Manufacturers of portable applications based on AHS3-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 8.2. AHS3-US_HIO_v02.540 Confidential / Preliminary Page 11 of 39 2012-09-05 AHS3-US Hardware Interface Overview 1.3 Regulatory and Type Approval Information 13 1.3.3 SELV Requirements The power supply connected to the AHS3-US module shall be in compliance with the SELV requirements 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 AHS3-US. 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. Cinterion Wireless Modules 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 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. AHS3-US_HIO_v02.540 Confidential / Preliminary Page 12 of 39 2012-09-05 AHS3-US Hardware Interface Overview 1.3 Regulatory and Type Approval Information 13 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.

aveMode>), but no call in progress. Connection between two subscribers is in progress. Power consump-
tion depends on the GSM network coverage and several connection settings (e.g. DTX off/on, FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences and antenna connection). The following applies when power is to be mea-
sured in TALK_GSM mode: DTX off, FR and no frequency hopping. GPRS data transfer in progress. Power consumption depends on net-

There are three separate voltage domains for BATT+:
BATT+_WCDMA with 2 lines for the WCDMA power amplifier supply BATT+_GSM with 2 lines for the GSM power amplifier supply BATT+ with 2 lines for the general power management. The main power supply from an external application has to be a single voltage source and has to be expanded to three sub paths (star structure). Capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the BATT+ pads. Figure 2 shows two sample circuits (minimum requirement and recommended alternative) for decoupling capacitors for BATT+.

Application layout should in this case implement a differential impedance of 90Ohm for proper signal integrity. Figure 3: USB circuit To properly connect the module's USB interface to the host a USB 2.0 compatible connector is required. Furthermore, the USB modem driver distributed with AHS3-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 AHS3-
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/

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). AHS3-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 4: 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 pulses to the host application, 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. Five pads on the SMT application interface are reserved for the SIM interface. The UICC/SIM/USIM interface supports 3V and 1.8V SIM cards. 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 AHS3-US and is part of the Cinterion reference equipment submitted for type ap-
proval. See Chapter 9 for Molex ordering numbers. Table 8: Signals of the SIM interface (SMT application interface) Signal GND Description Separate ground connection for SIM to improve EMC. Chipcard clock CCCLK CCVCC SIM supply voltage. CCIO CCRST CCIN Serial data line, input and output. Chipcard reset 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 CCIN pin is active low. The CCIN pin is mandatory for applications that allow the user to remove the SIM card dur-
ing operation. The CCIN pin 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 AHS3-US.

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. AHS3-US_HIO_v02.540 Confidential / Preliminary Page 25 of 39 2012-09-05 AHS3-US Hardware Interface Overview 3.6 Analog Audio Interface 27 3.6 Analog Audio Interface AHS3-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. AHS3-US offers six audio modes which can be selected with the AT^SNFS command. The electrical 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 AHS3-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) AHS3-USs PCM interface can be used to connect audio devices capable of pulse code mod-
ulation. AHS3-US_HIO_v02.540 Confidential / Preliminary Page 26 of 39 2012-09-05 AHS3-US Hardware Interface Overview 4 GPS Receiver 27 4 GPS Receiver AHS3-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 position 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]. AHS3-US_HIO_v02.540 Confidential / Preliminary Page 27 of 39 2012-09-05 AHS3-US Hardware Interface Overview 5 Antenna Interfaces 31 5 5.1 Antenna Interfaces GSM/UMTS Antenna Interface The AHS3-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. AHS3-US is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna with-
out 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 AHS3-US module and should be placed in the host application. Regarding the return loss AHS3-US provides the following values in the active band:
Table 9: Return loss in the active band State of module Receive Transmit Idle Return loss of module
> 8dB not applicable
< 5dB Recommended return loss of application
> 12dB
> 12dB not applicable 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. AHS3-US_HIO_v02.540 Confidential / Preliminary Page 28 of 39 2012-09-05 AHS3-US Hardware Interface Overview 5.1 GSM/UMTS Antenna Interface 31 5.1.1 Antenna Installation The antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pads (ANT_WGSM; ANT_DRX) and their neighboring ground pads directly to the applications PCB. The distance between the antenna pads and their neighboring GND pads has been optimized for best possible impedance. To prevent mismatch, special attention should be paid to these pads on the application PCB. The wiring of the antenna connection, starting from the antenna pad to the applications anten-
na should result in a 50line impedance. Line width and distance to the GND plane need 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 external application PCB, it is recommended to realize the antenna con-
nection line using embedded Stripline rather than Micro-Stripline technology. For type approval purposes, the use of a 50coaxial antenna connector (U.FL-R-SMT) might be necessary. In this case the U.FL-R-SMT connector should be placed as close as possible to AHS3-USs antenna pad. AHS3-US_HIO_v02.540 Confidential / Preliminary Page 29 of 39 2012-09-05 AHS3-US Hardware Interface Overview 5.2 GPS Antenna Interface 31 5.2 GPS Antenna Interface In addition to the RF antenna interface AHS3-US also has a GPS antenna interface. The GPS antenna installation and connector are 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. AHS3-US provides the supply voltage VGPS for the GPS active antenna (3.05V). It has to be enabled by software when the GPS-receiver shall becomes active, otherwise VGPS should be off (power saving). VGPS is not short circuit protected. This will have to be provided for by an external application. The DC voltage should be fed back via ANT_GPS_DC for coupling into the GPS antenna path. Figure 6 shows the flexibility in realizing the power supply for an active GPS antenna by giving two sample circuits realizing the supply voltage for an active GPS an-
tenna - one with short circuit protection and one with an external LDO employed. Module SMT interface VGPS 47pF ANT_GPS_DC 10nH ANT_GPS 2p2 Module SMT interface VGPS 47pF ANT_GPS_DC 10nH ANT_GPS 2p2 typ 3.05V max. 300mA Not short circuit protected!

The audio interface demonstrates the balanced connection of microphone and earpiece. This solution is particularly well suited for internal transducers. The PWR_IND line is an open collector that needs an external pull-up resistor which connects to the voltage supply VCC C of the microcontroller. Low state of the open collector pulls the PWR_IND signal low and indicates that the AHS3-US module is active, high level notifies the Power-down mode. If the module is in Power-down mode avoid current flowing from any other source into the mod-
ule circuit, for example reverse current from high state external control lines. Therefore, the controlling application must be designed to prevent reverse flow. If an external level controller is required, this can be done by using for example a 5V I/O tolerant buffer/driver like a
"74AVC4T245" with OE (Output Enable) controlled by PWR_IND. While developing SMT applications it is strongly recommended to provide test points for certain signals resp. 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 [5]. 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. Disclaimer:
No warranty, either stated or implied, is provided on the sample schematic diagram shown in Figure 10 and the information detailed in this section. As functionality and compliance with na-
tional regulations depend to a great amount on the used electronic components and the indi-
vidual application layout manufacturers are required to ensure adequate design and operating safeguards for their products using AHS3-US modules. AHS3-US_HIO_v02.540 Confidential / Preliminary Page 34 of 39 2012-09-05 AHS3-US Hardware Interface Overview 7 Sample Application 35 AHS3 Current limiter
