- 19 -Use the following guidelines to successfully implement your PCB layout to obtain the bestperformance, the lowest possible EMI emissions, the maximum thermal conduction, thehighest mechanical integrity, and the best voice quality. The HS 3001 module is a compact,high performance design, yet it is easy to interface into the final product. To experience its fullpotential, designers should pay close attention to ground structures, the routing of RF andDigital traces, and the size of the power supply lines.These design tips are strictly guidelines and are not meant to be a complete listof items that guarantee actual performance. Each application is different and mayrequire variation from these guidelines; however, you should try to use thesesound engineering principles.Advanced Tips For An RF-Friendly LayoutUse the following tips for an RF-friendly layout:Ground PlaneTo ensure the lowest possible EMI emissions and maximum thermal conductivity, NovatelWireless M2M recommends that you solder all metal tabs on the cellular module shield downonto a continuous ground plane that runs under the entire module. Provide ample ground viasaround the metal tabs to create a low impedance ground. Minimize the number of I/O andpower traces and vias under the cellular module to allow for as much ground plane aspossible. Great care should also be taken to avoid any shorting or coupling of vias that mightbe placed under the radio module and have them masked.An example of a good ground structure and pad layout follows:
- 20 -Figure 4-1 Example of good ground plane for CDMA modulesThermal ReliefBecause the ground plane acts as a large heat sink, it can affect the solderability ofcomponents. A common method to reduce this effect is to use thermal relief around the padin question. However, you must be careful when using thermal relief for high current or highfrequency applications.For example, a large thermal relief can serve the purpose for general applications such as lowcurrent, low speed data lines, DC connections, and audio-frequency applications. However,you should avoid such thermal relief structures for applications involving high current and/orhigh-frequency (such as those using the cellular module). Depending on the frequency ofoperation, the long narrow thermal relief traces between the pad and the ground plane actlike an RF choke. These RF chokes become higher impedance at harmonics of thefundamental frequency making it problematic for high-frequency suppression. This can makeit difficult to pass type approval testing.
- 21 -Figure 4-2 Example of a POOR RF Thermal ReliefIf thermal relief is necessary, use short, fat traces. This will still provide a solderableconnection, while providing a better RF connection. Making the traces shorter also allows for amore continuous ground plane due to less copper being removed from the area. We alsorecommend that you have ground vias around all thermal relief of critical ground pins such asthe five cellular shield tabs.
- 22 -Figure 4-3 Example of a GOOD RF Thermal ReliefModem Mounting TabsSoldering the tabs on the module is an important part of the assembly of the module and hostboard. The following figure shows an ideal ground structure for the tabs. One half of the pad iscovered with a solid ground. This allows for a low impedance connection while still providingsome thermal relief for the soldering process. While soldering the tabs, apply slight pressure(approximately 500 grams of force) to the module to flex the tabs and place the module asclose to the host as possible.
- 23 -Figure 4-4 Modem Tabs - Ideal Ground StructureAntenna And RF Signal TraceThe PCB trace that feeds the RF output port must be designed for a 50 ohm characteristicimpedance. The RF trace should be coplanar, or routed into internal layers to keep the toplayer continuous around and underneath the cellular module. Provide ample ground viasaround the RF contacts, the RF trace, and launch pad. If possible, keep I/O and power tracesaway from the RF port. This includes traces running parallel or orthogonal to it. Do not usethermal relief on the antenna output port ground pads. Pay close attention to the size of thepad and thickness of the dielectric beneath the signal pad and trace. Most PCB manufacturerscan adjust the trace width to maintain 50 ohms impedance if the traces are identified andinstructions are included on the FAB drawing. This service is typically provided at no orminimal additional cost.For minimum RF emissions due to the fundamental frequency of operation, the cellularmodule works best with an antenna load that has a VSWR of 1.5:1 or better. The antennashould not have gain at the harmonic frequencies, otherwise, the conducted harmonics couldget amplified to a point where the product no longer passes type approval. However, forapplications where antenna quality is less than ideal, we recommend that you have a low passfilter (Pi structure with N=3) in the RF path to the antenna. This is a secondary plan shouldthere be a need to lower harmonic levels at frequencies above the PCS band. The padstructure may also be used to match the antenna load impedance, if required. If it is notneeded, you may use a low-reactance capacitor to bridge the Pi structure.
- 24 -The RF cable going between the cellular module and the antenna is very lossy; therefore, youshould keep the length of this cable as short a possible.The following design parameters are for the coplanar microstrip between the Module RFcompression pads and the U.FL style coaxial connector.The coplanar waveguide microstrip details are shown below.

The VBAT interface must bedesigned to provide the required instantaneous voltage and current with minimal voltagedroop. This includes both sufficient bulk decoupling capacitance as well as adequate layoutprovisions.When laying out the connections to the cellular module interface connector, it is tempting touse traces of the same width as the connector pins. However, this is a very compact connectorand traces of that width will not have sufficient copper. Similar to the discussion on thermalrelief, the use of narrow traces to connect the VBAT pins to the source voltage can act like ahigh impedance and cause a significant voltage droop when higher currents are required.If the VBAT drops too low, the cellular modules will reset. To minimize the trace loss, use alarger trace that spans several pins. Any concern about solderability can be mitigated byusing a solder mask with cutouts for the individual pins as shown in the figure below. Thelayout should provide sufficient trace width over the entire trace from the Enable modules allthe way to the source of the VBAT voltage. Any transitions between layers for this trace shoulduse multiple vias.
- 26 -Even the best layout will have some impedance from the source to the cellular module;therefore, sufficient bulk decoupling capacitance is required at the Vbat input to the cellularmodule. If necessary, you may use up to two 1000 µF, low ESR, tantalum capacitors to providethe desired decoupling. If used, the capacitors should be located very close to the cellularinterface connector VBAT pins. Any thermal relief used on these capacitors should comply withthe information given above to provide the lowest possible impedance. The grounding ofthese capacitors is critical. Therefore, it should be a low impedance and should use multiplevias to the internal ground plane close to the capacitor.It is highly recommended to have the battery voltage be set at 3.8 Volts (the approximatemidpoint between 3.4 Volt and 4 .4 Volt) to avoid any negative side effects related totransmit power of the radio module caused by high voltage drops due to high current drawon the Vbat line.Figure 4-5 Example of GOOD VBAT layoutAudio Reference DesignThe audio quality is dependent on the circuit design and layout. As an aid to obtaining goodaudio quality, we included a reference design below.

It should be noted that the inputvoltage level should not drop below the minimum voltage rating under anycircumstances, especially during the uplink burst period.
- 30 -Modem Power-on And Recovery TechniquesThe HS 3001 provides module integrators with improved modem power-on and recoverytechniques, while maintaining backwards compatibility to Enabler IIIG integrations. Theaddition of an internal power switch and an input power-on logic select pin allows users theflexibility to maintain backwards compatibility or select different power-on options. Thisinternal power switch also allows integrators the flexibility of not supplying an external powerswitch. Pin 37, previously a reset pin, has been replaced with a device power ON/OFF pin.This pin controls the internal power switch.Pin 85 (PSLOGIC) allows users to select the default behavior of the ON/OFF control (Pin 37).Once power is applied via the internal power switch, Pin 35 (PON) is used like a phone on/offswitch.Power Switch Logic Detect (Pin 85)Pin 85 is a hardware input pin used to determine the functionality of the ON/OFF pin (Pin 37).If Pin 85 is tied to VBAT, Modem ON/OFF (Pin 37) defaults to high when open circuit, and themodem power switch will be ON. If Pin 85 is left open, Modem ON/OFF (Pin 37) defaults tolow when open circuit and the modem will be OFF (requires ON/OFF to be driven high topower on).We do not recommend externally connecting Pin 85 to ground.ON/OFF (PIN 37)Pin 37 is the ON/OFF control input for the modem's internal power switch. When it is high,the modem's power switch will be ON. When it is low, the modem power will be OFF.In order for the device to power on, pin 35 must be tied low or pulled low after power hasbeen applied. The device will not power on if it is left floating.
- 31 -Pin 35 PON (Power On) is a signal input and is the normal method for turning themodem ON or OFF. However, Pin 35 cannot turn the modem on if Pin 37 is low,because the modem will not have power applied to it. offdly=0 only affects thepowering off of the device, not power on.Parameter Min Typ Max UnitsEnable Threshold Voltage 1.5 VBAT VEnable Input Current 1.5 µAPulldown approximately 1MΩ.The modem may not completely shut down/reset even with a mechanical powerswitch or this circuit implemented if the modem’s I/O lines have another source ofpower that applies voltage to the modem.To alleviate this situation, make sure that the interface circuitry is set to tri-stateor as an input. If this is not possible, you may need additional hardware to shunthigh impedance lines to ground during these situations.The un-switched power source must be capable of supporting the inrush currentrequired by the bulk capacitance. The enable switch can be soft-started viavoltage ramp or modulation to reduce the peak current as needed.DO NOT USE a Modem Power Switch as a routine shutdown or reset. Thistechnique for shutting down the modem does not properly deregister themodem from the network. The carrier may impose penalties if a fleet ofequipment does not routinely follow a proper deregistration process. If you wishto use this method routinely, you should gracefully detatch from the networkfirst. This can be done by sending AT$OFF.Phone On - PON (PIN 35)This input signals the modem to start and is equivalent to a “phone power button”.
- 32 -A falling-edge on this Active-Low input will switch-ON or switch-OFF the module. Thefirmware controlled OFF function will deregister the modem from the network beforeshutting the modem OFF.This input has a “weak pull-up” resistor internal to the module. If users want the modem toautomatically come on when power is applied, they can tie this line low.If RTC Sleep is required, then the PON line must be floated to allow the internal resistor topull the line high.Controlling the PON signal must only be performed by an open collector/open drain device. Ifcontrolling this signal from a microprocessor’s I/O pin, the PON can be pulled low when theI/O is configured to be an output and floated high by reconfiguring the pin to be an input.The AT$OFFDLY Command controls the OFF Delay. A value of 0 disables thePON line from turning the module off. 0 is the default value.To enable the module to switch-OFF via PON you must set AT$OFFDLY to avalue other than 0. The valid range is 100 to 1000 milliseconds.Internal Power SwitchThe modem has an internal power switch that supplies the modem operating power whenON.Figure 4-7 Internal Power Switch

Do not connect current loads to this pin.When driving external circuitry, this pin should be decoupled to ground with at least a 0.1 µFcapacitor at the output.This pin can be left open if not driving external circuitry. Noiseinduced on this pin will affect the performance of the baseband.USB (PINS 1, 3, 5, 7)As part of integrated products carrier certification, most carriers require access tothe USB diagnostic port to control the module for testing. If the integrator has notalready brought out the USB interface, it is recommended that the USB interfacebe routed to test points on the device, at a minimum.

RTS and CTS may be used forhardware handshaking. DTR may be used to force the modem into AT command mode fromonline data mode (See AT Command Document, command AT&D). The serial interface is 1.8 Vlogic. By default, hardware handshaking (AT+IFC) is disabled. If the integrator does not wishto use flow control, disable hardware flow control in the modem using the AT+IFC command.For a minimal Serial implementation use the following configuration:lConnect RxData (pin 15) and TxData (pin 21) to the COM port serial data lines.lSet AT+IFC=0,0 to disable flow control.Notes:

The signal is low when a headset is inserted.Circuit ProtectionOther than very low level ESD protection within the module’s integrated circuits, the moduledoes not have any protection against ESD events or other excursions that exceed thespecified operating parameters. Only the USB port has onboard ESD/transient protection. Wedo not recommend using additional external transient protection for this port as it will causetoo much capacitance on the lines.
- 40 -Generally, ESD protection (typically TVS/Transzorb devices) should be added to all signalsthat leave the host board. This includes VBAT/VCC.Series resistors (typically 47 ohms) can also be added in series with data lines to limit the peakcurrent during a voltage excursion.It is your responsibility to protect the module from electrical disturbances andexcursions that exceed the specified operating parameters.
