Proprietary and Confidential 17 CDMA and GSM / UMTS Mini Card Hardware Integration Guide Note: The Product Specification Documents pin connection table describes the internal structure of the module. For example, a Mini Card standard-compliant host platform provides +3.3Vaux on pin 24, but this pin is not connected internally on the MC8775V. Thus, the pin is flagged as No connect.

Note: ESD protection is highly recommended for the USIM connector at the point where the contacts are exposed, and for any other signals from the host interface that would be subjected to ESD by the user of the product. Module power states Themodulehasfourpowerstates:
Disconnected Nopowertothemodule.
Off Powertothemodule,butthemoduleispoweredoff.
Normal Themoduleisactive.Severalmodesarepossible(Receive, Transmit,Sleep,Shutdown). Note: The module unit defaults to the Normal state when VCC3.3 is first applied in the absence of W_Disable# control. 18 In the event of a discrepancy in values between this guide and the Product Specification Document (PSD), the PSD takes precedence. Proprietary and Confidential 2130114 Note: The difference between the Disconnected and Off states is that, in the Off state, the module is still connected to the power source and draws minimal current. Note: The module enters the Off state if W_Disable# is driven low and power (Vcc) is applied to the module, or if the module is in a powered state and W_Disable#
is driven low for a module-
dependent minimum period. See State change: Power off / on on page 23 for details. Note: This is the default state when VCC3.3 is first applied in the absence of W_Disable#

Note: This is NOT an exhaustive list of design considerations. It is expected that you will employ good design practices and engineering principles in your integration. Table 7-1: Hardware integration design considerations Suggestion Section where discussed Component placement Protect the USIM socket so that the USIM cannot be removed while the host is powered up. If an ESD suppressor is not used, allow space on the USIM connector for series resistors in layout (up to 100 may be used depending on ESD testing requirements). USIM operation page 67 USIM operation page 67 Minimize RF cable losses as these affect the performance values listed in the product specification document. RF connection page 39 Antennas Match the module / antenna coax connections to 50 mismatched antenna impedance and cable loss negatively affects RF performance. RF connection page 39 If installing both the MC57xx and MC87xx in the same device, consider using separate antennas for maximum performance. Antenna and cabling page 40 Power Limit host power rail dips caused by module inrush current by adding sufficient capacitance to the host power rail. Inrush currents page 24 Make sure the power supply can handle the maximum current specified for the module type. Current consumption overview page 27 Limit the total impedance of VCC and GND connections to the USIM at the connector to less than 1 (including any trace impedance and lumped element components inductors, filters, etc.). All other lines must have a trace impedance less than 2 .

Proprietary and Confidential CDMA and GSM / UMTS Mini Card Hardware Integration Guide Table 7-1: Hardware integration design considerations (Continued) Suggestion Section where discussed Decouple the VCC line close to the USIM socket. The longer the trace length (impedance) from socket to module, the greater the capacitance requirement to meet compliance tests. USIM operation page 67 EMI / ESD Investigate sources of localized interference early in the design cycle. Methods to mitigate decreased Rx performance page 42 Provide ESD protection for the USIM connector at the exposed contact point (in particular, the CLK, VCC, IO, and RESET lines). USIM operation page 67 Keep very low capacitance traces on the XIM_DATA and XIM_CLK signals. To minimize noise leakage, establish a very good ground connection between the module and host. Ground connection page 39 Route cables away from noise sources (for example, power supplies, LCD assemblies, etc.). Shield high RF-emitting components of the host device (for example, main processor, parallel bus, etc.). Use discrete filtering on low frequency lines to filter out unwanted high-order harmonic energy. Use multi-layer PCBs to form shielding layers around high-speed clock traces. Methods to mitigate decreased Rx performance page 42 Methods to mitigate decreased Rx performance page 42 Methods to mitigate decreased Rx performance page 42 Methods to mitigate decreased Rx performance page 42 Thermal Test to worst case operating conditions temperature, voltage, and operation mode (transmitter on 100% duty cycle, maximum power).

Note: Sierra Wireless recommends using antenna efficiency as the primary parameter for evaluating the antenna system. Antenna Peak Gain is not a good indication of antenna performance when integrated with a host device; the antenna does NOT provide omni-directional gain patterns.
