![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 8 of 160 Regarding 3G transmit and receive data rate capability, LISA-U series modules implement 3G High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) category 6, LISA-U1 series and LISA-U200 modules implement 3G High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) category 8, while LISA-U230 modules implement the 3G HSDPA category 14. HSUPA and HSDPA categories determine the maximum speed at which data can be respectively transmitted and received: higher categories allowing faster data transfer rates as indicated in Table 1. The 3G network automatically performs adaptive coding and modulation using a choice of forward error correction code rate and choice of modulation type, to achieve the highest possible data rate and data transmission robustness according to the quality of the radio channel. Regarding 2G transmit and receive data rate capability, LISA-U1 series modules implement GPRS/EGPRS class 12, while LISA-U2 series modules implement GPRS/EGPRS class 33. GPRS and EGPRS classes determine the maximum number of timeslots available for upload and download and thus the speed at which data can be transmitted and received: higher classes typically allowing faster data transfer rates as indicated in Table 1. The 2G network automatically configures the number of timeslots used for reception or transmission (voice calls take precedence over GPRS/EGPRS traffic) and channel encoding (from Coding Scheme 1 up to Modulation and Coding Scheme 9), performing link adaptation to achieve the highest possible data rate. A summary of interfaces and features provided by LISA-U series modules is described in the Table 2. Note that LISA-U130-01 and LISA-U230-01 are available in standard and automotive quality grade versions.

Table 5 summarizes the various operating modes and provides general guidelines for operation. Operating Mode Description Features / Remarks Transition condition General Status: Power-down Not-Powered Mode VCC supply not present or below operating range. Microprocessor switched off (not operating). RTC only operates if supplied through V_BCKP pin. Module is switched off. Application interfaces are not accessible. Internal RTC timer operates only if a valid voltage is applied to V_BCKP pin. Module cannot be switched on by a falling edge provided on the PWR_ON input, or by a preset RTC alarm or by a rising edge provided on the RESET_N input. Module can be switched on applying VCC supply. Power-Off Mode VCC supply within operating range. Microprocessor switched off (not operating). Only RTC runs. Module is switched off: normal shutdown by AT+CPWROFF command (refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]), or by PWR_ON held low for more than 1 s (LISA-U2 series only). Application interfaces are not accessible. Only the internal RTC timer in operation. Module can be switched on by a falling edge on the PWR_ON input, or by a preset RTC alarm, or by a rising edge on the RESET_N input. General Status: Normal Operation Idle-Mode Microprocessor runs with 32 kHz as reference oscillator. Module does not accept data signals from an external device. If power saving is enabled, the module automatically enters idle-mode whenever possible. Application interfaces are disabled. If hardware flow control is enabled, the CTS line to ON state indicates that the module is in active mode and the UART interface is enabled: the line is driven in the OFF state when the module is not prepared to accept data by the UART interface. If hardware flow control is disabled, the CTS line is fixed to ON state. Module by default is not set to automatically enter idle-mode whenever possible, unless power saving configuration is enabled by appropriate AT command (refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], AT+UPSV). Module enters automatically idle-mode when power saving is enabled and there is no activity for the defined time interval: Module registered with the network and power saving enabled. Periodically wakes up to active mode to monitor the paging channel for the paging block reception according to network indication Module not registered with the network and power saving is enabled. Periodically wakes up to monitor external activity Module wakes up from idle-mode to active-mode in the following events: Incoming voice or data call RTC alarm occurs Data received on UART interface (refer to 1.9.2) RTS input line set to the ON state by the DTE if the AT+UPSV=2 command is sent to the module (refer to 1.9.2) USB detection, applying 5 V (typ.) to the VUSB_DET pin The connected USB host forces a remote wakeup of the module as USB device (refer to 1.9.3) The connected SPI master indicates to the module that it is ready for transmission or reception, by the SPI/IPC SPI_MRDY input signal (refer to 1.9.4)](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-17.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 18 of 160 Operating Mode Description Features / Remarks Transition condition Active-Mode Microprocessor runs with 26 MHz as reference oscillator.

![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 20 of 160 The VCC pins are directly connected to the RF power amplifiers and to the integrated Power Management Unit (PMU) within the module: all supply voltages needed by the module are generated from the VCC supply by integrated voltage regulators. V_BCKP is the Real Time Clock (RTC) supply. When the VCC voltage is within the valid operating range, the internal PMU supplies the Real Time Clock and the same supply voltage will be available to the V_BCKP pin. If the VCC voltage is under the minimum operating limit (for example, during not powered mode), the Real Time Clock can be externally supplied via the V_BCKP pin (see section 1.5.4). When a 1.8 V or a 3 V SIM card type is connected, LISA-U series modules automatically supply the SIM card via the VSIM pin. Activation and deactivation of the SIM interface with automatic voltage switch from 1.8 to 3 V is implemented, in accordance to the ISO-IEC 7816-3 specifications. The same voltage domain used internally to supply the digital interfaces is also available on the V_INT pin, to allow more economical and efficient integration of the LISA-U series modules in the final application. The integrated Power Management Unit also provides the control state machine for system start up and system reset control. 1.5.2 Module supply (VCC) The LISA-U series modules must be supplied through the VCC pins by a DC power supply. Voltages must be stable: during operation, the current drawn from VCC can vary by some orders of magnitude, especially due to surging consumption profile of the GSM system (described in the section 1.5.3). It is important that the system power supply circuit is able to support peak power (refer to LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2] for the detailed specifications). Name Description Remarks VCC Module power supply input VCC pins are internally connected, but all the available pads must be connected to the external supply in order to minimize the power loss due to series resistance. Clean and stable supply is required: low ripple and low voltage drop must be guaranteed. Voltage provided must always be above the minimum limit of the operating range. Consider that during a GSM call there are large current spikes in connected mode. GND Ground GND pins are internally connected but a good (low impedance) external ground can improve RF performance: all available pads must be connected to ground. Table 6: Module supply pins VCC pins ESD sensitivity rating is 1 kV (Human Body Model according to JESD22-A114F). Higher protection level can be required if the line is externally accessible on the application board. Higher protection level can be achieved by mounting an ESD protection (e.g. EPCOS CA05P4S14THSG varistor array) on the line connected to this pin, close to accessible point. The voltage provided to the VCC pins must be within the normal operating range limits as specified in the LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]. Complete functionality of the module is only guaranteed within the specified minimum and maximum VCC voltage normal operating range. The module cannot be switched on if the VCC voltage value is below the specified normal operating range minimum limit: ensure that the input voltage at VCC pins is above the minimum limit of the normal operating range for more than 1 s after the start of the switch-on of the module.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-20.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 21 of 160 When LISA-U series modules are in operation, the voltage provided to VCC pins can go outside the normal operating range limits but must be within the extended operating range limits specified in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]. Occasional deviations from the ETSI specifications may occur when the input voltage at VCC pins is outside the normal operating range and is within the extended operating range. LISA-U series modules switch off when VCC voltage value drops below the specified extended operating range minimum limit: ensure that the input voltage at VCC pins never drops below the minimum limit of the extended operating range when the module is switched on, not even during a GSM transmit burst, where the current consumption can rise up to maximum peaks of 2.5 A in case of a mismatched antenna load. Operation above the normal operating range maximum limit is not recommended and extended exposure beyond it may affect device reliability. Stress beyond the VCC absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the module: if necessary, voltage spikes beyond VCC absolute maximum ratings must be restricted to values within the specified limits by using appropriate protection. When designing the power supply for the application, pay specific attention to power losses and transients. The DC power supply must be able to provide a voltage profile to the VCC pins with the following characteristics: o Voltage drop during transmit slots must be lower than 400 mV o No undershoot or overshoot at the start and at the end of transmit slots o Voltage ripple during transmit slots must be minimized: lower than 70 mVpp if fripple ≤ 200 kHz lower than 10 mVpp if 200 kHz < fripple ≤ 400 kHz lower than 2 mVpp if fripple > 400 kHz TimeundershootovershootripplerippledropVoltage3.8 V (typ)RX slotunused slotunused slotTX slotunused slotunused slotMON slotunused slotRX slotunused slotunused slotTX slotunused slotunused slotMON slotunused slotGSM frame 4.615 ms (1 frame = 8 slots)GSM frame 4.615 ms (1 frame = 8 slots) Figure 5: Description of the VCC voltage profile versus time during a GSM call Any degradation in power supply performance (due to losses, noise or transients) will directly affect the RF performance of the module since the single external DC power source indirectly supplies all the digital and analog interfaces, and also directly supplies the RF power amplifier (PA).](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-21.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 28 of 160 1.5.3 Current consumption profiles During operation, the current drawn by the LISA-U series modules through the VCC pins can vary by several orders of magnitude. This ranges from the high peak of current consumption during GSM transmitting bursts at maximum power level in 2G connected mode, to continuous high current drawn in UMTS connected mode, to the low current consumption during power saving in idle-mode. 1.5.3.1 2G connected mode When a GSM call is established, the VCC consumption is determined by the current consumption profile typical of the GSM transmitting and receiving bursts. The current consumption peak during a transmission slot is strictly dependent on the transmitted power, which is regulated by the network. If the module is transmitting in GSM talk mode in the GSM 850 or in the E-GSM 900 band and at the maximum RF power control level (approximately 2 W or 33 dBm in the allocated transmit slot/burst) the current consumption can reach up to 2500 mA (with a highly unmatched antenna) for 576.9 µs (width of the transmit slot/burst) with a periodicity of 4.615 ms (width of 1 frame = 8 slots/burst), so with a 1/8 duty cycle according to GSM TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access). If the module is in GSM connected mode in the DCS 1800 or in the PCS 1900 band, the current consumption figures are lower than the one in the GSM 850 or in the E-GSM 900 band, due to 3GPP transmitter output power specifications (refer to refer to LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]). During a GSM call, current consumption is in the order of 60-130 mA in receiving or in monitor bursts and is about 10-40 mA in the inactive unused bursts (low current period). The more relevant contribution to determine the average current consumption is set by the transmitted power in the transmit slot. An example of current consumption profile of the data module in GSM talk mode is shown in Figure 11.

In contrast to a GSM call, during a GPRS connection more than one slot can be used to transmit and/or more than one slot can be used to receive. The transmitted power depends on network conditions, which set the peak current consumption, but following the GPRS specifications the maximum transmitted RF power is reduced if more than one slot is used to transmit, so the maximum peak of current consumption is not as high as can be in case of a GSM call. If the module transmits in GPRS class 12 connected mode in the GSM 850 or in the E-GSM 900 band at the maximum power control level, the current consumption can reach up to 1600 mA (with unmatched antenna).](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-28.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 29 of 160 This happens for 2.307 ms (width of the 4 transmit slots/bursts) with a periodicity of 4.615 ms (width of 1 frame = 8 slots/bursts), so with a 1/2 duty cycle, according to GSM TDMA. If the module is in GPRS connected mode in the DCS 1800 or in the PCS 1900 band, the current consumption figures are lower than in the GSM 850 or in the E-GSM 900 band, due to 3GPP transmitter output power specifications (refer to LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]). Figure 12 reports the current consumption profiles in GPRS class 12 connected mode, in the GSM 850 or in the E-GSM 900 band, with 4 slots used to transmit and 1 slot used to receive.

LISA-U2 series modules support GPRS and EDGE class 33: up to 4 slots can be used to transmit, as in the class 12 mode, and up to 2 slots can be used to receive in the same frame since up to 6 slots can be used in total. So, the VCC current consumption figures in GPRS and EDGE class 33 connected modes are similar to the current profile in GPRS and EDGE class 12 connected modes, since the same number of transmit slots are used. 1.5.3.2 3G connected mode During a 3G connection, the module can transmit and receive continuously due to the Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) mode of operation with the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA). The current consumption depends again on output RF power, which is always regulated by network commands. These power control commands are logically divided into a slot of 666 µs, thus the rate of power change can reach a maximum rate of 1.5 kHz. There are no high current peaks as in the 2G connection, since transmission and reception are continuously enabled due to FDD WCDMA implemented in the 3G that differs from the TDMA implemented in the 2G case. In the worst scenario, corresponding to a continuous transmission and reception at maximum output power (approximately 250 mW or 24 dBm), the current drawn by the module at the VCC pins is in the order of continuous 600-700 mA. Even at lowest output RF power (approximately 0.01 µW or -50 dBm), the current still remains in the order of 200 mA due to module baseband processing and transceiver activity. An example of current consumption profile of the data module in UMTS continuous transmission mode is shown in Figure 13.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-29.png)

Alternatively, at higher data rates the transmitted power is likely to increase due to the higher quality signal required by the network to cope with enhanced data speed. 1.5.3.3 2G and 3G cyclic idle/active mode (power saving enabled) The power saving configuration is by default disabled, but it can be enabled using the appropriate AT command (refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], AT+UPSV command). When power saving is enabled, the module automatically enters idle-mode whenever possible. When power saving is enabled, the module is registered or attached to a network and a voice or data call is not enabled, the module automatically enters idle-mode whenever possible, but it must periodically monitor the paging channel of the current base station (paging block reception), in accordance to GSM system requirements. When the module monitors the paging channel, it wakes up to active mode, to enable the reception of paging block. In between, the module switches to idle-mode. This is known as GSM discontinuous reception (DRX). The module processor core is activated during the paging block reception, and automatically switches its reference clock frequency from 32 kHz to the 26 MHz used in active-mode. The time period between two paging block receptions is defined by the network (2G or 3G). This is the paging period parameter, fixed by the base station through broadcast channel sent to all users on the same serving cell. In case of 2G network, the time interval between two paging block receptions can be from 470.76 ms (DRX = 2, i.e. width of 2 GSM multiframes = 2 x 51 GSM frames = 2 x 51 x 4.615 ms) up to 2118.42 ms (DRX = 9, i.e. width of 9 GSM multiframes = 9 x 51 frames = 9 x 51 x 4.615 ms). In case of 3G network, the principle is similar but time interval changes from 640 ms (DRX = 6, i.e. the width of 26 x 3G frames = 64 x 10 ms = 640 ms) up to 5120 ms (DRX = 9, i.e. width of 29 x 3G frames = 512 x 10 ms = 5120 ms). An example of a module current consumption profile is shown in Figure 14: the module is registered with the network (2G or 3G), automatically enters idle-mode and periodically wakes up to active mode to monitor the paging channel for paging block reception.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-30.png)

An example of the current consumption profile of the data module when power saving is disabled is shown in Figure 15: the module is registered with the network, active-mode is maintained, and the receiver and the DSP are periodically activated to monitor the paging channel for paging block reception.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-31.png)

This supply domain is internally generated by a linear regulator integrated in the Power Management Unit. The output of this linear regulator is always enabled when the main voltage supply provided to the module through VCC is within the valid operating range, with the module switched-off or powered-on.

![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 33 of 160 The RTC provides the time reference (date and time) of the module, also in power-off mode, when the V_BCKP voltage is within its valid range (specified in the Input characteristics of Supply/Power pins table in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]). The RTC timing is normally used to set the wake-up interval during idle-mode periods between network paging, but is able to provide programmable alarm functions by means of the internal 32.768 kHz clock. The RTC can be supplied from an external back-up battery through the V_BCKP, when the main voltage supply is not provided to the module through VCC. This lets the time reference (date and time) run until the V_BCKP voltage is within its valid range, even when the main supply is not provided to the module. The RTC oscillator doesn't necessarily stop operation (i.e. the RTC counting doesn't necessarily stop) when V_BCKP voltage value drops below the specified operating range minimum limit (1.00 V): the RTC value read after a system restart could be not reliable as explained in the following Table 12. V_BCKP voltage value RTC value reliability Notes 1.00 V < V_BCKP < 1.90 V (LISA-U2 series) 1.00 V < V_BCKP < 2.50 V (LISA-U1 series) RTC oscillator doesn't stop operation RTC value read after a restart of the system is reliable V_BCKP within operating range 0.05 V < V_BCKP < 1.00 V RTC oscillator doesn't necessarily stop operation RTC value read after a restart of the system is not reliable V_BCKP below operating range 0.00 V < V_BCKP < 0.05 V RTC oscillator stops operation RTC value read after a restart of the system is reliable V_BCKP below operating range Table 12: RTC value reliability as function of V_BCKP voltage value Consider that the module cannot switch on if a valid voltage is not present on VCC even when the RTC is supplied through V_BCKP (meaning that VCC is mandatory to switch-on the module). The RTC has very low power consumption, but is highly temperature dependent. For example at 25°C, with the V_BCKP voltage equal to the typical output value, the power consumption is approximately 2 µA (refer to the Input characteristics of Supply/Power pins table in the LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and in the LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2] for the detailed specification), whereas at 70°C and an equal voltage the power consumption increases to 5-10 µA. The internal regulator for V_BCKP is optimized for low leakage current and very light loads. It is not recommended to use V_BCKP to supply external loads. If V_BCKP is left unconnected and the module main voltage supply is removed from VCC, the RTC is supplied from the bypass capacitor mounted inside the module. However, this capacitor is not able to provide a long buffering time: within few milliseconds the voltage on V_BCKP will go below the valid range (1 V min). This has no impact on wireless connectivity, as all the functionalities of the module do not rely on date and time setting. Leave V_BCKP unconnected if the RTC is not required when the VCC supply is removed. The date and time will not be updated when VCC is disconnected. If VCC is always supplied, then the internal regulator is supplied from the main supply and there is no need for an external component on V_BCKP. If RTC is required to run for a time interval of T [s] at 25°C when VCC supply is removed, place a capacitor with a nominal capacitance of C [µF] at the V_BCKP pin. Choose the capacitor using the following formula: C [µF] = (Current_Consumption [µA] x T [s]) / Voltage_Drop [V] = 1.92 x T [s] for LISA-U1 series = 2.50 x T [s] for LISA-U2 series For example, a 100 µF capacitor (such as the Murata GRM43SR60J107M) can be placed at V_BCKP to provide a long buffering time. This capacitor will hold V_BCKP voltage within its valid range for around 50 s at 25°C, after the VCC supply is removed. If a very long buffering time is required, a 70 mF super-capacitor (e.g. Seiko](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-33.png)

The purpose of the series resistor is to limit the capacitor charging current due to the large capacitor specifications, and also to let a fast rise time of the voltage value at the V_BCKP pin after VCC supply has been provided. These capacitors will allow the time reference to run during battery disconnection.

The battery should be able to provide a proper nominal voltage and must never exceed the maximum operating voltage for V_BCKP (specified in the Input characteristics of Supply/Power pins table in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and in LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]). The connection of the battery to V_BCKP should be done with a suitable series resistor for a rechargeable battery, or with an appropriate series diode for a non-rechargeable battery. The purpose of the series resistor is to limit the battery charging current due to the battery specifications, and also to allow a fast rise time of the voltage value at the V_BCKP pin after the VCC supply has been provided. The purpose of the series diode is to avoid a current flow from the module V_BCKP pin to the non-rechargeable battery. Combining a LISA-U series wireless module with a u-blox GPS receiver, the VCC supply of the GPS receiver is controlled by the wireless module by means of the GPS supply enable function provided by the GPIO2 of the wireless module. In this case the V_BCKP supply output of the LISA-U series wireless module can be connected to the V_BCKP backup supply input pin of the GPS receiver to provide the supply for the GPS real time clock and backup RAM when the VCC supply of the wireless module is within its operating range and the VCC supply of the GPS receiver is disabled. This enables the u-blox GPS receiver to recover from a power breakdown with either a Hotstart or a Warmstart (depending on the duration of the GPS VCC outage) and to maintain the configuration settings saved in the backup RAM. Refer to section 1.10 for more details regarding the application circuit with a u-blox GPS receiver. 1.5.5 Interface supply (V_INT) The same voltage domain used internally to supply the digital interfaces is also available on the V_INT pin. The internal regulator that generates the V_INT supply is a switching step down converter that is directly supplied from VCC. The voltage regulator output is set to 1.8 V (typical) when the module is switched on and is disabled when the module is switched off or when the RESET_N pin is forced the low level. The switching regulator operates in Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for high output current mode but automatically switches to Pulse](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-34.png)

Name Description Remarks V_INT Digital Interfaces supply output V_INT = 1.8V (typical) generated by the module when it is switched-on and the RESET_N (external reset input pin) is not forced to the low level. V_INT is the internal supply for digital interfaces. The user may draw limited current from this supply rail. Table 14: Interface supply pin The V_INT pin ESD sensitivity rating is 1 kV (Human Body Model according to JESD22-A114F). Higher protection level could be required if the line is externally accessible on the application board. Higher protection level can be achieved by mounting an ESD protection (e.g. EPCOS CA05P4S14THSG varistor array) on the line connected to this pin, close to accessible point. Since it supplies internal digital circuits (see Figure 4), V_INT is not suited to directly supply any sensitive analog circuit: the voltage ripple can range from 15 mVpp during active mode (PWM), to 70 mVpp in idle-mode (PFM). V_INT can be used to supply external digital circuits operating at the same voltage level as the digital interface pins, i.e. 1.8 V (typical). It is not recommended to supply analog circuitry without adequate filtering for digital noise. Don’t apply loads which might exceed the limit for maximum available current from V_INT supply, as this can cause malfunctions in internal circuitry supplies to the same domain. The detailed electrical characteristics are described in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]. V_INT can only be used as an output; don’t connect any external regulator on V_INT. If not used, this pin should be left unconnected. The V_INT digital interfaces supply output is mainly used to: Pull-up DDC (I2C) interface signals (see section 1.10.2 for more details) Pull-up SIM detection signal (see section 1.8 for more details) Supply voltage translators to connect digital interfaces of the module to a 3.0 V device (see section 1.9.2.4) Indicate when the module is switched on and the RESET_N (external reset input) is not forced low 1.6 System functions 1.6.1 Module power-on The power-on sequence of LISA-U series modules is initiated in one of these ways: Rising edge on the VCC pin to a valid voltage as module supply (i.e. applying module supply) Low level on the PWR_ON pin (i.e. forcing to the low level the pin normally high by external pull-up) Rising edge on the RESET_N pin (i.e. releasing from low level the pin, normally high by internal pull-up) RTC alarm (i.e. pre-programmed scheduled time by AT+CALA command)](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-35.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 36 of 160 Name Description Remarks PWR_ON Power-on input PWR_ON pin has high input impedance. Do not keep floating in noisy environment: external pull-up required. Table 15: Power-on pin The PWR_ON pin ESD sensitivity rating is 1 kV (Human Body Model according to JESD22-A114F). Higher protection level could be required if the line is externally accessible on the application board. Higher protection level can be achieved by mounting an ESD protection (e.g. EPCOS CA05P4S14THSG varistor array) on the line connected to this pin, close to accessible point. 1.6.1.1 Rising edge on VCC When a supply is connected to VCC pins, the module supply supervision circuit controls the subsequent activation of the power up state machines: the module is switched on when the voltage rises up to the VCC normal operating range minimum limit starting from a voltage value lower than 2.25 V (refer to LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2] for the VCC normal operating range minimum limit). The voltage at the VCC pins must ramp from 2.5 V to 3.2 V within 1 ms to switch on the module. 1.6.1.2 Low level on PWR_ON The module power-on sequence starts when a low level is forced on the PWR_ON input for at least 5 ms. The electrical characteristics of the PWR_ON input pin are slightly different between LISA-U1 series and LISA-U2 series modules, and are different from the other digital I/O interfaces: the pin provides different input voltage thresholds and is tolerant of voltages up to the module supply level. The detailed electrical characteristics are described in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]. The PWR_ON pin has high input impedance and is weakly pulled to the high level on the module. Avoid keeping it floating in a noisy environment. To hold the high logic level stable, the PWR_ON pin must be connected to a pull-up resistor (e.g. 100 kΩ) biased by the V_BCKP supply pin of the module. Following are some typical examples of application circuits to turn the module on using the PWR_ON input pin. The simplest way to turn on the module is to use a push button that shorts the PWR_ON input to ground: in this case the V_BCKP supply pin can be used to bias the pull-up resistor. If PWR_ON input is connected to an external device (e.g. application processor), it is suggested to use an open drain output on the external device with an external pull-up resistor (e.g. 100 kΩ) biased by the V_BCKP supply pin of the module. A push-pull output of an application processor can also be used: in this case the pull-up can be used to pull the PWR_ON level high when the application processor is switched off. If the high-level voltage of the push-pull output pin of the application processor is greater than the maximum input voltage operating range of the V_BCKP pin (refer to the V_BCKP Input characteristics of Supply/Power pins table in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]), the V_BCKP supply cannot be used to bias the pull-up resistor: the supply rail of the application processor or the VCC supply could be used, but this will increase the V_BCKP (RTC supply) current consumption when the module is in not-powered mode (VCC supply not present). Using a push-pull output of the external device, take care to fix the proper level in all the possible scenarios to avoid an inappropriate switch-on of the module.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-36.png)

RESET_N input pin can also be used to perform an “external” or “hardware” reset of the module, as described in the section 1.6.3. Electrical characteristics of the LISA-U series RESET_N input are slightly different from the other digital I/O interfaces: the pin provides different input voltage thresholds. Detailed electrical characteristics are described in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]. RESET_N is pulled high to V_BCKP by an integrated pull-up resistor also when the module is in power-off mode. Therefore an external pull-up is not required on the application board. The simplest way to switch on the module by means of the RESET_N input pin is to use a push button that shorts the RESET_N pin to ground: the module will be switched on at the release of the push button, since the RESET_N will be forced to the high level by the integrated pull-up resistor, generating a rising edge. If RESET_N is connected to an external device (e.g. an application processor on an application board) an open drain output can be directly connected without any external pull-up. A push-pull output can be used too: in this case make sure that the high level voltage of the push-pull circuit is below the maximum voltage operating range of the RESET_N pin (specified in the RESET_N pin characteristics table in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]). To avoid unwanted power-on or reset of the module make sure to fix the proper level at the RESET_N input pin in all possible scenarios. Some typical examples of application circuits using the RESET_N input pin are described in the section 1.6.3.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-37.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 38 of 160 1.6.1.4 Real Time Clock (RTC) alarm If a voltage within the operating range is maintained at the VCC pin, the module can be switched on by the RTC alarm when the RTC system reaches a pre-programmed scheduled time (refer to the u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], AT+CALA command). The RTC system will then initiate the boot sequence by instructing the Power Management Unit to turn on power. Also included in this setup is an interrupt signal from the RTC block to indicate to the baseband processor that an RTC event has occurred. 1.6.1.5 Additional considerations The module is switched on when the VCC voltage rises up to the normal operating range (i.e. applying module supply): the first time that the module is used, it is switched on in this way. Then, LISA-U series modules can be switched off by means of the AT+CPWROFF command. When the module is in power-off mode, i.e. the AT+CPWROFF command has been sent and a voltage value within the normal operating range limits is still provided to the VCC pin, the digital input-output pads of the baseband chipset (i.e. all the digital pins of the module) are locked in tri-state (i.e. floating). The power down tri-state function isolates the module pins from its environment, when no proper operation of the outputs can be guaranteed. The module can be switched on from power-off mode by forcing a proper start-up event (i.e. low level on the PWR_ON pin, or an RTC alarm). After the detection of a start-up event, all the digital pins of the module are held in tri-state until all the internal LDO voltage regulators are turned on in a defined power-on sequence. Then, as described in Figure 18, the baseband core is still held in reset state for a time interval: the internal reset signal (which is not available on a module pin) is still low and any signal from the module digital interfaces is held in reset state. The reset state of all the digital pins is reported in the pin description table of LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]. When the internal signal is released, the configuration of the module interfaces starts: during this phase any digital pin is set in a proper sequence from the reset state to the default operational configuration. Finally, the module is fully ready to operate when all interfaces are configured.

If the external signals connected to the wireless module cannot be tri-stated, insert a multi channel digital switch (e.g. Texas Instruments SN74CB3Q16244, TS5A3159, or TS5A63157) between the two-circuit connections and set to high impedance during module power down mode, when external reset is forced low and during power on sequence. 1.6.2 Module power-off The correct way to switch off LISA-U series modules is by means of +CPWROFF AT command (more details in u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]): in this way the current parameter settings are saved in the module’s non-volatile memory and a proper network detach is performed. LISA-U2 series modules can additional be properly switched off by means of the PWR_ON input pin: the PWR_ON signal must be held to the low logic level for more than 1 s to start the module power-off sequence. In this way, current parameter settings are saved in LISA-U2 series module’s non-volatile memory and a correct network detach is performed: the same sequence is performed as by the +CPWROFF AT command. An under-voltage shutdown occurs on LISA-U series modules when the VCC supply is removed, but in this case the current parameter settings are not saved in the module’s non-volatile memory and a proper network detach cannot be performed. The power-off sequence by means of +CPWROFF AT command is described in Figure 19. When the +CPWROFF AT command is sent, the module starts the switch-off routine replying OK on the AT interface. At the end of the switch-off routine, all digital pins are locked in tri-state by the module and all the internal LDO voltage regulators except the RTC supply (V_BCKP) are turned off in a defined power-off sequence. The module remains in power-off mode as long as a switch on event doesn’t occur (i.e. applying a low level on the PWR_ON pin, or releasing from low level the RESET_N pin, or by a pre-programmed RTC alarm), and enters not-powered mode if the supply is removed from the VCC pin. Current parameter settings are stored to the module’s non-volatile memory and a network detach is performed before the OK reply from AT+CPWROFF command on all LISA-U series modules except LISA-U1xx-00 versions. Storage of parameters and network detach are performed before the end of the switch-off routine, but not necessary before the OK reply from AT+CPWROFF command on LISA-U1xx-00 versions. Since the time to perform a network detach depends on the network settings, the duration of the switch off routine phases can differ from the typical values reported in Figure 19.

Tristated pins are always subject to floating caused by noise: to prevent unwanted effects, fix them with proper pull-up or pull down resistors to stable voltage rails to fix their level when the module is in Power down state. Any external signal connected to the UART interface, SPI/IPC interface, I2S interfaces and GPIOs must be tri-stated when the module is in power-down mode, when the external reset is forced low and during the module power-on sequence (at least for 1500 ms after the start-up event), to avoid latch-up of circuits and allow a proper boot of the module. If the external signals connected to the wireless module cannot be tri-stated, insert a multi channel digital switch (e.g. Texas Instruments SN74CB3Q16244, TS5A3159, or TS5A63157) between the two-circuit connections and set to high impedance during module power down mode, when external reset is forced low and during power-on sequence. 1.6.3 Module reset LISA-U series modules reset can be performed in one of 2 ways: Forcing a low level on the RESET_N input pin, causing an “external” or “hardware” reset Via AT command, causing an “internal” or “software” reset RESET_N input pin: force low for at least 50 ms; either an “external” or “hardware” reset is performed. This causes an asynchronous reset of the entire module, including the integrated Power Management Unit, except for the RTC internal block: the V_INT interfaces supply is switched off and all the digital pins are tri-stated, but the V_BCKP supply and the RTC block are enabled. Forcing an “external” or “hardware” reset, the current parameter settings are not saved in the module’s non-volatile memory and a proper network detach is not performed. AT+CFUN command (more details in u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]): in this case an “internal” or “software” reset is performed, causing an asynchronous reset of the baseband processor, excluding the integrated Power Management Unit and the RTC internal block: the V_INT interfaces supply is enabled and each digital pin is set in its internal reset state (reported in the pin description table in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]), the V_BCKP supply and the RTC block are enabled. Forcing an “internal” or “software” reset, the current parameter settings are saved in the module’s non-volatile memory and a proper network detach is performed. When RESET_N is released from the low level, the module automatically starts its power-on sequence from the reset state. The same procedure is followed for the module reset via AT command after having performed the network detach and the parameter saving in non-volatile memory. The internal reset state of all digital pins is reported in the pin description table in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2].

As ESD immunity test precaution, a 47 pF bypass capacitor (e.g. Murata GRM1555C1H470JA01) and a series ferrite bead (e.g. Murata BLM15HD182SN1) must be added on the RESET_N line pin of LISA-U1 series modules and an additional 220 nF bypass capacitor (e.g. Murata GRM155R60J224KE01) must be added as close as possible to the RESET_N pin of LISA-U2 series modules to avoid a module reset caused by an electrostatic discharge applied to the application board (for more details, refer to chapter 2.5.3).

UART interface provides RS-232 functionality conforming to the ITU-T V.24 Recommendation (more details available in ITU Recommendation [4]), 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. Two different external voltage translators (e.g. Maxim MAX3237E and Texas Instruments SN74AVC8T245PW) could be used to provide full RS-232 (9 lines) compatible signal levels. The Texas Instruments chip provides the translation from 1.8 V to 3.3 V, while the Maxim chip provides the necessary RS-232 compatible signal towards the external connector. If a UART interface with only 5 lines is needed, the Maxim 13234E voltage level translator can be used. This chip translates the voltage levels from 1.8 V (module](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-46.png)

Hardware flow control is enabled by default.

At the switch on of the module, before the initialization of the UART interface, as described in the power-on sequence reported in the Figure 18, each pin is first tri-stated and then is set to its relative internal reset state that is reported in the pin description table in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]. At the end of the boot sequence, the UART interface is initialized, the module is by default in active mode and the UART interface is enabled. The configuration and the behavior of the UART signals after the boot sequence are described below. For a complete description of data and command mode please refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3].](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-48.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 49 of 160 RxD signal behavior The module data output line (RxD) is set by default to OFF state (high level) at UART initialization. The module holds RxD in OFF state until no data is transmitted by the module. TxD signal behavior The module data input line (TxD) is set by default to OFF state (high level) at UART initialization. The TxD line is then held by the module in the OFF state if the line is not activated by the DTE: an active pull-up is enabled inside the module on the TxD input. CTS signal behavior The module hardware flow control output (CTS line) is set to the ON state (low level) at UART initialization. If the hardware flow control is enabled (for more details please refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], AT&K, AT\Q, AT+IFC AT command) the CTS line indicates when the UART interface is enabled (data can be sent and received): the module drives the CTS line to the ON state or to the OFF state when it is either able or not able to accept data from the DTE (refer to chapter 1.9.2.3 for the complete description). If the hardware flow control is not enabled, the CTS line is always held in the ON state after UART initialization. In case of hardware flow control enabled, when CTS line is ON the UART is enabled and the module is in active mode. Instead, CTS line to OFF doesn’t necessary mean that the module is in idle-mode, but only that the UART is not enabled (the module could be forced to stay in active-mode for instance by USB). When the power saving configuration is enabled and the hardware flow-control is not implemented in the DTE/DCE connection, data sent by the DTE can be lost: the first character sent when the module is in idle-mode won’t be a valid communication character (refer to chapter 1.9.2.3 for the complete description). When the MUX protocol is active on UART interface, the CTS line state is mapped to FCon / FCoff MUX command for flow control issues outside the power saving configuration while the physical CTS line is still used as a power state indicator. For more details please refer to Mux Implementation Application Note [16]. RTS signal behavior The hardware flow control input (RTS line) is set by default to the OFF state (high level) at UART initialization. The RTS line is then held by the module in the OFF state if the line is not activated by the DTE: an active pull-up is enabled inside the module on the RTS input. If the HW flow control is enabled (for more details please refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3] AT&K, AT\Q, AT+IFC command description) the RTS line is monitored by the module to detect permission from the DTE to send data to the DTE itself. If the RTS line is set to OFF state, any on-going data transmission from the module is immediately interrupted or any subsequent transmission forbidden until the RTS line changes to ON state. The DTE must be able to still accept a certain number of characters after the RTS line has been set to OFF state: the module guarantees the transmission interruption within 2 characters from RTS state change. If AT+UPSV=2 is set and HW flow control is disabled, the RTS line is monitored by the module to manage the power saving configuration: When an OFF-to-ON transition occurs on the RTS input line, the UART is enabled and the module is forced to active-mode; after 20 ms from the transition the switch is completed and data can be received without loss. The module can’t enter idle-mode and the UART is keep enabled as long as the RTS input line is held in the ON state](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-49.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 50 of 160 If RTS is set to OFF state by the DTE, the module automatically enters idle-mode whenever possible as in the AT+UPSV=1 configuration (cyclic idle/active mode), but UART is disabled (held in low power mode) For more details please refer to chapter 1.9.2.3 and u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], AT+UPSV command. DSR signal behavior If AT&S0 is set, the DSR module output line is set by default to ON state (low level) at UART initialization and is then always held in the ON state. If AT&S1 is set, the DSR module output line is set by default to OFF state (high level) at UART initialization. The DSR line is then set to the OFF state when the module is in command mode or in online command mode and is set to the ON state when the module is in data mode. The above behavior is valid for both Packet-Switched and Circuit-Switched Data transfer. DTR signal behavior The DTR module input line is set by default to OFF state (high level) at UART initialization. The DTR line is then held by the module in the OFF state if the line is not activated by the DTE: an active pull-up is enabled inside the module on the DTR input. Module behavior according to DTR status depends on the AT command configuration (see u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], &D AT command). DCD signal behavior If AT&C0 is set, the DCD module output line is set by default to ON state (low level) at UART initialization and is then always held in the ON state. If AT&C1 is set, the DCD module output line is set by default to OFF state (high level) at UART initialization. The DCD line is then set by the module in accordance with the carrier detect status: ON if the carrier is detected, OFF otherwise. In case of voice call DCD is set to ON state when the call is established. For a data call there are the following scenarios: GPRS data communication: Before activating the PPP protocol (data mode) a dial-up application must provide the ATD*99***<context_number># to the module: with this command the module switches from command mode to data mode and can accept PPP packets. The module sets the DCD line to the ON state, then answers with a CONNECT to confirm the ATD*99 command. Please note that the DCD ON is not related to the context activation but with the data mode CSD data call: To establish a data call the DTE can send the ATD<number> command to the module which sets an outgoing data call to a remote modem (or another data module). Data can be transparent (non reliable) or non transparent (with the reliable RLP protocol). When the remote DCE accepts the data call, the module DCD line is set to ON and the CONNECT <communication baudrate> string is returned by the module. At this stage the DTE can send characters through the serial line to the data module which sends them through the network to the remote DCE attached to a remote DTE In case of a voice call DCD is set to ON state on all the serial communication interfaces supporting the AT command interface. (including MUX virtual channels, if active). DCD is set to ON during the execution of a command requiring input data from the DTE (all the commands where a prompt is issued; see AT commands +CMGS, +CMGW, +USOWR, +USODL, +UDWNFILE in u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]). The DCD line is set to ON state as soon as the switch to binary/text input mode is completed and the prompt is issued; DCD line is set to OFF as soon as the input mode is interrupted or completed.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-50.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 51 of 160 DCD line is kept to ON state even during the online command state to indicate that the data call is still established even if suspended, while if the module enters command mode DSR line is set to OFF state. For more details refer to DSR signal behavior description. In case of scenarios for which the DCD line setting is requested for different reasons (e.g. SMS texting during online command state), the DCD line changes to guarantee the correct behavior for all the scenarios. For instance, in case of SMS texting in online command state, if the data call is released, the DCD line will be kept to ON till the SMS command execution is completed (even if the data call release would request the DCD setting to OFF). RI signal behavior The RI module output line is set by default to the OFF state (high level) at UART initialization. Then, during an incoming call, the RI line is switched from OFF state to ON state with a 4:1 duty cycle and a 5 s period (ON for 1 s, OFF for 4 s, see Figure 23), until the DTE attached to the module sends the ATA string and the module accepts the incoming data call. The RING string sent by the module (DCE) to the serial port at constant time intervals is not correlated with the switch of the RI line to the ON state. Figure 23: RI behavior during an incoming call The RI line can notify an SMS arrival. When the SMS arrives, the RI line switches from OFF to ON for 1 s (see Figure 24), if the feature is enabled by the proper AT command (please refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], AT+CNMI command). Figure 24: RI behavior at SMS arrival This behavior allows the DTE to stay in power saving mode until the DCE related event requests service. In case of SMS arrival, if several events occur coincidently or in quick succession each event triggers the RI line independently, although the line will not be deactivated between each event. As a result, the RI line may stay to ON for more than 1 s. If an incoming call is answered within less than 1 s (with ATA or if autoanswering is set to ATS0=1) than the RI line will be set to OFF earlier. As a result: RI line monitoring can’t be used by the DTE to determine the number of received SMSes. SMS arrives time [s] 0 RI ON RI OFF 1s SMS time [s] 0 RI ON RI OFF 1s 1stime [s]151050RI ONRI OFFCall incomes1stime [s]151050RI ONRI OFFCall incomes](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-51.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 52 of 160 In case of multiple events (incoming call plus SMS received), the RI line can’t be used to discriminate the two events, but the DTE must rely on the subsequent URCs and interrogate the DCE with the proper commands. 1.9.2.3 UART and power-saving The power saving configuration is controlled by the AT+UPSV command (for the complete description please refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], AT+UPSV command). When power saving is enabled, the module automatically enters idle-mode whenever possible, otherwise the active-mode is maintained by the module. The AT+UPSV command sets the module power saving configuration, but also configures the UART behavior in relation to the power saving configuration. The conditions for the module entering idle-mode also depend on the UART power saving configuration. The different power saving configurations that can be set by the AT+UPSV command are described in the following subchapters and are summarized in Table 24. For more details on the command description please refer to u-blox AT commands Manual [3]. AT+UPSV HW flow control RTS line Communication during idle-mode and wake up 0 Enabled (AT&K3) ON Data sent by the DTE will be correctly received by the module. 0 Enabled (AT&K3) OFF Data sent by the module will be buffered by the module and will be correctly received by the DTE when it will be ready to receive data (i.e. RTS line will be ON). 0 Disabled (AT&K0) ON Data sent by the DTE will be correctly received by the module. 0 Disabled (AT&K0) OFF Data sent by the module will be correctly received by the DTE if it is ready to receive data, otherwise data will be lost. 1 Enabled (AT&K3) ON Data sent by the DTE will be buffered by the DTE and will be correctly received by the module when active-mode is entered. 1 Enabled (AT&K3) OFF Data sent by the module will be buffered by the module and will be correctly received by the DTE when it is ready to receive data (i.e. RTS line will be ON). 1 Disabled (AT&K0) ON If the module is in idle-mode, when a low-to-high transition occurs on the TxD input line, the module switches from idle-mode to active-mode after 20 ms: this is the “wake up time” of the module. As a consequence, the first character sent when the module is in idle-mode (i.e. the wake up character) won’t be a valid communication character because it can’t be recognized, and the recognition of the subsequent characters is guaranteed only after the complete wake-up (i.e. after 20 ms). 1 Disabled (AT&K0) OFF Data sent by the module will be correctly received by the DTE if it is ready to receive data, otherwise data will be lost. 2 Enabled (AT&K3) ON Not Applicable: HW flow control cannot be enabled with AT+UPSV=2. 2 Enabled (AT&K3) OFF Not Applicable: HW flow control cannot be enabled with AT+UPSV=2. 2 Disabled (AT&K0) ON The module is forced in active-mode and it can’t enter idle-mode until RTS line is set to OFF state. When a high-to-low (i.e. OFF-to-ON) transition occurs on the RTS input line, the module switches from idle-mode to active-mode after 20 ms: this is the “wake up time” of the module. 2 Disabled (AT&K0) OFF When a low-to-high transition occurs on the TxD input line, the UART is re-enabled and if the module was in idle-mode it switches from idle-mode to active-mode after 20 ms: this is the “wake up time” of the module. As a consequence, the first character sent when the module is in idle-mode (i.e. the wake up character) won’t be a valid communication character because it can’t be recognized, and the recognition of the subsequent characters is guaranteed only after the complete wake-up (i.e. after 20 ms). Table 24: UART and power-saving summary AT+UPSV=0: power saving disabled, fixed active-mode The module doesn’t enter idle-mode and the UART interface is enabled (data can be sent and received): the CTS line is always held in the ON state after UART initialization. This is the default configuration.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-52.png)

Instead, the UART is disabled as long as RTS line is set to OFF. If the RTS line is set to ON by the DTE the module is not allowed to enter idle-mode and the UART is kept enabled until the RTS line is set to OFF. When an OFF-to-ON transition occurs on the RTS input line, the UART is re-enabled and the module switches from idle-mode to active-mode in 20 ms. This configuration can only be enabled with the module HW flow control disabled. Since HW flow control is disabled, the CTS line is always set to ON by the module. When the RTS line is set to OFF by the DTE, the timeout to enter idle-mode from the last data received at the serial port during the active-mode is the one previously set with the AT+UPSV=1 configuration or it is the default value. If the module must transmit some data (e.g. URC), the UART is temporarily enabled even if the RTS line is set to OFF; UART wake-up in case of RTS line set to OFF is also possible via data reception (as described in the following). If the USB is connected and active, the module is forced to stay in active-mode, therefore +UPSV=1 and +UPSV=2 modes are overruled, but in any case they have effect on the UART behavior (they configure UART power saving mode, when it is enabled/disabled). Wake up from idle-mode to active-mode via data reception If data is transmitted by the DTE during the module idle-mode, it will be lost (not correctly received by the module) in the following cases: +UPSV=1 with hardware flow control disabled +UPSV=2 with hardware flow control disabled and RTS line set to OFF When the module is in idle-mode, the TxD input line of the module is always configured to wake up the module from idle-mode to active-mode via data reception: when a low-to-high transition occurs on the TxD input line, it causes the wake-up of the system. The module switches from idle-mode to active-mode within 20 ms from the first data reception: this is the “wake up time” of the module. As a consequence, the first character sent when the module is in idle-mode (i.e. the wake up character) won’t be a valid communication character because it can’t be recognized, and the recognition of the subsequent characters is guaranteed only after the complete wake-up (i.e. after 20 ms). Figure 26 and Figure 27 show an example of common scenarios and timing constraints: HW flow control set in the DCE, and no HW flow control set in the DTE, needed to see the CTS line changing on DCE](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-54.png)

In command mode, if HW flow control is not implemented by the DTE, the DTE must always send a dummy “AT” to the module before each command line: the first character will not be ignored if the module is in active-mode (i.e. the module will reply “OK”), or it will represent the wake up character if the module is in idle-mode (i.e. the module won’t reply). No dummy “AT” is required from the DTE during connected-mode since the module continues to be in active-mode and doesn’t need to be woken-up. Furthermore in data mode a dummy “AT” would affect the data communication. 1.9.2.4 UART application circuits Providing the full RS-232 functionality (using the complete V.24 link) For complete RS-232 functionality conforming to ITU Recommendation [4] in DTE/DCE serial communication, the complete UART interface of the module (DCE) must be connected to a 1.8V DTE as described in Figure 28.

![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 61 of 160 Additional considerations If the module USB interface is connected to the application processor, it is highly recommended to provide direct access to RxD, TxD, CTS and RTS lines of the module for execution of firmware upgrade over UART and for debug purpose: testpoints can be added on the lines to accommodate the access and a 0 Ω series resistor must be mounted on each line to detach the module pin from any other connected device. Otherwise, if the USB interface is not connected to the application processor, it is highly recommended to provide direct access to VUSB_DET, USB_D+, USB_D- lines for execution of firmware upgrade over USB and for debug purpose. In both cases, provide as well access to RESET_N pin, or to the PWR_ON pin, or enable the DC supply connected to the VCC pin to start the module firmware upgrade (see Firmware Update Application Note [18]). If the UART interface is not used, all the UART interface pins can be left unconnected, but it is highly recommended to provide direct access to the RxD, TxD, CTS and RTS lines for execution of firmware upgrade and for debug purpose. Any external signal connected to the UART interface must be tri-stated when the module is in power-down mode, when the external reset is forced low and during the module power-on sequence (at least for 1500 ms after the start-up event), to avoid latch-up of circuits and allow a proper boot of the module. If the external signals connected to the wireless module cannot be tri-stated, insert a multi channel digital switch (e.g. Texas Instruments SN74CB3Q16244, TS5A3159, or TS5A63157) between the two-circuit connections and set to high impedance during module power down mode, when external reset is forced low and during power-on sequence. 1.9.3 USB interface LISA-U series modules provide a high-speed USB interface at 480 Mb/s compliant with the Universal Serial Bus Revision 2.0 specification [8]. It acts as a USB device and can be connected to any USB host such as a PC or other Application Processor. The USB-device shall look for all upper-SW-layers like any other serial device. This means that LISA-U series modules emulate all serial control logical lines. If the logical DTR line isn't enabled by the USB host, the LISA-U1xx-00 modules don’t answer to AT commands by the USB interface.

Higher protection level could be required if the lines are externally accessible on the application board.

The 6 available CDCs are configured as described in the following list: USB1: AT commands / data connection USB2: AT commands / data connection USB3: AT commands / data connection USB4: GPS tunneling dedicated port USB5: 2G and BB trace dedicated port USB6: 3G trace dedicated port All LISA-U2 series modules versions except LISA-U200-00 provide an additional USB CDC: USB7: SIM Access Profile dedicated port The user can concurrently use AT command interface on one CDC and Packet-Switched / Circuit-Switched Data communication on another CDC. All LISA-U2 series modules versions except LISA-U200-00 support audio over USB capabilities: Audio Device Class is implemented to provide an audio streaming interface, which transfers audio data over isochronous pipes. USB drivers for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows CE, Windows EC and Android are available. LISA-U series module identifies itself by its VID (Vendor ID) and PID (Product ID) combination, included in the USB device descriptor. VID and PID of LISA-U series modules are the following: VID = 0x1546 PID = 0x1101 for LISA-U1 series PID = 0x1102 for LISA-U2 series If the USB interface of LISA-U series module is connected to the host before the module switch on, or if the module is reset with the USB interface connected to the host, the VID and PID are automatically updated runtime, after the USB detection. First, VID and PID are the following: VID = 0x058B PID = 0x0041 Then, after a time period (~5 s), VID and PID are updated to the following: VID = 0x1546 PID = 0x1101 for LISA-U1 series PID = 0x1102 for LISA-U2 series 1.9.3.2 USB and power saving If power saving is enabled by AT command (AT+UPSV=1 or AT+UPSV=2), the LISA-U series module automatically enters the USB suspended state when the device has observed no bus traffic for a specified period (refer to the Universal Serial Bus Revision 2.0 specification [8]). In suspended state, the module maintains any internal status as USB device, including its address and configuration. In addition, the module enters the suspended state when the hub port it is attached to is disabled: this is referred to as USB selective suspend. The module exits suspend mode when there is bus activity. LISA-U series module is capable of USB remote wake-up signaling: i.e. may request the host to exit suspend mode or selective suspend by using electrical signaling to indicate remote wake-up. This notifies the host that it should resume from its suspended mode, if necessary, and service the external event that triggered the suspended USB device to signal the host. Remote wake-up is accomplished using electrical signaling described in the Universal Serial Bus Revision 2.0 specification [8].](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-62.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 63 of 160 When the USB enters suspended state, the average VCC module current consumption of LISA-U series module is ~400 µA higher then when the USB is not attached to a USB host. If power saving is disabled by AT+UPSV=0 and the LISA-U series module is attached to a USB host as USB device, is configured and is not suspended, the average VCC module current consumption in fixed active mode is increased to ~40 mA. 1.9.3.3 USB application circuit Since the module acts as a USB device, the USB supply (5.0 V typ.) must be provided to VUSB_DET by the connected USB host. The USB interface is enabled only when a valid voltage as USB supply is detected by the VUSB_DET input. Neither the USB interface, nor the whole module is supplied by the VUSB_DET input: the VUSB_DET senses the USB supply voltage and absorbs few microamperes. The USB_D+ and USB_D- lines carry the USB serial data and signaling. The lines are used in single ended mode for relatively low speed signaling handshake, as well as in differential mode for fast signaling and data transfer. USB pull-up or pull-down resistors on pins USB_D+ and USB_D- as required by the Universal Serial Bus Revision 2.0 specification [8] are part of the USB pad driver and do not need to be externally provided. External series resistors on pins USB_D+ and USB_D- as required by the Universal Serial Bus Revision 2.0 specification [8] are also integrated: characteristic impedance of USB_D+ and USB_D- lines is specified by the USB standard. The most important parameter is the differential characteristic impedance applicable for odd-mode electromagnetic field, which should be as close as possible to 90 differential: signal integrity may be degraded if the PCB layout is not optimal, especially when the USB signaling lines are very long.

If the data has been exchanged, the slave deactivates SPI_SRDY to process the received information. The master does not need to de-assert SPI_MRDY as it controls the SPI_SCLK 5. After the preparation, the slave activates again SPI_SRDY and wait for SPI_SCLK activation. When the clock is active, all data is transferred without intervention. If there is more data to transfer (flag set in any of the headers), the process will repeat from step 3 Slave ended transfer Figure 38: Data transfer terminated and then restarted by LISA-U series module (slave) Starting from the state where data transfer is ongoing, the following actions will happen: 1. In case of the last transfer, the master will lower its SPI_MRDY line. After the data-transfer is finished the line must be low. If the slave has already set its SPI_SRDY line, the master must raise its line to initiate the next transfer (slave-waking-procedure) 2. If the data has been exchanged, the slave will deactivate SPI_SRDY to process the received information. This is the normal behavior 3. The slave will indicate the master that is ready to send data by activating SPI_SRDY 4. When the master is ready to send, it will signalize this by activating SPI_MRDY. This is optional, when SPI_MRDY is low before 5. The slave indicates immediately after a transfer termination that it is ready to start transmission again. In this case the slave will raise SPI_SRDY again. The SPI_MRDY line can be either high or low: the master has only to ensure that the SPI_SRDY change will be detected correctly via interrupt For more details regarding IPC communication protocol please refer to SPI Application Note [19]. 1.9.4.4 IPC application circuit SPI_MOSI is the data line input for the module since it runs as SPI slave: it must be connected to the data line output (MOSI) of the application processor that runs as an SPI master. SPI_MISO is the data line output for the module since it runs as SPI slave: it must be connected to the data line input (MISO) of the application processor that runs as an SPI master. SPI_SCLK is the clock input for the module since it runs as SPI slave: it must be connected to the clock line output (SCLK) of the application processor that runs as an SPI master. SPI_MRDY is an input for the module able to detect an external interrupt which comes from the application processor. SPI_SRDY is an output for the module, and the application processor should be able to detect an external interrupt which comes from the module on its connected pin. Signal integrity of the high speed data lines may be degraded if the PCB layout is not optimal, especially when the SPI lines are very long: keep routing short and minimize parasitic capacitance to preserve signal integrity.

If the SPI/IPC interface is not used, the SPI_MOSI, SPI_MISO, SPI_SCLK, SPI_MRDY, SPI_SRDY pins can be left unconnected. Any external signal connected to the SPI / IPC interface must be tri-stated when the module is in power-down mode, when the external reset is forced low and during the module power-on sequence (at least for 1500 ms after the start-up event), to avoid latch-up of circuits and allow a proper boot of the module. If the external signals connected to the wireless module cannot be tri-stated, insert a multi channel digital switch (e.g. Texas Instruments SN74CB3Q16244, TS5A3159, or TS5A63157) between the two-circuit connections and set to high impedance during module power down mode, when external reset is forced low and during power-on sequence. 1.9.5 MUX Protocol (3GPP 27.010) LISA-U series modules have a software layer with MUX functionality, 3GPP TS 27.010 Multiplexer Protocol [7], available either on the UART or on the SPI physical link. The USB interface doesn’t support the multiplexer protocol. This is a data link protocol (layer 2 of OSI model) which uses HDLC-like framing and operates between the module (DCE) and the application processor (DTE) and allows a number of simultaneous sessions over the used physical link (UART or SPI): the user can concurrently use AT command interface on one MUX channel and Packet-Switched / Circuit-Switched Data communication on another MUX channel. The multiplexer protocol can be used on one serial interface (UART or SPI) at a time. Each session consists of a stream of bytes transferring various kinds of data such as SMS, CBS, PSD, GPS, AT commands in general. This permits, for example, SMS to be transferred to the DTE when a data connection is in progress. The following virtual channels are defined: Channel 0: control channel Channel 1 – 5: AT commands /data connection Channel 6: GPS tunneling All LISA-U2 series modules versions except LISA-U200-00 provide an additional channel: Channel 7: SIM Access Profile dedicated port For more details please refer to GSM Mux implementation Application Note [16].](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-68.png)

The communication between a u-blox wireless module and a u-blox GPS receiver is only provided by this DDC (I2C) interface. Name Description Remarks SCL I2C bus clock line Open drain. External pull-up required. SDA I2C bus data line Open drain. External pull-up required. Table 31: DDC pins The DDC (I2C) interface pins ESD sensitivity rating is 1 kV (HBM according to JESD22-A114F). Higher protection level could be required if the lines are externally accessible on the application board. Higher protection level can be achieved by mounting an ESD protection (e.g. EPCOS CA05P4S14THSG varistor array) on the lines connected to these pins, close to accessible points. u-blox has implemented special features in LISA-U series wireless modules to ease the design effort required for the integration of a u-blox wireless module with a u blox GPS receiver. Combining a u-blox wireless module with a u-blox GPS receiver allows designers to have full access to the GPS receiver directly via the wireless module: it relays control messages to the GPS receiver via a dedicated DDC (I2C) interface. A 2nd interface connected to the GPS receiver is not necessary: AT commands via the UART serial interface of the wireless module allows a fully control of the GPS receiver from any host processor. LISA-U series modules feature embedded GPS aiding that is a set of specific features developed by u-blox to enhance GPS performance, decreasing Time To First Fix (TTFF), thus allowing to calculate the position in a shorter time with higher accuracy. The DDC (I2C) interface of all LISA-U2 series modules versions except LISA-U200-00 can be used to communicate with u-blox GPS receivers and at the same time to control an external audio codec: the LISA-U2 series module acts as an I2C master which can communicate to two I2C slaves as allowed by the I2C bus specifications. Refer to section 1.11.2 for an application circuit with an external audio codec. LISA-U200-00 modules versions don’t support an I2C compatible Display Data Channel (DDC) interface for communication with u-blox GPS receivers and don’t feature embedded GPS aiding. For more details regarding the handling of the DDC (I2C) interface and the GPS aiding features please refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3] (AT+UGPS, AT+UGPRF, AT+UGPIOC commands) and GPS Implementation Application Note [17]. 1.10.2 DDC application circuit The DDC (I2C) interface of LISA-U series modules is used to connect the wireless module to a u-blox GPS receiver: the communication with the u-blox GPS receiver by DDC (I2C) interface is enabled by the AT+UGPS command (for more details refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]). The SDA and SCL lines must be connected to the DDC (I2C) interface pins of the u-blox GPS receiver (i.e. the SDA2 and SCL2 pins of the u-blox GPS receiver) on the application board to allow the communication between the wireless module and the u-blox GPS receiver. To be compliant to the I2C bus specifications, the module bus interface pads are open drain output and pull up resistors must be used. Since the pull-up resistors are not mounted on the module, they must be mounted](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-69.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information System description Page 70 of 160 externally. Resistor values must conform to the I2C bus specifications [9]. If a LISA-U series module is connected by the DDC (I2C) bus to a u-blox GPS receiver (only one device can be connected on the DDC bus), use a pull-up resistor of 4.7 k . Pull-ups must be connected to a supply voltage of 1.8 V (typical), since this is the voltage domain of the DDC pins. V_INT digital interfaces supply output can be used to provide 1.8 V for the pull-ups (for detailed electrical characteristics see LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]). DDC Slave-mode operation is not supported, the module can act as master only. Two lines, serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL), carry information on the bus. SCL is used to synchronize data transfers, and SDA is the data line. Since both lines are open drain outputs, the DDC devices can only drive them low or leave them open. The pull-up resistor pulls the line up to the supply rail if no DDC device is pulling it down to GND. If the pull-ups are missing, SCL and SDA lines are undefined and the DDC bus will not work. The signal shape is defined by the values of the pull-up resistors and the bus capacitance. Long wires on the bus will increase the capacitance. If the bus capacitance is increased, use pull-up resistors with nominal resistance value lower than 4.7 k , to match the I2C bus specifications [9].regarding rise and fall times of the signals. Capacitance and series resistance must be limited on the bus to match the I2C specifications (1.0 µs is the maximum allowed rise time on the SCL and SDA lines): route connections as short as possible. If the pins are not used as DDC bus interface, they can be left unconnected. LISA-U series modules support these GPS aiding types: Local aiding AssistNow Online AssistNow Offline AssistNow Autonomous The embedded GPS aiding features can be used only if the DDC (I2C) interface of the wireless module is connected to the u-blox GPS receivers. The GPIO pins can handle: GPS receiver power-on/off (“GPS supply enable” function provided by GPIO2) The wake up from idle-mode when the GPS receiver is ready to send data (“GPS data ready” function provided by GPIO3) The RTC synchronization signal to the GPS receiver (“GPS RTC sharing” function provided by GPIO4) LISA-U1xx-00 modules versions don’t support the following further features related to GPS functionality: o LISA-U1xx-00 modules versions don’t enter idle-mode when the DDC (I2C) interface is enabled by the AT+UGPS command, even if power saving is enabled by the AT+UPSV command o LISA-U1xx-00 modules versions don’t support “GPS data ready” and “GPS RTC sharing” functions o LISA-U1xx-00 modules versions don’t support AssistNow Autonomous GPS aiding The GPIO2 is by default configured to provide the “GPS supply enable” function (parameter <gpio_mode> of AT+UGPIOC command set to 3 by default), to enable or disable the supply of the u-blox GPS receiver connected to the wireless module by the AT+UGPS command. The pin is set as Output / High, to switch on the u-blox GPS receiver, if the parameter <mode> of AT+UGPS command is set to 1 Output / Low, to switch off the u-blox GPS receiver, if the parameter <mode> of AT+UGPS command is set to 0 (default setting) The pin must be connected to the active-high enable pin (or the active-low shutdown pin) of the voltage regulator that supplies the u-blox GPS receiver on the application board.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-70.png)

This command allows setting the audio path mode, composed by the uplink audio path and the downlink audio path. Each uplink path mode defines the physical input (i.e. the analog or the digital audio input) and the set of parameters to process the uplink audio signal (uplink gains, uplink digital filters, echo canceller parameters). For example the “Headset microphone” uplink path uses the differential analog audio input with the default parameters for the headset profile. Each downlink path mode defines the physical output (i.e. the analog or the digital audio output) and the set of parameters to process the downlink audio signal (downlink gains, downlink digital filters and sidetone). For example the “Mono headset” downlink path uses the differential analog audio output with the default parameters for the headset profile. The set of parameters to process the uplink or the downlink audio signal can be changed with dedicated AT commands for each uplink or downlink path and then stored in two profiles in the non volatile memory (refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3] for Audio parameters tuning commands). 1.11.1 Analog Audio interface LISA-U100, LISA-U110 and LISA-U2 series modules versions don’t support analog audio interface. 1.11.1.1 Uplink path (differential analog audio input) The pins related to the differential analog audio input are: MIC_P / MIC_N: Differential analog audio signal inputs (positive/negative). These two pins are provided with internal series 100 nF capacitors for DC blocking that connect the module pads to the differential input of a Low Noise Amplifier. The LNA output is internally connected to the digital processing system by an integrated sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter The analog audio input is selected when the parameter <main_uplink> in AT+USPM command is set to “Headset microphone”, “Handset microphone” or “Hands-free microphone”: the uplink analog path profiles use the same physical input but have different sets of audio parameters (for more details please refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], AT+USPM, AT+UMGC, AT+UUBF, AT+UHFP commands). There is no microphone supply pin available on the module: an external low noise LDO voltage regulator should be added to provide a proper supply for a microphone. Detailed electrical characteristics of the differential analog audio input can be found in the LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1].](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-74.png)

These two pins are internally directly connected to the differential output of a low power audio amplifier, for which the input is internally connected to the digital processing system by to an integrated digital-to-analog converter The analog audio output is selected when the parameter <main_downlink> in AT+USPM command is set to “Normal earpiece”, “Mono headset” or “Loudspeaker”: the downlink analog path profiles use the same physical output but have different sets of audio parameters (for more details please refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], AT+USPM, AT+USGC, AT+UDBF, AT+USTN commands). The differential analog audio output can be directly connected to a headset earpiece or handset earpiece but is not able to drive an 8 speaker.

Table 34: Analog audio interface pins The audio pins ESD sensitivity rating is 1 kV (Human Body Model according to JESD22-A114F). Higher protection level could be required if the lines are externally accessible on the application board. Higher protection level can be achieved by mounting an ESD protection (e.g. EPCOS CA05P4S14THSG varistor array) on the lines connected to these pins, close to accessible points. All corresponding differential audio lines must be routed in pairs, be embedded in GND (have the ground lines as close as possible to the audio lines), and maintain distance from noisy lines such as VCC and from components such as switching regulators. If the audio pins are not used, they can be left unconnected on the application board. 1.11.1.3 Headset mode Headset mode is the default audio operating mode of the LISA-U120 and LISA-U130 modules. The headset profile is configured when the uplink audio path is set to “Headset microphone” and the downlink audio path is set to “Mono headset” (refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]: AT+USPM command: <main_uplink>, <main_downlink> parameters): Headset microphone must be connected to the module differential input MIC_P / MIC_N Headset receiver must be connected to the module differential output SPK_P / SPK_N](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-75.png)

Audio devices with a differential analog input / output are preferable, as they are more immune to external disturbances. If the external analog audio device is provided with a differential analog audio input, the SPK_P / SPK_N balanced output of the module must be connected to the differential input of the external audio device through a DC-block 10 µF series capacitor (e.g. Murata GRM188R60J106M) to decouple the bias present at the module output (see SPK_P / SPK_N common mode output voltage in the LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1]). Use a suitable power-on sequence to avoid audio bump due to charging of the capacitor: the final audio stage should be always enabled as last one. If the external analog audio device is provided with a single ended analog audio input, a proper differential to single ended circuit must be inserted from the SPK_P / SPK_N balanced output of the module to the single ended input of the external audio device. A simple application circuit is described in Figure 45: 10 µF series capacitors (e.g. Murata GRM188R60J106M) are provided to decouple the bias present at the module output, and a voltage divider is provided to properly adapt the signal level from the module output to the external audio device input. The DC-block series capacitor acts as high-pass filter for audio signals, with cut-off frequency depending on both the values of capacitor and on the input impedance of the external audio device. For example: in case of differential input impedance of 600 , the two 10 µF capacitors will set the -3 dB cut-off frequency to 53 Hz, while for single ended connection to 600 external device, the cut-off frequency with just the single 10 µF capacitor will be 103 Hz. In both cases the high-pass filter has a low enough cut-off to not impact the audio signal frequency response. The signal levels can be adapted by setting gain using AT commands, but additional circuitry must be inserted if the SPK_P / SPK_N output level of the module is too high for the input of the audio device. If the external analog audio device is provided with a differential analog audio output, the MIC_P / MIC_N balanced input of the module must be connected directly to the differential output of the external audio device. Series capacitors are not needed since MIC_P / MIC_N pins are provided with internal 100 nF capacitors for DC blocking (see LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1]). If the external analog audio device is provided with a single ended analog audio output, a proper single ended to differential circuit has to be inserted from the single ended output of the external audio device to the MIC_P / MIC_N balanced input of the module. A simple application circuit is described in Figure 45: a voltage divider is provided to properly adapt the signal level from the external audio device output to the module input. The signal levels can be adapted by setting gain using AT commands, but additional circuitry must be inserted if the output level of the audio device is too high for MIC_P / MIC_N. Please refer to Figure 45 for the application circuits. To enable the audio path corresponding to the differential analog audio input / output, please refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]: AT+USPM command. To tune audio levels for the external device please refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3] (AT+USGC, AT+UMGC commands).](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-79.png)

The following functions are available in the LISA-U series modules: GSM Tx burst indication: GPIO1 pin can be configured by AT+UGPIOC to indicate when a GSM Tx burst/slot occurs, setting the parameter <gpio_mode> of AT+UGPIOC command to 9. No GPIO pin is by default configured to provide the “GSM Tx burst indication” function. The pin configured to provide the “GSM Tx burst indication” function is set as o Output / High, since ~10 µs before the start of first Tx slot, until ~5 µs after the end of last Tx slot o Output / Low, otherwise The pin configured to provide the “GSM Tx burst indication” function can be connected on the application board to an input pin of an application processor to indicate when a GSM Tx burst/slot occurs.

The GPIO1, GPIO3, GPIO4 or GPIO5 pins can be configured to provide the “GPS supply enable” function, alternatively to the default GPIO2 pin, setting the parameter <gpio_mode> of AT+UGPIOC command to 3. The “GPS supply enable” mode can be provided only on one pin per time: it is not possible to simultaneously set the same mode on another pin. The pin configured to provide the “GPS supply enable” function is set as o Output / High, to switch on the u-blox GPS receiver, if the parameter <mode> of AT+UGPS command is set to 1 o Output / Low, to switch off the u-blox GPS receiver, if the parameter <mode> of AT+UGPS command is set to 0 (default setting) The pin configured to provide the “GPS supply enable” function must be connected to the active-high enable pin (or the active-low shutdown pin) of the voltage regulator that supplies the u-blox GPS receiver on the application board. LISA-U200-00 modules version don’t support “GPS supply enable” function. GPS data ready: Only the GPIO3 pin provides the “GPS data ready” function, to sense when a u-blox GPS receiver connected to the wireless module is ready to send data via the DDC (I2C) interface, setting the parameter <gpio_mode> of AT+UGPIOC command to 4. The pin configured to provide the “GPS data ready” function will be set as o Input, to sense the line status, waking up the wireless module from idle-mode when the u-blox GPS receiver is ready to send data via the DDC (I2C) interface; this is possible if the parameter <mode> of AT+UGPS command is set to 1 and the parameter <GPS_IO_configuration> of AT+UGPRF command is set to 16 o Tri-state with an internal active pull-down enabled, otherwise (default setting) The pin that provides the “GPS data ready” function must be connected to the data ready output of the u-blox GPS receiver (i.e. the pin TxD1 of the u-blox GPS receiver) on the application board.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-87.png)

DC supply must be capable of providing 2.5 A current pulses, providing a voltage at VCC pin above the minimum operating range limit and with a maximum 400 mV voltage drop from the nominal value. VCC supply should be clean, with very low ripple/noise: suggested passive filtering parts can be inserted. VCC voltage must ramp from 2.5 V to 3.2 V within 1 ms to allow a proper switch-on of the module. Connect only one DC supply to VCC: different DC supply systems are mutually exclusive. Do not leave PWR_ON floating: add a pull-up resistor to V_BCKP. Don’t apply loads which might exceed the limit for maximum available current from V_INT supply. Check that voltage level of any connected pin does not exceed the relative operating range. Capacitance and series resistance must be limited on each SIM signal to match the SIM specifications. Insert the suggested low capacitance ESD protection and passive filtering parts on each SIM signal. Check UART signals direction, since the signal names follow the ITU-T V.24 Recommendation [4]. Provide appropriate access to USB interface and/or to UART RxD, TxD lines and access to PWR_ON and/or RESET_N lines on the application board in order to flash/upgrade the module firmware. Provide appropriate access to USB interface and/or to UART RxD, TxD, CTS, RTS lines for debugging. Capacitance and series resistance must be limited on each line of the SPI / IPC interface. Add a proper pull-up resistor to a proper supply on each DDC (I2C) interface line, if the interface is used. Capacitance and series resistance must be limited on each line of the DDC interface. Use transistors with at least an integrated resistor in the base pin or otherwise put a 10 kΩ resistor on the board in series to the GPIO when those are used to drive LEDs. Connect the pin number 5 (RSVD) to ground. Insert the suggested passive filtering parts on each used analog audio line. Check the digital audio interface specifications to connect a proper device. Capacitance and series resistance must be limited on CODEC_CLK line and each I2S interface line. Provide proper precautions for ESD immunity as required on the application board. Any external signal connected to the UART interface, SPI/IPC interface, I2S interfaces and GPIOs must be tri-stated when the module is in power-down mode, when the external reset is forced low and during the module power-on sequence (at least for 1500 ms after the start-up event), to avoid latch-up of circuits and let a proper boot of the module. All unused pins can be left floating on the application board except the PWR_ON pin (must be connected to V_BCKP by a pull-up resistor) and the RSVD pin number 5 (must be connected to GND).](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-104.png)

The solder paste should have a total thickness of 150 µm. The paste mask outline needs to be considered when defining the minimal distance to the next component. The exact geometry, distances, stencil thicknesses and solder paste volumes must be adapted to the specific production processes (e.g. soldering etc.) of the customer. The bottom layer of LISA-U1 series modules has one unprotected copper area for GND, shown in Figure 61. The bottom layer of LISA-U2 series modules has two unprotected copper areas for GND, shown in Figure 62. Consider “No-routing” areas for the LISA-U series modules footprint as follows: signal keep-out area on the top layer of the application board, below LISA-U series modules, due to GND opening on module bottom layer (see Figure 61 and Figure 62).](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-116.png)

Make sure that RF and analog circuits are clearly separated from any other digital circuits on the system board. Provide enough clearance between the module and any external part due to solder and paste masks design. Milled edges that are present at module PCB corners, away from module pins metallization, can slightly increase module dimensions from the width and the height described in the mechanical specifications sections of LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]: provide enough clearance between module PCB corners and any other external part mounted on the application board. The heat dissipation during continuous transmission at maximum power can significantly raise the temperature of the application base-board below the LISA-U series modules: avoid placing temperature sensitive devices (e.g. GPS receiver) close to the module.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-118.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information Design-In Page 119 of 160 2.3 Thermal aspects The operating temperature range is specified in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2]. The most critical condition concerning thermal performance is the uplink transmission at maximum power (data upload or voice call in connected mode), when the baseband processor runs at full speed, radio circuits are all active and the RF power amplifier is driven to higher output RF power. This scenario is not often encountered in real networks; however the application should be correctly designed to cope with it. During transmission at maximum RF power the LISA-U series modules generate thermal power that can exceed 2 W: this is an indicative value since the exact generated power strictly depends on operating condition such as the number of allocated TX slot and modulation (GMSK or 8PSK) or data rate (WCDMA), transmitting frequency band, etc. The generated thermal power must be adequately dissipated through the thermal and mechanical design of the application. The Module-to-Ambient thermal resistance (Rth,M-A) of LISA-U series modules mounted on a 90 mm x 70 mm x 1.46 mm 4-Layers PCB with a high coverage of copper in still air conditions ranges between 9 and 12 °C/W. The spreading of Rth,M-A depends on the operating condition (e.g. 2G or 3G mode, transmit band): the overall temperature distribution is influenced by the configuration of the active components during the specific mode of operation and their different thermal resistance toward the case interface. With this setup, the increase of the module temperature5 referred to idle state initial condition6 is: around 7°C during a voice call at maximum power 19°C during GPRS data transfer with 4 TX slots 16°C during EDGE data transfer with 4 TX slots up to 25°C in UMTS connection at max TX power Case-to-Ambient thermal resistance value will be different for other mechanical deployments of the module, e.g. PCB with different size and characteristics, mechanical shells enclosure, or forced air flow. The increase of thermal dissipation, i.e. reducing the thermal resistance, will decrease the operating temperature for internal circuitry of LISA-U series modules for a given operating ambient temperature. This improves the device long-term reliability for applications operating at high ambient temperature. A few techniques may be used to reduce the thermal resistance in the application: Forced ventilation air-flow within mechanical enclosure Heat sink attached to the module top side, with electrically insulated / high thermal conductivity adhesive, or on the backside of the application board, below the wireless module Connect each GND pin with solid ground layer of the application board and connect each ground area of the multilayer application board with complete via stack down to main ground layer For example, after the installation of a robust aluminum heat-sink with forced air ventilation on the back of the same application board described above, the Module-to-Ambient thermal resistance is reduced to 1.5 ÷ 3.5 °C/W. The effect of lower Rth,M-A can be seen from the module temperature which now becomes: around 1.5°C above the ambient temperature during a voice call at maximum power 3°C during GPRS data transfer with 4 TX slots 2.5°C during EDGE data transfer with 4 TX slots 5.5°C in UMTS connection at max TX power 5 Temperature is measured by internal sensor of wireless module 6 Steady state thermal equilibrium is assumed. The module’s temperature in idle state can be considered equal to ambient temperature](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-119.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information Design-In Page 120 of 160 2.4 Antenna guidelines Antenna characteristics are essential for good functionality of the module. Antenna radiating performance has direct impact on the reliability of connections over the Air Interface. A bad termination of the ANT pin (main RF input/output) and the ANT_DIV pin (RF input for diversity receiver provided by LISA-U230 modules) can result in poor performance of the module. The following parameters should be checked: Item Recommendations Impedance 50 Ω nominal characteristic impedance Frequency Range Depends on the LISA-U series module HW version and on the Mobile Network used. LISA-U100, LISA-U120: 824..960 MHz (GSM 850, GSM 900, UMTS B5) 1710..1990 MHz (GSM 1800, GSM 1900, UMTS B2) LISA-U110, LISA-U130: 824..960 MHz (GSM 850, GSM 900, UMTS B8) 1710..2170 MHz (GSM 1800, GSM 1900, UMTS B1) LISA-U200-00: 824..960 MHz (GSM 850, GSM 900, UMTS B5, UMTS B6) 1710..2170 MHz (GSM 1800, GSM 1900, UMTS B1, UMTS B2) LISA-U200-01, LISA-U230-01: 824..960 MHz (GSM 850, GSM 900, UMTS B5, UMTS B6, UMTS B8) 1710..2170 MHz (GSM 1800, GSM 1900, UMTS B1, UMTS B2, UMTS B4) Input Power >2 W peak V.S.W.R <2:1 recommended, <3:1 acceptable Return Loss S11<-10 dB recommended, S11<-6 dB acceptable Table 45: General recommendation for GSM antenna The antenna gain shall remain below the levels reported in the chapter 1.15.3.2 to preserve the original u-blox FCC ID. Please note that some 2G and 3G bands are overlapping. This depends on worldwide band allocation for telephony services, where different bands are deployed for different geographical regions. If the LISA-U110, LISA-U130 or LISA-U2 series modules are planned for use on the entire supported bands, then an antenna that supports the 824..960 MHz and the 1710..2170 MHz frequency range should be selected. If the LISA-U100 or LISA-U120 modules are planned for use with the entire range of supported bands, then an antenna that supports the 824..960 MHz and the 1710..1990 MHz frequency range should be selected. Otherwise, for fixed applications in specific geographical region, antenna requirements can be relaxed for non-deployed frequency bands. Refer to the operating RF frequency bands table in LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1] and LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2] for the detailed uplink and downlink frequency ranges of each supported band. LISA-U230 modules provide 2G and 3G dynamic receive diversity (Rx diversity) capability to improve the quality and reliability of the wireless link. This feature can be optionally used connecting a second antenna to the ANT_DIV pin, to receive an RF input signal that is processed by the module to increase the performance. All the antenna guidelines and recommendations reported are applicable also to the Rx diversity antenna design, even if the antenna for the Rx diversity is not used to transmit. GSM antennas are typically available as: Linear monopole: typical for fixed applications. The antenna extends mostly as a linear element with a dimension comparable to lambda/4 of the lowest frequency of the operating band. Magnetic base may be available. Cable or direct RF connectors are common options. The integration normally requires the fulfillment of some minimum guidelines suggested by antenna manufacturer Patch-like antenna: better suited for integration in compact designs (e.g. mobile phone). These are mostly custom designs where the exact definition of the PCB and product mechanical design is fundamental for tuning of antenna characteristics](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-120.png)

The same procedure should be repeated on other bands with half wavelength dipole re-tuned to the band under investigation. For good antenna radiation performance, antenna dimensions should be comparable to a quarter of the wavelength. Different antenna types can be used for the module, many of them (e.g. patch antennas, monopole) are based on a resonating element that works in combination with a ground plane. The ground plane, ideally infinite, can be reduced down to a minimum size that must be similar to one quarter of the wavelength of the minimum frequency that has to be radiated (transmitted/received). Numerical sample: frequency = 1 GHz wavelength = 30 cm minimum ground plane (or antenna size) = 7.5 cm. Below this size, the antenna efficiency is reduced. 2.4.3 Antenna detection functionality The internal antenna detect circuit is based on ADC measurement at ANT: the RF port is DC coupled to the ADC unit in the baseband chip which injects a DC current (10 µA for 128 µs) on ANT and measures the resulting DC voltage to evaluate the resistance from ANT pad to GND. The antenna detection is forced by the +UANTR AT command: refer to the u-blox AT Commands Manual [3] for more details on how to access this feature. To achieve antenna detection functionality, use an RF antenna with built-in resistor from ANT signal to GND, or implement an equivalent solution with a circuit between the antenna cable connection and the radiating element as shown in Figure 67.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-123.png)

The ESD immunity test is performed at the enclosure port, defined by ETSI EN 301 489-1 [12] as the physical boundary through which the electromagnetic field radiates. If the device implements an integral antenna, the enclosure port is seen as all insulating and conductive surfaces housing the device. If the device implements a removable antenna, the antenna port can be separated from the enclosure port. The antenna port includes the antenna element and its interconnecting cable surfaces. The applicability of ESD immunity test to the whole device depends on the device classification as defined by ETSI EN 301 489-1 [12]. Applicability of ESD immunity test to the relative device ports or the relative interconnecting cables to auxiliary equipments, depends on device accessible interfaces and manufacturer requirements, as defined by ETSI EN 301 489-1 [12]. Contact discharges are performed at conductive surfaces, while air discharges are performed at insulating surfaces. Indirect contact discharges are performed on the measurement setup horizontal and vertical coupling planes as defined in CENELEC EN 61000-4-2 [11]. For the definition of integral antenna, removable antenna, antenna port, device classification refer to ETSI EN 301 489-1 [12]. The contact and air discharges are defined in CENELEC EN 61000-4-2 [11].

The EMC approved reference design consists of a LISA-U1 series or a LISA-U200-00 module soldered on a motherboard which provides an interface to power supply, SIM card, headset and communication port. An external antenna is connected to an SMA connector provided on the motherboard. Since an external antenna is used, the antenna port can be separated from the enclosure port. The reference design is not enclosed in a box so the enclosure port is not indentified with physical surfaces. Therefore, some test cases cannot be applied. Only the antenna port is identified as accessible for direct ESD exposure. The reference application implements all precautions described in the section 2.5.3. ESD immunity test results and applicability are reported in Table 48 according to test requirements CENELEC EN 61000-4-2 [11], ETSI EN 301 489-1 [12], ETSI EN 301 489-7 [13] and ETSI EN 301 489-24 [14].](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-126.png)

These are defined in CENELEC EN 61000-4-2 [11], ETSI EN 301 489-1 [12] and ETSI EN 301 489-7 [13], and performed at the device enclosure in compliance to the category level defined in ETSI EN 301 489-1 [12]. The test requirements are summarized in Table 47. Antenna interface With LISA-U1 series modules, the ANT pin provides ESD immunity up to 500 V (contact and air discharge according to IEC 61000-4-2): higher protection level is required if the line is externally accessible on the device (i.e. the application board where LISA-U1 series module is mounted).

Higher protection level could be required if SIM interface pins are externally accessible on the application board. The following precautions are suggested to achieve higher protection level: A low capacitance (i.e. less than 10 pF) ESD protection device (e.g. Infineon ESD8V0L2B-03L or AVX USB0002) should be mounted on each SIM interface line, close to accessible points (i.e. close to the SIM card holder) For the SIM interface application circuit description refer to Figure 21 and Table 21 reported in section 1.8. Other pins and interfaces All the module pins that are externally accessible on the device (i.e. the application board where LISA-U series module is mounted) should be included in the ESD immunity test since they are considered to be a port as defined in ETSI EN 301 489-1 [12]. Depending on applicability, to satisfy ESD immunity test requirements according to ESD category level, all the module pins that are externally accessible should be protected up to +4 kV / -4 kV for direct Contact Discharge and up to +8 kV / -8 kV for Air Discharge applied to the enclosure surface. The maximum ESD sensitivity rating of all the other pins of the module is 1 kV (Human Body Model according to JESD22-A114F). Higher protection level could be required if the relative pin is externally accessible on the application board.

AT Command AT+UFWUPD triggers a reboot followed by the upgrade procedure at specified a baud rate (refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3] for more details) The Xmodem-1k protocol is used for downloading the new Firmware image via a terminal application A special boot loader on the module performs firmware installation, security verifications and module reboot Firmware authenticity verification is performed via a security signature during the download. The firmware is then installed, overwriting the current version. In case of power loss during this phase, the boot loader detects a fault at the next wake-up, and restarts the firmware download from the Xmodem-1k handshake. After completing the upgrade, the module is reset again and wakes-up in normal boot 3.1.2 FOAT procedure The application processor must proceed in the following way: Send the AT+UFWUPD command through the UART or over the USB interface, specifying the file type and the desired baud rate Reconfigure the serial communication at the selected baud rate, without flow control with the Xmodem-1k protocol Send the new FW image via Xmodem-1k 3.2 TCP/IP and UDP/IP Via the AT commands it’s possible to access the TCP/IP and UDP/IP functionalities over the Packet Switched data connection. For more details about AT commands see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]. Direct Link mode for TCP and UDP sockets is supported by all LISA-U series modules except LISA-U1xx-00 versions. Sockets can be set in Direct Link mode to establish a transparent end-to-end communication with an already connected TCP or UDP socket via serial interface. 3.2.1 Multiple PDP contexts and sockets Two PDP context types are defined: “external” PDP context: IP packets are built by the DTE, the MT’s IP instance runs the IP relay function only “internal” PDP context: the PDP context (relying on the MT’s TCP/IP stack) is configured, established and handled via the data connection management packet switched data commands described in u-blox AT commands manual [3] Multiple PDP contexts are supported. The DTE can access these PDP contexts either alternatively through the physical serial port, or simultaneously through the virtual serial ports of the multiplexer (multiplexing mode MUX), with the following constraints: Using the MT’s embedded TCP/IP stack, only 1 internal PDP context is supported. This IP instance supports up to 7 sockets](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-131.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information Features description Page 132 of 160 Using only external PDP contexts, it is possible to have at most 3 IP instances (with 3 different IP addresses) simultaneously. If in addition the internal PDP context is used, at most 2 external PDP contexts can be activated Secondary PDP contexts (PDP contexts sharing the IP address of a primary PDP context) are also supported. Traffic Flow Filters for such secondary contexts shall be specified according to 3GPP TS 23.060 [20]. At most 2 secondary PDP contexts can be activated, since the maximum number of PDP contexts, both normal and secondary, is always 3. 3.3 FTP and FTPS Not supported by LISA-U1xx-00 modules. LISA-U series modules support the File Transfer Protocol and Secure File Transfer Protocol functionalities via AT commands. Files are read and stored in the local file system of the module. For more details about AT commands see u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]. 3.4 HTTP and HTTPS Not supported by LISA-U1xx-00 modules. HTTP and HTTPS clients are implemented in LISA-U series modules. HEAD, GET, POST, DELETE and PUT operations are available. The file size to be uploaded / downloaded depends on the free space available in the local file system (FFS) at the moment of the operation. Up to 4 client contexts can be simultaneously used. For more details about AT commands see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]. 3.5 AssistNow clients and GPS integration Not supported by LISA-U200-00 modules. For customers using u-blox GPS receivers, LISA-U series wireless modules feature embedded AssistNow clients. AssistNow A-GPS provides better GPS performance and faster Time-To-First-Fix. The clients can be enabled and disabled with an AT command (see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]). LISA-U series modules act as a stand-alone AssistNow client, making AssistNow available with no additional requirements for resources or software integration on an external host micro controller. Full access to u-blox GPS receivers is available via the LISA-U series, through a dedicated DDC (I2C) interface, while the available GPIOs can handle the GPS device power-on/off. This means that GSM/WCDMA and GPS can be controlled through a single serial port from any host processor. 3.6 Jamming Detection Not supported by LISA-U1xx-00 modules. In real network situations modules can experience various kind of out-of-coverage conditions: limited service conditions when roaming to networks not supporting the specific SIM, limited service in cells which are not suitable or barred due to operators’ choices, no cell condition when moving to poorly served or highly interfered areas. In the latter case, interference can be artificially injected in the environment by a noise generator covering a given spectrum, thus obscuring the operator’s carriers entitled to give access to the GSM/UMTS service.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-132.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information Features description Page 133 of 160 The Jamming Detection Feature detects such “artificial” interference and reports the start and stop of such conditions to the client, which can react appropriately by e.g. switching off the radio transceiver in order to reduce power consumption and monitoring the environment at constant periods. The feature consists of detecting, at radio resource level, an anomalous source of interference and signaling it to the client with an unsolicited indication when the detection is entered or released. The jamming condition occurs when: The module has lost synchronization with the serving cell and cannot select any other cell The band scan reveals at least n carriers with power level equal or higher than threshold On all such carriers, no synchronization is possible The number of minimum disturbing carriers and the power level threshold can be configured by the client by using the AT+UCD command [3]. The jamming condition is cleared when any of the above mentioned statements does not hold. The congestion (i.e. jamming) detection feature can be enabled and configured by the +UCD AT command (for more details refer to the u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]). 3.7 In-Band modem Not supported by LISA-U100, LISA-U110, LISA-U120, LISA-U130-00, LISA-U200-00 modules versions. LISA-U series modules implements the in-Band modem solution for eCall according to the 3GPP TS 26.267 specification [15]. According to the eCall (Pan-European automatic in-vehicle emergency call system) specification, an eCall must be generated automatically or manually following an car accident using GSM cellular service “112”. When activated, the in-vehicle eCall system (IVS) creates an emergency call carrying both voice and data (e.g. vehicle GPS position) directly to the nearest 112 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) to quickly decide upon detaching rescue services to the known position. Figure 69: In-Band modem diagram flow In-Band modem allows the fast and reliable transmission of vehicle Minimum Set of Data (MSD - 140 bytes) and the establishment of a voice emergency call using the same physical channel (voice channel) without any modifications of the existing cellular network architecture. In-Band modem is a mandatory feature to meet the eCall requirements and to develop in vehicle devices fully supporting eCall. 3.8 Smart Temperature Management Wireless modules – independent of the specific model –always have a well defined operating temperature range. This range should be respected to guarantee full device functionality and long life span.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-133.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information Features description Page 134 of 160 Nevertheless there are environmental conditions that can affect operating temperature, e.g. if the device is located near a heating/cooling source, if there is/isn’t air circulating, etc. The module itself can also influence the environmental conditions; such as when it is transmitting at full power. In this case its temperature increases very quickly and can raise the temperature nearby. The best solution is always to properly design the system where the module is integrated. Nevertheless an extra check/security mechanism embedded into the module is a good solution to prevent operation of the device outside of the specified range. 3.8.1 Smart Temperature Supervisor (STS) The Smart Temperature Supervisor is activated and configured by a dedicated AT+USTS command. Please refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3] for more details. The wireless module measures the internal temperature (Ti) and its value is compared with predefined thresholds to identify the actual working temperature range. Temperature measurement is done inside the wireless module: the measured value could be different from the environmental temperature (Ta). Warningareat-1 t+1 t+2t-2Valid temperature rangeSafeareaDangerousarea Dangerousarea Warningarea Figure 70: Temperature range and limits The entire temperature range is divided into sub-regions by limits (see Figure 70) named t-2, t-1, t+1 and t+2. Within the first limit, (t-1 < Ti < t+1), the wireless module is in the normal working range, the Safe Area In the Warning Area, (t-2 < Ti < t.1) or (t+1 < Ti < t+2), the wireless module is still inside the valid temperature range, but the measured temperature approaches the limit (upper or lower). The module sends a warning to the user (through the active AT communication interface), which can take, if possible, the necessary actions to return to a safer temperature range or simply ignore the indication. The module is still in a valid and good working condition Outside the valid temperature range, (Ti < t-2) or (Ti > t+2), the device is working outside the specified range and represents a dangerous working condition. This condition is indicated and the device shuts down to avoid damage For security reasons the shutdown is suspended in case an emergency call in progress. In this case the device will switch off at call termination. The user can decide at anytime to enable/disable the Smart Temperature Supervisor feature. If the feature is disabled there is no embedded protection against disallowed temperature conditions. Figure 71 shows the flow diagram implemented in LISA-U series modules for the Smart Temperature Supervisor.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-134.png)

The visibility of multiple cells provides increased accuracy based on the intersection of areas of visibility. CellLocate is implemented using a set of two AT commands that allow configuration of the CellLocate service (AT+ULOCCELL) and requesting position according to the user configuration (AT+ULOC). The answer is provided in the form of an unsolicited AT command including latitude, longitude and estimated accuracy. The accuracy of the position estimated by CellLocate depends on the availability of historical observations in the specific area. 3.9.2 Hybrid positioning With u-blox Hybrid positioning technology, u-blox wireless devices can be triggered to provide their current position using either a u-blox GPS receiver or the position estimated from CellLocate. The choice depends on which positioning method provides the best and fastest solution according to the user configuration, exploiting the benefit of having multiple and complementary positioning methods. Hybrid positioning is implemented through a set of three AT commands that allow configuration of the GNSS receiver (AT+ULOCGNSS), configuration of the CellLocate service (AT+ULOCCELL), and requesting the position according to the user configuration (AT+ULOC). The answer is provided in the form of an unsolicited AT command including latitude, longitude and estimated accuracy (if the position has been estimated by CellLocate), and additional parameters if the position has been computed by the GNSS receiver. The configuration of mobile network cells does not remain static (e.g. new cells are continuously added or existing cells are reconfigured by the network operators). For this reason, when a Hybrid positioning method has been triggered and the GNSS receiver calculates the position, a database self-learning mechanism has been implemented so that these positions are sent to the server to update the database and maintain its accuracy. The use of hybrid positioning requires a connection via the DDC (I2C) bus between the LISA-U series wireless module and the u-blox GPS receiver (Refer to chapter 1.10). Refer to GPS Implementation Application Note [17] for the complete description of the feature. 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.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-138.png)
![LISA-U series - System Integration Manual 3G.G2-HW-10002-A1 Advance Information Handling and soldering Page 139 of 160 4 Handling and soldering No natural rubbers, no hygroscopic materials or materials containing asbestos are employed. 4.1 Packaging, shipping, storage and moisture preconditioning For information pertaining to reels and tapes, Moisture Sensitivity levels (MSD), shipment and storage information, as well as drying for preconditioning see the LISA-U1 series Data Sheet [1], the LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [2] and u-blox Package Information Guide [22]. The LISA-U series modules are Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. Ensure ESD precautions are implemented during handling of the module. 4.2 Soldering 4.2.1 Soldering paste Use of "No Clean" soldering paste is strongly recommended, as it does not require cleaning after the soldering process has taken place. The paste listed in the example below meets these criteria. Soldering Paste: OM338 SAC405 / Nr.143714 (Cookson Electronics) Alloy specification: 95.5% Sn / 3.9% Ag / 0.6% Cu (95.5% Tin / 3.9% Silver / 0.6% Copper) 95.5% Sn / 4.0% Ag / 0.5% Cu (95.5% Tin / 4.0% Silver / 0.5% Copper) Melting Temperature: 217°C Stencil Thickness: 150 µm for base boards The final choice of the soldering paste depends on the approved manufacturing procedures. The paste-mask geometry for applying soldering paste should meet the recommendations in section 2.2.2 The quality of the solder joints on the connectors (’half vias’) should meet the appropriate IPC specification. 4.2.2 Reflow soldering A convection type-soldering oven is strongly recommended over the infrared type radiation oven. Convection heated ovens allow precise control of the temperature and all parts will be heated up evenly, regardless of material properties, thickness of components and surface color. Consider the "IPC-7530 Guidelines for temperature profiling for mass soldering (reflow and wave) processes, published 2001". Reflow profiles are to be selected according to the following recommendations. Failure to observe these recommendations can result in severe damage to the device! Preheat phase Initial heating of component leads and balls. Residual humidity will be dried out. Please note that this preheat phase will not replace prior baking procedures. Temperature rise rate: max 3°C/s If the temperature rise is too rapid in the preheat phase it may cause excessive slumping.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-139.png)

Conversely, if performed excessively, fine balls and large balls will be generated in clusters. End Temperature: 150 - 200°C If the temperature is too low, non-melting tends to be caused in areas containing large heat capacity. Heating/ reflow phase The temperature rises above the liquidus temperature of 217°C. Avoid a sudden rise in temperature as the slump of the paste could become worse. Limit time above 217°C liquidus temperature: 40 - 60 s Peak reflow temperature: 245°C Cooling phase A controlled cooling avoids negative metallurgical effects (solder becomes more brittle) of the solder and possible mechanical tensions in the products. Controlled cooling helps to achieve bright solder fillets with a good shape and low contact angle. Temperature fall rate: max 4°C / s To avoid falling off, modules should be placed on the topside of the motherboard during soldering. The soldering temperature profile chosen at the factory depends on additional external factors like choice of soldering paste, size, thickness and properties of the base board, etc. Exceeding the maximum soldering temperature and the maximum liquidus time limit in the recommended soldering profile may permanently damage the module.

For example, the measurement of module current consumption when set in a specified status can detect a short circuit if compared with a “Golden Device” result. Module AT commands are used to perform functional tests (communication with host controller, check SIM card interface, check communication between module and GPS, GPIOs, etc.) and to perform RF performance tests. 5.2.1 ‘Go/No go’ tests for integrated devices A ‘Go/No go’ test is to compare the signal quality with a “Golden Device” in a position with excellent 2G/3G network coverage and after having dialed a call (refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], AT+CSQ command: <rssi>, <ber> parameters). These kinds of test may be useful as a ‘go/no go’ test but not for RF performance measurements. This test is suitable to check the communication with host controller and SIM card, the audio and power supply functionality and verify if components at antenna interface are well soldered. 5.2.2 Functional tests providing RF operation Overall RF performance test of the device including antenna can be performed with basic instruments such as a standard spectrum analyzer and signal generator using an AT interface and AT+UTEST command. The AT+UTEST command gives a simple interface to set the module to Rx and Tx test modes ignoring 2G/3G signaling protocol. The command can set the module: In transmitting mode in a specified channel and power level in all supported modulation schemes (single slot GMSK, single slot 8PSK, WCDMA) and bands 2G, 3G In receiving mode in a specified channel to returns the measured power level in all supported bands 2G, 3G The AT+UTEST command used to perform these functional tests is available on all LISA-U series modules versions except LISA-U1xx-00. Refer to u-blox AT Commands Manual [3], for AT+UTEST command syntax description. Refer to End user test Application Note [21], for AT+UTEST command user guide, limitations and examples of use.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-144.png)

These include: o Analog Audio Interfaces are not supported by all LISA-U2 series modules o Digital Audio Interfaces are supported by all LISA-U2 series modules versions except LISA-U200-00 o Embedded AssistNow Software, GPS via Modem, Hybrid positioning and CellLocate functionalities are supported by all LISA-U2 series modules versions except LISA-U200-00 o In-band modem is supported by all LISA-U2 series modules versions except LISA-U200-00 Check section A.2 Software migration. A.2 Software migration A.2.1 Software migration from LISA-U1 series to LISA-U2 series wireless modules Software migration from LISA-U1 series to LISA-U2 series wireless modules is a straightforward procedure. Nevertheless there are some differences to be considered with firmware version. Like predecessors, LISA-U2 series wireless module supports AT commands according to 3GPP standards: TS 27.007 [5], TS 27.005 [6], TS 27.010 [7] and the u-blox AT command extension. Backward compatibility has been maintained as far as possible. For the complete list of supported AT commands and their syntax see u-blox AT Commands Manual [3]. A.3 Hardware migration A.3.1 Hardware migration from LISA-U1 series to LISA-U2 series wireless modules LISA-U2 series wireless modules have been designed with backward compatibility in mind but some minor differences were unavoidable. These minor differences will however not be relevant for the majority of the LISA-U1 series designs. Clean and stable supply is required by LISA-U2 as by LISA-U1 series: low ripple and low voltage drop must be guaranteed at VCC pins. The voltage provided has to be within the normal operating range limits to allow module switch-on and has to be above the minimum limit of the extended operating range to avoid module switch-off. Consider that there are large current spikes in connected mode, when a GSM call is enabled. LISA-U2 series provide wider VCC input voltage range compared to LISA-U1 series. The ANT pin has 50 Ω nominal characteristic impedance and must be connected to the antenna through a 50 Ω transmission line to allow transmission and reception of radio frequency (RF) signals in the 2G and 3G operating bands. The recommendations of the antenna producer for correct installation and deployment (PCB layout and matching circuitry) must be followed. The antenna and the whole RF circuit must provide optimal radiating characteristics on the entire supported bands: note that LISA-U2 supports different 3G bands in comparison to LISA-U1 series wireless modules. LISA-U230 modules provide the RF antenna input for Rx diversity on the pin 74 (named ANT_DIV): it has an impedance of 50 Ω. The same pad is a reserved pin on LISA-U1 series and LISA-U200 modules. Analog audio interfaces are not supported by LISA-U2 series modules, but a second 4-wire I2S digital audio interface is provided instead of the 4 analog audio pins on all LISA-U2 series modules versions except LISA-U200-00. The same 4 pins can be configured as GPIO on all LISA-U2 series modules versions.](https://usermanual.wiki/u-blox/LISAU200.08-integrators-manual/User-Guide-1630540-Page-148.png)

PWR_ON and RESET_N input voltage thresholds are slightly changed in comparison to LISA-U1 series modules, but this is not relevant driving PWR_ON and RESET_N inputs by open drain / collector drivers as recommended. LISA-U2 series modules can be switched off forcing PWR_ON pin to the low level for at least 1 s. V_BCKP operating characteristics are slightly changed in comparison to LISA-U1 series modules. The 5 pins of the SPI / IPC Serial Interface can be configured as GPIOs on LISA-U2 series modules. LISA-U2 series wireless modules are SMT modules and come in the same compact form factor of LISA-U1 series, featuring Leadless Chip Carrier (LCC) packaging technology. Additional signals keep-out area must be implemented on the top layer of the application board, below LISA-U2 modules, due to GND opening on module bottom layer.
