3 Operating Status The module can be in different modes (see the Serial Port Adapter AT command Specification for more information about the modes) and the RED, GREEN and BLUE signals can be used to detect or indicating the status, see Table 8. The LED signals are active LOW.
4 Antennas There are 2 different antenna options available: • An internal surface mounted (SMD) antenna. • An external antenna should be connected to a U.FL connector. Many different external antennas are available. See section 5.1 for more information on antenna placement. This chapter gives an overview of the different antenna options. 4.1 Surface Mounted Antenna (Internal) The unit cannot be mounted in a metal-shielded enclosure with this antenna.
4.2 External antennas The external antennas are connected to the board through a U.FL connector. Some of the antennas are connected directly to the U.FL connector of the board and some are connected using an SMA connected through a short U.FL to SMA adapter cable. 4.2.1 Antenna Accessories Part Number cB-ACC-18 Name U.FL to SMA adapter cable Connector U.FL and SMA female Cable length 120 mm Cable loss Less than 0.5dB Comment The SMA connector may be mounted in a panel.

5 Mounting Information 5.1 Board Outlines 5.1.1 cB-0905 Figure 4: cB-0905 dimensions [mm]. The J2 pads are longer to fit both the single and double row connectors (see section 5.2). Version 1.
5.1.2 Mounting Holes There are 2 x 2.3mm mounting holes on cB-0905. The reasons for the 2.3mm holes are that the threaded M2 holes on the single and double row connectors (see section 5.2.1) are not aligned. The outer tangents of the 2.3mm holes align the module if the single row connectors are used and the inner if double row connectors are used (see Figure 5). Choose the outer tangent (CC distance 27.24mm) if the module is aligned and mounted with some other technique based on M2 screws (e.g.
5.2 Using the J2/J3 Board-to-Board Connectors The board-to-board connector should be a 1mm pitch one-piece part connector. The recommended manufacture is Samtec with many connector options available; see section 5.2.1.1 and 5.2.1.2. Chapter 2 contains more information about the connector and the electrical interface. 5.2.1 Suitable One-Piece Part Connectors 5.2.1.1 Single row connectors These connectors are a single row connector and can be used if only J2 is needed.
Figure 6: Host PCB layout [mm] for single row connector. Version 1.
5.2.1.2 Double row connectors This connector is a double row connector and can be used if both J2 and J3 are needed. This connector has a height of 3.0mm and this has to be considered if components are to be mounted on the motherboard under the OEM Serial Port Adapter board. The connector is also available with a height of 6.0mm and 10.0mm (The FSI-120 serie from Samtec). There are alignment pins on the bottom side of the connector.

5.3 Using Press-Fit Nuts for Mounting the Module A press-fit nut is pressed into the PCB from the bottom side with a special press tool. M2 sized press-fit nuts are suitable for the modules (see Figure 6 and Figure 7) and are manufactured by PEM Fastening Systems (www.pemnet.com), part no KFS2-M2 (see Figure 8). Be careful with the distance between the nuts regarding alignment, see section 5.1.2. Figure 8: KFS2-M2 press-fit nut.

Appendix A - Application Notes Usually only a subset of the available functionality is of interest to the designer. In addition, depending on the host system, the electrical interface can be designed in many ways. The designer can use the step-by-step guide in this chapter as an aid in the design process. A.1 Step-by-Step Guide Table 13: Step-by-step guide with Yes and No answers.
A.2 Design Examples This section contains design examples for all interfaces on J1, J2 and J3. The connector type that suits a specific application depends on the needed signal and the preferred interface type. A.2.1 Logic Levels A 3.0/3.3V host system can be connected directly to the logic level pins (BLUE, UART-TxD / UART-RxD etc). A serial 100Ω resistor shall be used (see Figure 9) for protection, see Table 6 for logic levels characteristics. A 5V host system can easily be adjusted to the logic levels.
A.2.2 Serial Interface The serial interface can operate in RS232 or Logic level mode, see section A.2.3.2. The Logic level mode could be used if the module is connected to an external CPU or if the physical interface should be another then the internal RS232 likes RS422 (see section A.2.2.3). The signal excluding the RxD and TxD signals available on the serial interface are: CTS (Clear To Send) and RTS (Request To Send) are used for hardware flow control.
A.2.2.2External RS232 driver The modules are fully compatible with the EIA-232 standard and can be connected to all RS232 transceivers. Speed and current consumption depends on the host system RS232 transceiver. See Figure 14 for a complete example. Not used functionality can be left unconnected; see Section A.2.2. Figure 14: A complete RS232 interface. Version 1.
A.2.2.3External RS422 transceiver An external RS422 driver could be used in a point-to-point (full duplex) application (see Figure 15). The Logic level mode needs to be enabled when using an external transceiver. See section A.2.3.2 for information on how to select Logic level mode. Note! It is very important to set the module in logic level mode properly when interfacing with logic levels; collision with the internal RS232 transceiver could damage the module. Figure 15: A complete RS422 interface.
A.2.2.4External RS422/RS485 transceiver A complete RS422/RS485 transceiver design connected to a bus system need to control the enable signals of the transceiver. The SerialSelect signals are used for this purpose (see Table 14). The Logic level mode needs to be enabled when using an external transceiver. See section A.2.3.2 for information on how to select Logic level mode.
A.2.3 LED and Switch Design A.2.3.1BLUE Signal The BLUE logic LED signal is not multiplexed with any other functionality, which makes the design more straightforward (for more information see Figure 17). There are two important notes: - A blue LED requires about 3.5V forward voltage drop (cannot be used in a 3.3V system). - The BLUE signal can be used to detect if the module is connected or not. The BLUE signal flashes when the module is sending and receiving data (see Chapter 3, Table 8).
A.2.3.2RED/Mode Signal The RED/Mode signal is a multiplexed signal: - RED - Logic red LED signal (see Chapter 3, Table 8). Becomes valid 500ms after start up. - Mode - The module reads the status of the signal during startup to decide if the serial interface shall be RS232 (HIGH) or logic UART (LOW) levels. The input signal must be stable for the first 500ms after startup (after reset/power on reset). The signal is internally pulled-up (120kΩ) for RS232 as default.
Figure 23: The mode pin is pulled-down (1kΩ Ω) in UART mode. Version 1.
A.2.3.3GREEN/Switch-1 signal The GREEN/Switch-1 signal is a multiplexed signal: - GREEN - Logic green LED signal (see Chapter 3, Table 8). Becomes valid 500ms after start up. - Switch-1 - The module reads the status of the signal at startup to decide if the serial interface settings shall be restored (LOW) (see the Serial Port Adapter User Manual for more details). The input signal must be stable for the first 500ms after startup (after reset/power on reset).
Figure 26: No restore switch used but a green LED in a 3.3V host system. The status of the signal can also be used as input to a host controller. Figure 27: No restore switch used but a green LED in a 5V host system. The status of the signal can also be used as input to a host controller. A serial resistor to the restore switch must be used to prevent a short circuit when the GREEN/Switch-1 pin is in output HIGH state and the switch is pressed (see Figure 28).
A.2.3.4Switch-0 Signal Switch-0 is not multiplexed with other functionality and a switch is easily implemented (see Figure 30). Sometimes, over time, switch contacts can get an oxide layer. This may cause the closed switch resistance to become too high to sink the signal to logic LOW (the signal is internally pulled-up to 120kΩ). A design that prevents this can be found in Figure 31. The Switch-0 pin can be left unconnected if its functionality is not used. Figure 30: A low resistance function switch used.
A.2.5 A Complete 5V Host System Interface This is a complete 5V host system interface example with an RGB LED and two switches (except the serial interface, see section A.2.2 for information). The design is based on the LM339 Quad OP-amp instead of logic gates. Figure 34: A complete 5V host interface with operational amplifier Version 1.
