Power Supply Nominal Supply Voltage Value 3.8V Normal Operating Voltage Range 3.40 V 4.20 V Extended Operating Voltage Range 3.10 V 4.50 V NOTE:

The Operating Voltage Range MUST never be exceeded; care must be taken when designing the applications power supply section to avoid having an excessive voltage drop. If the voltage drop is exceeding the limits it could cause a Power Off of the module. The Power supply must be higher than 3.10 V to power on the module. Overshoot voltage (regarding MAX Extended Operating Voltage) and drop in voltage

(regarding MIN Extended Operating Voltage) MUST never be exceeded;

The Extended Operating Voltage Range can be used only with completely assumption and application of the HW User guide suggestions.

The electrical design for the Power supply should be made ensuring it will be capable of a peak current output of at least:

0.8 A for WCDMA and LTE mode (3.80V supply). 2A for GSM mode (3.80V supply). NOTE:

The reported values are an average among all the product variants and bands for each network wireless technology. The support of specific network wireless technology depends on product variant configuration. LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.9 2017-05-15 22 of 84 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications PLC written authorization All Rights Reserved 4.3 General Design Rules The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps:

the electrical design the thermal design the PCB layout. 4.3.1 Electrical Design Guidelines The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly from the power source where this power is drained. We will distinguish them into three categories:

+5V input (typically PC internal regulator output)

+12V input (typically automotive) Battery 4.3.1.1

+5V Source Power Supply Design Guidelines The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence there's not a big difference between the input source and the desired output and a linear regulator can be used. A switching power supply will not be suited because of the low drop out requirements. When using a linear regulator, a proper heat sink shall be provided in order to dissipate the power generated. A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current absorption peaks close to the Module, a 100F capacitor is usually suited. Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output rated at least 10V. An example of linear regulator with 5V input is:

LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.9 2017-05-15 23 of 84 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications PLC written authorization All Rights Reserved 4.3.1.2

+ 12V input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence due to the big difference between the input source and the desired output, a linear regulator is not suited and shall not be used. A switching power supply will be preferable because of its better efficiency. When using a switching regulator, a 500kHz or more switching frequency regulator is preferable because of its smaller inductor size and its faster transient response. This allows the regulator to respond quickly to the current peaks absorption. In any case the frequency and Switching design selection is related to the application to be developed due to the fact the switching frequency could also generate EMC interferences. For car PB battery the input voltage can rise up to 15,8V and this should be kept in mind when choosing components: all components in the power supply must withstand this voltage. A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current absorption peaks, a 100F capacitor is usually suited. Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output is rated at least 10V. For Car applications a spike protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order to clean the supply from spikes. An example of switching regulator with 12V input is in the below schematic:

LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.9 2017-05-15 24 of 84 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications PLC written authorization All Rights Reserved 4.3.1.3 Battery Source Power Supply Design Guidelines The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V and the maximum voltage allowed is 4.2V, hence a single 3.7V Li-Ion cell battery type is suited for supplying the power to the Telit LE910 V2 module. A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current absorption peaks, a 100F tantalum capacitor is usually suited. Make sure the low ESR capacitor (usually a tantalum one) is rated at least 10V. A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order to save the LE910 V2 from power polarity inversion. Otherwise the battery connector should be done in a way to avoid polarity inversions when connecting the battery. The battery must be rated to supply peaks of current up to 0.8 A for LTE and WCDMA mode and 2A for GSM mode. NOTE:

DON'T USE any Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Pb battery types directly connected with LE910 V2. Their use can lead to overvoltage on the LE910 V2 and damage it. USE ONLY Li-Ion battery types.

Average current consumption: 800 mA Supply voltage: 3.80V NOTE:

Make PCB design in order to have the best connection of GND pads to large surfaces. NOTE:

The LE910 V2 includes a function to prevent overheating.

A misplaced component can be useless or can even decrease the power supply performances. The Bypass low ESR capacitor must be placed close to the Telit LE910 V2 power input pads or in the case the power supply is a switching type it can be placed close to the inductor to cut the ripple provided the PCB trace from the capacitor to the LE910 V2 is wide enough to ensure a dropless connection even during an 0.8 A current peak. The protection diode must be placed close to the input connector where the power source is drained. The PCB traces from the input connector to the power regulator IC must be wide enough to ensure no voltage drops occur when an 2 A current peak is absorbed (worst case of GSM mode). The PCB traces to the LE910 V2 and the Bypass capacitor must be wide enough to ensure no significant voltage drops occur. This is for the same reason as previous point. Try to keep this trace as short as possible. To reduce the EMI due to switching, it is important to keep very small the mesh involved; thus the input capacitor, the output diode (if not embodied in the IC) and the regulator have to form a very small loop.This is done in order to reduce the radiated field (noise) at the switching frequency (100-500 kHz usually). A dedicated ground for the Switching regulator separated by the common ground plane is suggested. The placement of the power supply on the board should be done in such a way to guarantee that the high current return paths in the ground plane are not overlapped to any noise sensitive circuitry as the microphone amplifier/buffer or earphone amplifier. The power supply input cables should be kept separate from noise sensitive lines such as microphone/earphone cables. The insertion of EMI filter on VBATT pins is suggested in those designs where antenna is placed close to battery or supply lines. A ferrite bead like Murata BLM18EG101TN1 or Taiyo Yuden P/N FBMH1608HM101 can be used for this purpose.

To this power output a backup capacitor can be added in order to increase the RTC autonomy during power off of the battery. NO Devices must be powered from this pin. In order to keep the RTC active when VBATT is not supplied it is possible to back up the RTC section connecting a backup circuit to the related VRTC signal (pad C14 on modules Pinout).

The maximum current that can be drained from the ON_OFF* pad is 0,1 mA. A simple circuit to do it is:

NOTE:

Don't use any pull up resistor on the ON_OFF* line, it is internally pulled up. Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the LE910 V2 power regulator and improper power on/off of the module. The line ON_OFF* must be connected only in open collector or open drain configuration. In this document all the lines that are inverted, hence have active low signals are labelled with a name that ends with#",* or with a bar over the name. To check if the device has powered on, the hardware line PWRMON should be monitored. It is mandatory to avoid sending data to the serial ports during the first 200ms of the module start-up.

via AT command (see LE910 V2 Software User Guide, AT#SHDN) by tying low pin ON_OFF*

Either ways, the device issues a detach request to network informing that the device will not be reachable any more. To turn OFF the LE910 V2 the pad ON_OFF* must be tied low for at least 3 seconds and then released. NOTE:

To check if the device has been powered off, the hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. The device is powered off when PWRMON goes low. In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the LE910 V2 when the module is powered off or during an ON/OFF transition.

Whenever this signal is pulled low, the LE910 V2 is reset. When the device is reset it stops any operation. After the release of the line, the LE910 V2 is unconditionally shut down, without doing any detach operation from the network where it is registered. This behaviour is not a proper shut down because any WCDMA device is requested to issue a detach request on turn off. The HW_SHUTDOWN* is internally controlled on start-up to achieve always a proper power-on reset sequence, so there's no need to control this pin on start-up. To unconditionally shutdown the LE910 V2, the pad HW_SHUTDOWN* must be tied low for at least 200 milliseconds and then released. The signal is internally pulled up so the pin can be left floating if not used. If used, then it must always be connected with an open collector transistor, to permit to the internal circuitry the power on reset and under voltage lockout functions.

In case of unwanted supply voltage loss the system can be switched off without any risk of filesystem data corruption by implementing Fast Shut Down feature. Fast Shut Down feature permits to reduce the current consumption and the time-to-poweroff to minimum values. NOTE:

Refer to LE910 V2 series AT command reference guide (Fast power down -

#FASTSHDN) in order to set up detailed AT command. 5.5.1 Fast Shut Down by Hardware The Fast Power Down can be triggered by configuration of any GPIO. HI level to LOW level transition of GPIO commands fast power down. Example circuit:

NOTE:

In case of power on with slow ramp-up of Vbatt supply voltage while ON/OFF* is tied to GND (case possibile if timing are not properly controlled), HW_SHUTDOWN* line has to be used according to power on diagram in chapter 5.2.

In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the LE910 V2 when the module is powered off or during an ON/OFF transition. 5.6.3.2 Modem serial port 2 (USIF1) The secondary serial port on the LE910 V2 is a CMOS1.8V with only the RX and TX signals.

This level translator must:

invert the electrical signal in both directions;

Change the level from 0/1.8V to +15/-15V. Actually, the RS232 UART 16450, 16550, 16650 & 16750 chipsets accept signals with lower levels on the RS232 side (EIA/TIA-562), allowing a lower voltage-multiplying ratio on the level translator. Note that the negative signal voltage must be less than 0V and hence some sort of level translation is always required. The simplest way to translate the levels and invert the signal is by using a single chip level translator. There are a multitude of them, differing in the number of drivers and receivers and in the levels (be sure to get a true RS232 level translator not a RS485 or other standards). By convention the driver is the level translator from the 0-1.8V UART to the RS232 level. The receiver is the translator from the RS232 level to 0-1.8V UART. In order to translate the whole set of control lines of the UART you will need:

5 drivers 3 receivers An example of RS232 level adaptation circuitry could be done using a MAXIM transceiver (MAX218) In this case the chipset is capable to translate directly from 1.8V to the RS232 levels (Example done on 4 signals only). The RS232 serial port lines are usually connected to a DB9 connector with the following layout:

This transmission line shall fulfil the following requirements:

Item Value Characteristic Impedance 50 ohm (+-10%) Max Attenuation 0,3 dB Coupling Coupling with other signals shall be avoided Ground Plane Cold End (Ground Plane) of antenna shall be equipotential to the LE910 V2 ground pins The transmission line should be designed according to the following guidelines:

Make sure that the transmission lines characteristic impedance is 50ohm ;

Keep line on the PCB as short as possible, since the antenna line loss shall be less than about 0,3 dB;

Line geometry should have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid meanders and abrupt curves;

Any kind of suitable geometry / structure (Microstrip, Stripline, Coplanar, Grounded Coplanar Waveguide...) can be used for implementing the printed transmission line afferent the antenna;

If a Ground plane is required in line geometry, that plane has to be continuous and sufficiently extended, so the geometry can be as similar as possible to the related canonical model;

Keep, if possible, at least one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane; If possible, use this layer as reference Ground plane for the transmission line;

It is wise to surround (on both sides) the PCB transmission line with Ground, avoid having other signal tracks facing directly the antenna line track. Avoid crossing any un-shielded transmission line footprint with other signal tracks on different layers;

The ground surrounding the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the main Ground Plane by means of via holes (once per 2mm at least), placed close to the ground edges facing line track;

Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from LE910 V2 antenna line;

Keep the antenna line far away from the LE910 V2 power supply lines;

If EM noisy devices (such as fast switching ICs, LCD and so on) are present on the PCB hosting the LE910, take care of the shielding of the antenna line by burying it in an inner layer of PCB and surround it with Ground planes, or shield it with a metal frame cover. If EM noisy devices are not present around the line, the use of geometries like Microstrip or Grounded Coplanar Waveguide has to be preferred, since they typically ensure less attenuation if compared to a Stripline having same length;

6.4.2 PCB Guidelines in case of FCC Certification In the case FCC certification is required for an application using LE910 V2, according to FCC KDB 996369 for modular approval requirements, the transmission line has to be similar to that implemented on LE910 V2 interface board and described in the following chapter. 6.4.2.1 Transmission line design During the design of the LE910 V2 interface board, the placement of components has been chosen properly, in order to keep the line length as short as possible, thus leading to lowest power losses possible. A Grounded Coplanar Waveguide (G-CPW) line has been chosen, since this kind of transmission line ensures good impedance control and can be implemented in an outer PCB layer as needed in this case. A SMA female connector has been used to feed the line. The interface board is realized on a FR4, 4-layers PCB. Substrate material is characterized by relative permittivity r = 4.6 0.4 @ 1 GHz, TanD= 0.019 0.026 @ 1 GHz. A characteristic impedance of nearly 50 is achieved using trace width = 1.1 mm, clearance from coplanar ground plane = 0.3 mm each side. The line uses reference ground plane on layer 3, while copper is removed from layer 2 underneath the line. Height of trace above ground plane is 1.335 mm. Calculated characteristic impedance is 51.6

, estimated line loss is less than 0.1 dB. The line geometry is shown below:

Antenna must not be installed inside metal cases Antenna shall also be installed according Antenna manufacturer instructions Antenna integration should optimize the Radiation Efficiency. Efficiency values > 50% are recommended on all frequency bands Antenna integration should not dramatically perturb the radiation pattern. It is preferable to get, after antenna installation, an omnidirectional radiation pattern, at least in one pattern cut Antenna Gain must not exceed values indicated in regulatory requirements, where applicable, in order to meet related EIRP limitations. Typical antenna Gain in most M2M applications does not exceed 2dBi If the device antenna is located farther than 20cm from the human body and there are no co-located transmitter then the Telit FCC/IC approvals can be re-used by the end product If the device antenna is located closer than 20cm from the human body or there are co-located transmitter then the additional FCC/IC testing may be required for the end product (Telit FCC/IC approvals cannot be reused) LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.9 2017-05-15 63 of 84 Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications PLC written authorization All Rights Reserved 6.5 Second Antenna Requirements This product is including an input for a second Rx antenna to improve radio sensitivity and interference cancellation for better data throughput.

The second Rx antenna should not be located in the close vicinity of main antenna. In order to improve Diversity Gain, Isolation and reduce mutual interaction, the two antennas should be located at the maximum reciprocal distance possible, taking into consideration the available space into the application. For the same reason, the Rx antenna should also be cross-polarized with respect to the main antenna. Isolation between main antenna and Rx antenna must be at least 10 dB in all uplink frequency bands. Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC) value should be as close as possible to zero, for best diversity performance. ECC values below 0.5 on all frequency bands are recommended. 6.5.1 Single Antenna Operation In 2G and 3G mode second antenna (Diversity) is optional and secondary receiver can be disabled. In 4G LTE mode, 3GPP standard does not include single antenna operation because MIMO is the standard downlink configuration in this cellular system and because of reduced overall downlink performance when one or more neighbor cells are present. Nevertheless, LE910 V2 might be used with second antenna removed or not connected if this degradation in performance is accepted: for some MNOs, for example, a single receive antenna could be permissible with Cat.1 devices that operates at very low data rates (integrators should always refer to their network-provider to double check requirements applicability conditions). When possible, add a 50ohm (or 47ohm) resistor in order to terminate correctly the secondary receiver input and/or to provide antenna connection for test/debug purposes.
