In the case of serpentines, one line of a differential pair must be routed to make up a length delta, then it must be routed at the source (breakout) this ensures that lines stay differential thereafter. PCIE_RX0_P/M, PCIE_RX1_P/M, equal-length control is required only for 2 groups to use at the same time, the intra-lane length mismatch is less than 1mm; PCIE_TX0_P/M, PCIE_TX1_P/M, equal-length control is required only for 2 groups to use at the same time, the intra-lane length www.simcom.com 17 / 36 SIM8260X SeriesW82 Module220nFPCIE_REFCLK_MPCIE_REFCLK_PHST_PCIE_WAKEHST_PCIE_RSTHST_PCIE_CLKREQHST_PCIE_RXMHST_PCIE_RXPHST_PCIE_CLKMHST_PCIE_CLKP10K10KPCIE_WAKEPCIE_RSTPCIE_CLKREQPCIE_TX0_MPCIE_TX0_PPCIE_RX0_MPCIE_RX0_PHST_PCIE_TXMHST_PCIE_TXP220nF220nF220nF+1.8V W82 Hardware Design V1.02 mismatch is less than 1mm. Equal length control is not required between PCIE_TX, PCIE_RX PCIE_REFCLK groups. The AC capacitor of PCIE in series shall be close to the output terminal to ensure signal integrity. The two AC capacitors on the same pair of differential lines should be placed in close parallel, otherwise it may affect the signal integrity and cause EMI problems. The line distance between PCIE differential pairs and other signal lines shall not be less than 4x line width. The differential signal shall first route in the inner layer and be surrounded by GND to ensure continuous reference plane and avoid impedance discontinuity. To maintain impedance balance, maintain positive and negative traces as balanced as possible in terms of the signal and its return path. 3.4 Antenna Interface Pin7 and pin12 are for antenna, the characteristic impedance is 50. 3.4.1 Frequency band Table 7Frequency band Parameter Frequency range Value 2412~2462 5180~5320 5500~5700 5745~5825 5995~7115 Unit MHz MHz MHz MHz MHz 3.4.2 Reference design for RF Figure 9Reference design of RF www.simcom.com 18 / 36 W82 Hardware Design V1.02 W82 provides two RF welding disc interfaces for connecting external antennas. The RF wiring connected to the module RF antenna welding disc is made with a micro-strip line or other type impedance line. The impedance must be controlled at about 50, and the routing line is as short as possible. In order to obtain better RF performance, two GND pads on each side of the RF interface are needed. Figure 10 Impedance Calculation Figure 11 50ohm impedance line Use an impedance simulation tool to accurately control the characteristic impedance of RF traces to 50 GND pins adjacent to RF pins should not be designed as thermal relief pads, and should be fully connected to ground. Clearance between RF pins and RF connector should be as short as possible, and all right-angle
(90) traces should be changed to the ones with the angle of 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, ground vias around RF traces and the reference ground can improve RF performance. The clearance between ground vias and R traces should be at least twice the width of RF signal traces (2 x W). Keep RF traces away from interference sources, and avoid intersection and paralleling between any traces on adjacent layers. www.simcom.com 19 / 36 W82 Hardware Design V1.02 3.4.3 Requirement for antenna installation Table 8Requirement for antenna installation Parameter Frequency range SWR Line loss GaindBi Input impedance Direction Requirement 2412~2462MHz 5180~5320MHz 5500~5700MHz 5745~5825MHz 5995~7115MHz 2:1

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. www.simcom.com 33 / 36 W82 Hardware Design V1.02 The following warning statements:
