Manufacturers of the cellular terminal should notify users and operating personnel of the following safety information by incorporating these guidelines into all manuals of the product. Otherwise, Quectel assumes no liability for customers failure to comply with these precautions. Full attention must be paid to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident. Using a mobile while driving (even with a handsfree kit) causes distraction and can lead to an accident. Please comply with laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving. Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communication systems. If there is an Airplane Mode, it should be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft. Please consult the airline staff for more restrictions on the use of wireless devices on an aircraft. Wireless devices may cause interference on sensitive medical equipment, so please be aware of the restrictions on the use of wireless devices when in hospitals, clinics or other healthcare facilities. Cellular terminals or mobiles operating over radio signal and cellular network cannot be guaranteed to connect in certain conditions, such as when the mobile bill is unpaid or the (U)SIM card is invalid. When emergency help is needed in such conditions, use emergency call if the device supports it. In order to make or receive a call, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength. In an emergency, the device with emergency call function cannot be used as the only contact method considering network connection cannot be guaranteed under all circumstances. The cellular terminal or mobile contains a transceiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency signals. RF interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or other electric equipment. In locations with explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs and turn off wireless devices such as mobile phone or other cellular terminals. Areas with explosive or potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.

For portable devices, in addition to the conditions 3 through 6 described above, a separate approval is required to satisfy the SAR requirements of FCC Part 2.1093 If the device is used for other equipment that separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to 2.1093 and different antenna configurations. For this device, OEM integrators must be provided with labeling instructions of finished products. Please refer to KDB784748 D01 v07, section 8. Page 6/7 last two paragraphs:
A certified modular has the option to use a permanently affixed label, or an electronic label. For a permanently affixed label, the module must be labeled with an FCC ID - Section 2.926 (see 2.2 Certification (labeling requirements) above). The OEM manual must provide clear instructions explaining to the OEM the labeling requirements, options and OEM user manual instructions that are required (see next paragraph). For a host using a certified modular with a standard fixed label, if (1) the modules FCC ID is not visible when installed in the host, or (2) if the host is marketed so that end users do not have straightforward commonly used methods for access to remove the module so that the FCC ID of the module is visible;
then an additional permanent label referring to the enclosed module:
SC206E-WF: Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XMR2022SC206EWF or Contains FCC ID:
XMR2022SC206EWF The host OEM user manual must also contain clear instructions on how end users can find and/or access the module and the FCC ID. The final host / module combination may also need to be evaluated against the FCC Part 15B criteria for SC206E_Series_Hardware_Design 13 / 116 Smart Module Series unintentional radiators in order to be properly authorized for operation as a Part 15 digital device. The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes, or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. In cases where the manual is provided only in a form other than paper, such as on a computer disk or over the Internet, the information required by this section may be included in the manual in that alternative form, provided the user can reasonably be expected to have the capability to access information in that form. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the users authority to operate the equipment. To ensure compliance with all non-transmitter functions the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring compliance with the module(s) installed and fully operational. For example, if a host was previously authorized as an unintentional radiator under the Suppliers Declaration of Conformity procedure without a transmitter certified module and a module is added, the host manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the after the module is installed and operational the host continues to be compliant with the Part 15B unintentional radiator requirements. Class B digital device This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Manual Information to the End User The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the users manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual. IC Statement IRSS-GEN

Keep all RESERVED and unused pins unconnected. 2. Connect all GND pins to ground. 3.4. Power Supply 3.4.1. Power Supply Pins The module provides four VBAT pins for connection with external power supply. 3.4.2. Voltage Stability Requirements The power supply range of the module is 3.554.4 V, and the recommended value is 3.8 V. The power supply performance, such as load capacity, voltage ripple, etc. will directly influences the modules performance and stability. Under ultimate conditions, the transient peak current of the module may surge up to 3 A. If the power supply capacity is not sufficient, there will be a risk that the module may power off automatically if the voltage drops below 3.1 V. Therefore, make sure the input voltage never drops below 3.1 V. SC206E_Series_Hardware_Design 36 / 116 Smart Module Series Figure 3: Power Supply Limits During Burst Transmission To decrease voltage drop, use a bypass capacitor of about 100 F with low ESR (ESR 0.7 ), and reserve a multi-layer ceramic chip capacitor (MLCC) array due to its ultra-low ESR. It is recommended to use three ceramic capacitors (100 nF, 33 pF, 10 pF) to compose the MLCC array and place these capacitors close to VBAT pins. Additionally, add a 4.7 F capacitor in parallel. The main power supply from an external application has to be a single voltage source and can be expanded to two sub paths with star structure. The width of VBAT trace should be no less than 3 mm. In principle, the longer the VBAT trace is, the wider it should be. In addition, to guarantee the stability of the power source, please use a TVS and place it as close to the VBAT pins as possible to enhance surge protection. The following figure shows the star topology of the power supply. Figure 4: Reference Circuit for Power Supply SC206E_Series_Hardware_Design 37 / 116 Power Supply (V)Burst TransmissionRippleDropBurst TransmissionLoad (A)ModuleVBATVBATC1100 F+C3100 nFC433 pFC510 pFD1C24.7 FGND Smart Module Series 3.4.3. Reference Design for Power Supply The power design for the module is very important, as the performance of the module largely depends on the power source. The power supply of the module should be able to provide sufficient current of 3 A at least. If the voltage difference between the input and output is not too big, use an LDO when supplying power to the module. If there is a big voltage difference between the input source and the desired output
(VBAT), a buck converter is recommended. The following figure shows a reference design for +5 V input power source. The typical output voltage is 3.8 V and the maximum load current is 5.0 A. Figure 5: Reference Circuit of Power Supply NOTE 1. In an abnormal state, it is recommended to restart the module by switching off and then switching back on the power supply. 2. The module supports battery charging by default. If the above power supply design is adopted, disable the charging function by software, or connect VBAT to a Schottky diode in series to avoid the reverse current to the power supply IC.

Turn On with PWRKEY The module can be turned on by driving the PWRKEY pin low for at least 1.6 s. The PWRKEY pin is pulled up to 1.1 V internally. It is recommended to use an open collector driver to control PWRKEY. A simple reference circuit is illustrated in the following figure. Figure 6: Turn On the Module with Open Collector Driver Another way to control PWRKEY is by using a button directly. You must place a TVS nearby the button for ESD protection. A reference circuit is shown by the following figure.

Smart Module Series Figure 8: Turn-on Timing NOTE 1. When the module is turned on for the first time, the turn-on timing may be different from that shown above. 2. Make sure that VBAT is stable before pulling down PWRKEY. It is recommended to wait until VBAT is stable at 3.8 V for at least 30 ms before pulling down PWRKEY. Additionally, do not keep pulling PWRKEY down all the time.

Turn Off Drive the PWRKEY pin low for at least 1 s, and then choose to turn off the module when the prompt window comes up. You can also force the module to turn off by driving PWRKEY low for at least 8 s. The forced turn-off timing is illustrated by the following figure. Figure 9: Forced Turn-off Timing 3.6. VRTC The RTC (Real Time Clock) can be powered by an external power source through VRTC when the module is powered down and there is no power supplied to VBAT. The external power source can be a rechargeable battery (such as a coin cell) according to application demands. A reference circuit design is shown below. Figure 10: RTC Powered by Coin Cell If RTC is ineffective, it can be synchronized through the network after the module is turned on.

The module supports battery charging. The battery charger IC in the module supports trickle charging, constant current charging and constant voltage charging modes, which optimize the charging procedure for Li-ion batteries. Trickle charging: There are two steps in this mode. When the battery voltage is below 2.1 V, a 90 mA trickle charging current is applied to the battery. When the battery voltage is charged up and is between 2.1 V and 3.4 V, the charging current can be set to 400 mA maximally. Constant current mode (CC mode): When the battery is increased to 3.4 to 4.35 V, the system will switch to CC mode. The maximum charging current is 1.85 A when an adapter is used for battery charging, and the maximum charging current is 450 mA for USB charging. Constant voltage mode (CV mode): When the battery voltage reaches the final value 4.35 V, the system will switch to CV mode and the charging current will decrease gradually. When the battery level reaches 100 %, charging is completed.

If the BAT_THERM pin is not connected, there will be malfunctions such as battery charging failure, battery level display error, etc. The battery charge temperature range varies with different types of batteries. A reference design for the battery charging circuit is shown below. Figure 11: Reference Design for Battery Charging Circuit Mobile devices such as mobile phones or handheld POS systems are powered by batteries.

Otherwise, exceptions in voltage detection will be caused, with associated problems of turn-on/off and battery charging/discharging. 3.9. USB Interface (Type-C) The module provides one USB interface which complies with both USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 2.0 specifications and supports SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) and high-speed (480 Mbps), and full-speed (12 Mbps) modes. The USB interface supports USB OTG and is used for AT command transmission, data transmission, software debugging and firmware upgrade. The module only supports USB Type-C. The USB interface has one USB 2.0 compliant high-speed differential channel (USB_DP, USB_DM) and one USB 3.1 compliant SuperSpeed differential channel
(USB_SS1_RX_P/M, USB_SS1_TX_P/M and USB_SS2_RX_P/M, USB_SS2_TX_P/M). When Type-C is plugged in with one side up, the external device is detected by USB_CC1, and the data will be transmitted through USB_SS1; when it is plugged in with the other side up, the external device is detected by USB_CC2, and the data will be transmitted through USB_SS2.

Route the USB signal traces as a differential pair with total grounding. The impedance of USB differential trace should be controlled to 90 . Keep the ESD protection component as close as possible to the USB connector. Pay attention to the influence of junction capacitance of ESD protection component on USB data lines. Typically, the capacitance value should be less than 2 pF for USB 2.0 and less than 0.5 pF for USB 3.1. Do not route signal traces under crystals, oscillators, magnetic devices or RF signal traces. Route the USB differential traces in inner-layer of the PCB, and surround the traces with ground on that layer and with ground planes above and below. Make sure the intra-pair length difference within USB 2.0 differential pair does not exceed 2 mm, and that within USB 3.1 Rx or Tx differential pair does not exceed 0.7 mm. The spacing between USB signals and all other signals should be at least 4 times the trace width while the spacing between Rx and Tx should be at least 3 times the trace width.

Place the (U)SIM card connector as close to the module as possible. Keep the trace length as short as possible, at most 200 mm. Keep (U)SIM card signals away from RF and VBAT traces. Reserve a filter capacitor for USIM_VDD, and its maximum capacitance should not exceed 1 F. Additionally, place the capacitor near the (U)SIM card connector. To avoid cross-talk between USIM_DATA and USIM_CLK, keep them away from each other and shield them with ground. USIM_RST also needs ground protection. To ensure better ESD protection, it is recommended to add a TVS array with a parasitic capacitance not exceeding 10 pF. Add 22 resistors in series between the module and (U)SIM card to suppress EMI such as spurious transmission and improve ESD protection. Please note that the (U)SIM peripheral circuit should be close to the (U)SIM card connector. Add 22 pF capacitors in parallel on USIM_DATA, USIM_CLK and USIM_RST signal traces to filter RF interference, and place them as close to the (U)SIM card connector as possible. 3.12.

Smart Module Series Figure 17: Reference Circuit for the SD Card Interface SD_LDO21 is the power supply for the SD card and can provide up to 841 mA output current. Due to the high output current, it is recommended that the trace width should be at least 0.8 mm. To ensure output current stability, add a 4.7 F and a 33 pF capacitor in parallel near the SD card connector. SD_CMD, SD_CLK, SD_DATA0, SD_DATA1, SD_DATA2, and SD_DATA3 are all high-speed signal lines. In PCB design, control the characteristic impedance of them to 50 , and do not cross them with other traces. It is recommended to route the traces on the inner layer of the PCB and keep them of the same length. Additionally, SD_CLK needs ground shielding separately. Trace length requirements:
Control the impedance to 50 10 % and add ground shielding. Keep the trace length difference among SD_CLK, SD_CMD and SD_DATA less than 2 mm.

MIPI Design Considerations Special attention should be paid to the pin definition of LCM and camera connectors. Make sure the module and the connectors are correctly connected. MIPI lines are high-speed signal lines for DSI-supported maximum data rate of up to 1.5 Gbps and CSI-supported maximum data rate of up to 2.5 Gbps. The differential impedance should be controlled to 100 . Additionally, it is recommended to route the trace on the inner layer of PCB, and do not cross it with other traces. For the same group of DSI or CSI signals, keep all the MIPI traces of the same length. In order to avoid crosstalk, keep a distance of 1.5 times the trace width among MIPI signal lines. During impedance matching, do not connect GND on different planes to ensure impedance consistency. It is recommended to select a low-capacitance TVS for ESD protection and the recommended parasitic capacitance should be below 1 pF. Route MIPI traces according to the following rules:
a) The total trace length should not exceed 240 mm;
b) Control the differential impedance to 100 10 %;
c) Control intra-lane length difference within 0.7 mm;
d) Control inter-lane length difference within 1.4 mm.

Audio Signal Design Considerations It is recommended to use the ECM microphone with dual built-in capacitors (e.g., 10 pF and 33 pF) to filter out RF interference, thus reducing TDD noise. The 33 pF capacitor is applied to filter out RF interference when the module is transmitting at EGSM900. The 10 pF capacitor is used to filter out RF interference at DCS1800. Without this capacitor, TDD noise could be heard during voice calls.

Therefore, you should consult the capacitor vendors to choose the most suitable capacitor to filter out the high-frequency noises. The severity of RF interference in the voice channel during GSM transmitting largely depends on the application design. In some cases, EGSM900 TDD noise is more severe; while in other cases, DCS1800 TDD noise is more obvious. Therefore, you should select a suitable capacitor according to the test results. Sometimes, even no RF filtering capacitor is required. In order to decrease radio or other signal interference, place RF antennas away from audio interfaces and audio traces. Additionally, keep power traces far away from the audio traces and do not route them in parallel. Route the differential audio traces according to the differential signal layout rule. 3.23. USB_BOOT Control Interface USB_BOOT is an emergency download interface. You can force the module to enter emergency download mode by pulling it up to LDO15A_1V8 when the module is turning on. This is an emergency option when failures such as abnormal start-up or running occur. For firmware upgrade and debugging in the future, reserve the following reference design.

SC206E_Series_Hardware_Design 75 / 116 Smart Module Series 5.2. Reference Design Bad design of antenna and layout may cause reduced GNSS receiving sensitivity, longer GNSS positioning time, or reduced positioning accuracy. In order to avoid this, follow the reference design rules as below:
Maximize the distance between the GNSS RF part and the GPRS RF part (including trace routing and antenna layout) to avoid mutual interference. In user systems, place GNSS RF signal lines and RF components far away from high-speed circuits, switch-mode power supplies, power inductors, the clock circuit of single-chip microcomputers, etc. For applications with harsh electromagnetic environment or high ESD protection requirements, it is recommended to add ESD protective diodes for the antenna interface. The junction capacitance of the diodes should be less than 0.5 pF. Otherwise, it will influence the impedance characteristic of RF circuit loop, or cause attenuation of bypass RF signals. Control the impedance of feeder lines and PCB traces to 50 , and keep the trace as short as possible. See Chapter 6.3 for reference circuit designs of GNSS antenna. SC206E_Series_Hardware_Design 76 / 116 Smart Module Series 6 Antenna Interfaces C206E-EM/-NA provide four antenna interfaces for the main, Rx-diversity, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, and GNSS antennas respectively, while SC206E-WF provides one antenna interface for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenna only. The impedance of the antenna ports should be controlled to 50 . Appropriate antenna type and design should be used with matched antenna parameters according to specific application. It is required to perform a comprehensive functional test for the RF design before mass production of terminal products. The entire content of this chapter is provided for illustration only. Analysis, evaluation and determination are still necessary when designing target products. 6.1.

Reference Circuit Design for Passive GNSS Antenna GNSS antenna interface supports passive ceramic antennas and other types of passive antennas. A reference circuit design is given below. Figure 31: Reference Circuit Design for Passive GNSS Antenna SC206E_Series_Hardware_Design 81 / 116 Passive AntennaModuleANT_GNSSNMC1C2C3NMR10 Smart Module Series NOTE It is not recommended to add an external LNA when using a passive GNSS antenna. 6.3.2. Reference Circuit Design for Active GNSS Antenna In any case, it is recommended to use a passive antenna. If active antenna is indeed needed in your application, it is recommended to reserve a -type attenuation circuit provision and use high-
performance LDO as the power supply. The active antenna is powered by a 56 nH inductor through the antenna's signal path. The common power supply voltage ranges from 3.3 V to 5.0 V. Despite its low power consumption, the active antenna still requires stable and clean power supplies. Therefore, it is recommended to use high-performance LDO as the power supply. A reference design for active GNSS antenna is shown below. Figure 32: Reference Circuit Design for Active GNSS Antenna NOTE It is recommended to use a passive GNSS antenna when LTE B13 or B14 is supported, as the use of active antenna may generate harmonics which will affect the GNSS performance.

RF Routing Guidelines For users PCB, the characteristic impedance of all RF traces should be controlled to 50 . The impedance of the RF traces is usually determined by the trace width (W), the materials dielectric constant, the height from the reference ground to the signal layer (H), and the spacing between RF traces and grounds (S). Microstrip or coplanar waveguide is typically used in RF layout to control characteristic impedance. The following are reference designs of microstrip or coplanar waveguide with different PCB structures. Figure 33: Microstrip Design on a 2-layer PCB Figure 34: Coplanar Waveguide Design on a 2-layer PCB Figure 35: Coplanar Waveguide Design on a 4-layer PCB (Layer 3 as Reference Ground) SC206E_Series_Hardware_Design 83 / 116 Smart Module Series Figure 36: Coplanar Waveguide Design on a 4-layer PCB (Layer 4 as Reference Ground) To ensure RF performance and reliability, follow the principles below in RF layout design:
Use an impedance simulation tool to accurately control the characteristic impedance of RF traces to 50 . The GND pins adjacent to RF pins should not be designed as thermal relief pads, and should be fully connected to ground. The distance between the RF pins and the RF connector should be as short as possible and all the right-angle traces should be changed to curved ones. The recommended trace angle is 135. There should be clearance under the signal pin of the antenna connector or solder joint. The reference ground of RF traces should be complete. Meanwhile, adding some ground vias around RF traces and the reference ground could help to improve RF performance. The distance between the ground vias and RF traces should be not less than twice the width of RF signal traces
(2 W). Keep RF traces away from interference sources and avoid intersection and paralleling between traces on adjacent layers. For more details about RF layout, see document [3]. 6.5.

-96.5 7.8. ESD Protection Static electricity occurs naturally and it may damage the module. Therefore, applying proper ESD countermeasures and handling methods is imperative. For example, wear anti-static gloves during the development, production, assembly and testing of the module; add ESD protection components to the ESD sensitive interfaces and points in the product design. The following table shows the electrostatic discharge characteristics of the module. SC206E_Series_Hardware_Design 98 / 116 Smart Module Series Table 56: Electrostatic Discharge Characteristics (Temperature: 25 C, Humidity: 45 %) Tested Interfaces Contact Discharge Air Discharge Unit VBAT, GND Antenna Interfaces 5 5 Other Interfaces 0.5 10 10 1 kV kV kV SC206E_Series_Hardware_Design 99 / 116 Smart Module Series 8 Mechanical Information This chapter describes the mechanical dimensions of the module.

For authentic appearance and label, please refer to the module received from Quectel. SC206E_Series_Hardware_Design 103 / 116 Smart Module Series 9 Storage, Manufacturing & Packaging 9.1. Storage Conditions The module is provided with vacuum-sealed packaging. MSL of the module is rated as 3. The storage requirements are shown below. 1. Recommended Storage Condition: the temperature should be 23 5 C and the relative humidity should be 3560 %. 2. Shelf life (in a vacuum-sealed packaging): 12 months in Recommended Storage Condition. 3. Floor life: 168 hours 7 in a factory where the temperature is 23 5 C and relative humidity is below 60 %. After the vacuum-sealed packaging is removed, the module must be processed in reflow soldering or other high-temperature operations within 168 hours. Otherwise, the module should be stored in an environment where the relative humidity is less than 10 % (e.g., a dry cabinet). 4. The module should be pre-baked to avoid blistering, cracks and inner-layer separation in PCB under the following circumstances:
The module is not stored in Recommended Storage Condition;
Violation of the third requirement mentioned above;
Vacuum-sealed packaging is broken, or the packaging has been removed for over 24 hours;
Before module repairing. 5. If needed, the pre-baking should follow the requirements below:
The module should be baked for 8 hours at 120 5 C;
The module must be soldered to PCB within 24 hours after the baking, otherwise it should be put in a dry environment such as in a dry cabinet. 7 This floor life is only applicable when the environment conforms to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033. It is recommended to start the solder reflow process within 24 hours after the package is removed if the temperature and moisture do not conform to, or are not sure to conform to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033. And do not remove the packages of tremendous modules if they are not ready for soldering. SC206E_Series_Hardware_Design 104 / 116 Smart Module Series NOTE 1. To avoid blistering, layer separation and other soldering issues, extended exposure of the module to the air is forbidden. 2. Take out the module from the package and put it on high-temperature-resistant fixtures before baking. If shorter baking time is desired, see IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 for the baking procedure. 3. Pay attention to ESD protection, such as wearing anti-static gloves, when touching the modules. 9.2. Manufacturing and Soldering Push the squeegee to apply the solder paste on the surface of stencil, thus making the paste fill the stencil openings and then penetrate to the PCB. Apply proper force on the squeegee to produce a clean stencil surface on a single pass. To guarantee module soldering quality, the thickness of stencil for the module is recommended to be 0.180.20 mm. For more details, see document [4]. The peak reflow temperature should be 235246 C, with 246 C as the absolute maximum reflow temperature. To avoid damage to the module caused by repeated heating, it is strongly recommended that the module should be mounted only after reflow soldering for the other side of PCB has been completed. The recommended reflow soldering thermal profile (lead-free reflow soldering) and related parameters are shown below.

If a conformal coating is necessary for the module, do NOT use any coating material that may chemically react with the PCB or shielding cover, and prevent the coating material from flowing into the module. 2. Avoid using ultrasonic technology for module cleaning since it can damage crystals inside the module. 3. Due to the complexity of the SMT process, please contact Quectel Technical Support in advance for any situation that you are not sure about, or any process (e.g., selective soldering, ultrasonic soldering) that is not mentioned in document [4].
