TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 13 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 1.4 Safety Precautions s The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any cellular terminal or mobile incorporating TC65. 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. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product. Siemens AG assumes no liability for customers failure to comply with these precautions. is forbidden to prevent in an aircraft 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 guidelines 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 manufacturer 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 cannot be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wireless appliances 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 electrical 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 driving 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 operation can constitute a safety hazard. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 14 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s 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 communications, 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 terminal or mobile.

Table 1: Overview of operating modes Normal operation GSM / GPRS SLEEP Various power save modes set with AT+CFUN to is active. Once registered command. Software is active to minimum extent. If the module was registered to the GSM network in IDLE mode, it is registered and paging with the BTS in SLEEP mode, too. Power saving can be chosen at different levels:
The NON-CYCLIC SLEEP mode
(AT+CFUN=0) disables the AT interface. The CYCLIC SLEEP modes AT+CFUN=7 and 9 alternatively activate and deactivate the AT interfaces to allow permanent access to all AT commands. Software the GSM network, paging with BTS is carried out. The module is ready to send and receive. Connection between two subscribers is in progress. Power consumption depends on network coverage individual settings, such as DTX off/on, FR/EFR/HR, hopping sequences, antenna.

The Power Supply disconnects the supply voltage from the baseband part of the circuit. Only a voltage regulator is active for powering the RTC. Software is not active. Interfaces are not accessible. Operating voltage (connected to BATT+) remains applied. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 22 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s Airplane mode Airplane mode shuts down the radio part of the module, causes the module to log off from the GSM/GPRS network and disables all AT commands whose execution requires a radio connection. Airplane mode can be controlled by using the AT commands AT^SCFG and AT+CALA:
With AT^SCFG=MEopMode/Airplane/OnStart the module can be configured to enter the Airplane mode each time when switched on or reset. The parameter AT^SCFG=MEopMode/Airplane can be used to switch back and forth between Normal mode and Airplane mode any time during operation. Setting an alarm time with AT+CALA followed by AT^SMSO wakes the module up into Airplane mode at the scheduled time. Charge-only mode Limited operation for battery powered applications. Enables charging while module is detached from GSM network. Limited number of AT commands is accessible. Charge-only mode applies when the charger is connected if the module was powered down with AT^SMSO. Normal operation (SLEEP, IDLE, TALK, GPRS IDLE, GPRS/EGPRS DATA) and charging running in parallel. Charge mode changes to Charge-only mode when the module is powered down before charging has been completed. Charge mode during normal operation See Table 6 for the various options proceeding from one mode to another. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 23 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.2 Power Supply s TC65 needs to be connected to a power supply at the B2B connector (5 pins each BATT+
and GND). The power supply of TC65 has to be a single voltage source at BATT+. It must be able to provide the peak current during the uplink transmission. 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 GSM baseband using low drop linear 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. SIM switch to provide SIM power supply. 3.2.1 Minimizing Power Losses When designing the power supply for your application please pay specific attention to power losses. Ensure that the input voltage VBATT+ never drops below 3.2V on the TC65 board, not even in a transmit burst where current consumption can rise to typical peaks of 2A. It should be noted that TC65 switches off when exceeding these limits. Any voltage drops that may occur in a transmit burst should not exceed 400mV. The measurement network monitors outburst and inburst values. The drop is the difference of both values. The maximum drop (Dmax) since the last start of the module will be saved. In IDLE and SLEEP mode, the module switches off if the minimum battery voltage (Vbattmin) is reached. Example:
VImin = 3.2V Dmax = 0.35V Vbattmin = VImin + Dmax Vbattmin = 3.2V + 0.35V = 3.55V The best approach to reducing voltage drops is to use a board-to-board connection as recommended, and a low impedance power source. The resistance of the power supply lines on the host board and of a battery pack should also be considered. Note:
If the application design requires an adapter cable between both board-to-board connectors, use a flex cable as short as possible in order to minimize power losses. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 24 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s Example:
If the length of the flex cable reaches the maximum length of 100mm, this connection may cause, for example, a resistance of 30m in the BATT+ line and 30m in the GND line. As a result, a 2A transmit burst would add up to a total voltage drop of 120mV. Plus, if a battery pack is involved, further losses may occur due to the resistance across the battery lines and the internal resistance of the battery including its protection circuit.

3.2.2 Measuring the Supply Voltage VBATT+
The reference points for measuring the supply voltage VBATT+ on the module are BATT+ and GND, both accessible at a capacitor located close to the board-to-board connector of the module. Reference point GND Figure 4: Position of the reference points BATT+ and GND 3.2.3 Monitoring Power Supply by AT Command To monitor the supply voltage you can also use the AT^SBV command which returns the value related to the reference points BATT+ and GND. The module continuously measures the voltage at intervals depending on the operating mode of the RF interface. The duration of measuring ranges from 0.5s in TALK/DATA mode to 50s when TC65 is in IDLE mode or Limited Service (deregistered). The displayed voltage
(in mV) is averaged over the last measuring period before the AT^SBV command was executed. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 25 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s 3.3 Power Up / Power Down Scenarios In general, be sure not to turn on TC65 while it is beyond the safety limits of voltage and temperature stated in Chapter 5. TC65 would immediately switch off after having started and detected these inappropriate conditions. In extreme cases this can cause permanent damage to the module. 3.3.1 Turn on TC65 TC65 can be started in a variety of ways as described in the following sections:
Hardware driven start-up by IGT line: starts Normal mode or Airplane mode (see Section Software controlled reset by AT+CFUN command: starts Normal mode or Airplane mode Hardware driven start-up by VCHARGE line: starts charging algorithm and charge-only 3.3.1.1)
(see Section 3.3.1.3) mode (see Section 3.3.1.2) Wake-up from Power-down mode by using RTC interrupt: starts Airplane mode The option whether to start into Normal mode or Airplane mode depends on the settings made with the AT^SCFG command or AT+CALA. With AT+CALA, followed by AT^SMSO the module can be configured to restart into Airplane mode at a scheduled alarm time. Switching back and forth between Normal mode and Airplane mode is possible any time during operation by using the AT^SCFG command. After startup or mode change the following URCs indicate the modules ready state:
SYSSTART indicates that the module has entered Normal mode.
^SYSSTART AIRPLANE MODE indicates that the module has entered Airplane mode.
^SYSSTART CHARGE ONLY MODE indicates that the module has entered the Charge-only mode. Detailed explanations on AT^SCFG, AT+CFUN, AT+CALA and Airplane mode can be found in [1]. Turn on TC65 Using Ignition Line IGT 3.3.1.1 When the TC65 module is in Power-down mode, it can be started to Normal mode or Airplane mode by driving the IGT (ignition) line to ground. This must be accomplished with an open drain/collector driver to avoid current flowing into this pin. The module will start up when both of the following two conditions are met:
The supply voltage applied at BATT+ must be in the operating range. The IGT line needs to be driven low for at least 400ms. Considering different strategies of host application design the figures below show two approaches to meet this requirement: The example in Figure 5 assumes that IGT is activated after BATT+ has already been applied. The example in Figure 6 assumes that IGT is held low before BATT+ is switched on. In either case, to power on the module, ensure that low state of IGT takes at least 400ms from the moment the voltage at BATT+ is available. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 26 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s If configured to a fix baud rate (AT+IPR0), the module will send the URC ^SYSSTART or

Turn on TC65 Using the VCHARGE Signal 3.3.1.2 As detailed in Section 3.5.7, the charging adapter can be connected regardless of the modules operating mode. If the charger is connected to the charger input of the external charging circuit and the modules VCHARGE pin while TC65 is off, and the battery voltage is above the undervoltage lockout threshold, processor controlled fast charging starts (see Section 3.5.6). TC65 enters a restricted mode, referred to as Charge-only mode where only the charging algorithm will be launched. During the Charge-only mode TC65 is neither logged on to the GSM network nor are the serial interfaces fully accessible. To switch to normal operation and log on to the GSM network, the IGT line needs to be activated as described in Section 3.3.1. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 28 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s 3.3.1.3 Reset TC65 via AT+CFUN Command To reset and restart the TC65 module use the command AT+CFUN. You can enter AT+CFUN=,1 or AT+CFUN=x,1, where x may be in the range from 0 to 9. See [1] for details. If configured to a fix baud rate (AT+IPR0), the module will send the URC ^SYSSTART or
^SYSSTART AIRPLANE MODE to notify that it is ready to operate. If autobauding is enabled (AT+IPR=0) there will be no notification. To register to the network SIM PIN authentication is necessary after restart. 3.3.1.4 Reset TC65 in Case of Emergency via EMERG_RST Caution: Use the EMERG_RST pin only when, due to serious problems, the software is not responding for more than 5 seconds. Pulling the EMERG_RST pin causes the loss of all information stored in the volatile memory since the processor restarts immediately. Therefore, this procedure is intended only for use in case of emergency, e.g. if TC65 does not respond, if reset or shutdown via AT command fails. The EMERG_RST signal is available on the application interface. To control the EMERG_RST line it is recommended to use an open drain / collector driver. To actually reset the TC65 module, the EMERG_RST line must be pulled to ground for 10ms. After releasing the line TC65 will start again. After hardware driven restart, notification via ^SYSSTART or ^SYSSTART AIRPLANE URC is the same as in case of restart by IGT or AT command. To register to the network SIM PIN authentication is necessary after restart. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 29 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.3.2 Turn off TC65 s TC65 can be turned off as follows:
Normal shutdown: Software controlled by AT^SMSO command Automatic shutdown: Takes effect if board or battery temperature is out of range or if undervoltage or overvoltage conditions occur. Turn off TC65 Using AT Command 3.3.2.1 The best and safest approach to powering down TC65 is to issue the AT^SMSO command. This procedure lets TC65 log off from the network and allows the software to enter into a secure state and safe data before disconnecting the power supply. The mode is referred to as Power-down mode. In this mode, only the RTC stays active. Before switching off the device sends the following response:
After sending AT^SMSO do not enter any other AT commands. There are two ways to verify when the module turns off:
Wait for the URC ^SHUTDOWN. It indicates that data have been stored non-volatile OK
^SHUTDOWN
^SMSO: MS OFF and the module turns off in less than 1 second. Also, you can monitor the PWR_IND pin. High state of PWR_IND definitely indicates that the module is switched off. Be sure not to disconnect the supply voltage VBATT+ before the URC ^SHUTDOWN has been issued and the PWR_IND signal has gone high. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data. Signal states during turn-off are shown in Figure 7. While TC65 is in Power-down mode the application interface is switched off and must not be fed from any other source. Therefore, your application must be designed to avoid any current flow into any digital pins of the application interface, especially of the serial interfaces. No special care is required for the USB interface which is protected from reverse current.

If the supply voltage at BATT+ was disconnected and then applied again without starting up the TC65 module, the leakage current ranges between 90A and 100A. If the TC65 module is started and afterwards powered down with AT^SMSO, then the leakage current is only 50A. Therefore, in order to minimize the leakage current take care to start up the module at least once before it is powered down. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 31 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.3.3 Automatic Shutdown s the TC65 board is exceeding the critical limits of overtemperature or undertemperature the battery is exceeding the critical limits of overtemperature or undertemperature Automatic shutdown takes effect if:
undervoltage or overvoltage is detected See Charge-only mode described in section 3.5.7 for exceptions. The automatic shutdown procedure is equivalent to the Power-down initiated with the AT^SMSO command, i.e. TC65 logs off from the network and the software enters a secure state avoiding loss of data. Alert messages transmitted before the device switches off are implemented as Unsolicited Result Codes (URCs). The presentation of these URCs can be enabled or disabled with the two AT commands AT^SBC and AT^SCTM. The URC presentation mode varies with the condition, please see Chapters 3.3.3.1 to 3.3.3.4 for details. For further instructions on AT commands refer to [1]. Temperature Dependent Shutdown 3.3.3.1 The board temperature is constantly monitored by an internal NTC resistor located on the PCB. The NTC that detects the battery temperature must be part of the battery pack circuit as described in 3.5.3 The values detected by either NTC resistor are measured directly on the board or the battery and therefore, are not fully identical with the ambient temperature. Each time the board or battery temperature goes out of range or back to normal, TC65 instantly displays an alert (if enabled). URCs indicating the level "1" or "-1" allow the user to take appropriate precautions, such as protecting the module from exposure to extreme conditions. The presentation of the URCs depends on the settings selected with the AT^SCTM write command:
AT^SCTM=1: Presentation of URCs is always enabled. AT^SCTM=0 (default): Presentation of URCs is enabled for 15 seconds time after start-up of TC65. After 15 seconds operation, the presentation will be disabled, i.e. no alert messages can be generated. URCs indicating the level "2" or "-2" are instantly followed by an orderly shutdown. The presentation of these URCs is always enabled, i.e. they will be output even though the factory setting AT^SCTM=0 was never changed. The maximum temperature ratings are stated in Table 16. Refer to Table 2 for the associated URCs. All statements are based on test conditions according to IEC 60068-2-2 (still air).

Temperature Control during Emergency call 3.3.3.2 If the temperature limit is exceeded while an emergency call is in progress the engine continues to measure the temperature, but deactivates the shutdown functionality. If the temperature is still out of range when the call ends, the module switches off immediately
(without another alert message).
^SBC: Undervoltage. 3.3.3.3 Undervoltage Shutdown if Battery NTC is Present In applications where the modules charging technique is used and an NTC is connected to the BATT_TEMP terminal, the software constantly monitors the applied voltage. If the measured battery voltage is no more sufficient to set up a call the following URC will be presented:
The message will be reported, for example, when you attempt to make a call while the voltage is close to the shutdown threshold of 3.2V and further power loss is caused during the transmit burst. In IDLE mode, the shutdown threshold is the sum of the modules minimum supply voltage (3.2V) and the value of the maximum voltage drop resulting from earlier calls. This means that in IDLE mode the actual shutdown threshold may be higher than 3.2V. Therefore, to properly calculate the actual shutdown threshold application manufacturers are advised to measure the maximum voltage drops that may occur during transmit bursts. To remind you that the battery needs to be charged soon, the URC appears several times before the module switches off. To enable or disable the URC use the AT^SBC command. The URC will be enabled when you enter the write command and specify the current consumption of your host application. Step by step instructions are provided in [1]. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 33 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s 3.3.3.4 Undervoltage Shutdown if no Battery NTC is Present The undervoltage protection is also effective in applications, where no NTC connects to the BATT_TEMP terminal. Thus, you can take advantage of this feature even though the application handles the charging process or TC65 is fed by a fixed supply voltage. All you need to do is executing the write command AT^SBC=<current> which automatically enables the presentation of URCs. You do not need to specify <current>. Whenever the supply voltage falls below the value of 3.2V the URC appears several times before the module switches off.
^SBC: Undervoltage 3.3.3.5 Overvoltage Shutdown In the event of the maximum voltage of 4.6V is reached the module sends a URC and then performs an orderly shutdown. Further details: TBD Keep in mind that several TC65 components are directly linked to BATT+ and, therefore, the supply voltage remains applied at major parts of TC65, even if the module is switched off. Especially the power amplifier is very sensitive to high voltage and might even be destroyed. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 34 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s 3.4 Automatic GPRS Multislot Class Change from GPRS Multislot Class 12 (4Tx slots) to GPRS Multislot Class 8 (1Tx), from GPRS Multislot Class 10 (2Tx slots) to GPRS Multislot Class 8 (1Tx) Temperature control is also effective for operation in GPRS Multislot Class 10 and GPRS Multislot Class 12. If the board temperature increases to the limit specified for restricted operation1) while data are transmitted over GPRS, the module automatically reverts:
This reduces the power consumption and, consequently, causes the boards temperature to decrease. Once the temperature drops to a value of 5 degrees below the limit of restricted operation, TC65 returns to the higher Multislot Class. If the temperature stays at the critical level or even continues to rise, TC65 will not switch back to the higher class. After a transition from GPRS Multislot Class 12 or 10 to GPRS Multislot Class 8 a possible switchback to GPRS Multislot Class 12 or 10 is blocked for one minute. Please note that there is not one single cause of switching over to a lower Multislot Class. Rather it is the result of an interaction of several factors, such as the board temperature that depends largely on the ambient temperature, the operating mode and the transmit power. Furthermore, take into account that there is a delay until the network proceeds to a lower or, accordingly, higher Multislot Class. The delay time is network dependent. In extreme cases, if it takes too much time for the network and the temperature cannot drop due to this delay, the module may even switch off as described in Section 3.3.3.1. 1) See Table 16 for temperature limits known as restricted operation. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 35 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.5 Charging Control s TC65 integrates a charging management for rechargeable Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer batteries. You can skip this chapter if charging is not your concern, or if you are not using the implemented charging algorithm. The following sections contain an overview of charging and battery specifications. Please refer to [4] for greater detail, especially regarding requirements for batteries and chargers, appropriate charging circuits, recommended batteries and an analysis of operational issues typical of battery powered GSM/GPRS applications. 3.5.1 Hardware Requirements TC65 has no on-board charging circuit. To benefit from the implemented charging management you are required to install a charging circuit within your application according to the Figure 38. 3.5.2 Software Requirements Use the command AT^SBC, parameter <current>, to enter the current consumption of the host application. This information enables the TC65 module to correctly determine the end of charging and terminate charging automatically when the battery is fully charged. If the
<current> value is inaccurate and the application draws a current higher than the final charge current, either charging will not be terminated or the battery fails to reach its maximum voltage. Therefore, the termination condition is defined as: final charge current (50mA) plus current consumption of the external application. If used the current flowing over the VEXT pin of the application interface (typically 2.9V) must be added, too. The parameter <current> is volatile, meaning that the factory default (0mA) is restored each time the module is powered down or reset. Therefore, for better control of charging, it is recommended to enter the value every time the module is started. See [1] for details on AT^SBC. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 36 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.5.3 Battery Pack Requirements s The charging algorithm has been optimized for rechargeable Lithium batteries that meet the characteristics listed below and in Table 3. It is recommended that the battery pack you want to integrate into your TC65 application is compliant with these specifications. This ensures reliable operation, proper charging and, particularly, allows you to monitor the battery capacity using the AT^SBC command. Failure to comply with these specifications might cause AT^SBC to deliver incorrect battery capacity values. Li-Ion or Lithium Polymer battery pack specified for a maximum charging voltage of 4.2V and a recommended capacity of 1000 to 1200mAh. Since charging and discharging largely depend on the battery temperature, the battery pack should include an NTC resistor. If the NTC is not inside the battery it must be in thermal contact with the battery. The NTC resistor must be connected between BATT_TEMP and GND. The B value of the NTC should be in the range: 10k +5% @ 25C, B25/85 = 3423K to B
=3435K 3% (alternatively acceptable: 10k +2% @ 25C, B25/50 = 3370K +3%). Please note that the NTC is indispensable for proper charging, i.e. the charging process will not start if no NTC is present. Ensure that the pack incorporates a protection circuit capable of detecting overvoltage
(protection against overcharging), undervoltage (protection against deep discharging) and overcurrent. Due to the discharge current profile typical of GSM applications, the circuit must be insensitive to pulsed current. On the TC65 module, a built-in measuring circuit constantly monitors the supply voltage. In the event of undervoltage, it causes TC65 to power down. Undervoltage thresholds are specific to the battery pack and must be evaluated for the intended model. When you evaluate undervoltage thresholds, consider both the current consumption of TC65 and of the application circuit. The internal resistance of the battery and the protection should be as low as possible. It is recommended not to exceed 150m, even in extreme conditions at low temperature. The battery cell must be insensitive to rupture, fire and gassing under extreme conditions of temperature and charging (voltage, current). The battery pack must be protected from reverse pole connection. For example, the casing should be designed to prevent the user from mounting the battery in reverse orientation. It is recommended that the battery pack be approved to satisfy the requirements of CE conformity. Figure 8 shows the circuit diagram of a typical battery pack design that includes the protection elements described above. Figure 8: Battery pack circuit diagram to BATT+

Both batteries meet all requirements listed above. They have been thoroughly tested by Siemens, proved to be suited for TC65, and are CE approved. LIP 633450A1B PCM.STB, type Lithium Ion This battery is listed in the standard product range of VARTA. It is incorporated in a shrink sleeve and has been chosen for integration into the reference setup submitted for Type Approval of Siemens GSM modules. LPP 503759CA PCM.NTC.LT50, type Lithium Polymer This battery has been especially designed by VARTA for use with Siemens GSM modules. It has the same properties as the above Li-Ion battery, except that it is type Polymer, is smaller and comes without casing. Specifications, construction drawings and sales contacts for both VARTA batteries can be found in Section 9.3. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 38 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.5.5 Charger Requirements s the implemented charging algorithm and For using recommended in [4] and in Figure 38, the charger has to meet the following requirements:
Output voltage:
Output current:
5.2Volts 0.2V (stabilized voltage) 500mA Chargers with a higher output current are acceptable, but please consider that only 500mA will be applied when a 0.3Ohms shunt resistor is connected between VSENSE and ISENSE. See [4] for further details. the reference charging circuit 3.5.6 Implemented Charging Technique If all requirements listed above are met (appropriate external charging circuit of application, battery pack, charger, AT^SBC settings) then charging is enabled in various stages depending on the battery condition:
Trickle charging:
Trickle charge current flows over the VCHARGE line. Trickle charging is done when a charger is present (connected to VCHARGE) and the battery is deeply discharged or has undervoltage. If deeply discharged (Deep Discharge Lockout at VBATT+= 02.5V) the battery is charged with 5mA, in case of undervoltage
(Undervoltage Lockout at VBATT+= 2.53.2V) it is charged with 30mA Software controlled charging:
Controlled over the CHARGEGATE. Temperature conditions: 0C to 45C Software controlled charging is done when the charger is present (connected to VCHARGE) and the battery voltage is at least above the undervoltage threshold. Software controlled charging passes the following stages:
- Power ramp: Depending on the discharge level of the battery (i.e. the measured battery voltage VBATT+) the software adjusts the maximum charge current for charging the battery. The duration of power ramp charging is very short (less than 30 seconds).
- Fast charging: Battery is charged with constant current (approx. 500mA) until the battery voltage reaches 4.2V (approx. 80% of the battery capacity).
- Top-up charging: The battery is charged with constant voltage of 4.2V at stepwise reducing charge current until full battery capacity is reached. The duration of software controlled charging depends on the battery capacity and the level of discharge. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 39 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.5.7 Operating Modes during Charging s Of course, the battery can be charged regardless of the engine's operating mode. When the GSM module is in Normal mode (SLEEP, IDLE, TALK, GPRS IDLE or GPRS DATA mode), it remains operational while charging is in progress (provided that sufficient voltage is applied). The charging process during the Normal mode is referred to as Charge mode. If the charger is connected to the charger input of the external charging circuit and the modules VCHARGE pin while TC65 is in Power-down mode, TC65 goes into Charge-only mode. While the charger remains connected it is not possible to switch the module off by using the AT^SMSO command or the automatic shutdown mechanism. Instead the following applies:
If the module is in Normal mode and the charger is connected (Charge mode) the AT^SMSO command causes the module to shut down shortly and then start into the Charge-only mode. In Charge-only mode the AT^SMSO command is not usable. In Charge-only mode the module neither switches off when the battery or the module exceeds the critical limits of overtemperature or undertemperature. In these cases you can only switch the module off by disconnecting the charger. To proceed from Charge-only mode to another operating mode you have the following options:
To switch from Charge-only mode to Normal mode drive the ignition line (IGT) to ground for 1 second. To switch from Charge-only mode to Airplane mode enter the command AT^SCFG=MEopMode/Airplane,on. If AT^SCFG=MEopMode/Airplane/OnStart,on is set, driving the ignition line (IGT) activates the Airplane mode.

In IDLE and TALK mode, the serial interfaces are accessible. All AT commands can be used to full extent. NOTE: If the module operates at maximum power level (PCL5) and GPRS Class 12 at the same time the current consumption is higher than the current supplied by the charger. Battery can be charged while GSM engine is deregistered from GSM network. Charging runs smoothly due current consumption. to constant The AT interface is accessible and allows to use the commands listed below.

TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 42 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.7 RTC Backup s The internal Real Time Clock of TC65 is supplied from a separate voltage regulator in the analog controller which is also active when TC65 is in POWER DOWN status. An alarm function is provided that allows to wake up TC65 to Airplane mode without logging on to the GSM network. In addition, you can use the VDDLP pin on the board-to-board connector to backup the RTC from an external capacitor or a battery (rechargeable or non-chargeable). The capacitor is charged by the BATT+ line of TC65. If the voltage supply at BATT+ is disconnected the RTC can be powered by the capacitor. The size of the capacitor determines the duration of buffering when no voltage is applied to TC65, i.e. the larger the capacitor the longer TC65 will save the date and time. A serial 1k resistor placed on the board next to VDDLP limits the charge current of an empty capacitor or battery. The following figures show various sample configurations. Please refer to Table 17 for the parameters required. Baseband processor RTC PSU B2B 1k BATT+

This is wired to the host interface (board-to-board connector) 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 SIM interface supports 3V and 1.8V SIM cards. Please refer to Table 17 for electrical specifications of the SIM 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. Using the CCIN pin 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 TC65 and is part of the Siemens reference equipment submitted for type approval. See Chapter 8 for Molex ordering numbers. Table 7: Signals of the SIM interface (board-to-board connector) Description Signal CCGND Separate ground connection for SIM card to improve EMC. Be sure to use this ground line for the SIM interface rather than any other ground pin or plane on the module. A design example for grounding the SIM interface is shown in Figure 38. CCCLK Chipcard clock, various clock rates can be set in the baseband processor. CCVCC SIM supply voltage. CCIO CCRST Chipcard reset, provided by baseband processor. CCIN 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 destruction 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 during 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 TC65. The total cable length between the board-to-board connector pins on TC65 and the pins 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 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. 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 initializing any SIM card that the user inserts after having removed a SIM card during operation. In this case, the application must restart TC65. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 44 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.9 Serial Interface ASC0 s TC65 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 2.9V (for high data bit or inactive state). For electrical characteristics please refer to Table 17. TC65 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 GSM module (DCE) Application (DTE) TXD0 RXD0 RTS0 CTS0 DTR0 DSR0 DCD0 RING0 TXD RXD RTS CTS DTR DSR DCD RING Figure 12: 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 primarily designed for controlling voice calls, transferring CSD, fax and GPRS data and for controlling the GSM engine with AT commands. Full Multiplex capability allows the interface to be partitioned into three virtual channels, yet with CSD and fax services only available on the first logical channel. Please note that when the ASC0 interface runs in Multiplex mode, ASC1 cannot be used. For more details on Multiplex mode see [5]. The DTR0 signal will only be polled once per second from the internal firmware of TC65. 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. By default, configured for 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. The setting can be changed using the AT command AT+ICF and, if required, AT^STPB. For details see [1]. ASC0 can be operated at bit rates from 300bps to 460800bps. Autobauding supports the following bit rates: TBD. Autobauding is not compatible with multiplex mode. Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control and XON/XOFF software flow control.

It is primarily intended for use as command and data interface and for downloading firmware. The USB I/O-pins are capable of driving the signal at min 3.0V. They are 5V I/O compliant. To properly connect the modules USB interface to the host a USB 2.0 compatible connector is required. Furthermore, the USB modem driver delivered with TC65 must be installed as described below. The USB host is responsible for supplying, across the VUSB_IN line, power to the modules USB interface, but not to other TC65 interfaces. This is because TC65 is designed as a self-

TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s 3.11.1 Installing the USB Modem Driver This section assumes you are familiar with installing and configuring a modem under Windows 2000 and Windows XP. As both operating systems use multiple methods to access modem settings this section provides only a brief summary of the most important steps. Take care that the usbmodem.inf file delivered with TC65 is at hand. Connect the USB cable to the TC65 host application (for example the evaluation board DSB75) and the PC. Windows detects TC65 as a new USB modem, opens the Found New Hardware Wizard and reports that it is searching for the Siemens AG WM USB Modem driver. Follow the instructions on the screen and specify the path where the usbmodem.inf file is located. Windows will copy the required software to your computer and configure the modem by assigning a free COM port. If you are already using more than one COM port then the next free one will be allocated. Click Finish to complete the installation. Notes for Windows 2000 only:
During the installation procedure you will be prompted for the usbser.sys driver. Make sure the file is present before you start installing the above inf file. The usbser.sys file is not delivered as a single file, but must be extracted from a Windows 2000 cabinet file. This is either the file driver.cab located in the I386 folder of the original Windows 2000 CD or a later cabinet file inside the Service Pack. SP4 for example includes the sp4.cab file which can be found in its I386 folder. The usbser.sys driver from the Service Pack has priority over one provided with the standard Windows 2000 install CD. It is necessary to restart Windows 2000 to make the changes take effect.

It consists of two lines, the serial data line I2CDAT and the serial clock line I2CCLK. The TC65 module acts as a single master device, e.g. the clock I2CCLK is driven by module. I2CDAT is a bi-directional line. Each device connected to the bus is software addressable by a unique 7-bit address, and simple master/slave relationships exist at all times. The module operates as master-
transmitter or as master-receiver. The customer application transmits or receives data only on request of the module. To configure and activate the I2C bus use the AT^SSPI command. If the I2C bus is active the two lines I2CCLK and I2DAT are locked for use as SPI lines. Vice versa, the activation of the SPI locks both lines for I2C. Detailed information on the AT^SSPI command as well explanations on the protocol and syntax required for data transmission can be found in [1]. The I2C interface can be powered from an external supply or via the VEXT line of TC65. If connected to the VEXT line the I2C interface will be properly shut down when the module enters the Power-down mode. If you prefer to connect the I2C interface to an external power supply, take care that VCC of the application is in the range of VVEXT and that the interface is shut down when the PWR_IND signal goes high. See figures below as well as Section 7 and Figure 38. In the application I2CDAT and I2CCLK lines need to be connected to a positive supply voltage via a pull-up resistor.

TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 52 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.13 Audio Interfaces s TC65 comprises three audio interfaces available on the board-to-board connector:
Two analog audio interfaces, both with balanced or single-ended inputs/outputs. Serial digital audio interface (DAI) designed for PCM (Pulse Code Modulation). This means you can connect up to three different audio devices, although only one interface can be operated at a time. Using the AT^SAIC command you can easily switch back and forth.

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). Both analog audio interfaces can be used to connect headsets with microphones or speakerphones. Headsets can be operated in audio mode 3, speakerphones in audio mode 2. Audio mode 5 can be used for a speech coder without signal pre or post processing. When shipped from factory, all audio parameters of TC65 are set to interface 1 and audio mode 1. This is the default configuration optimized for the Votronic HH-SI-30.3/V1.1/0 handset and used for type approving the Siemens 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. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 53 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.13.1 Speech Processing s The speech samples from the ADC or DAI are handled by the DSP of the baseband controller to calculate e.g. amplifications, sidetone, echo cancellation or noise suppression depending on the configuration of the active audio mode. These processed samples are passed to the speech encoder. Received samples from the speech decoder are passed to the DAC or DAI after post processing (frequency response correction, adding sidetone etc.). Full rate, half rate, enhanced full rate, adaptive multi rate (AMR), speech and channel encoding including voice activity detection (VAD) and discontinuous transmission (DTX) and digital GMSK modulation are also performed on the GSM baseband processor. 3.13.2 Microphone Circuit TC65 has two identical analog microphone inputs. There is no on-board microphone supply circuit, except for the internal voltage supply VMIC and the dedicated audio ground line AGND. Both lines are well suited to feed a balanced audio application or a single-ended audio application. The AGND line on the TC65 board is especially provided to achieve best grounding conditions for your audio application. As there is less current flowing than through other GND lines of the module or the application, this solution will avoid hum and buzz problems. 3.13.2.1 Single-ended Microphone Input Figure 18 as well as Figure 38 show an example of how to integrate a single-ended microphone input.

The MICNx input is automatically self biased to the MICPx DC level. It is AC coupled via CK to a resistive divider which is used to optimize supply noise cancellation by the differential microphone amplifier in the module. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 54 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s The VMIC voltage should be filtered if gains larger than 20dB are used. The filter can be attached as a simple first order RC-network (RVMIC and CF). This circuit is well suited if the distance between microphone and module is kept short. Due to good grounding the microphone can be easily ESD protected as its housing usually connects to the negative terminal. 3.13.2.2 Differential Microphone Input Figure 19 shows a differential solution for connecting an electret microphone.

MICNx is automatically self biased to the MICPx DC level. The resulting AC differential voltage is then amplified in the GSM module. The VMIC voltage should be filtered if gains larger than 20dB are used. The filter can be attached as a simple first order RC-network (RVMIC and CF). The advantage of this circuit is that it can be used if the application involves longer lines between microphone and module.

The voltage divider between VMIC and AGND is necessary to bias the input amplifier. MICNx is automatically self biased to the MICPx DC level. The VMIC voltage should be filtered if gains larger than 20dB are used. The filter can be attached as a simple first order RC-network (RVMIC and CF). If a high input level and a lower gain are applied the filter is not necessary. If desired, MICNx via CK can also be connected to the inverse output of the AC source instead of connecting it to the reference potential for differential line input.

The signal is generated by the SYNC pin (pin number 32). Please note that this pin can adopt three different operating modes which you can select by using the AT^SSYNC command: the mode AT^SSYNC=0 described below, and the two LED modes AT^SSYNC=1 or AT^SSYNC=2 described in [1] and Section 3.14.2. The first function (factory default AT^SSYNC=0) is recommended if you want your application to use the synchronization signal for better power supply control. Your platform design must be such that the incoming signal accommodates sufficient power supply to the TC65 module if required. This can be achieved by lowering the current drawn from other components installed in your application. The timing of the synchronization signal is shown below. High level of the SYNC pin indicates increased power consumption during transmission. 1 Tx 577 s every 4.616 ms 2 Tx 1154 s every 4.616 ms Transmit burst SYNC signal*) t = 180 s Figure 25: SYNC signal during transmit burst
*) The duration of the SYNC signal is always equal, no matter whether the traffic or the access burst are active. TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 59 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s 3.14.2 Using the SYNC Pin to Control a Status LED As an alternative to generating the synchronization signal, the SYNC pin can be configured to drive a status LED that indicates different operating modes of the TC65 module. To take advantage of this function the LED mode must be activated with the AT^SSYNC command and the LED must be connected to the host application. The connected LED can be operated in two different display modes (AT^SSYNC=1 or AT^SSYNC=2). For details please refer to
[1]. Especially in the development and test phase of an application, system integrators are advised to use the LED mode of the SYNC pin in order to evaluate their product design and identify the source of errors. To operate the LED a buffer, e.g. a transistor or gate, must be included in your application. A sample circuit is shown in Figure 26. Power consumption in the LED mode is the same as for the synchronization signal mode. For details see Table 17, SYNC pin. Figure 26: LED Circuit (Example) TC65_HD_V00.450 Page 60 of 96 20.04.2005 TC65 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s Antenna Interface 4 The RF interface has an impedance of 50. TC65 is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna connector or pad without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power. The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radiated power, DC-power consumption, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression. Antenna matching networks are not included on the TC65 PCB and should be placed in the host application. Regarding the return loss TC65 provides the following values in the active band:
Table 11: Return loss in the active band State of module Return loss of module Receive Transmit
> 8dB not applicable Recommended return loss of application
> 12dB
> 12dB The connection of the antenna or other equipment must be decoupled from DC voltage. This is necessary because the antenna connector is DC coupled to ground via an inductor for ESD protection. 4.1 Antenna Installation To suit the physical design of individual applications TC65 offers two alternative approaches to connecting the antenna:
Recommended approach: U.FL-R-SMT antenna connector from Hirose assembled on the component side of the PCB (top view on TC65). See Section 4.3 for details. Antenna pad and grounding plane placed on the bottom side. See Section 4.2. The U.FL-R-SMT connector has been chosen as antenna reference point (ARP) for the Siemens reference equipment submitted to type approve TC65. All RF data specified throughout this manual are related to the ARP. For compliance with the test results of the Siemens type approval you are advised to give priority to the connector, rather than using the antenna pad. IMPORTANT: Both solutions can only be applied alternatively. This means, whenever an antenna is plugged to the Hirose connector, the pad must not be used. Vice versa, if the antenna is connected to the pad, then the Hirose connector must be left empty.

It needs to be surrounded by a restricted area filled with air, which must also be reserved 0.8mm in height.

For proper grounding connect the antenna to the ground plane on the bottom of TC65 which must be connected to the ground plane of the application. When you decide to use the antenna pad take into account that the pad has not been intended as antenna reference point (ARP) for the Siemens TC65 type approval. The antenna pad is provided only as an alternative option which can be used, for example, if the recommended Hirose connection does not fit into your antenna design. 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. Notes on soldering:
To prevent damage to the module and to obtain long-term solder joint properties you are advised to maintain the standards of good engineering practice for soldering. Be sure to solder the antenna core to the pad and the shielding of the coax cable to the ground plane of the module next to the antenna pad. The direction of the cable is not relevant from the electrical point of view. FR4 Gold plated pad TC65 material properties:

up resistor. Low state of the open collector indicates that the module is on. Vice versa, high level notifies the Power-
down mode. Therefore, the pin may be used to enable external voltage regulators which supply an external logic for communication with the module, e.g. level converters. This signal switches the mobile on. This line must be driven low by an open drain or open collector driver. Reset function in case of emergency: Pull down and release EMERG_RST.

Consequently, it is subject to ESD handling precautions that typically apply to ESD sensitive components. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation of any application that incorporates a TC65 module. Special ESD protection provided on TC65:
Antenna interface: one spark discharge line (spark gap) SIM interface: clamp diodes for protection against overvoltage. The remaining ports of TC65 are not accessible to the user of the final product (since they are installed within the device) and therefore, are only protected according to the Human Body Model requirements. TC65 has been tested according to the EN 61000-4-2 standard. The measured values can be gathered from the following table. Table 20: Measured electrostatic values Contact discharge Air discharge Specification / Requirements ETSI EN 301 489-7 ESD at SIM port ESD at antenna port 4kV 4kV Human Body Model (Test conditions: 1.5k, 100pF) ESD at USB interface ESD at all other interfaces 1kV 1kV 8kV 8kV 1kV 1kV Note: Please note that the values may vary with the individual application design. For example, it matters whether or not the application platform is grounded over external devices like a computer or other equipment, such as the Siemens reference application described in Chapter 8.

An efficient approach is to mount the TC65 PCB to a frame, plate, rack or chassis. Fasteners can be M2 screws plus suitable washers, circuit board spacers, or customized screws, clamps, or brackets. In addition, the board-to-board connection can also be utilized to achieve better support. To help you find appropriate spacers a list of selected screws and distance sleeves for 3mm stacking height can be found in Section 9.2. When using the two small holes take care that the screws are inserted with the screw head on the bottom of the TC65 PCB. Screws for the large holes can be inserted from top or bottom. 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. All the information you need to install an antenna is summarized in Chapter 4. Note that the antenna pad on the bottom of the TC65 PCB must not be influenced by any other PCBs, components or by the housing of the host device. It needs to be surrounded by a restricted space as described in Section 4.1.

Usage of the various host interfaces depends on the desired features of the application. Audio interface 1 demonstrates the balanced connection of microphone and earpiece. This solution is particularly well suited for internal transducers. Audio interface 2 uses an unbalanced microphone and earpiece connection typically found in headset applications. The charging circuit is optimized for the charging stages (trickle charging and software controlled charging) as well as the battery and charger specifications described in Section 3.5. The PWR_IND line is an open collector that needs an external pull-up resistor which connects to the voltage supply of the microcontroller VCC C. Low state of the open collector pulls the PWR_IND signal low and indicates that the TC65 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 module circuit, for example reverse current from high state external control lines. Therefore, the controlling application must be designed to prevent reverse or return flow. This is not necessary for the USB interface. The I2C interface can be powered from an external supply or via the VEXT line of TC65. The advantage of this solution is that when the module enters the Power-down mode, the I2C interface is shut down as well. If you prefer to connect an I2C interface to an external power supply, take care that the interface is shut down when the PWR_IND signal goes high in Power-down mode. 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 position of components. For example, mounting the internal acoustic transducers directly on the PCB eliminates the need to use the ferrite beads shown in the sample schematic. However, when connecting cables to the modules interfaces it is strongly recommended to add appropriate ferrite beads for reducing RF radiation. Disclaimer No warranty, either stated or implied, is provided on the sample schematic diagram shown in Figure 38 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 operating safeguards for their products using TC65 modules.
