Cinterion® EHS6-A Hardware Interface Overview Page 13 of 41 2 Interface Characteristics 22 2 Interface Characteristics EHS6-A is equipped with an SMT application interface that connects to the external application. The SMT application interface incorporates the various application interfaces as well as the RF antenna interface. 2.1 Application Interface 2.1.1 USB Interface EHS6-A supports a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mbit/s) device interface that is Full Speed (12Mbit/s) compliant.
Cinterion® EHS6-A Hardware Interface Overview Page 14 of 41 2.1 Application Interface 22 2.1.2 Serial Interface ASC0 EHS6-A offers an 8-wire unbalanced, asynchronous modem interface ASC0 conforming to ITU-T V.24 protocol DCE signalling. The electrical characteristics do not comply with ITU-T V.28. The significant levels are 0V (for low data bit or active state) and 1.8V (for high data bit or inactive state). EHS6-A is designed for use as a DCE.

Cinterion® EHS6-A Hardware Interface Overview Page 16 of 41 2.1 Application Interface 22 CCIO Serial data line, input and output. CCRST Chipcard reset CCIN Input on the baseband processor for detecting a SIM card tray in the holder. If the SIM is removed during operation the SIM interface is shut down immediately to prevent destruction of the SIM. The CCIN signal is by default low and will change to highl evel if a SIM card is inserted.
Cinterion® EHS6-A Hardware Interface Overview Page 17 of 41 2.1 Application Interface 22 2.1.5 Analog Audio Interface EHS6-A has an analog audio interface with a balanced analog microphone input and a balanced analog earpiece output. A supply voltage and an analog ground connection are provided at dedicated pads. 2.1.6 Digital Audio Interface EHS6-A digital audio interface (DAI) can be used to connect audio devices capable of pulse code modulation (PCM). 2.1.

The configuration is non-volatile and available after module restart. 2.1.
Cinterion® EHS6-A Hardware Interface Overview Page 19 of 41 2.1 Application Interface 22 The HSIC interface comprises 6 lines: • Two signal lines (strobe - HSIC_STRB - and data - HSIC_DATA) are used in a source synchronous serial interface with a 240MHz clock to provide a 480Mbps USB interface. The HSIC_STRB and HSIC_DATA lines are high-speed signals and should be routed as 50 impedance traces. The trace length of these signals should be balanced to minimize timing skew and no longer as 100mm.
Cinterion® EHS6-A Hardware Interface Overview Page 20 of 41 2.2 RF Antenna Interface 22 2.2 RF Antenna Interface The RF interface has an impedance of 50 . EHS6-A is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna line without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power. The external antenna must be matched properly to achieve best performance regarding radiated power, modulation accuracy and harmonic suppression.
Cinterion® EHS6-A Hardware Interface Overview Page 21 of 41 2.2 RF Antenna Interface 22 2.2.1 Antenna Installation The antenna is connected by soldering the antenna pad (ANT_GSM, i.e., pad #59) and its neighboring ground pads (GND, i.e., pads #58 and #60) directly to the application’s PCB. The antenna pad is the antenna reference point (ARP) for EHS6-A. All RFd ata specified throughout this document is related to the ARP.
Cinterion® EHS6-A Hardware Interface Overview Page 22 of 41 2.3 Sample Application 22 2.3 Sample Application Figure 6 shows a typical example of how to integrate a EHS6-A module with an application. Usage of the various host interfaces depends on the desired features of the application. The analog audio interface demonstrates the balanced connection of microphone and earpiece. This solution is particularly well suited for internal transducers.

Cinterion® EHS6-A Hardware Interface Overview Page 25 of 41 Please note that throughout the document BATT+ refers to both voltage domains and power supply lines - BATT+BB and BATT+RF. The power supply of EHS6-A has to be a single voltage source at BATT+BB and BATT+RF. It must be able to provide the peak current during the uplink transmission. All the key functions for supplying power to the device are handled by the power management section of the analog controller.
