edge on the VCC pins to a valid voltage for module supply, i.e. applying module supply: the modules switch on if the VCC supply is applied, starting from a voltage value of less than 2.1 V, with a rise time from 2.3 V to 2.8 V of less than 4 ms, reaching a proper nominal voltage value within VCC operating range. Alternately, in case for example the fast rise time on VCC rising edge cannot be guaranteed by the application, TOBY-R2 series modules can be switched on from not-powered mode as following:  RESET_N input pin is held low by the external application during the VCC rising edge, so that the modules will switch on when the external application releases the RESET_N input pin from the low logic level after the VCC supply voltage stabilizes at its proper nominal value within the operating range  PWR_ON input pin is held low by the external application during the VCC rising edge, so that the modules will switch on when the external application releases the PWR_ON input pin from the low logic level after the VCC supply voltage stabilizes at its proper nominal value within the operating range When the TOBY-R2 series modules are in the power-off mode (i.e. properly switched off as described in section 2.3.2, with valid VCC module supply applied), they can be switched on as follows:  Low pulse on the PWR_ON pin, which is normally set high by an internal pull-up, for a valid time period (see section 4.2.8). The PWR_ON line should be driven by open drain, open collector or contact switch.  Rising edge on the RESET_N pin, i.e. releasing the pin from the low level, normally set high by an internal pull-up. The RESET_N line should be driven by open drain, open collector or contact switch.  RTC alarm, i.e. pre-programmed scheduled time by AT+CALA command. 2.3.2 Module power-off TOBY-R2 series can be properly switched off, saving current parameter settings in the module’s non-volatile memory and performing a proper network detach, by:  AT+CPWROFF command (see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1]).  Low pulse on the PWR_ON pin, which is normally set high by an internal pull-up, for a valid time period (see section 4.2.8). The PWR_ON line should be driven by open drain, open collector or contact switch. An abrupt under-voltage shutdown occurs on TOBY-R2 series modules when the VCC supply is removed. If this occurs, it is not possible to store the current parameter settings in the module’s non-volatile memory and to perform the proper network detach. An abrupt shutdown occurs on TOBY-R2 series modules when a low level is applied on the RESET_N pin, which is normally set high by an internal pull-up. If this occurs, it is not possible to store the current parameter settings in the module’s non-volatile memory and to perform the proper network detach. An over-temperature or an under-temperature shutdown occurs on TOBY-R2 modules when the temperature measured within the cellular module reaches the dangerous area, if the optional Smart Temperature Supervisor feature is enabled and configured by the dedicated AT command. For more details see the TOBY-R2 series System Integration Manual [2] and the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1], +USTS AT command.
TOBY-R2 series - Data Sheet UBX-16005785 - R06 Interfaces Page 12 of 41 2.3.3 Module reset TOBY-R2 series modules can be reset (rebooted) by:  AT+CFUN command (see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1]). This causes an “internal” or “software” reset of the module. The current parameter settings are saved in the module’s non-volatile memory and a proper network detach is performed. An abrupt “external” or “hardware” reset occurs when a low level is applied to the RESET_N pin, which is normally set high by an internal pull-up, for a valid time period (see the section 4.2.9). This causes an “external” or “hardware” reset of the entire module, including the integrated power management unit, except for the RTC internal block: the V_INT generic digital interfaces supply is switched off and all the digital pins are tri-stated, but the V_BCKP supply and the RTC block are enabled. The current parameter settings are not saved in the module’s non-volatile memory and a proper network detach is not performed. The RESET_N line should be driven by open drain, open collector or contact switch. 2.3.4 Module / host configuration selection Selection of module / host configuration over HOST_SELECT0 and HOST_SELECT1 pins is not supported. TOBY-R2 series modules include two pins (HOST_SELECT0, HOST_SELECT1) for the selection of the module / host application processor configuration. 2.4 SIM 2.4.1 SIM interface A SIM card interface is provided on the VSIM, SIM_IO, SIM_CLK, SIM_RST pins: the high-speed SIM/ME interface is implemented as well as the automatic detection of the required SIM supporting voltage. Both 1.8 V and 3 V SIM types are supported (1.8 V and 3 V ME). Activation and deactivation with automatic voltage switch from 1.8 V to 3 V is implemented, according to ISO-IEC 7816-3 specifications. The SIM driver supports the PPS procedure for baud-rate selection, according to the values proposed by the SIM card/chip. 2.4.2 SIM detection TOBY-R2 series modules provide the SIM detection function over the GPIO5 pin to sense the SIM card physical presence (as an optional feature) when the pin of the module is properly connected to the mechanical switch of the SIM car holder (for more details see the TOBY-R2 series System Integration Manual [2]).

UART features are:  Complete serial port with RS-232 functionality conforming to the ITU-T V.24 Recommendation [14], with CMOS compatible signal levels (0 V for low data bit or ON state and 1.8 V for high data bit or OFF state)  Data lines (RXD as output, TXD as input), hardware flow control lines (CTS as output, RTS as input), modem status and control lines (DTR as input, DSR as output, DCD as output, RI as output) are provided  Hardware flow control (default value), software flow control, or none flow control are supported  Power saving indication available on the hardware flow control output (CTS line): the line is driven to the OFF state when the module is not prepared to accept data by the UART interface  Power saving control over the RTS input or the DTR input can be enabled via AT+UPSV command (for more details see u-blox AT Commands Manual [1] and TOBY-R2 series System Integration Manual [2])  The following baud rates are supported: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 (default baud rate when autobauding is disabled), 230400, 460800, 921600, 3000000, 3250000, 6000000 and 6500000 b/s  One-shot autobauding is supported and it is by default enabled: automatic baud rate detection is performed only once, at module start up. After the detection, the module works at the fixed baud rate (the detected one) and the baud rate can only be changed via AT command (see u-blox AT Commands Manual [1], +IPR).  The following frame format are supported: 8N2, 8N1 (default format when automatic frame recognition is disabled), 8E1, 8O1, 7E1 and 7O1  One-shot automatic frame recognition is supported and it is by default enabled in conjunction with automatic baud rate detection (autobauding): the detection is performed only once, at module start up. After the detection, the module works at the detected frame format and it can only be changed via AT command (see u-blox AT Commands Manual [1], +ICF). UART serial interface can be conveniently configured through AT commands: see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1] (+IPR, +ICF, +IFC, &K, \Q, +UPSV AT commands) and TOBY-R2 series System Integration Manual [2].
TOBY-R2 series - Data Sheet UBX-16005785 - R06 Interfaces Page 14 of 41 2.5.1.1 Multiplexer protocol TOBY-R2 series modules include multiplexer functionality as per 3GPP TS 27.010 [10] on the UART physical link. This is a data link protocol which uses HDLC-like framing and operates between the module (DCE) and the application processor (DTE), allowing a number of simultaneous sessions over the physical link (UART): the user can concurrently use AT interface on one MUX channel and data communication on another MUX channel. The following virtual channels are available (for more details, see the Mux Implementation Application Note [6]):  Channel 0: Multiplexer control  Channel 1 – 5: AT commands / data connection  Channel 6: GNSS data tunneling The GNSS data tunnelling channel is not supported by “02” product versions. 2.5.2 USB interface TOBY-R2 series modules include a USB High-Speed 2.0 compliant interface with maximum 480 Mb/s data rate according to the Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0 [15]. The module itself acts as a USB device and can be connected to any compatible USB host. The USB interface is available for the communication with a host application processor (AT commands, data communication, FW update by means of the FOAT feature), for FW update by means of the u-blox EasyFlash tool and for diagnostics. The USB_D+ / USB_D- lines carry the USB data and signaling. The USB interface is automatically enabled by an external valid USB VBUS supply voltage (5.0 V typical) applied on the VUSB_DET pin. The USB interface of TOBY-R2 series modules makes available different USB functions with various capabilities and purposes, such as:  CDC-ACM for AT commands and data communication  CDC-ACM for GNSS tunneling  CDC-ACM for SAP (SIM Access Profile)  CDC-ACM for Diagnostic log  CDC-NCM for Ethernet-over-USB CDC-ACM for GNSS tunneling, CDC-ACM for SAP, and CDC-NCM for Ethernet-over-USB are not supported by “02” product versions. The USB interface provides the following set of USB functions:  6 CDC-ACM modem COM ports enumerated as follows: o USB1: AT and data o USB2: AT and data o USB3: AT and data o USB4: GNSS tunneling o USB5: SAP (SIM Access Profile) o USB6: Primary Log (diagnostic purpose) The user can concurrently use the AT command interface on one CDC, and Packet-Switched / Circuit-Switched Data communication on another CDC. For more details regarding USB capabilities, see the TOBY-R2 series System Integration Manual [2].
TOBY-R2 series - Data Sheet UBX-16005785 - R06 Interfaces Page 15 of 41 USB drivers are available for the following Windows and Windows Embedded operating system platforms:  Windows 7  Windows 8  Windows 8.1  Windows 10  Windows Embedded CE 6.0  Windows Embedded Compact 7  Windows Embedded Compact 2013 TOBY-R2 series modules are compatible with standard Linux/Android USB kernel drivers. 2.5.3 DDC (I2C) interface Communication with u-blox GNSS receivers over DDC (I2C) is not supported by “02” product versions. TOBY-R2 series modules include an I2C-bus compatible DDC interface (SDA, SCL) available to communicate with a u-blox GNSS receiver and with external I2C devices as an audio codec: the TOBY-R2 module acts as an I2C master which can communicate with I2C slaves in accordance with the I2C bus specifications [16]. For more details regarding the DDC (I2C) interface usage and the integration with a u-blox GNSS receiver see the TOBY-R2 series System Integration Manual [2], the GNSS Implementation Application Note [5], and the I2C and GNSS AT commands description in the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1]. 2.5.4 SDIO interface The SDIO interface is not supported by “02” modules product versions. TOBY-R2 series modules include a 4-bit Secure Digital Input Output interface (SDIO_D0, SDIO_D1, SDIO_D2, SDIO_D3, SDIO_CLK, SDIO_CMD) designed to communicate with external compatible u-blox short range radio communication Wi-Fi modules. 2.6 Audio TOBY-R2 series modules support Voice over LTE (VoLTE) as well as Circuit-Switched Fall-Back (CSFB) from LTE to 3G or 2G radio bearer for providing audio services. TOBY-R2 series modules include a 4-wire I2S digital audio interface (I2S_TXD, I2S_RXD, I2S_CLK, I2S_WA) that can be configured by AT command in PCM mode (short synchronization signal) or in normal I2S mode (long synchronization signal) to transfer digital audio data to/from an external device as an audio codec. For more details regarding internal audio processing system capabilities, I2S digital audio interface possible configurations, usage and guideline for the integration with an external digital audio device as an audio codec see TOBY-R2 series System Integration Manual [2] and the audio sections in u-blox AT Commands Manual [1]. 2.7 Clock output TOBY-R2 series modules provide a master digital clock output function on the GPIO6 pin, which can be configured to provide a 13 MHz or 26 MHz square wave. This is mainly designed to feed the master clock input of an external audio codec, as the clock output can be configured in “Audio dependent” mode (generating the square wave only when the audio path is active), or in “Continuous” mode. For more details see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1], +UMCLK AT command.
