Operating Modes The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred in the following chapters. Table 5: Overview of Operating Modes Mode Details Normal Operation UMTS Idle Software is active. The module has registered to the UMTS network and the module is ready to send and receive data. UMTS Talk/Data UMTS connection is ongoing. In this mode, the power consumption is decided by network setting (e.g. TPC pattern) and data transfer rate. HSPA Idle Software is active. The module has registered to the HSPA network and the module is ready to send and receive data. HSPA Data HSPA data transfer is ongoing. In this mode, the power consumption is decided by network setting (e.g. TPC pattern) and data transfer rate. Minimum Functionality Mode AT+CFUN command can set the module entering into a minimum functionality mode without removing the power supply. In this case, both RF function and USIM card will be invalid. Sleep Mode In this mode, the current consumption of the module will be reduced to the minimal level. During this mode, the module can still receive paging message, SMS and voice call from the network normally. Power Down Mode In this mode, the power management unit shuts down the power supply for the baseband part and RF part. Only the power supply for RTC remains. Software is not active. The serial interface is not accessible. Operating voltage (connected to VBAT_RF and VBAT_BB) remains applied. 3.5. Power Saving 3.5.1. Sleep Mode UG95 is able to reduce its current consumption to a minimum value during the sleep mode. The following section describes power saving procedure of UG95. 3.5.1.1.

UMTS/HSPA Module Series UG95 Hardware Design UG95_Hardware_Design Confidential / Released 24 / 67 3.6. Power Supply 3.6.1. Power Supply Pins UG95 provides four VBAT pins dedicated to connect with the external power supply. There are two separate voltage domains for VBAT.  VBAT_RF with two pads for module RF.  VBAT_BB with two pads for module baseband. The following table shows the VBAT pins and ground pins.

Decrease Voltage Drop The power supply range of the module is 3.4V~ 4.3V. Because of the voltage drop during the transmitting time, a bypass capacitor of about 100µF with low ESR should be used. Multi-layer ceramic chip (MLCC) capacitor can provide the best combination of low ESR. Three ceramic capacitors (100nF, 33pF, 10pF) are recommended to be applied to the VBAT pins. The capacitors should be placed close to the UG95’s VBAT pins. The following figure shows star structure of the power supply. The main power supply from an external application has to be a single voltage source and has to be expanded to two sub paths with star structure. In addition, in order to get a stable power source, it is suggested to use a zener diode of whose reverse zener voltage is 5.1V and dissipation power is more than 0.5W.

Make sure the input voltage will never drop below 3.4V. If the voltage drops below 3.4V, the module will turn off automatically. The PCB traces from the VBAT pins to the power source must be wide enough to ensure that there isn’t too much voltage drop occurs in the transmitting procedure. The width of VBAT_BB trace should be no less than 1mm, and the width of VBAT_RF trace should be no less than 2mm, and the principle of the VBAT trace is the longer, the wider. 3.6.3. Reference Design for Power Supply The power design for the module is very important, since the performance of power supply for the module largely depends on the power source. The power supply is capable of providing the sufficient current up to 2A at least. If the voltage drop between the input and output is not too high, it is suggested to use a LDO to supply power for module. If there is a big voltage difference between the input source and the desired output (VBAT), a buck converter is preferred to be used as a power supply. The following figure shows a reference design for +5V input power source. The designed output for the power supply is 3.88V and the maximum load current is 3A.

After logging off, module sends out “OK”, and then sends out “POWERED DOWN” and shut down the internal power supply. The power on VBAT pins is not allowed to turn off before the URC “POWERED DOWN” is output to avoid data loss. If logging off is not done within 60s, module will shut down internal power supply forcibly. After that moment, the module enters the power down mode, no other AT commands can be executed and only the RTC is still active. The power down mode can also be indicated by the STATUS pin. 3.7.2.2.

RTC Interface The RTC (Real Time Clock) can be powered by an external capacitor through the pin VRTC when the module is powered down and there is no power supply for the VBAT. If the voltage supply at VBAT is disconnected, the RTC can be powered by the capacitor. The capacitance determines the duration of buffering when no voltage is applied to UG95. The capacitor is charged from the internal LDO of UG95 when there is power supply for the VBAT. A serial 1KΩ resistor had been placed on the application inside the module. It limits the input current of the capacitor. The following figure shows the reference circuit for VRTC backup. Large Capacitance CapacitorModuleRTC Core1KVRTCC Figure 16: RTC Supply from Capacitor In order to evaluate the capacitance of capacitor according to the backup time, we have to consider the following parameters:  VRTC - The starting voltage of the capacitor. ( Volt)  VRTCMIN - The minimum voltage acceptable for the RTC circuit.( Volt)  I - The current consumption of the RTC circuitry when VBAT = 0.(Ampere)  B Time - Backup Time.(Second)  C - The backup capacitance. (Farad) NOTE
UMTS/HSPA Module Series UG95 Hardware Design UG95_Hardware_Design Confidential / Released 34 / 67 When the power is off and only VRTC is running, the way of calculating the backup capacitor as follows: C= B Time *I/( VRTC-VRTCMIN) For example, when the capacitor is 1000uF:  VRTC = 1.8V  VRTCMIN = 1.0V  I = 2uA  C = 1000uF The backup time is about 400s. 3.10.

The impedance of USB differential trace is 90ohm.  Pay attention to the influence of junction capacitance of ESD component on USB data lines. Typically, the capacitance value should be less than 2pF such as ESD9L5.0ST5G.  Do not route signal traces under crystals, oscillators, magnetic devices and RF signal traces. It is important to route the USB differential traces in inner-layer with ground shielding not only upper and lower layer but also right and left side.  Keep the ESD components as closer to the USB connector as possible.  It is suggested to reserve RC circuit near USB connector for debug. The USB interface is recommended to be reserved for firmware upgrade in your design. The following figure shows the recommended test points.
