The test condition: The voltage of power supply for VBAT is 3.7V, Ca is 100 µF tantalum capacitor (ESR=0.7Ω). 2. PIN3,5,71,73 are the main return current path of module,these pins should be coppered by a ground plane to main ground. 3. All other GND pins also need connect to ground.
SIM6600-M2 Hardware Design V1.00 The following figure shows the linear regulator reference circuit with 5V input and 3.7V output. Figure 5: Linear regulator reference circuit If there is a high dropout between input and VBAT, 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 with 12V input and 3.7V output. Figure 6: Switching mode power supply reference circuit NOTE 1.
SIM6600-M2 Hardware Design V1.00 Figure 7: Reference power on/sleep circuit NOTE Note: Module could be automatically power on by connecting FULL_CARD_POWER_OFF# pin to 3V3 via 0R resistor directly. 3.2.1 Power on The power-on scenarios are illustrated in the following figure. Figure 8: Power on timing sequence Table 9: Power on timing and electronic characteristic Symbol Parameter Min. Typ. Max. Unit Twait The time which is used to wait the VBAT to be stable.
SIM6600-M2 Hardware Design V1.00 3.2.2 Power off The following methods can be used to power off the card. ● Method 1: Power off Module by AT command . ● Method 2: over-voltage or under-voltage automatic power off. ● Method 3: over-temperature or under-temperature automatic power off. NOTE 1.The over-temperature and over-voltage function is disable by default. 2. If the temperature is outside the range of -25~+75℃, some warning will be reported via AT port.
SIM6600-M2 Hardware Design V1.00 3.3 Reset Function Module can be reset by pulling the RESET# pin down to ground. NOTE This function is only used as an emergency reset, when power off AT command have lost efficacy. The RESET# pin has been pulled up with a resistor to 1.8V internally, so it does not need to be pulled up externally. It is strongly recommended to put a100pF capacitor and an ESD protection diode close to the RESET# pin.
SIM6600-M2 Hardware Design V1.00 Figure 11: UART modem The Module UART is 1.8V voltage interface. If user’s UART application circuit is 3.3V voltage interface, the level shifter circuits should be used for voltage matching. The TXB0102RGYR provided by Texas Instruments is recommended. The following figure shows the voltage matching reference design.

Normally it will keep high logic level until certain conditions such as receiving SMS, voice call (CSD, video) or URC reporting, then WoWWAN# will change to low logic level to inform the host (client PC), the pulse time is 1 second.
SIM6600-M2 Hardware Design V1.00 Figure 15: WOWWAN# reference circuit 3.7 USB2.0 Interface SIM6600-M2 supports one USB2.0 interface. The module supports three USB speeds: low-speed (1.5Mbps), full-speed (12Mbps) and high-speed (480Mbps). NOTE 1. The USB_DN and USB_DP nets must be traced by 90Ohm+/-10% differential impedance. 2. USB NOT support OTG function and USB charging function. Module is used as a USB device by default.
SIM6600-M2 Hardware Design V1.00 Figure 16: USB reference circuit 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, for the USB2.0 signals (USB D- and USB D+), the capacitance should not be more than 3pF. It is recommended to use an ESD protection component such as ESD9M5.0ST5G provided by On Semiconductor (www.onsemi.com ). 3.8 UIM Interface Module supports both 1.8V and 3.0V UIM Cards.
SIM6600-M2 Hardware Design V1.00 3.8.1 USIM Application Guide It is recommended to use an ESD protection component such as ESDA6V1-5W6 produced by ST (www.st.com ) or SMF12C produced by ON SEMI (www.onsemi.com ). Note that the USIM peripheral circuit should be close to the USIM card socket. The following figure shows the 6-pin SIM card holder reference circuit. Figure 17: USIM interface reference circuit The SIM Detect pin is used for detection of the UIM card hot plug in.
SIM6600-M2 Hardware Design V1.00 The traces should be as short as possible. Keep SIM holder’s GND connect to main ground directly. Shielding the SIM card signal by ground. Recommended to place a 0.1～1uF capacitor on UIM-PWR line and keep close to the holder. The rise/fall time of UIM-CLK should not be more than 40ns. Add some TVS and the parasitic capacitance should not exceed 60pF. 3.
