VBAT directly supplies the power to RF circuit and baseband circuit. All four VBAT pins of SIM5360A must be used together. VBAT directly supplies the power to RF PA and baseband system. For the VBAT, the ripple due to GSM/GPRS emission burst (every 4.615msmay cause voltage drop, and the current consumption rises typically to peak of 2A. So the power supply must be able to provide sufficient current up to more than 2A. The following figure is the VBAT voltage ripple wave at the maximum power transmit phase. The test condition: VBAT =4.0V, VBAT maximum output current =2A, CA=100 F tantalum capacitor SIM5360A_User_Manual_V1.03 21 2014-07-03 Smart Machine Smart Decision

(ESR=0.7) and CB=1F(Please refer to Figure 8Application circuit). Figure 7: VBAT voltage drop during burst emission (GSM/GPRS) 3.1.1 Power Supply Pin Two VBAT pins are dedicated to connect the supply voltage. Table 4: Pin description Min 3.4 Pin name VBAT Pin type POWER Note:

1. When the module is power off, users must pay attention to the issue about current leakage. Refer to Chapter 3.10.2. Max 4.2 Unit V Typ 3.8 3.1.2 Design Guide Make sure that the input voltage at the VBAT pin will never drop below 3.3V even during a transmit burst when the current consumption rises up to more than 2A. If the power voltage drops below 3.3V, the module may be shut down automatically. Using large tantalum capacitors (above 100uF) will be the best way to reduce the voltage drops. If the power current cannot support up to 2A, users must introduce larger capacitor (typical 1000uF) to storage electric power, especially GPRS multiple time slots emission. For the consideration of RF performance and system stability, some multi-layer ceramic chip (MLCC) capacitors (0.1/1uF) need to be used for EMC because of their low ESR in high frequencies. Note that capacitors should be put beside VBAT pins as close as possible. Also User should minimize the PCB trace impedance from the power supply to the VBAT pins through widening the trace to 80 mil or more on the board. The following figure is the recommended circuit. In addition, in order to get a stable power source, it is suggested to use a zener diode of which reverse zener voltage is 5.1V and dissipation power is more than 500mW.

Power supply circuit We recommend DCDC or LDO is used for the power supply of the module, make sure that the peak current of power components can rise up to more than 2A. The following figure is the reference design of

+5V input power supply. The designed output for the power supply is 4.1V, here a linear regulator can be used. Figure 9: Reference circuit of the LDO power supply If there is a big difference between the input voltage and the desired output (VBAT), a switching converter SIM5360A_User_Manual_V1.03 23 2014-07-03 Smart Machine Smart Decision power will be preferable because of its better efficiency, especially at the high current situation. The following figure is the reference circuit. Note that DCDC may deprave RF performance because of ripple current intrinsically. Figure 10: Reference circuit of the DCDC power supply Voltage monitor To monitor the power supply voltage, user can use the AT command AT+CBC, this command has two parameters: the battery status and the voltage value (mV). It will return the capacity percentage and actual value of battery (at the VBAT pin). The voltage is continuously measured at intervals, whenever the measured battery voltage is lower than a specific value set by the AT command AT+CVALARM. For example, if the voltage value is set to be 3.4V, the following URC will be presented: warning! voltage is low: 3.3v. If the voltage is lower than a specific value which is set by the AT command AT+CPMVT, the module will be powered off automatically and AT commands cannot be executed any more. Note: Under-voltage warning function is disabled by default, user can enable it by the AT command AT+CVALARM. Please refer to Document [1]. 3.1.3 RTC Backup The module uses RTC (Real Time Clock) to update and maintain inherent time and keeps system alive at no power supply status. The RTC power supply of module can be provided by an external capacitor or a battery (non-chargeable or rechargeable) through the VRTC. The following figures show various reference circuits for RTC back up. The discharge current is less than 10uA. External capacitor backup SIM5360A_User_Manual_V1.03 24 2014-07-03 Smart Machine Smart Decision Figure 11: RTC supply from capacitor Non-chargeable battery backup Figure 12: RTC supply from non-chargeable battery Rechargeable battery backup Figure 13: RTC supply from rechargeable battery Coin-type rechargeable battery is recommended, such as ML414H-IV01E form Seiko can be used. Note: The VRTC can be disabled, jus disconnect it in application circuit.

POWERKEY pin is pulled up with a 200k ohm resistor to 1.8V in module. User can power on the SIM5360A by pulling the POWERKEY pin down for a short time. The power-on scenarios are illustrated in the following figures.

The module enters the POWER DOWN mode, only the RTC is still active. For details, refer to Document [1]. 3.3 UART Interface SIM5360A provides two UARTs (universal asynchronous serial transmission) port. UART1 consists of a flexible 7-wire serial interface. UART2 consists of 2-wire serial interface. The module is as the DCE (Data SIM5360A_User_Manual_V1.03 28 2014-07-03 Smart Machine Smart Decision Communication Equipment) and the client PC is as the DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). AT commands are entered and serial communication is performed through UART interface. In order to prevent the UART signals of the module damaged due to voltage spikes or ESD, series resistors can be used on UART signals. The application circuit is in the following figures. Figure 16: UART1 Full modem Figure 17: Null modem (UART1 and UART2) SIM5360A_User_Manual_V1.03 29 2014-07-03 Smart Machine Smart Decision 3.3.1 Pin Description Table 8: Pin description Pin type Pin name Pin No. I/O Default Status I O O I I O O I O Pull-Down Pull-Up Pull-Up Pull-Up Pull-Down Pull-Up UART1 RXD TXD RTS CTS DTR DCD RI 68 71 66 67 72 70 69 UART2 UART2_RXD 7 UART2_TXD 8 More pin information refers to chapter 2.2.

Normally it will keep high logic level until certain condition such as receiving SMS, voice call (CSD, video) or URC reporting, then RI will change to low logic level to inform the master (client PC). It will stay low until the master clears the interrupt event with AT command. SIM5360A_User_Manual_V1.03 30 2014-07-03 Smart Machine Smart Decision Figure 18: RI behaviour in NULL Modem If Full Modem is used to establish communication between devices, the pin RI is another operation status. Initially it keeps high, when a voice call or CSD call comes, the pin RI will change to low for about 5900ms, then it will return to high level for 100ms. It will repeat this procedure until this call is answered or hung up. Figure 19: RI behaviour in FULL Modem The SIM5360A UART is 1.8V interface. A level shifter should be used if users application is equipped with a 3.3V UART interface. The level shifter TXB0108RGYR provided by Texas Instruments is recommended. The reference design of the TXB0108RGYR is in the following figures. SIM5360A_User_Manual_V1.03 31 2014-07-03 Smart Machine Smart Decision Figure 20: Reference circuit of level shift To comply with RS-232-C protocol, the RS-232-C level shifter chip should be used to connect SIM5360A to the RS-232-C interface. In this connection, the TTL level and RS-232-C level are converted mutually. SIMCom recommends that user uses the SP3238ECA chip with a full modem. For more information please refers to the RS-232-C chip datasheet. Note: SIM5360A supports the baud rate: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600, 3200000, 3686400, 4000000bps.

When the bus is free, both lines are high. 3.6.3 Design Guide For SIM5360, the data on the I2C bus can be transferred at rates up to 400kbps. The number of peripheral devices connected to the bus is solely dependent on the bus capacitance limit of 400pF. Note that PCB traces length and bending are in users control to minimize load capacitance. NoteSDA and SCL have none pulled up resistors in module.

Currently SIM5360A supports the USB suspend and resume mechanism which can help to save power. If no transaction is on USB bus, SIM5360A will enter suspend mode. When some events such as voice call or receiving SMS happen, SIM5360A will resume normal mode automatically. Figure 25: USB interface SIM5360A_User_Manual_V1.03 39 2014-07-03 Smart Machine Smart Decision Because of high bit rate on USB bus, pay attention to influence of junction capacitance of ESD component on USB data lines. Typically, the capacitance should be less than 4pF @1MHz. It is recommended to use an ESD protection component such as ON SEMI (www.onsemi.com ) ESD9M5.0ST5G or ESD9L5.0ST5G.

GPIO4 Status Low Level High Level Note1. For SIM5360, GPIO0, GPIO2, GPIO3 and GPIO5 have multiplex function, user can use them as PCM interface to connect extend codec. Refer to section 3.11 and document [1] for details. 2. When the module is powered off, make sure all digital interfaces (PCM UART, etc) connected with peripheral devices have no voltage higher than 0.3V. If users design cannot meet above conditions, high level voltages maybe occur in GPIO pins because current leakage from above digital interfaces may occur. 3.11 PCM Interface SIM5360A provides hardware PCM interface for external codec. The PCM interface enables communication with an external codec to support hands-free applications. SIM5360A PCM interface can be used in two modes: the default mode is auxiliary PCM (8 KHz long sync mode at 128 KHz PCM CLK);

the other mode is primary PCM (8 KHz short sync mode at 2048 KHz PCM CLK). In short-sync

(primary PCM) mode, SIM5360A can be a master or a slave. In long-sync (auxiliary PCM) mode, SIM5360A is always a master. SIM5360A also supports 3 kinds of coding formats: 8 bits (-law or A-law) and 16 bits (linear). Note: PCM interface is multiplexed from GPIO (default setting). The AT command AT+CPCM is used to switch between PCM and GPIO functions. Please refer to document [21] and document [1] for details.

The data changes on the high level of PCM_CLK and is sampled at the falling edge of PCM_CLK in one period. Primary PCM is disabled after every power-on or every reset event. So user must use AT command to enable the primary PCM mode after powering on or resetting the module every time if user wants to use Primary PCM.SIM5360A PCM Interface can be operated in Master or Slave mode if it is configured to primary PCM. In Master Mode, the Module drives the clock and sync signals that are sent to the external codec. When it is in Slave Mode, the external codec drives the clock and sync signals which are sent to the module. Both PCM modes are discussed in this section followed by additional PCM topics. Auxiliary PCM (128 KHz PCM clock)

-law coding is supported by the auxiliary PCM. The auxiliary codec port operates with standard long-sync timing and a 128 KHz clock. The AUX_PCM_SYNC runs at 8 KHz with 50% duty cycle. Most -law codec support the 128 KHz clock.

A-GPS includes mobile-assisted and mobile-based mode. In mobile-assisted mode, when a request for position location is issued, available network information is provided to the location server (e.g. Cell-ID) and assistance is requested from the location server. The location server sends the assistance information to the handset. The handset/mobile unit measures the GNSS observables and provides the GNSS measurements along with available network data (that is appropriate for the given air interface technology) to the location server. The location server then calculates the position location and returns results to the requesting entity. In mobile-based mode, the assistant data provided by the location server encompasses not only the information required to assist the handset in measuring the satellite signals, but also the information required to calculate the handsets position. Therefore, rather than provide the GNSS measurements and available network data back to the location server, the mobile calculates the location on the handset and passes the result to the requesting entity. In standalone (autonomous) mode, the handset demodulates the data directly from the GNSS satellites. This mode has some reduced cold-start sensitivity, and a longer time to first fix as compared to the assisted modes. However, it requires no server interaction and works out of network coverage. This combination of GNSS measurements and available network information provides:

High-sensitivity solution that works in all terrains: Indoor, outdoor, urban, and rural High availability that is enabled by using both satellite and network information Therefore, while network solutions typically perform poorly in rural areas and areas of poor cell geometry/density, and while unassisted, GNSS-only solutions typically perform poorly indoors. The SIM5360A GNSS solution provides optimal time to fix, accuracy, sensitivity, availability, and reduced network utilization in both of these environments, depending on the given condition. 3.12.3 Application Guide Users can adopt an active antenna or a passive antenna as GNSS signal transceiver. In this document, all GNSS specification mentioned is from passive antenna. The following is the reference circuit.

In active antenna circuit, users must use an external LDO/DCDC to provide VDD voltage whose value should be taken according active antenna characteristic, and VDD can be shut down to avoid consuming additional current when not being used. GNSS can be used by NMEA port. User can select NMEA as output through UART or USB. NMEA sentences are automatic and no command is provided. NMEA sentences include GSV, GGA, RMC, GSA, and VTG. Before using GNSS, user should configure SIM5360A in proper operating mode by AT command. Please refer to related document for details. SIM5360A can also get position location information through AT directly. Note: GNSS is closed by default, it could be started by AT+CGPS. The AT command has two parameters, the first is on/off, and the second is GNSS mode. Default mode is standalone mode.

This function is used as an emergency reset only when AT command AT+CPOF and the POWERKEY pin has no effect. User can pull the RESET pin to ground, then the module will reset. This pin is already pulled up in module, so the external pull-up resistor is not necessary. A 100nF capacitor close to the RESET pin is strongly recommended.

No antenna gain may be used that would exceed the 2W EIRP power limit in 1900MHz band.The input impendence of the antenna should be 50, and the VSWR should be less than 2. SIMCom recommends that the total insertion loss between the antenna pad and antenna should meet the following requirements:

The following figure is the recommended circuit. GND MAIN_ANT GND 60 59 58 MODULE Matching circuit Antenna feed pad R1 C1 R2 C2 J1 Figure 39: Antenna matching circuit (MAIN_ANT) In this figure, the components R1,C1,C2 and R2 is used for antenna matching, the value of components can only be got after the antenna tuning, usually, they are provided by antenna vendor. By default, the R1, R2 are 0 ohm resistors, and the C1, C2 are reserved for tuning. The RF test connector in the figure is used for the conducted RF performance test, and should be placed as close as to the modules antenna pin. The traces impedance between components must be controlled in 50ohm. Matching circuit Antenna feed pad DIV_ANT GND 82 58 MODULE R3 C3 R5 C5 J3 Figure 40: Antenna matching circuit (DIV_ANT) In above figure, the components R3,C3,C5 and R5 is used for diversity antenna matching. The method of antenna tuning is same as MAIN_ANT. SIM5360A_User_Manual_V1.03 56 2014-07-03 Smart Machine Smart Decision Contact us:
