M80 Hardware Design 3.2. Operating modes The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes in the following chapters. Table 7: Overview of operating modes Mode Function Normal operation GSM/GPRS SLEEP The module will automatically go into SLEEP mode if DTR is set to high level and there is no interrupt (such as GPIO interrupt or data on UART port). In this case, the current consumption of module will reduce to the minimal level.
M80 Hardware Design 1) Use the EMERG_OFF pin only while failing to turn off the module by the command “AT+QPOWD=1” and the PWRKEY pin. Please refer to Section 3.4.2.2. 3.3. Power supply 3.3.1. Feature of GSM power The unit of GSM transmit in the wireless path is pulse string which is constructed by GSMK bit string and we call it burst. The period of burst is 4.16ms and the last time of burst is 577us. The burst current will reach 1.6A while idle current is as low as tens of milliampere.
M80 Hardware Design (0.1µF to 1µF) ceramic capacitor should be in parallel with the 100µF capacitor, which is illustrated in Figure 4. The capacitors should be placed close to the M80 VBAT pins. The PCB traces from the VBAT pads to the power source must be wide enough to ensure that there isn’t too much voltage drop occurring in the transmitting burst mode. The width of trace should be no less than 2mm and the principle of the VBAT trace is the longer, the wider.
M80 Hardware Design l e t l c a i e t u n Q fide n o C Figure 5: Reference circuit of the source power supply input 3.3.4. Monitor power supply To monitor the supply voltage, you can use the “AT+CBC” command which includes three parameters: charging status, remaining battery capacity and voltage value (in mV). It returns the 0-100 percent of battery capacity and actual value measured between VBAT and GND. The voltage is automatically measured in period of 5s.
M80 Hardware Design receive data depends on the level of RTS and CTS. Then whenever hardware flow is present or not, the URC “RDY” is sent to host controller in the fixed band rate. 3.4.1.1. Power on module using the PWRKEY pin Customer’s application can turn on the module by driving the pin PWRKEY to a low level voltage and after STATUS pin outputs a high level, PWRKEY pin can be released. Customer may monitor the level of the STATUS pin to judge whether the module is power-on or not.

The time between them is recommended 30ms. Note: Customer can monitor the voltage level of the STATUS pin to judge whether the module is power-on. After the STATUS pin goes to high level, PWRKEY may be released.
M80 Hardware Design 3.4.2.1. Power down module using the PWRKEY pin Customer’s application can turn off the module by driving the PWRKEY to a low level voltage for certain time. The power-down scenario is illustrated in Figure 9. The power-down procedure causes the module to log off from the network and allows the software to save important data before completely disconnecting the power supply, thus it is a safe way.
M80 Hardware Design 3.4.2.2. Power down module using AT command Customer’s application can turn off the module via AT command “AT+QPOWD=1”. This command will let the module to log off from the network and allow the software to save important data before completely disconnecting the power supply, thus it is a safe way.
M80 Hardware Design 3.4.2.4. Emergency shutdown using EMERG_OFF pin The module can be shut down by driving the pin EMERG_OFF to a low level voltage over 20ms and then releasing it. The EMERG_OFF line can be driven by an Open Drain / Collector driver or a button. The circuit is illustrated as the following figures. EMERG_OFF 4.
M80 Hardware Design 3.4.3. Restart 3.4.3.1. Restart module using the PWRKEY pin Customer’s application can restart the module by driving the PWRKEY to a low level voltage for certain time, which is similar to the way of turning on module. Before restarting the module, at least 500ms should be delayed after detecting the low level of STATUS. The restart timing is illustrated as the following figure. Delay > 0.
M80 Hardware Design 3.5. Charging interface Not supported at present. 3.6. Power saving Upon system requirement, there are several actions to drive the module to enter low current consumption status. For example, “AT+CFUN” can be used to set module into minimum functionality mode and DTR hardware interface signal can be used to lead system to SLEEP mode. l e t l c a i e t u n Q fide n o C 3.6.1.
M80 Hardware Design enter SLEEP mode automatically. In this mode, the module can still receive voice, SMS or GPRS paging from network but the UART port is not accessible. 3.6.3. Wake up module from SLEEP mode When the module is in the SLEEP mode, the following methods can wake up the module. If the DTR Pin is set low, it would wake up the module from the SLEEP mode. The UART port will be active within 20ms after DTR is changed to low level. Receiving a voice or data call from network wakes up module.

Serial interfaces The module provides three serial ports: UART, Debug Port and Auxiliary UART Port. The module is designed as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment), following the traditional DCE-DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) connection. Autobauding function supports baud rate from 4800bps to 115200bps.
M80 Hardware Design The Auxiliary UART Port TXD_AUX: Send data to the RXD of DTE RXD_AUX: Receive data from the TXD of DTE The logic levels are described in the following table.

Autobauding allows the module to detect the baud rate by receiving the string “AT” or “at” from the host or PC automatically, which gives module flexibility without considering which baud rate is used by the host controller. Autobauding is enabled in default.

M80 Hardware Design The following picture is an example of connection between module and PC. A RS_232 level shifter IC or circuit must be inserted between module and PC, since these three UART ports don’t support the RS_232 level, while support the CMOS level only.

M80 Hardware Design For each channel, customer can use AT+QMIC to adjust the input gain level of microphone.

M80 Hardware Design 5.5. Electro-static discharge Although the GSM engine is generally protected against Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), ESD protection precautions should still be emphasized. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation of any applications using the module.

M80 Hardware Design 7. Storage and Manufacturing 7.1. Storage M80 is distributed in vacuum-sealed bag. The restriction of storage condition is shown as below.
M80 Hardware Design 7.2. Soldering The squeegee should push the paste on the surface of the stencil that makes the paste fill the stencil openings and penetrate to the PCB. The force on the squeegee should be adjusted so as to produce a clean stencil surface on a single pass. To ensure the module soldering quality, the thickness of stencil at the hole of the module pads should be 0.13mm for M80.

M80 Hardware Design Appendix B: GPRS multi-slot classes Twenty-nine classes of GPRS multi-slot modes are defined for MS in GPRS specification. Multi-slot classes are product dependant, and determine the maximum achievable data rates in both the uplink and downlink directions. Written as 3+1 or 2+2, the first number indicates the amount of downlink timeslots, while the second number indicates the amount of uplink timeslots.
