tion. 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-X 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-X 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 only by respecting hardware flow control. Otherwise, the module might disregard some data transmitted from host. In case of quitting CTS0 line, only one character can be sent from the host application to the module through TXD0 line. Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation. EMS31_US_HIO_v00.001 Confidential / Preliminary 2018-09-21 Cinterion EMS31-X Hardware Interface Description 2.1 Application Interface 18 2.1.2 Serial Interface ASC1 Page 10 of 33 EMS31-X 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-X 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. However, RING0 line can be software configured for URC signalization via ASC1 (see [1]). 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 only by respecting hardware flow control. Otherwise, the module might disregard some data transmitted from host. In case of quitting CTS1 line, only one character can be sent from the host application to the module through TXD1 line Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS1 activation. EMS31_US_HIO_v00.001 Confidential / Preliminary 2018-09-21 Cinterion EMS31-X Hardware Interface Description 2.1 Application Interface 18 2.1.3 UICC/SIM/USIM Interface Page 11 of 33 EMS31-X 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-X and is part of the Gemalto M2M reference equipment submit-

ted 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-X. If SIM switch is not available, pull-down (or pull-up) resistor must be used with maximum value 220k. In case there is a pull-up resistor, SIM card is inserted. In case there is a pull-

down resistor, SIM is not inserted. 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-X.

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.

LED and GPIO5 functionality are mutually exclusive. 2.1.5.2 Fast Shutdown The GPIO4 interface line can be configured as fast shutdown signal line FST_SHDN. The con-

figured FST_SHDN line is an active low control signal. EMS31_US_HIO_v00.001 Confidential / Preliminary 2018-09-21 Cinterion EMS31-X Hardware Interface Description 2.2 RF Antenna Interface 18 2.2 RF Antenna Interface Page 15 of 33 The RF interface has an impedance of 50. EMS31-X RF pads are located on pads 58, 59 and 60 (pad 59 is RF_out pad, and pads 58 and 60 are GND pads). The antenna interface is typi-

cally connected by soldering it directly to the applications PCB. 2.2.1 Antenna Interface Specification The antenna interface is designed to meet signal levels according to 3GPP specification. EMS31-X 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. Antenna pad is the antenna reference point (ARP) for EMS31-X. All RF data specified throughout this doc-

ument is related to ARP. Note that DC blocking caps are needed in case DC is applied. EMS31-X operates in the following frequency bands:

Band 2, PCS (1800/1900 MHz) (LTE HD-FDD) Band 4, AWS (1700/2100 MHz) (LTE HD-FDD) Band 12, 700 MHz (LTE HD-FDD) Band 13, 700 MHz (LTE HD-FDD) The following table provides basic information about RF parameters RF Power @ ARP2 Table 3: RF Antenna interface parameters Parameter Conditions Sensitivity1 LTE Band 2 LTE Band 4 LTE Band 12 LTE Band 13 LTE Band 2 LTE Band 4 LTE Band 12 LTE Band 13 LTE Band 2 LTE Band 4 LTE Band 12 LTE Band 13 Receiver return loss in used band3 Typical

EMS31-X is HD-FDD, what means that the return loss at RX band could be <5dB during transmission Please be aware that, in TS 36.521-1, Table 7.3.5-1, the power level is PREFSENS. This has a fixed relationship with the RS EPRE (reference signal energy per resource element), which is:

PREFSENS = RS EPRE + 10 * log10(N_RE), where N_RE is the number of resource elements (12 *[number of RBs]). EMS31_US_HIO_v00.001 Confidential / Preliminary 2018-09-21 Cinterion EMS31-X Hardware Interface Description 2.2 RF Antenna Interface 18 2.2.2 Antenna Installation Page 16 of 33 The distance between the antenna RF pads and its neighboring GND pads has been optimized for best impedance matching. 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 uninterrupted ground plane and embedded Stripline rather than Microstrip line technolo-

gy. 2.2.3 Modular Approval Requirements For type approval purposes (i.e., FCC KDB 996369 related to modular approval requirements) 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. Awareness for ESD protection on the RF interfaces should also be considered. This protection could be utilized through the pi-network above (primarily for managing any additional RF optimization needs) or by additional component addition in series with the above pi-network matching. EMS31_US_HIO_v00.001 Confidential / Preliminary 2018-09-21 Cinterion EMS31-X Hardware Interface Description 2.3 Sample Application 18 2.3 Sample Application Page 17 of 33 Figure 5 shows a typical example of how to integrate an EMS31-X module with an application. Usage of the various host interfaces depends on the desired features of the application. Since the module is running at high RF power (antenna port peak power may vary up to 27dBm), it is designed to avoid self interference inside the module. Customer application de-

sign must also use the best practices to avoid self interference. Generally, it is not recommended to have signals other than GND in direct proximity to the an-

tenna line or antenna itself. Antenna connection and the antenna itself must be kept as far as possible from the sources of interference. High-impedance signals are recommended to be kept as short as possible and away from the sources of interference. Decoupling of the supply parts have to be carried out as recommended by the manufacturer. Failure to comply with these generally applicable practices may result in poor, unreliable performance or problems with cer-

tification of the customer products. 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-X 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-X module. EMS31_US_HIO_v00.001 Confidential / Preliminary 2018-09-21 Cinterion EMS31-X Hardware Interface Description 2.3 Sample Application 18 Page 18 of 33 EMS31-X Antenna BATT+

Table 4: Overview of operating modes Mode Normal operation Function Active TX IDLE LTE data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on net-

work settings, data transfer rate and radio conditions. 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 interfaces can be present. Power consumption depends on the LTE power saving mode and its parameters and on the activity on the ASC interfaces. Sleep Power Down Suspend Mode 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. Suspend mode is foreseen to be implemented in future product variants. There is no any activity inside the module, only internal counter and circuit for wake-up mechanism are active. The module does not preserve the state in which it was before entering the suspend mode, including the GPIOs. Meaning, the state of the module after waking up from suspend will be the same as after restarting the module. The module will enter suspend mode only when the LTE part of the module is in LTE DRX, LTE eDRX, LTE PSM mode or if it is in airplane mode. To allow suspend mode the host application shall indicate via RTS lines (Legacy mode) or via GPIO25 (Advanced mode) that it has no intention to send data. 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 con-

nection. 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-X has to be a single voltage source at BATT+. It must be able to provide the current for all operation modes of the module.

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.

For example, timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 1.1310, 2.1091, 2.1093, and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition, spread spectrum transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure compliance. Modular transmitters approved under other Sections of Part 15, when necessary, may also need to address certain RF Exposure concerns, typically by providing specific installation and operating instructions for users, installers and other interested parties to ensure compliance. Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes RF_734_02 04 April 16 Answer from applicant Items to be covered by Split modular transmitters. 1. The modular transmitter must comply with all requirements of a single modular transmitter except for items (1) & (5) of the above single modular approval requirements. 2. Only the radio front end must be shielded. The physical crystal and tuning capacitors may be located external to the shielded radio elements. The interface between the split sections of the modular system must be digital with a minimum signalling amplitude of 150 mV peak-to-peak. 3. Control information and other data may be exchanged between the transmitter control elements and radio front end. 4. The sections of a split modular transmitter must be tested installed in a host device(s) similar to that which is representative of the platform(s) intended for use. 5. Manufacturers must ensure that only transmitter control elements and radio front end components that have been approved together are capable of operating together. The transmitter module must not operate unless it has verified that the installed transmitter control elements and radio front end have been authorized together. Manufacturers may use means including, but not limited to, coding in hardware and electronic signatures in software to meet these requirements, and must describe the methods in their application for equipment authorization. Note: A limited modular approval (LMA) may be granted for single or split modular transmitters that comply partially with the requirements above.
