Smart Machine Smart Decision 3 Interface Application 3.1 Power Supply The power supply pins of MODULE include 4 pins (pin 62&63, pin 38&39) named VBAT. The 4 VBAT pads supply the power to RF and baseband circuits directly. On VBAT pads, the ripple current up to 2A typically, due to GSM/GPRS emission burst (every 4.615ms), may cause voltage drop. So the power supply for these pads must be able to provide sufficient current up to more than 2A in order to avoid the voltage drop is more than 300mV.
Smart Machine Smart Decision 3.1.1 Power Supply Design Guide Make sure that the voltage on the VBAT pins will never drop below 3.4V, even during a transmit burst, when current consumption may rise up to 2A. If the voltage drops below 3.4V, the RF performance may be affected. Note: If the power supply for VBAT pins can support up to 2A, more than 300uF capacitors are recommended .Otherwise users must use a total of 1000uF capacitors typically, in order to avoid of the voltage drop more than 300mV.
Smart Machine Smart Decision 3.1.2 Recommended Power Supply Circuit It is recommended that a switching mode power supply or a linear regulator power supply is used. It is important to make sure that all the components used in the power supply circuit can resist a peak current up to 2A. The following figure shows the linear regulator reference circuit with 5V input and 3.8V output.
Smart Machine Smart Decision 3.2 3.2.1 Power on/Power off/Reset Function Power on MODULE can be powered on by pulling the PWRKEY pin down to ground. The PWRKEY pin has been pulled up with a diode to 1.8V internally, so it does not need to be pulled up externally. It is strongly recommended to put a100nF capacitor, an ESD protection diode, close to the PWRKEY pin as it would strongly enhance the ESD performance of PWRKEY pin. Please refer to the following figure for the recommended reference circuit.

Smart Machine Smart Decision Figure 13: UART full modem Figure 14: UART null 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 TXB0108RGYR provided by Texas Instruments is recommended. The following figure shows the voltage matching reference design. VDD_1V8 or External 1V8 3.
Smart Machine Smart Decision Figure 16: level matching circuit To comply with RS-232-C protocol, the RS-232-C level shifter chip should be used to connect MODULE to the RS-232-C interface, for example SP3238ECA, etc. Note1: User needs to use high speed transistors such as MMBT3904. Note2: MODULE supports the following baud rates: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600, 3200000, 3686400, 4000000bps. The default band rate is 115200bps. 3.3.
Smart Machine Smart Decision Figure 177: RI behaviour(SMS and URC report) Normally RI will be kept at a high level until a voice call, then it will output periodic rectangular wave with 5900ms low level and 100ms high level. It will output this kind of periodic rectangular wave until the call is answered or hung up. Figure 188 : RI behaviour(voice call) Note: For more details of AT commands about UART, please refer to document [1] and [22]. DTR pin can be used to wake MODULE from sleep.
Smart Machine Smart Decision Figure19: 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, the capacitance should be less than 1pF. It is recommended to use an ESD protection component such as ESD9L5.0ST5G provided by On Semiconductor (www.onsemi.com ).

Smart Machine Smart Decision Figure 192: USIM interface reference circuit Note: USIM_DATA has been pulled up with a 10KΩ resistor to USIM_VDD in MODULE. A 100nF capacitor on USIM_VDD is used to reduce interference. For more details of AT commands about USIM, please refer to document [1].USIM_CLK is very important signal, the rise time and fall time of USIM_CLK should be less than 40ns, otherwise the USIM card might not be initialized correctly.
Smart Machine Smart Decision SIM card circuit is susceptible, the interference may cause the SIM card failures or some other situations, so it is strongly recommended to follow these guidelines while designing: Make sure that the SIM card holder should be far away from the antenna while in PCB layout. SIM traces should keep away from RF lines, VBAT and high-speed signal lines. The traces should be as short as possible. Keep SIM holder’s GND connect to main ground directly.
Smart Machine Smart Decision Recommended USIM Card Holder It is recommended to use the 6-pin USIM socket such as C707 10M006 512 produced by Amphenol. User can visit http://www.amphenol.com for more information about the holder.
