TPM10 www.sercomm.com 2 Cat-M1 Module Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This device complies with FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: 1) The antenna must be installed such that 20 cm is maintained between the antenna and users, and
TPM10 www.sercomm.com 3 Cat-M1 Module 2) The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not be required. However, the OEM integrator is still responsible for testing their end-product for any additional compliance requirements required with this module installed IMPORTANT NOTE: In the event that these conditions can not be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the OEM integrator will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. End Product Labeling This transmitter module is authorized only for use in device where the antenna may be installed such that 20 cm may be maintained between the antenna and users. The final end product must be labeled in a visible area with the following: “Contains FCC ID: P27-TPM10”. The grantee's FCC ID can be used only when all FCC compliance requirements are met. Manual Information To the End User The OEM integrator has to be aware not to provide information to the end user regarding how to install or remove this RF module in the user’s manual of the end product which integrates this module. The end user manual shall include all required regulatory information/warning as show in this manual. RF typical circuit The RF inter-connect called P1 is for example purposes only. Depending on the antenna, interfacing system will dictate the RF inter-connect. Below picture is showing RF typical circuit. LTE-ANT0 is the primary(main) antenna pin and carries TX and RX signals. Connect 50 Ohm transmission lines from this pins to the 50 Ohm Primary Antenna/Antenna connetors. The picture RF typical circuit shows, included in the connection between ANT and the antenna connectors, T-type network for matching.

TPM10 www.sercomm.com DOC-6696710 5 Cat-M1 Module 1. Functional Overview TPM10 module provides the interconnection between Cat-M1 networks and terminals.  Interconnection with Cat-M1 − TPM10 module receives and processes signals sent from Cat-M1 networks, and then sends commands or data to terminals for performing the operation and maintenance (O&M). − The module receives data and commands from terminals, transferring those data and commands to Cat-M1 networks, and then delivers them to application servers (ASs).  Interconnection with terminals − TPM10 module reads and uploads terminal data to the Cat-M1 networks. − The module receives commands from the Cat-M1 networks and performs O&M for terminals. 1.1. Block Circuit Diagram TPM10 module is based on the SQN3330 Cat-M1 baseband and developed for 3GPP E-UTRA and Wireless LTE Cat-M1 UE specification. The image below shows the module block diagram:
TPM10 www.sercomm.com DOC-6696710 6 Cat-M1 Module 1.2. Main Module Components The TPM10 includes the following components. A. SQN3330 This module includes SQN3330 Cat-1 baseband, a complete dual band RF front end, memory and required circuitry to meet 3GPP E-UTRA (Long Term Evolution - LTE, Release 13 set of specifications) and Wireless LTE Cat-M1 UE specifications. SQN3330 is a single-chip LTE Cat M1 solution, which is designed specifically for narrowband IoT applications, including sensors, wearables, and other low data, low power M2M and IoT devices. B. RF The RF matching circuit. C. Power system The main power supply is “VBAT1“ and its range is 3.1~4.5V while the “VSIM” power supply (3.0V) is for external SIM circuit. D. Clock in system TPM10 is using 32KHz clock in the module system.
TPM10 www.sercomm.com DOC-6696710 7 Cat-M1 Module 1.3. LTE Low Power Modes This module will automatically enter in low-power mode. It can be woken from low power mode by the following external sources:  SIM_DETECT input signal to cope with SIM card insertion into a SIM card connector with built-in hardware detection. The default configuration to wake-up the module is a low-to-high transition.  The RTS0 input signal whenever data traffic is initiated by the host connected to the module UART0 with hardware flow control; The default configuration to wake-up the module is a high-to-low transition.  Two dedicated input signal WAKE0 and WAKE1; The default configuration to wake-up the module is on a high-to-low transition. This can be modified by software. As example, these signals can be used to detect an alarm from an external IC such as a sensor. Software can disable the wake-up functionality on these signals.  A subset of GPIO input signals: GPIO2, GPIO3, GPIO25, GPIO27, GPIO42; they are not configured by default as wake-up source but software can configure them for future use.

TPM10 www.sercomm.com DOC-6696710 23 Cat-M1 Module 5. EMC The signal integrity and power integrity issues caused by electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) need to be considered when you use the module to design. Below are some suggestions:  The coupling of the module and other digital chips must be deployed remotely as far as possible, in order to avoid mutual interference.  The power supply (CSS), clock, high-speed digital signals, EMI components, and RF simulation parts must be deployed remotely as far as possible.  The CSS, clock, high-speed digital signals, EMI components, and antennas must be coupled remotely as far as possible in space.  During cabling routing, RF reference ground, digital and analog areas should be separated, and all cables are routed in compliance with specified requirements to avoid mutual coupling between lines.  The decoupling capacitor is placed near pins.
