cation. The SMT application interface incorporates the various application interfaces as well as the RF antenna interfaces. 2.1 Application Interface 2.1.1 Serial Interface ASC0 EMS31-US offers an 8-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC0 conforming to ITU-T V.28 protocol DCE signaling. The electrical characteristics do not comply with ITU-T V.28. The significant levels are 0V (for low data bit or active state) and 1.8V (for high data bit or inactive state). EMS31-US is designed for use as a DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE connections it communicates with the customer application (DTE) using the following signals:

Port TXD @ application sends data to the modules TXD0 signal line Port RXD @ application receives data from the modules RXD0 signal line Figure 2: Serial interface ASC0 Features:

Includes the data lines TXD0 and RXD0, the status lines RTS0 and CTS0 and, in addition, the modem control lines DTR0, DSR0, DCD0 and RING0. Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1,200bps up to 3,686,400bps. Autobauding (supported by future firmware version) Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control. Communication is possible by using only RXD and TXD lines, if RTS0 is pulled low. EMS31_US_HIO_v00.103 Confidential / Preliminary 2017-11-27 Cinterion EMS31-US Hardware Interface Overview 2.1 Application Interface 17 2.1.2 Serial Interface ASC1 Page 10 of 33 EMS31-US provides a 4-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC1 conforming to ITU-T V.24 protocol DCE signaling. The electrical characteristics do not comply with ITU-T V.28. The significant levels are 0V (for low data bit or active state) and 1.8V (for high data bit or inactive state). EMS31-US is designed for use as a DCE. Based on the conventions for DCE-DTE connections it communicates with the customer application (DTE) using the following signals:

Port TXD @ application sends data to modules TXD1 signal line Port RXD @ application receives data from the modules RXD1 signal line Module (DCE) Application (DCE) TXD1 RXD1 RTS1 CTS1 TXD RXD RTS CTS Figure 3: Serial interface ASC1 Features Includes only the data lines TXD1 and RXD1 plus RTS1 and CTS1 for hardware hand-

shake. On ASC1 no RING line is available. Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 or 2 stop bits. ASC1 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 1,200 bps to 3,686,400bps. Supports RTS1/CTS1 hardware flow control. Communication is possible by using only RXD and TXD lines, if RTS1 is pulled low. EMS31_US_HIO_v00.103 Confidential / Preliminary 2017-11-27 Cinterion EMS31-US Hardware Interface Overview 2.1 Application Interface 17 2.1.3 UICC/SIM/USIM Interface Page 11 of 33 EMS31-US has two identical integrated UICC/SIM/USIM interfaces compatible with the 3GPP 31.102 and ETSI 102 221. These two interfaces are mutually exclusive, meaning that only one UICC/SIM/USIM interface can be used at a time. This interface is wired to the host interface in order to be connected to an external SIM card holder. Five pads on the SMT application inter-

face are reserved for each SIM interface. The UICC/SIM/USIM interface supports 3V and 1.8V SIM cards. The CCINx signal serves to detect whether a tray (with SIM card) is present in the card holder. The CCINx signal must be connected to V180 for the detection to work on the module. Other-

wise the SIM card can never be detected by the module. Using the CCINx signal is mandatory for compliance with the GSM 11.11 recommendation if the mechanical design of the host application allows the user to remove the SIM card during operation. To take advantage of this feature, an appropriate SIM card detect switch is required on the card holder. For example, this is true for the model supplied by Molex, which has been tested to operate with EMS31-US and is part of the Gemalto M2M reference equipment sub-

mitted for type approval. See Section 7.1 for Molex ordering numbers. Description Separate ground connection for SIM card to improve EMC. Table 1: Signals of the SIM interface (SMT application interface) Signal GND CCCLKx Chipcard clock CCVCCx SIM supply voltage. CCIOx CCRSTx Chipcard reset CCINx Serial data line, input and output. Input on the baseband processor for detecting a SIM card tray in the holder. If the SIM is removed during operation the SIM interface is shut down immediately to prevent destruc-

tion of the SIM. The CCINx signal is by default low and will change to high level if a SIM card is inserted. The CCINx signal is mandatory for applications that allow the user to remove the SIM card during operation. The CCINx signal is solely intended for use with a SIM card. It must not be used for any other purposes. Failure to comply with this requirement may invalidate the type approval of EMS31-US. Pull-down 220k resistor is mandatory. Note: No guarantee can be given, nor any liability accepted, if loss of data is encountered after removing the SIM card during operation. Also, no guarantee can be given for properly initializ-

ing any SIM card that the user inserts after having removed the SIM card during operation. In this case, the application must restart EMS31-US.

V180 CCIN CCVCC CCRST CCIO CCCLK Switch position (SIM inserted) Switch position (SIM not inserted) R 220k SIM 220nF 1nF Figure 4: External UICC/SIM/USIM card holder circuit The total cable length between the SMT application interface pads on EMS31-US and the pads of the external SIM card holder must not exceed 100mm in order to meet the specifications of 3GPP TS 51.010-1 and to satisfy the requirements of EMC compliance. To avoid possible cross-talk from the CCCLKx signal to the CCIOx signal be careful that both lines are not placed closely next to each other. A useful approach is using a GND line to shield the CCIOx line from the CCCLKx line. EMS31_US_HIO_v00.103 Confidential / Preliminary 2017-11-27 Cinterion EMS31-US Hardware Interface Overview 2.1 Application Interface 17 2.1.4 GPIO Interface Page 13 of 33 EMS31-US offers a GPIO interface with 20 GPIO lines. The lines are shared with other inter-

faces or functions: ASC0 (see Section 2.1.1), ASC1 (see Section 2.1.2), The following table shows the configuration variants for the GPIO pads. All variants are mutu-

ally exclusive, i.e. a pad configured for instance as ASC0 is locked for alternative usage. Table 2: GPIO lines and possible alternative assignment GPIO*

After startup, the above mentioned alternative GPIO line assignments can be configured using AT commands (see [1]). The configuration is non-volatile and available after module restart.

The LED line can also be configured as GPO5 line, and can be used to drive a status LED that indicates different operating modes of the module (for GPOs see Section 2.1.4). LED and GPIO5 functionality are mutually exclusive. 2.2 RF Antenna Interface The RF interface has an impedance of 50. EMS31-US is capable of sustaining a 10:1 voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) mismatch at the antenna line without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power. The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radi-

ated power, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Antenna matching networks are not included on the EMS31-US module and should be placed in the host application if the an-

tenna does not have an impedance of 50. Regarding the return loss EMS31-US provides the following values in the active band:

> 12dB

> 12dB EMS31_US_HIO_v00.103 Confidential / Preliminary 2017-11-27 Cinterion EMS31-US Hardware Interface Overview 2.2 RF Antenna Interface 17 2.2.1 Antenna Installation Page 15 of 33 The antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pad (RF_OUT, pad #59) its neighboring ground pads (GND, i.e., pads #58 and #60) directly to the application's PCB. The antenna pad is the antenna reference point (ARP) for EMS31-US. All RF data specified throughout this doc-

ument is related to the ARP. The distance between the antenna RF pads and its neighboring GND pads has been optimized for best possible impedance. On the application PCB, special attention should be paid to these 3 pads, in order to prevent mismatch. The wiring of the antenna connection line, starting from the antenna pad to the application an-

tenna should result in a 50 line impedance. Line width and distance to the GND plane needs to be optimized with regard to the PCBs layer stack. To prevent receiver desensitization due to interferences generated by fast transients like high speed clocks on the application PCB, it is recommended to realize the antenna connection line using embedded Stripline rather than Microstrip line technology. For type approval purposes an external application must connect the RF signal in one of the following ways:

Via 50 coaxial antenna connector (common connectors are U-FL or SMA) placed as close as possible to the module's antenna pad. By soldering the antenna to the antenna connection line on the applications PCB (without the use of any connector) as close as possible to the modules antenna pad. By routing the application PCB's antenna to the modules antenna pad in the shortest way. In case FCC certification of application using EMS31-US is required, the implementation of the connection between module's antenna pad and antenna has to be designed similar to the im-

plementation of this connection on evaluation board and according to KDB 996369 related to modular approval requirements. EMS31_US_HIO_v00.103 Confidential / Preliminary 2017-11-27 Cinterion EMS31-US Hardware Interface Overview 2.3 Sample Application 17 2.3 Sample Application Page 16 of 33 Figure 5 shows a typical example of how to integrate an EMS31-US module with an application. Usage of the various host interfaces depends on the desired features of the application. Because of the high RF field density inside the module, it cannot be guaranteed that no self interference might occur, depending on frequency and the applications grounding concept. The potential interferers may be minimized by placing small capacitors (47pF) at suspected lines

(e.g. RXD0, or ON). While developing SMT applications it is strongly recommended to provide test points for certain signals, i.e., lines to and from the module - for debug and/or test purposes. The SMT application should allow for an easy access to these signals. For details on how to implement test points see [3]. The EMC measures are best practice recommendations. In fact, an adequate EMC strategy for an individual application is very much determined by the overall layout and, especially, the po-

sition of components. Note: EMS31-US is not intended for use with cables longer than 3m. Disclaimer: No warranty, either stated or implied, is provided on the sample schematic diagram shown in Figure 5 and the information detailed in this section. As functionality and compliance with national regulations depend to a great amount on the used electronic components and the individual application layout manufacturers are required to ensure adequate design and oper-

ating safeguards for their products using EMS31-US module. EMS31_US_HIO_v00.103 Confidential / Preliminary 2017-11-27 Cinterion EMS31-US Hardware Interface Overview 2.3 Sample Application 17 Page 17 of 33 EMS31-US Antenna BATT+

Table 4: Overview of operating modes Mode Normal opera-

tion Function Active TX IDLE LTE data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on network settings, data transfer rate and radio conditions. No data transfer is in progress and no active communication via ASC0/

ASC1. No data transfer is in progress. The LTE part of the device can be in LTE DRX, LTE eDRX or LTE PSM mode. Activity on ASC0 /ASC1 inter-

faces can be present. Power consumption depends on the LTE power saving mode and its parameters and on the activity on the ASC inter-

faces. Sleep Power Down Airplane mode The module is in low power consumption state. There is no activity inside the module but module preserves the state in which it was before entering the sleep mode, including the electrical states of the GPIOs. The module will enter sleep state only when the LTE part of the module is in LTE DRX, LTE eDRX or LTE PSM mode or if it is in airplane mode. To allow sleep mode the host application shall indicate via RTS lines that it has no intention to send data. Normal shutdown after sending the power down command. Software is not active. Inter-

faces are not accessible. Operating voltage remains applied. Airplane mode shuts down the radio part of the module, causes the module to log off from the LTE network and disables all AT commands whose execution requires a radio connec-

tion. Airplane mode can be controlled by AT command (see [1]). Sleep mode can be entered when airplane mode is enabled. 3.2 Power Supply The power supply of EMS31-US has to be a single voltage source at BATT+. It must be able to provide the current for all operation modes of the module. All the key functions for supplying power to the device are handled by the power management section of the analog controller. This IC provides the following features:

Stabilizes the supply voltages for the baseband using low drop linear voltage regulators and a DC-DC step down switching regulator. Switches the module's power voltages for the power-up and -down procedures. SIM switch to provide SIM power supply.

This requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable EMS31-US based applications to be evaluated and approved for compliance with national and/or international regulations. Since the SAR value varies significantly with the individual product design manufacturers are advised to submit their product for approval if designed for portable use. For US markets the relevant directives are mentioned below. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the final product to verify whether or not further standards, recommendations or directives are in force outside these areas. Products intended for sale on US markets ES 59005/ANSI C95.1 Considerations for evaluation of human exposure to Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) from Mobile Telecommunication Equipment (MTE) in the frequency range 30MHz - 6GHz Please note that SAR requirements are specific only for portable devices and not for mobile devices as defined below:

Portable device:

Mobile device:

A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radi-

ating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user. A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons. In this context, the term ''fixed location'' means that the device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another location.

Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and oper-

ating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product. Gemalto M2M assumes no liability for customers failure to comply with these precautions. When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of mobiles. Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, if instructed to do so by the guide-

lines posted in sensitive areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy. The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hear-

ing aids can be affected by interference from cellular terminals or mobiles placed close to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufac-

turer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their hand-held mobile away from the pacemaker, while it is on. Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it can-

not be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both. Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any elec-

trical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard. Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off the cellular terminal or mobile wherever forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger. Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when driv-

ing a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a holder for speakerphone operation. Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle. Speakerphones must be installed by qualified personnel. Faulty installation or opera-

tion can constitute a safety hazard. IMPORTANT!

Cellular terminals or mobiles operate using radio signals and cellular networks. Because of this, connection cannot be guaranteed at all times under all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential com-

munications, for example emergency calls. Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength. Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call. Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular termi-

nal or mobile.
