This requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable AH3-US based applications to be eval-
uated 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 European and 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.

Manufacturers of portable applications based on AH3-US modules are required to have their final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate relat-
ed to the specific portable mobile. See also Section 7.2. AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Confidential / Released Page 12 of 42 2012-05-29 AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview 1.3 Regulatory and Type Approval Information 14 1.3.3 SELV Requirements The power supply connected to the AH3-US module shall be in compliance with the SELV re-
quirements defined in EN 60950-1. 1.3.4 Safety Precautions The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating AH3-US. Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to convey the following safety information to users and operating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied with the product. Fail-
ure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and in-
tended use of the product. Cinte rion Wirele ss Modules a ssumes no liability for cu stomers 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 hearing 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 electri-
cal 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. AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Confidential / Released Page 13 of 42 2012-05-29 AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview 1.3 Regulatory and Type Approval Information 14 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. Bear in mind that exposure to excessive levels of noise can cause physical damage to users! With regard to acoustic shock, the cellular application must be designed to avoid unintentional increase of amplification, e.g. for a highly sensitive earpiece. A pro-
tection circuit should be implemented in the cellular application.

AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Confidential / Released Page 20 of 42 2012-05-29 AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview 3.2 Power Supply 28 3.2 Power Supply AH3-US needs to be connected to a power supply at the board-to-board connector - 5 lines each BATT+ and GND. The power supply of AH3-US has to be a single voltage source at BATT+. It must must be able to provide the peak current during the uplink transmission. All key functions for supplying power to the device are handled by the power management IC. It provides the following features:
Stabilizes the supply voltages for the baseband using switching regulators and low drop lin-
ear voltage regulators. Switches the module's power voltages for the power-up and -down procedures. Delivers, across the VEXT pin, a regulated voltage for an external application. This voltage is not available in Power-down mode and can be reduced via AT command to save power. SIM switch to provide SIM power supply. AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Confidential / Released Page 21 of 42 2012-05-29 AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview 3.3 USB Interface 28 3.3 USB Interface AH3-US supports a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mbit/s) device interface that is Full Speed
(12Mbit/s) compliant. The USB interface is primarily intended for use as command and data interface and for downloading firmware. The USB host is responsible for supplying the VUSB_IN line. This line is for voltage detection only. The USB part (driver and transceiver) is supplied by means of BATT+. This is because AH3-US is designed as a self-powered device compliant with the Universal Serial Bus Speci-
fication Revision 2.01. Module VREG (3V075) lin. reg. B2B USB part1) VBUS DP DN Detection only Host wakeup BATT+
GND VUSB_IN USB_DP2) USB_DN2) RING0 GPIO4 1) All serial and pull-up resistors for data lines are implemented. 2) If the USB interface is operated in High Speed mode (480MHz), it is recommended to take special care routing the data lines USB_DP and USB_DN. Application layout should in this case implement a differential impedance of 90Ohm for proper signal integrity. Figure 2: USB circuit To properly connect the module's USB interface to the host a USB 2.0 compatible connector is required. For more information on the USB related pins see Table 27. Furthermore, the USB modem driver distributed with AH3-US needs to be installed. While the USB connection is active, the module will not change into SLEEP Mode. To enable switching into SLEEP mode the USB host must bring its USB interface into Suspend state. Al-
so, VUSB_IN should always be kept enabled for this functionality. See Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0"1 for a description of the Suspend state. On incoming calls AH3-US will then generate a remote wake up request to resume the USB connection (active low). As an alternative to the regular USB remote wakeup mechanism it is possible to employ the RING0 or GPIO4 line to wake up the host application. The benefit is that the RING0 or GPIO4 lines can wake up the host application in case of incoming calls or other events signalized by URCs while the USB interface is suspended or shut down. 1. The specification is ready for download on http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/
AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Confidential / Released Page 22 of 42 2012-05-29 AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview 3.4 Serial Interface ASC0 28 3.4 Serial Interface ASC0 AH3-US offers an 8-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC0 conforming to ITU-T V.24 protocol DCE signalling. 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). For electrical characteristics please refer to Table 27. AH3-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 3: 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. ASC0 is designed for controlling GSM/UMTS voice calls, transferring data and for control-
ling the module with AT commands. Full multiplexing capability allows the interface to be partitioned into virtual channels. The RING0 signal serves to indicate incoming calls and other types of URCs (Unsolicited Result Code). It can also be used to send p ulses to th e host applicat ion, for example to wake up the application from power saving state. See [1] for details on how to configure the RING0 line by AT^SCFG. Configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. ASC0 can be operated at fixed bit rates from 9600bps up to 921600bps. Autobauding is supported. Autobauding is not compatible with multiplex mode. Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control. Wake up from SLEEP mode by RTS0 activation (high to low transition). Note. If the ASC0 serial interface is the applications only interface, it is suggested to connect test points on the USB signal lines as a potential tracing possibility.

This is wired to the host interface in order to be connected to an external SIM card holder. Six pins on the board-to-board connector are reserved for the SIM interface. The UICC/SIM/USIM interface supports 3V and 1.8V SIM cards. Please refer to Table 27 for electrical specifications of the UICC/SIM/USIM interface lines depending on whether a 3V or 1.8V SIM card is used. The CCIN pin serves to detect whether a tray (with SIM card) is present in the card holder. Us-
ing the CCIN pin is mandatory for compliance with the GSM 11.11 recommendation if the me-
chanical 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 op-
erate with AH3-US and is part of the Cinterion reference equipment submitted for type approv-
al. See Chapter 8 for Molex ordering numbers. Table 9: Signals of the SIM interface (board-to-board connector) Signal CCGND Separate ground connection for SIM card to improve EMC.

To avoid possible cross-talk from the CCCLK signal to the CCIO signal be careful that both lines are not placed closely next to each other. A useful approach is using the CCGND line to shield the CCIO line from the CCCLK line. AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Confidential / Released Page 26 of 42 2012-05-29 AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview 3.6 Analog Audio Interface 28 3.6 Analog Audio Interface AH3-US has an analog audio interface with a balanced analog microphone input and a bal-
anced analog earpiece output. A supply voltage and an analog ground connection are provided at dedicated pins. AH3-US offers six audio modes which can be selected with the AT^SNFS command. The elec-
trical characteristics of the voiceband part vary with the audio mode. For example, sending and receiving amplification, sidetone paths, noise suppression etc. depend on the selected mode and can be altered with AT commands (except for mode 1). When shipped from factory, all audio parameters of AH3-US are set to audio mode 1. This is the default configuration optimised for the Votronic HH-SI-30.3/V1.1/0 handset and used for type approving the Cinterion Wireless Modules reference configuration. Audio mode 1 has fix parameters which cannot be modified. To adjust the settings of the Votronic handset simply change to another audio mode. 3.7 Pulse Code Modulation Interface (PCM) AH3-USs PCM interface can be used to connect audio devices capable of pulse code modu-
lation. The PCM functionality allows the use of a codec like the Freescale MC145483. 3.8 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) ADC is used for antenna diagnosis only. 3.9 GPIO Interface The AH3-US has 10 GPIOs for external hardware devices. Each GPIO can be configured for use as input or output. All settings are AT command controlled. The IO port driver has to be open before using and configuring GPIOs. Before changing the configuration of a GPIO pin
(e.g. input to output) the pin has to be closed. If the GPIO pins are not configured or the pins/
driver were closed, the GPIO pins are high-Z with pull down resistor. If a GPIO is configured to input, the pin has high-Z without pull resistor. AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Confidential / Released Page 27 of 42 2012-05-29 AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview 4 GPS Receiver 28 4 GPS Receiver AH3-US integrates a GPS receiver that offers the full performance of GPS technology. The GPS receiver is able to continuously track all satellites in view, thus providing accurate satellite po-
sition data. The integrated GPS receiver supports the NMEA protocol via USB or ASC0 interface. NMEA is a combined electrical and data specification for communication between various (marine) electronic devices including GPS receivers. It has been defined and controlled by the US based National Marine Electronics Association. For more information on the NMEA Standard please refer to http://www.nmea.org. Depending on the receivers knowledge of last position, current time and ephemeris data, the receivers startup time (i.e., TTFF = Time-To-First-Fix) may vary: If the receiver has no knowl-
edge of its last position or time, a startup takes considerably longer than if the receiver has still knowledge of its last position, time and almanac or has still access to valid ephimeris data and the precise time. By default, the GPS receiver is switched off. It has to be switched on and configured using AT commands. For more information on how to control the GPS interface via the AT command AT^SGPSC see [1]. AH3-US_HD_v01.000 Confidential / Released Page 28 of 42 2012-05-29 AH3-US Hardware Interface Overview 5 Antenna Interfaces 32 5 5.1 Antenna Interfaces GSM/UMTS Antenna Interface The AH3-US RF antenna interface comprises a main GSM/UMTS antenna as well as an op-
tional UMTS Rx diversity antenna to improve signal reliability and quality1. The RF interface has an impedance of 50. AH3-US is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna pad 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, DC-power consumption, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Anten-
na matching networks are not included on the AH3-US module and should be placed in the host application. Regarding the return loss AH3-US provides the following values in the active band:
Table 10: Return loss in the active band State of module Receive Transmit not Idle applicable
< 5dB Return loss of module
> 8dB Recommended return loss of application
> 12dB
> 12dB not applicable The connection of the antenna or other equipment must be decoupled from DC voltage. This is necessary because the antenna pad is DC coupled to ground via an inductor for ESD pro-
tection. 5.1.1 RF Antenna Pad The RF antenna can be attached to the antenna pad via contact springs such as the Rosenberger pogo pin series (Figure 5 shows the modules RF antenna pad size; for more information on the Pogo pin series see Section 5.1.1.1). Note: The antenna pad resp. an SMA antenna connector sol-
dered to the antenna pad has been chosen as antenna refer-
ence point (ARP) for the Cinterion module AH3-US type approval. Figure 5: RF antenna pad size Also, consider that according to the GSM recommendations TS 45.005 and TS 51.010-01 a 50 connector is mandatory for type approval measurements. This requires GSM devices with an integral antenna to be temporarily equipped with a suitable connector or a low loss RF cable with adapter. Please note that the GSM antenna must be isolated for ESD (to withstand a voltage resistance up to 8kV air discharge). 1. By delivery default the optional UMTS Rx diversity antenna is configured as available for the module. Please refer to [1] for details on how to configure antenna settings.

See Section 6.1 to find out where the GPS antenna pad is located. The GPS pad is the same as for the RF antenna interface (see Section 5.1.1 ). It is possible to connect active or passive GPS antennas. In either case they must have 50Ohm impedance. The simultaneous operation of GSM and GPS has been implemented. For electri-
cal characteristics see Section 6.8. Active 3V GPS antennas can be supplied via the GPS antenna interface, if the supply voltage is switched on. This is done by AT command: AT^SGPSC="Power/Antenna" to configure the use of an active GPS antenna and AT^SGPSC="Engine" to start the GPS receiver (for com-
mand details see [1]). The available current is limited to prevent short circuits.

An efficient approach is to mount the AH3-US PCB to a frame, plate, rack or chassis. Fasteners ca n be M2 screws plus suita ble wa shers, circuit board s pacers, or customize d screws, clamps, or brackets. In addition, the board-to-board connection can also be utilized to achieve better support. For proper grounding it is strongly recommended to use large ground plane on the bottom of board in addition to the five GND pins of the board-to-board connector. The ground plane may also be used to attach cooling elements, e.g. a heat sink or thermally conductive tape. To prevent mechanical damage, be careful not to force, bend or twist the module. Be sure it is positioned flat against the host device. 6.3 Board-to-Board Application Connector This section provides the specifications of the 80-pin board-to-board connector used to connect AH3-US to the external application.
