The 4 VBAT pads supply the power to RF and baseband circuits directly. On VBAT pads, the ripple current up to 2A typically, due to GSM/GPRS emission burst (every 4.615ms), may cause voltage drop. So the power supply for these pads must be able to provide sufficient current up to more than 2A in order to avoid the voltage drop is more than 300mV. The following figure shows the VBAT voltage ripple wave at the maximum power transmit phase. Figure 5: VBAT voltage drop during burst emission (GSM/GPRS) Note: The test condition: The voltage of power supply for VBAT is 3.8V, Cd=100 F tantalum capacitor (ESR=0.7) and Cf=100nF (Please refer to Figure 6Application circuit).

If the voltage drops below 3.4V, the RF performance may be affected. Note: If the power supply for VBAT pins can support up to 2A, more than 300uF capacitors are recommended .Otherwise users must use a total of 1000uF capacitors typically, in order to avoid of the voltage drop more than 300mV. Some multi-layer ceramic chip (MLCC) capacitors (0.1/1uF) with low ESR in high frequency band can be used for EMC. These capacitors should be put as close as possible to VBAT pads. Also, users should keep VBAT trace on circuit board wider than 2 mm to minimize PCB trace impedance. The following figure shows the recommended circuit. Recommend Bead for vbat filter is BLM21PG300SN1D and MPZ2012S221A Figure 6: Power supply application circuit In addition, in order to guard for over voltage protection, it is suggested to use TVS. Note: user could only power pin 62, 63 or only power pin 38, 39, for these pins are connected inside the MODULE.

SIM7600NA_user manual _V1.00 24 2020-1-7 Smart Machine Smart Decision 3.1.2 Recommended Power Supply Circuit It is recommended that a switching mode power supply or a linear regulator power supply is used. It is important to make sure that all the components used in the power supply circuit can resist a peak current up to 2A. The following figure shows the linear regulator reference circuit with 5V input and 3.8V output. D N G Figure 7: Linear regulator reference circuit If there is a big voltage difference between input and output for VBAT power supply, or the efficiency is extremely important, then a switching mode power supply will be preferable. The following figure shows the switching mode power supply reference circuit. Figure 8: Switching mode power supply reference circuit Note: The Switching Mode power supply solution for VBAT must be chosen carefully against Electro Magnetic Interference and ripple current from depraving RF performance. 3.1.3 Voltage Monitor To monitor the VBAT voltage, the AT command AT+CBC can be used. For monitoring the VBAT voltage outside or within a special range, the AT command AT+CVALARM can be used to enable the under-voltage warning function. If users need to power off MODULE, when the VBAT voltage is out of a range, the AT command AT+CPMVT can be used to enable under-voltage power-off function. Note: Under-voltage warning function and under-voltage power-off function are disabled by default. For more information about these AT commands, please refer to Document [1]. SIM7600NA_user manual _V1.00 25 2020-1-7 Smart Machine Smart Decision 3.2 Power on/Power off/Reset Function 3.2.1 Power on MODULE can be powered on by pulling the PWRKEY pin down to ground. The PWRKEY pin has been pulled up with a diode to 1.8V internally, so it does not need to be pulled up externally. It is strongly recommended to put a100nF capacitor, an ESD protection diode, close to the PWRKEY pin as it would strongly enhance the ESD performance of PWRKEY pin. Please refer to the following figure for the recommended reference circuit.

(Data Communication Equipment). AT commands and data transmission can be performed through UART interface. 3.3.1 UART Design Guide The following figures show the reference design. SIM7600NA_user manual _V1.00 29 2020-1-7 Smart Machine Smart Decision Figure 13: UART full modem Figure 14: UART null modem The MODULE UART is 1.8V voltage interface. If users UART application circuit is 3.3V voltage interface, the level shifter circuits should be used for voltage matching. The TXB0108RGYR provided by Texas Instruments is recommended. The following figure shows the voltage matching reference design. Figure 15: Reference circuit of level shift User can use another level shifter circuits as follow SIM7600NA_user manual _V1.00 30 2020-1-7 Smart Machine Smart Decision Figure 16: level matching circuit To comply with RS-232-C protocol, the RS-232-C level shifter chip should be used to connect MODULE to the RS-232-C interface, for example SP3238ECA, etc. Note1: User needs to use high speed transistors such as MMBT3904. Note2: MODULE supports the following baud rates: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600, 3200000, 3686400, 4000000bps. The default band rate is 115200bps. 3.3.2 RI and DTR Behavior The RI pin can be used to interrupt output signal to inform the host controller such as application CPU. Normally RI will keep high level until certain conditions such as receiving SMS, or a URC report coming, and then it will change to low level. Figure 17: RI behaviourSMS and URC report SIM7600NA_user manual _V1.00 31 2020-1-7 Smart Machine Smart Decision Normally RI will be kept at a high level until a voice call, then it will output periodic rectangular wave with 5900ms low level and 100ms high level. It will output this kind of periodic rectangular wave until the call is answered or hung up. Figure 18 : RI behaviourvoice call Note: For more details of AT commands about UART, please refer to document [1] and [22]. DTR pin can be used to wake MODULE from sleep. When MODULE enters sleep mode, pulling down DTR can wake MODULE. 3.4 USB Interface The MODULE contains a USB interface compliant with the USB2.0 specification as a peripheral, but the USB charging function is not supported. MODULE can be used as a USB device. MODULE supports the USB suspend and resume mechanism which can reduce power consumption. If there is no data transmission on the USB bus, MODULE will enter suspend mode automatically, and will be resumed by some events such as voice call, receiving SMS, etc. v Figure 19: USB reference circuit SIM7600NA_user manual _V1.00 32 2020-1-7 Smart Machine Smart Decision Because of the high bit rate on USB bus, more attention should be paid to the influence of the junction capacitance of the ESD component on USB data lines. Typically, the capacitance should be less than 1pF. It is recommended to use an ESD protection component such as ESD9L5.0ST5G provided by On Semiconductor (www.onsemi.com ). D3 is suggested to select the diode with anti-ESD and voltage surge function, or user could add a TVS for surge clamping. The recommend TVS please refer to table 7. NoteThe USB_DN and USB_DP nets must be traced by 90Ohm+/-10% differential impedance. 3.5 HSIC interface HSIC is a 2-signal source synchronous serial interface which uses 240MHz DDR signaling to provide High-Speed 480Mbps USB transfers which are 100% host driver compatible with traditional USB cable-connected topologies. Full-Speed (FS) and Low-Speed (LS) USB transfers are not directly supported by the HSIC interface (a HSIC enabled hub can provide FS and LS support, as well as IC_USB support) The differences between HSIC and USB2.0 are listed below:

<0.5dB

<0.9dB

<1.2dB To facilitate the antenna tuning and certification test, a RF connector and an antenna matching circuit should be added. The following figure is the recommended circuit. SIM7600NA_user manual _V1.00 50 2020-1-7 Smart Machine Smart Decision Figure35: Antenna matching circuit (MAIN_ANT) In above figure, the components R1, C1, C2 and R2 are used for antenna matching, the values of components can only be achieved after the antenna tuning and usually provided by antenna vendor. By default, the R1, R2 are 0 resistors, and the C1, C2 are reserved for tuning. The component D1 is a TVS for ESD protection, and it is optional for users according to application environment. The RF test connector is used for the conducted RF performance test, and should be placed as close as to the MODULEs MAIN_ANT pin. The traces impedance between MODULE and antenna must be controlled in 50. Figure 276: Antenna matching circuit (AUX_ANT) In above figure, R3, C3, C4 and R4 are used for auxiliary antenna matching. By default, the R3, R4 are 0resistors, and the C3, C4 are reserved for tuning. D2 is a TVS for ESD protection, and it is optional for users according to application environment. Two TVS are recommended in the table below. SIM7600NA_user manual _V1.00 51 2020-1-7 Smart Machine Smart Decision Table 30: Recommended TVS Package Part Number 0201 0402 LXES03AAA1-154 LXES15AAA1-153 Vender Murata Murata NoteSIMCom suggests the LTE auxiliary antenna to be kept on, since there are many high bands in the designing of LTE-TDD, such as band38, band40 and band41. Because of the high insert loss of the RF cable and layout lines, the receiver sensitivity of these bands above will have risk to meet the authentication without the diversity antenna. For more details about auxiliary antenna design notice, please refer to document [25]. 4.3 GNSS MODULE merges GNSS (GPS/GLONASS/BD) satellite and network information to provide a high-availability solution that offers industry-leading accuracy and performance. This solution performs well, even in very challenging environmental conditions where conventional GNSS receivers fail, and provides a platform to enable wireless operators to address both location-based services and emergency mandates. 4.3.1 GNSS Technical specification Tracking sensitivity: -159 dBmGPS/-158 dBmGLONASS/-159 dBmBD Cold-start sensitivity: -148 dBm Accuracy (Open Sky): 2.5m (CEP50) TTFF (Open Sky) : Hot start <1s, Cold start<35s Receiver Type: 16-channel, C/A Code GPS L1 Frequency: 1575.421.023MHz GLONASS: 1597.5~1605.8 MHz BD: 1559.05~1563.14 MHz Update rate: Default 1 Hz GNSS data format: NMEA-0183 GNSS Current consumption : 100mA (GSM/UMTS/LTE Sleep ,in total on VBAT pins) GNSS antenna: Passive/Active antenna Note: If the antenna is active type, the power should be given by main board because there is no power supply on the GPS antenna pad. If the antenna is passive, it is suggested that the external LNA should be used. 4.3.2 GNSS Application Guide Users can adopt an active antenna or a passive antenna to MODULE. If using a passive antenna, an external LNA is a must to get better performance. The following figures are the reference circuits. SIM7600NA_user manual _V1.00 52 2020-1-7 Smart Machine Smart Decision Figure 287: Active antenna circuit Figure 298: Passive antenna circuit (Default) In above figures, the components C1, L1 and L2 are used for antenna matching. Usually, the values of the components can only be achieved after antenna tuning and usually provided by antenna vendor. C2 is used for DC blocking. L3 is the matching component of the external LNA, and the value of L3 is determined by the LNA characteristic and PCB layout. Both VDD of active antenna and V_LNA need external power supplies which should be considered according to active antenna and LNA characteristic. LDO/DCDC is recommended to get lower current consuming by shutting down active antennas and LNA when GNSS is not working. GNSS can be tested by NMEA port. NMEA sentences can be obtained through UART or USB automatically. NMEA sentences include GSV, GGA, RMC, GSA, and VTG. Before using GNSS, user should configure MODULE in proper operating mode by AT command. Please refer to related documents for details. MODULE can also get position location information through AT directly. Note: GNSS is closed by default and can 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. AGPS mode needs more support from the mobile telecommunication network. Please refer to document [24] for more details.

. Safety Caution Table 46: Safety Caution Marks Requirements When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions about the use of mobiles. Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, medical equipment may be sensitive and not operate normally due to RF energy interference. Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it is switched off. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communication systems. Forgetting to think much of these instructions may impact the flight safety, or offend local legal action, or both. Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard. Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. RF interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or other electric equipment. Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when driving a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a holder for hands free operation. Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle. GSM cellular terminals or mobiles operate over radio frequency signals and cellular networks and cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions, especially with a mobile fee or an invalid SIM card. While you are in this condition and need emergent help, please remember to use emergency calls. In order to make or receive calls, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength. Some networks do not allow for emergency call if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may have to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call. Also, some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular terminal or mobile.
