May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description xix Chapter 1: Introduction The G24 is the newest member of Motorola's embedded cellular modules family. Designed with quad band GSM capabilities, which supports all four GSM bands -
850/900/1800/1900 MHz, and with GPRS/EGPRS multislot class 10, G24 can operate on any GSM/GPRS/EGPRS network to provide voice and data communications. The G24 is similar to a condensed cellular phone core, which can be integrated into any system or product that needs to transfer voice or data information over a cellular network. Thus, it significantly enhances the system's capabilities, transforming it from a standalone, isolated product to a powerful high-performance system with global communications capabilities. The G24 is designed as a complete GSM communications solution with all the controls, interfaces and features to support a broad range of applications:
A powerful audio interface A large set of indicators and control signals Several advanced power-saving modes A variety of serial communications solutions. All these features and interfaces are easily controlled and configured using a versatile AT command interface that provides full control over the G24 operation. The G24 control and indication interface extends its capabilities beyond GSM communications. This includes an A/D and GPIO interface, and a regulated output voltage for supplying external circuits. With these interfaces, the G24 can operate and control external applications and receive feedback from external environment and circuits. The G24 interface design, using a single 70 pin board-to-board connector, through which all application interfaces are managed, facilitates fast and easy integration. It significantly shortens the development process, and minimizes the product's time to market. The G24 is extremely compact in size with a slim mechanical design, which makes it space saving on the application board and easily fitted into any board design. The advanced power supply management significantly reduces power consumption to a necessary minimum and prolongs battery life.

Each operating mode is different in the active features and interfaces. Table 2-1 summarizes the general characteristics of the G24 operating modes and provides general guidelines for operation. Table 2-1: G24 Operating Modes Mode Description Features Not Powered VCC supply is disconnected. RTC Mode Valid VCC supply. RESET_N signal is enabled (low). The G24 is Off. Any signals connected to the interface con-
nector must be set low or tri-state. The G24 Interfaces are Off. Only the internal RTC timer is operating. Any signals connected to the interface connector must be set low or tri-stated. Idle Mode RESET_N signal is disabled (high). CTS_N and DSR_N signals are enabled
(low). The G24 is fully active, registered to the GSM network and ready to communicate. This is the default power-up mode. Sleep Mode RESET_N signal is high. CTS_N signal is disabled. CSD call or GPRS/EGPRS data RESET_N signal is high. TXEN_N signal is toggling. The G24 is in low power mode. The application interfaces are disabled, but, G24 continues to monitor the GSM network. A GSM voice or data call is in progress.When the call terminates, G24 returns to the last operating state (Idle or Sleep). May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 9 Power Supply Power Supply The G24 power supply must be a single external DC voltage source of 3.3V to 4.2V. The power supply must be able to sustain the voltage level during a GSM transmit burst current surge, which may reach 2.0A. The G24 interface connector has 8 contacts for the main power supply, as described in Table 2-2. All these contacts must be used for proper operation. Table 2-2: Power Supply Signals Pin #
Signal Name Description 1-4 5-8 GND VCC Main ground connection for G24 module. DC supply input for G24 module. VIN = 3.3 V to 4.2 V IRMS = 550 mA during multislot transmission IMAX = 2 A during transmit bursts Power Supply Design Special care must be taken when designing the power supply of the G24. The single external DC power source indirectly supplies all the digital and analog interfaces, but also directly supplies the RF power amplifier (PA). Therefore, any degradation in the power supply performance, due to losses, noises or transients, will directly affect the G24 performance. The burst-mode operation of the GSM transmission and reception, draws instantaneous current surges from the power supply, which causes temporary voltage drops of the power supply level. The transmission bursts consume the most instantaneous current, and therefore cause the largest voltage drop. If the voltage drops are not minimized, the frequent voltage fluctuations may degrade the G24 performance. Figure 2-2 illustrates the power supply behavior during GSM transmission. Figure 2-2: Transmission Power Drops 10 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description It is recommended that the voltage drops during a transmit burst will not exceed 300mV, measured on the G24 interface connector. In any case, the G24 supply input must not drop below the minimum operating level during a transmit burst. Dropping below the minimum operating level may result in a low voltage detection, which will initiate an automatic power-off. To minimize the losses and transients on the power supply lines, it is recommended to follow these guidelines:
Use a 1000 uF, or greater, low ESR capacitor on the G24 supply inputs. The capacitor should be located as near to the G24 interface connector as possible. Use low impedance power source, cabling and board routing. Use cabling and routing as short as possible. Filter the G24 supply lines using filtering capacitors, as described in Table 2-3.

The RESET_N signal indicates whether G24 is powered on or off. When this signal is enabled (low), G24 is powered-off. When it is disabled (high), G24 is powered-on. The CTS_N signal indicates the serial communications interface (UART) status. When this signal is high, the G24 serial interface is disabled. When it is low, the serial interface is enabled, and G24 is ready to communicate. These same conditions apply to the CTS2_N signal with regards to the second serial interface
(UART2). Important: Do not operate the G24 out of its electrical or environmental limits. Refer to the specifications chapter for details of these limits. Turning the G24 On When the G24 power supply is stable above the minimum operating level and G24 is powered off, only the internal RTC timer is active. When G24 is turned on, by any of the methods described below, it will first perform an automatic internal system-test, during which basic functions are verified. The system-test duration is typically 1600 milliseconds. When the system-test has completed G24 resumes normal operation. During the internal system-test process G24 may toggle several interface signals, which are visible to the application. These signals do not represent any valid state or data, and should be ignored by the customer application until the system-test has completed. Power Supply Turn-on When connecting the power supply for the first time, or when reconnecting it after a power supply loss, G24 will power-on. The G24 is turned-on automatically when external power is applied above the minimum operating level. The G24 will power-off automatically, in case it is not powered-on by the ON_N or IGN signals, after the internal system-test period (typically 1600ms) is completed. If the ON_N or IGN signals are asserted during that period, G24 will respond accordingly and continue to power-up normally. The ON_N and IGN signals will be active and responding only after the power supply to the G24 is stable above the minimum operating level. Therefore, the ON_N and IGN signals must not be used for at least 100 milliseconds after applying power to G24. 14 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description Figure 2-3 illustrates the G24 power on and off upon application of a power supply, during which the ON_N or IGN signals are not asserted. Figure 2-3: Power Supply Turn-on and Off Turning the G24 On Using ON_N The ON_N input signal is set high by an internal pull-up resistor whenever a power supply is applied to G24. Therefore, it is recommended to operate this signal using an open collector/drain circuit connection. Asserting the ON_N signal low for a minimum of 500 milliseconds (0.5 seconds) and a maximum of 1.5 seconds will cause the G24 to turn-on. Asserting the ON_N signal low for more than 1.5 seconds may cause the G24 to interpret the signal as a power-off command, and turn off immediately after turning on. Figure 2-4 illustrates the power-on process using the ON_N signal. Figure 2-4: ON_N Power On Timing May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 15 Power On/Off Operation Turning the G24 On Using IGN The IGN input signal must be set low when not used. To turn on G24, this signal must be asserted high. The IGN signal must remain high for the duration of the G24 operation. G24 powers down when the IGN signal is returned to its low state. Important:
It is recommended to place a pull-down resistor in the customer application, on the IGN signal. A 100 kohm resistor, or less, is acceptable. Figure 2-5 illustrates the power-on process using the IGN signal. Figure 2-5: IGN Power On Timing Turning the G24 Off There are several ways to turn the G24 off:
Asserting the ON_N signal low for a minimum of 2 seconds. Setting the IGN signal low. Low power automatic shut down. AT command. Turning the G24 Off Using ON_N The ON_N signal is set high using an internal pull up resistor when power is applied to G24. Asserting the ON_N signal low for a minimum of 2 seconds will turn G24 off. This will initiate a normal power-off process, which includes disabling of all applications interfaces (UART, SIM card, audio, etc.) and closing the network connection. 16 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description Figure 2-6 illustrates the power-off timings when using the ON_N signal. Figure 2-6: ON_N Power Off Timing Turning the G24 Off Using IGN The IGN signal may be used to power off G24 only if it was also used to power it on. When the IGN signal is set low, G24 will turn off. This will initiate a normal power-off process, which includes disabling of all applications interfaces (UART, SIM card, audio, etc.) and closing the network connection. The IGN signal will not power off G24 before 30 seconds have elapsed since G24 was powered-on. This delay mechanism is implemented to protect G24 from unexpected transients on the IGN line during power up, particularly when applying vehicle cranking waveforms. Figure 2-7 illustrates the power-off timings when using the IGN signal. Figure 2-7: IGN Power Off Timing May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 17 Power On/Off Operation Power Loss shut down A low power shut down occurs when G24 senses the external power supply is below the minimal operating limit. The module will respond by powering down automatically without notice. This form of power-down is not recommended for regular use since the unexpected power loss may result in loss of data. Turning the G24 Off Using AT+MRST The AT+MRST command initiates a G24 system reset operation, which powers off the G24. This command emulates the ON_N signal operation for power off. 18 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Low Power Mode Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description The G24 incorporates an optional low power mode, called Sleep Mode, in which it operates in minimum functionality, and therefore draws significantly less current. During low power mode the G24 network connection is not lost. G24 continues to monitor the GSM network constantly for any incoming calls or data. During low power mode, all of the G24 interface signals are inactive and are kept in their previous state, prior to activating low power mode. To save power, all the G24 internal clocks and circuits are shut down, and therefore serial communications is limited. Activating Low Power Mode By default, the G24 powers on in Idle mode. In this mode the G24 interfaces and features are functional and the module is fully active. Low power mode is activated by the ATS24 command. The value set by this command determines the inactive state duration required by G24, in seconds, after which G24 will enter sleep mode. For example:
ATS24 = 1 activates low power mode after 1 second of inactivity. ATS24 = 5 activates low power mode after 5 seconds of inactivity. ATS24 = 0 disables low power mode (default). Figure 2-8 illustrates the ATS24 command operation. Figure 2-8: ATS24 Operation Important: G24 will not enter low power mode in any case when there is data present on the serial interface or incoming from the GSM network or an internal system task is running. Only when processing of any external or internal system task has completed, and G24 is inactive for the duration of ATS24, it will enter low power mode. May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 19 Low Power Mode Important: G24 will not enter low power mode when USB is operating. Connecting USB to the G24 will disable the low power mode operation. Serial Interface During Low Power Mode During low power mode the G24 serial interfaces are disabled. This is indicated by the CTS signal high state. The G24 wakes up periodically from low power mode to page the GSM network for any incoming calls or data. After this short paging is completed, G24 returns to low power mode. During this short awake period, the serial interfaces are enabled and communications with the module is possible. The CTS_N signal is alternately enabled and disabled synchronously with the network paging cycle. CTS_N is enabled whenever G24 awakes to page the network. This indicates the G24 serial interfaces are active (see Figure 2-9). Figure 2-9: CTS Signal During Sleep Mode The periodical enabling and disabling of the CTS_N signal during low power mode can be controlled by the AT+MSCTS command. Setting AT+MSCTS=1 permanently disables the serial interface during low power mode, even during a network page by G24. The CTS_N signal is disabled, and therefore the serial interfaces are blocked. Terminating Low Power Mode Terminating the low power mode, or wake-up, is defined as the transition of the G24 operating state from Sleep mode to Idle mode. There are several ways to wake-up G24 from low power mode as described below. Important: During power saving mode the G24 internal clocks and circuits are disabled, in order to minimize power consumption. When terminating the power saving mode, and switching to Idle mode, G24 requires a minimal delay time to reactivate and stabilize its internal circuits before it can respond to application data. This delay is typically of 5 milliseconds, and is also indicated by the CTS_N signal inactive (high) state. The delay guarantees that data on the serial interface is not lost or misinterpreted. 20 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description Temporary Termination of Low Power Mode Temporary termination of low power mode occurs when G24 switches from Sleep mode to Idle mode for a defined period, and then returns automatically to Sleep mode. Low power mode may be terminated temporarily by several sources, some of which are user initiated and others are initiated by the system. Using the WKUPI_N signal The WKUPI_N signal is an active low input, that is set high by default. By asserting this signal low the application can wake-up G24 from low power mode and switch to Idle mode. G24 will remain in Idle mode, awake and fully active, as long as WKUPI_N signal remains low. When this signal is disabled and set high again, G24 will return to Sleep mode automatically, according to the ATS24 settings (see Figure 2-10). Figure 2-10: WKUPI_N Signal Operation The WKUPI_N signal is the recommended method to temporarily wake-up G24 from low power mode. It provides the application full control of the G24 operating mode and guarantees that data on the serial interface will not be lost or misinterpreted. The WKUPI_N signal must be used to wake up G24 from low power mode if the serial interface has been disabled by the AT+MSCTS command. Incoming Network Data During low power mode, G24 continues monitoring the GSM network for any incoming data, message or voice calls. When G24 receives an indication from the network that an incoming voice call, message or data is available, it automatically wakes up from low power mode to alert the application. When G24 has completed to process all the tasks related to the incoming data, it will automatically return to low power mode according to the ATS24 settings. Depending on the type of network indication and the application settings, G24 may operate in several methods, which are configurable by AT commands, to alert the application of the incoming data:
Enable the WKUPO_N signal to wake-up the application from low power. Send data to the application over the serial interface. Enable the serial interface's Ring Indicator (RI_N) signal. May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 21 Low Power Mode Data on the Serial interface While G24 is temporarily awake in Idle mode, data may be transmitted on the serial interface. In case data is being transmitted in any direction, G24 will not return to low power mode. This is regardless of the original wake-up reason or source. G24 will remain awake while data is transferred. Only when the serial interface transfer is completed and the data has been processed, G24 will return to low power mode automatically, according to the ATS24 settings (see Figure 2-11). Figure 2-11: Serial Interface Data Permanent termination of Low Power Mode The G24 low power mode is enabled and disabled by the ATS24 command. To permanently terminate the G24 low power mode, the ATS24 = 0 command must be used. Setting ATS24 = 0 disables the currently active low power mode and switches G24 to Idle mode. G24 will not return to low power mode until an ATS24 > 0 commands is set again. This command can be sent only when the serial interface is active. In case the serial interface is disabled, it must first be activated before sending this command. To reactivate the serial interface, a temporary termination of the low power mode is required, as described in Temporary Termination of Low Power Mode on page 21. Following the temporary low power mode termination, the serial interface will activate and the ATS24 = 0 command can be received by G24. 22 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Real Time Clock Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description G24 incorporates a Real Time Clock (RTC) mechanism that performs many internal functions, one of which is keeping time. The RTC subsystem is embedded in the PMIC and operates in all of the G24 operating modes (Off, Idle, Sleep), as long as power is supplied above the minimum operating level. The G24 time and date can be set using the following methods:
Automatically retrieved from the GSM network. In case G24 is operated in a GSM network that supports automatic time zone updating, it will update the RTC with the local time and date upon connection to the network. The RTC will continue to keep the time from that point. Using the AT+CCLK command. Setting the time and date manually by this AT commands overrides the automatic network update. Once the time and date are manually updated, the RTC timer will keep the time and date synchronized regardless of the G24 operating state. When the power supply is disconnected from G24, the RTC timer will reset and the current time and date will be lost. On the next G24 power-up the time and date will need to be set again automatically or manually. May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 23 Serial Interfaces Serial Interfaces G24 includes three completely independent serial communications interfaces, which may be used by the application for several purposes. Primary UART (UART1) The G24 primary UART is a standard 8-signal bus. The primary UART is used for all the communications with G24 - AT commands interface, GPRS/EGPRS data and CSD data, programming and software upgrades. The UART signals are active low CMOS level signals. For standard RS232 communications with a PC, an external transceiver is required. G24 is defined as a DCE device, and the user application is defined as the DTE device. These definitions apply for the UART signals naming conventions, and the direction of data flow, as described in Figure 2-12. Figure 2-12: UART1 Interface Signals The G24 primary UART supports baud rates 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400 and 460800 bps. Auto baud rate detection is supported for baud rates up to 57600 bps. All flow control handshakes are supported: hardware, software, or none. Parity bit and Stop bit definitions are also supported. The UART default port configuration is 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity, with hardware flow control and auto baud rate detect enabled. Important: The G24 UART will not send data over the serial interface in case the DTR_N and/or RTS_N input signals are disabled (set high). Therefore, regardless of the handshake method, it is still required to enable these signals for proper operation, by asserting them low. 24 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description Secondary UART (UART2) The secondary UART is a 4-signal interface, which only provides data and flow control signals. The secondary UART is designed, but not limited, to enhance the G24 capabilities by providing connectivity to external devices or applications that require serial communications, such as GPS receivers or Bluetooth wireless devices. The secondary UART may also be used for standard serial communications, like the primary UART. The UART signals are active low CMOS level signals. For standard RS232 communications with a PC, an external transceiver is required. G24 is defined as a DCE device, and the user application is defined as the DTE device. These definitions apply for the UART signals naming conventions, and the direction of data flow, as described in Figure 2-13. Figure 2-13: UART2 Interface Signals USB Interface G24 incorporates a standard Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. The G24 USB electrical interface and protocol conform to the USB 2.0 full-speed specifications. G24 is defined as a USB device on the USB bus and does not support hub or host functionality. USB may be used for standard communications with G24, as done through the UART interface. Important: When USB is active, G24's low power mode cannot be operated. The USB interface signals are shown in Figure 2-14. Figure 2-14: USB Interface Signals May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 25 SIM Interface SIM Interface The G24 incorporates a SIM interface, which conforms to the GSM 11.11 and GSM 11.12 standards, that are based on the ISO/IEC 7816 standard. These standards define the electrical, signaling and protocol specifications of a GSM SIM card. G24 does not incorporate an on-board SIM card tray for SIM placement. The SIM must be located on the user application board, external to the G24. The G24 SIM interface includes all the necessary signals, which are routed to the interface connector, for a direct and complete connection to an external SIM. G24 supports dynamic detection of the SIM card, through a dedicated SIM detection signal. G24 will detect a SIM card insertion or removal upon power up or during operation by the transitions on the SIM_PD_N signal. SIM Connection Figure 2-15 illustrates a typical SIM interface connection to G24. This connection type is implemented on the G24 Developer Board, using an FCI SIM tray, PN 7111S1615A05. Figure 2-15: G24 SIM Interface Table 2-5 details the SIM interface signals. Table 2-5: SIM Interface Signals Pin #

Signal Name Description 46 50 SIM_CLK SIM_PD_N Serial 3.25 MHz clock Active low SIM card presence detection SIM Design Guidelines The SIM interface and signals design is extremely important for proper operation of G24 and the SIM card. There are several design guidelines that must be followed to achieve a robust and stable design that meets the required standards and regulations. Using the SIM detection signal, SIM_PD_N, is mandatory in case the SIM card is accessible to the user and may be removed during G24 operation. To avoid any damage to the SIM or G24, the SIM interface signals must be deactivated before the SIM card contacts are mechanically removed from the SIM tray contacts. Therefore, the SIM_PD_N detection signal must be disabled before the SIM is removed from its tray. The SIM should be located, and its signals should be routed, away from any possible EMI sources, such as the RF antenna and digital switching signals. The SIM interface signals length should not exceed 100 mm between the G24 interface connector and the SIM tray. This is to meet with EMC regulations and improve signal integrity. To avoid crosstalk between the SIM clock and data signals (SIM_CLK and SIM_DIO), it is recommended to rout them separately on the application board, and preferably isolated by a surrounding ground plane. The SIM card signals should be protected from ESD using very low capacitance protective elements (zener diodes, etc.). The G24 interface does not support SIM programming through the VPP signal. This signal should not be connected to G24. May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 27 Audio Interface Audio Interface The G24 audio interface supports several audio devices and operating modes. The audio interface's operating modes, active devices, amplification levels and speech processing algorithms are fully controlled by the host application, through advanced programming options and a versatile AT commands set. The G24 supports the following audio devices:
Two single-ended and biased mono analog microphone inputs for use in a variety of modes. Two differential mono analog speaker outputs for use in a variety of modes. A digital serial interface using PCM coding. Figure 2-16 shows the audio interface topology. Figure 2-16: Audio Interface Topology Handset Microphone Port The handset microphone port is the G24 power-up default active audio input for voice calls. It is located on pin 61 at the G24 interface connector, named MIC. It is designed as a single-ended input and should be referenced to the G24 analog ground. The microphone input includes all the necessary circuitry to support a direct connection to an external microphone device. It incorporates an internal bias voltage of 2.1V through a 2.2k resistor, and has an impedance of 1k. 28 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description Figure 2-17 shows the microphone circuit and Table 2-6 gives the microphone specifications. Figure 2-17: Handset Microphone Circuit Important: The microphone circuit design depends on the type of microphone device.

The speaker output is used for both the handset and the headset audio paths. Figure 2-19 shows a differential speaker circuit, Figure 2-20 shows a single-ended speaker circuit and Table 2-8 gives the speaker specifications. Figure 2-19: Differential Speaker Circuit Important: For safety regulations it is important to place series resistors on the speaker output lines, as illustrated in Figure 2-19. The resistors value should be R = 0 at the design stage, but may be changed to a different value during audio safety testing, in case speaker level limitation is required. Figure 2-20: Single-ended Speaker Circuit May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 31 Audio Interface Important: When implementing a single ended speaker design, it is required to place a series capacitor and resistor on the speaker output line, as illustrated in Figure 2-20. The capacitor should be of low tolerance with values of C = 10-22 uF. The resistor value depends on the speaker application:
- For a handset device, the resistor value should be R = 0 at the design stage, but may be changed to a different value during audio safety testing, in case speaker level limitation is required.
- For a headset device, safety regulations require the resistors value to be R > 2RL, where RL is the speaker impedance (e.g. 32). For example, when using a 32 speaker the series resistance would be R > 64.

dB Headset Detection The G24 operates by default in the basic audio mode with the handset audio path, for DTMF tones and speech, and the alert loudspeaker device, for rings and alert tones, active. The headset path is an alternate audio path in basic mode. It is designed for, but not limited to, a personal hands-free audio device, a headset, using the headset microphone input device and the speaker output device. When this path is selected, the alert loudspeaker is disabled, and all the audio sounds are passed through to the headset path. The HDST_INT_N signal is used to switch between handset and headset audio paths in basic audio mode. This signal is set high by default at power up. Asserting the HDST_INT_N signal low enables the headset audio path and disables the handset and alert paths. Setting this signal high will disable the headset path and enable the handset and alert audio paths. The G24 supports dynamic switching between the handset and headset audio paths, during operation and call handling. Important: The HDST_INT_N signal does not operate in advanced audio mode. This signal's functionality is overridden by the AT+MAPATH command settings. 32 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description Alert Loudspeaker Port The alert loudspeaker is the default G24 power-up ringer. It is used for, but not limited to, sounding the G24 alerts, melodies, and rings. It is located at pins 63 and 65 on the G24 interface connector, named ALRT_N and ALRT_P respectively. It is designed with an internal amplifier supplied directly from VCC, which supplies 0.5W to the audio device. It may also be used as a single-ended output referenced to the G24 analog ground. Figure 2-21 shows the alert loudspeaker circuit and Table 2-9 gives the loudspeaker specifications. Figure 2-21: Differential Loudspeaker Circuit Important: For safety regulations it is important to place series resistors on the alert output lines, as illustrated in Figure 2-21. The resistors value should be R = 0 at the design stage, but may be changed to a different value during audio safety testing, in case that alert level limitation is required. Figure 2-22: SIngle-ended Loudspeaker Circuit May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 33 Audio Interface Important: When implementing a single ended loudspeaker design, it is required to place a series capacitor and resistor on the alert output line, as illustrated in Figure 2-22.

dB Digital Audio Interface The G24 digital audio interface is a serial Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) bus, which uses linear 2's compliment coding. G24 is the PCM bus master, supplying the clock and sync signals to the application. The G24 digital interface is a 4 signal PCM bus, which includes a bit clock output signal for the bus timing, a frame sync output signal for audio sampling timing, and serial data input and output signals. Important: The PCM bus signals are shared internally by the analog audio interface and the digital audio interface. Therefore, when using the analog audio interface the PCM bus signals must be tri-stated or disconnected at the interface connector. 34 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description The digital audio interface supports 4 types of audio data formats, which define the PCM bus configuration and data rates:
Voice band audio - Intended for speech during voice calls and for mono rings and alerts. Stereo audio - Includes 3 audio formats that support high quality stereo ring tones and alerts. The PCM bus configuration is defined by the audio data format that is sounded through the digital audio path, as described in Table 2-10. Table 2-10: Digital Audio modes Audio Mode Frame Sync Sampling Bit Clock AT+CRTT Tones Voice Mono tones 8 kHz 8 kHz Stereo low tones 20.05 kHz Stereo mid tones 32 kHz Stereo high tones 44.1 kHz 520 kHz 520 kHz 705 kHz 1024 kHz 1.4 MHz 6 - 9 (7 default) 12 - 38, 40 - 46 48 - 49 10, 11, 39, 47 Voiceband Audio This digital voice audio format is used for speech during voice calls and for mono rings and alerts. The PCM bus signal's configuration for voiceband audio is:
PCM_CLK - 520 kHz serial clock PCM_FS - 8 kHz bit-wide frame-sync PCM_DOUT - 13-bit linear audio data output PCM_DIN - 13-bit linear audio data input The analog audio is sampled at an 8 kHz rate and converted to linear 13-bit serial PCM audio data. The serial data is transferred on the PCM bus in 16-bit word format, which includes 13 sampled data bits, and 3 added zero value bits. The 16-bit serial data is transferred in both directions after each sync signal's falling edge. The sync signal pulse duration is one clock period, after which the serial data is transferred in both directions for 16 consecutive clock periods. Following the 16-bit data transfer, the serial input and output data signals inactivate until the next sync pulse, which occurs every 125 S (8 kHz). It is recommended the serial data signals will be High-Z during the inactive period. Important:
In digital audio mode the input and output gains cannot be controlled by AT commands. May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 35 Audio Interface Figure 2-23 illustrates the PCM bus format of the voiceband audio configuration. Figure 2-23: Voiceband Mode PCM Bus Coding Format Stereo Audio The digital stereo audio format is used for sounding stereo ring tones and alerts. It incorporates 3 modes of operation that support the different audio sampling rates, which are provided by G24 as ring tone melodies. The available ring tones may be selected by the AT+CRTT command. The PCM bus signal's configuration for stereo ring tones and alerts is:
PCM_CLK - 705 kHz - 1.4 MHz serial clock PCM_FS - 22.05 kHz - 44.1 kHz word-wide frame-sync PCM_DOUT - 16-bit linear audio data output PCM_DIN - Disabled Figure 2-24 illustrates the PCM bus format of the stereo audio configurations. Figure 2-24: Stereo Mode PCM Bus Coding Format Operating Modes The G24 audio interface includes 2 modes of operation. Each operating mode defines the audio input and output devices to be used for each audio sound type and their programmable settings. Basic Mode Basic audio mode is the G24 default power-up audio configuration. Several audio paths are available in this mode, and their settings can be programmed through the AT command set. 36 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description Table 2-11 describes the available audio paths in Basic mode. Table 2-11: Basic Mode Audio Paths Audio Path Input Signal Output Signal Description Handset MIC Headset HDST_MIC Alert Digital SPKR_N, SPKR_P Default audio path for speech and DTMF tones.

PCM_DIN PCM_DOUT Enable digital path by AT+MADIGITAL=1 Advanced Mode Advanced audio mode utilizes G24's unique set of AT commands for advanced audio programming. The expanded AT command set enables to define a specific audio path and setting, which are not part of the default configuration, for each type of audio sound (speech, DTMF tones, rings and alerts). Unlike basic audio mode, which provides predefined audio paths, the advanced audio mode provides full control over the G24 audio interface and its parameters, and differentiates between each type of audio sound. Table 2-12 describes the advanced mode audio programming features. These features are only a part of the complete advanced audio AT command set.

May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 37 Audio Interface Audio Programming Interface The G24 incorporates a unique audio programming interface, through AT commands, which controls the following audio features:
Audio Path - Defines the input and output devices for speech, DTMF tones, rings and alerts. Audio Gain - Defines the amplification (gain) level for input and output audio devices. Audio Algorithm - Defines the speech processing features for voice calls. Figure 2-25 describes the audio programming interface options, which are defined by AT commands. Figure 2-25: Audio Programming Interface Audio Algorithms The G24 audio interface features advanced speech processing algorithms for echo suppression, noise suppression and side-tone feedback Enabling or disabling the algorithms can be configured separately for each audio path and operating mode through the AT command interface. The G24 also supports full rate (FR), half rate (HR), enhanced full rate (EFR) and adaptive multi-rate (AMR) speech coding algorithms, which are used by the GSM network. These algorithms are configured and operated by the GSM network provider. 38 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description Table 2-13 gives the speech processing features.

... 11 Audio Design The audio quality delivered by G24 is highly affected by the application audio design, particularly when using the analog audio interface. Therefore, special care must be taken when designing the G24 audio interface. Improper design and implementation of the audio interface will result in poor audio quality. Poor audio quality is a result of electrical interferences, or noises, from circuits surrounding the audio interface. There are several possible sources for the audio noise:
Transients and losses on the power supply EMI from antenna radiations Digital logic switching noise Most of the audio noise originates from the GSM transmit burst current surges (217 Hz TDMA buzz), which appear on the main power supply lines and antenna, but also indirectly penetrate the internal application's supplies and signals. The noises are transferred into the G24's audio circuits through the microphone input signals and then are amplified by the G24's internal audio amplifiers. To minimize the audio noise and improve the audio performance the microphone and speaker signals must be designed with sufficient protection from surrounding noises. 40 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description The following guidelines should be followed to achieve best audio performance:
Reference the microphone input circuits to the G24 AGND interface signal. If using single-ended audio outputs, they should be referenced to the G24 AGND interface signal. Keep the audio circuits away from the antenna. Use RF filtering capacitors on the audio signals, as described in Table 2-3. The audio signals should not be routed adjacent to digital signals. Isolate the audio signals by a surrounding ground plane or shields. Filter internal supplies and signals that may indirectly affect the audio circuits, from noises and voltage drops. Analog Ground The G24 interface incorporates a dedicated analog ground contact, AGND pin 59, which is internally connected to the G24's ground. The AGND signal is intended to provide a separate ground connection for the application's external audio devices and circuits. This signal provides an isolated ground connection directly from G24, which is separated from the noisy digital ground of the application. It is recommended to connect this signal to analog audio devices and circuits used by the application. Using a separate analog ground minimizes audio noises and improves the audio circuit's immunity from external interferences. May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 41 A/D Interface A/D Interface The G24 includes 5 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) signals with 10-bit resolution, for environmental and electrical measurements. The ADC signals measure an analog DC voltage level on their inputs which is converted to a 10-bit digital value for further processing by G24 or the user application. The A/D signals operation and reporting mechanism is defined by the AT+MMAD command. Each A/D can be defined to provide several reports:
A single measurement. A single A/D measurement will take place and will be reported upon activation of the AT command. An automatic periodical measurement. The A/D measures its input signal at a rate that is defined by the user application. Every measurement will generate an unsolicited message over the serial interface. An automatic periodical measurement with predefined limits. The A/D measures its input signal at a rate that is defined by the user. The user also defines upper and/or lower limits for the A/D measurements. Each measurement is compared to these limits, and an unsolicited message is generated only if these limits are exceeded. Important:
In case the defined periodical measurement rate is equal to, or shorter than, the defined sleep mode delay settings (ATS24), G24 will not enter low power mode. Table 2-17 below, lists the internal and external A/D signals provided by G24. Table 2-17: A/D Signals ADC Name Description Pin #

The measured VCC level can be read and monitored by the user application through the AT+MMAD command, which returns the measured VCC level in Volts times 100. For example, a measured supply level of 3.65 Volts will be presented as 365 by the MMAD command. 42 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description Important: During GSM transmissions the power supply may suffer voltage drops. This can cause frequent and wide changes in the power supply A/D measurements. This should be taken into account when designing and operating the G24 power supply A/D interface. Table 2-18 gives the supply A/D specifications. Table 2-18: Supply A/D Specifications Parameter Conditions Min Typ Max Unit Measurement Range Resolution 3.0 4.5 V 10 mV Temperature A/D The G24 incorporates an internal temperature sensor circuit, which is used to monitor the operating temperature. The temperature is constantly monitored by G24 through a dedicated A/D signal, which is not accessible at the interface connector. Figure 2-26 shows the temperature A/D characteristics. Figure 2-26: Temperature A/D Characteristics May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 43 A/D Interface The measured temperature level can be monitored by the user application through the AT+MMAD command, which returns a digital decimal value that represents the measured temperature level.

General Purpose A/D The G24 provides 3 general purpose A/D (GPAD) signals for customer application use. Each A/D signal can monitor a separate external voltage and report its measured level independently to the application, through the AT command interface. The GPAD signals measure a DC voltage level of 0 - 2.3 V, which is converted internally to a 10-bit digital value. The user application can monitor the A/D voltage level through the AT+MMAD command, which returns the measured DC level in Volts times 100. For example, a measured analog DC level of 1.75 Volts will be presented as 175 by the MMAD command. Table 2-21 gives the GPAD specifications.

tomer use. The RESET_N output signal indicates the G24's operating status. This signal is set high after power up, when G24 is operating. It is set low when G24 is powered off. When the RESET_N signal is low, the G24 interface signals are disabled and do not represent any valid data or state. Furthermore, any input signals connected to the G24 interface must be disabled (tri-state) or set low when RESET_N is low. VREF Reference Regulator The G24 incorporates a regulated voltage output, VREF. The regulator provides a 2.75V output for use by the customer application. This regulator can source up to 200 mA of current to power any external digital circuits. Important: The VREF regulator is powered from the G24's main power supply, and therefore any current sourced through this regulator originates from the G24 VCC supply. The overall VCC current consumed by G24 is directly affected by the VREF operation. The G24 current consumption rises with respect to the current sourced through VREF. 46 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description The VREF regulator incorporates 3 operating modes that are controlled by the AT+MVREF command. These modes define the regulator operating state relative to the G24's operating mode. Figure 2-27 shows the VREF power-up timing. Figure 2-27: VREF Power-up Timing OFF Mode In this mode the VREF regulator is disabled and its output drops to 0V, regardless of the G24 operating state. Standby Mode The Standby operating mode is the default mode when G24 powers on. In this mode VREF follows the G24's operating state. When the G24 is in low power mode, Sleep mode, the VREF regulator is also in a low power state. In this state the VREF regulated output is limited to providing only 2 mA of current maximum, while maintaining the 2.75V output level. When G24 is in Idle mode, or wakes up temporarily from low power mode, the VREF regulator returns to full operation, supplying up to 200 mA. Active Mode In this mode the VREF regulator is always fully active while G24 is operating, regardless of the G24 operating mode.

The wakeup-out (WKUPO_N) signal is an active low output, which is designed to support a low power mode feature in the host application. This signal is used by G24 to indicate that it requires to communicate with the host application through the serial interface, due to an incoming call or data, or an unsolicited event. Applications that incorporate a low power mode should use this signal as an indication to switch from low power mode to normal operation, and activate the serial interface. The wakeup-out mechanism, using the WKUPO_N signal, is controlled by 2 AT commands (see Figure 2-28):
ATS102 - Defines the delay time in milliseconds that G24 will wait, after asserting the WKUPO_N signal low, before sending data on the serial interface. This delay is required to allow the application enough time to reactivate from low power mode and switch to normal mode. If ATS102=0, which is the default value, the WKUPO_N signal and mechanism is disabled. In case the serial interface incorporates hardware flow control signals, the data will be sent according to their state, after the ATS102 delay time has expired. ATS100 - Defines the application minimal wakeup duration, in seconds, for a single wakeup event. This time definition is required to avoid frequent unnecessary wakeup events and consequent ATS102 delays. The application may return to low power mode after the serial interface has been inactive for the duration set by ATS100. This duration is measured from the last data sent or received on the serial interface. 48 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description Figure 2-28: WKUPO_N Operation The following guidelines apply to the wakeup-out mechanism:
G24 will set the WKUPO_N signal low to indicate that in has data to send through the serial interface. G24 will start sending the data to the application after the delay defined by ATS102. The WKUPO_N signal will remain low while data is being sent to the host application. The host application should keep its serial interface active, and not switch to low power mode, while the WKUPO_N signal is low. G24 will set the WKUPO_N signal high when it has completed sending the data. The application serial interface must stay active, and not switch to low power mode, for the duration set by ATS100, after WKUPO_N is set high. G24 will not set the WKUPO_N signal low if it needs to send additional data during the ATS100 delay time. The application may switch to low power mode after the WKUPO_N signal is set high and the serial interface has been inactive for the duration set by ATS100. Antenna Detection The G24 incorporates an internal antenna detection circuit, which senses the physical connection and removal of an antenna or antenna circuit on the G24 antenna connector. The antenna detection state is reported to the application through the ANT_DET output signal, and may also be queried by the ATS97 command. The detection circuit senses DC resistance to ground on the G24 antenna connector. A DC resistance below 100kohm (+10%) is defined as a valid antenna connection, and the ANT_DET output signal is set high. GPRS/EGPRS Detection The GPRS output signal indicates the network GPRS/EGPRS connection status. When G24 is connected to a GPRS/EGPRS network, this signal is enabled. When G24 is not connected to the GPRS/EGPRS network this signal is disabled. May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 49 Controls and Indicators Interface Transmission Indicator The TXEN_N output signal indicates when G24 is transmitting over the GSM network. This signal follows the G24 GSM transmit bursts. This signal is set low during transmission burst, and set high when no transmission is in progress. Figure 2-29 shows the TXEN_N operation. Figure 2-29: TXEN_N Operation General Purpose I/O The G24 incorporates 8 general purpose IO signals for the user application. Each GPIO signal may be configured and controlled by AT command. These signals may be used to control or set external application circuits, or to receive indications from the external application. 50 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 2: Hardware Interface Description Antenna Interface The G24 antenna connector is the RF interface to the GSM network. The antenna interface is terminated by an MMCX connector type, which is 50 impedance matched at the relevant GSM frequencies. The antenna or antenna application must be installed properly to achieve best performance. Table 2-24 gives the antenna interface specifications.

Figure 4-5: Optional MMCX Cable Assembly May 31, 2007 Module Hardware Description 65 G24 Mounting G24 Mounting The G24 incorporates 2 mechanical holes for installing the module onto the application board. The holes are 2.4 millimeters in diameter, which accommodates several types of mechanical elements. Several mechanical approaches may be applied to mount and fasten G24 to the application board. Using M2 screws with suitable washers to mount the module onto spacers, a bracket or chassis is a recommended design. Special attention must be paid to the area surrounding the G24 mounting holes. Several electrical components, which are not shielded, are located near the holes. These components must not be in contact with the mounting elements or with other parts of the application board, and care must be taken to avoid any damage. The holes are used for mechanical mounting of G24 to the application board but also for grounding support. Using conductive elements to install G24 significantly improves the overall grounding of the module and therefore improves the G24 performance and stability. It is required to use screws or other mechanical elements to fasten G24 to the application board, but it is highly recommended to use conductive elements to improve the module's performance. 66 Module Hardware Description May 31, 2007 Chapter 5: Service and Testing Service This section provides contact information for any possible queries that may arise, for example:
