According to the PCIe specification, the PCIe Vmain should be used as the +3.3V power source, not the Vaux. The Vaux is the PCIe backup power source and it is not sufficient as the power supply. In addition, the DC/DC power supply other than PCIe ports should not be used as the external power cannot control the module status through the PCIe protocol. DC Parameter (V) Value 3.135

Figure 3-13 Reference circuit for PCIe interface L850 module supports PCIe Gen1 interface, one lane. The PCIe interface including three differential pairs:
transmit pair TXP/N, receiving pair RXP/N and clock pair CLKP/N. PCIe can achieve the maximum transmission rate of 2.5 GT/s, and must strictly follow the rules below in The differential signal pair lines should be parallel and equal in length;
The differential signal pair lines should be short if possible and be controlled within 15 inch (380 mm) The impedance of differential signal pair lines is recommended to be 100, and can be controlled to 80~120 in accordance with PCIe protocol;
Try to avoid the discontinuous reference ground, such as segment and space;
When the differential signal lines go through different layers, the via hole of grounding signal should be in close to that of signal, and generally, each pair of signals require 1-3 grounding signal via holes and the lines should never cross the segment of plane;
Try to avoid bended lines and avoid introducing common-mode noise in the system, which will influence the signal integrity and EMI of difference pair. As shown in Figure 3-14, the bending angle of all lines should be equal or greater than 135, the spacing between difference pair lines should be larger than 20mil, and the line caused by bending should be greater than 1.5 times line width at least. When a serpentine line is used for length match with another line, the bended length of each segment Reproduction forbidden without Fibocom Wireless Inc. written authorization - All Rights Reserved. FIBOCOM L850-GL Series Hardware Guide Page 34 of 59 should be at least 3 times the line width ( 3W). The largest spacing between the bended part of the serpentine line and another one of the differential lines must be less than 2 times the spacing of normal differential lines (S1 < 2S);

When the length match is conducted for the differential lines, the designed position of correct match should be close to that of incorrect match, as shown in Figure 3-
15. However, there is no specific requirements for the length match of transmit pair and receiving pair, which means the length match is only required by intra differential pair rather than inter differential pair.

The SIM card hot-plug function can be configured by AT+MSMPD command, and the description for AT command is shown in the following table:
AT Command Hot-plug Detection Function Description AT+MSMPD=1 Enable enabled. Default value, the SIM card hot-plug detection function is The module can detect whether the SIM card is inserted or not through the SIM_DETECT pin state. The SIM card hot-plug detect function is disabled. AT+MSMPD=0 Disable The module reads the SIM card when starting up, and the SIM_DETECT status will not be detected. After the SIM card hot-plug detection function is enabled, the module detects that the SIM card is inserted when the SIM_DETECT pin is high, then executes the initialization program and finish the network registration after reading the SIM card information. When the SIM_DETECT pin is low, the module determines that the SIM card is detached and does not read the SIM card. SIM_DETECT is active high. It can be swapped to active low by AT CMD. Note:
3.5.4 USIM Design should be noted in design:
The SIM card circuit design should meet the EMC standards and ESD requirements with the improved capability to resist interference, to ensure that the SIM card can work stably. The following guidelines The SIM card slot should be placed as close as possible to the module, and away from the RF antenna, DC/DC power supply, clock signal lines, and other strong interference sources. The SIM card slot with a metal shielding housing can improve the anti-interference ability. The trace length between the SIM card slot and the module should not exceed 100mm, or it could reduce the signal quality. The UIM_CLK and UIM_DATA signal lines should be isolated by GND to avoid crosstalk interference.

W_DISABLE1# signal Function High/Floating WWAN function is enabled, the module exits the flight mode. Low WWAN function is disabled, the module enters into flight mode. The function of W_DISABLE1# is enabled by default. It can be disabled by customers request. Note 3.7.2 BODYSAR The L850 module supports BodySAR function by detecting the DPR pin. The voltage level of DPR is high by default, and when the SAR sensor detects the closing human body, the DPR signal will be pulled down. As the result, the module then lowers down its emission power to its default threshold value, thus reducing the RF radiation on the human body. The threshold of emission power can be set by the AT Commands. The definition of DPR signal is shown in the following table:
DPR signal Function High/Floating The module keeps the default emission power Low Lower the maximum emission power to the threshold value of the module. 3.8 Clock Interface The L850 module supports a clock interface.
