Hardware Commands 4.1. Turning on the UE910 V2 module To turn on the UE910 V2, the pad ON_OFF* must be tied low for at least 1 second and then released. The maximum current that can be drained from the ON_OFF* pad is 0.1 mA. A simple circuit to power on the module is illustrated below: 4.1.1. Initialization and Activation State Upon turning on UE910 V2 module, the UE910 V2 module is not active yet because the boot sequence of UE910 V2 is still executing internally. It takes about 10 seconds to complete the initialization of the module internally. For this reason, it would be useless to try to access UE910 V2 during the Initialization state as below. The UE910 V2 module needs at least 10 seconds after the PWRMON goes High to become operational by reaching the activation state.
UE910 V2 Hardware User Guide 1VV0301065 Rev.1 – 2013-12-12 Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Page 21 of 67 During the Initialization state, any kind of AT-command is not available. DTE must wait for the Activation state to communicate with UE910 V2. To check if the UE910 V2 has powered on, the hardware line VAUX/PWRMON must be monitored. When VAUX/PWRMON goes high, the module has powered on. NOTE: Do not use any pull up resistor on the ON_OFF* line. It is pulled up with 250kΩ internally. Using a pull up resistor may bring latch up problems on the UE910 V2 power regulator and improper power on/off of the module. The line ON_OFF* must be connected only in open collector configuration. NOTE: In this document all the lines are inverted. Active low signals are labeled with a name that ends with "*" or with a bar over the name. NOTE: In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the UE910 V2 module when the module is powered OFF or during an ON/OFF transition. For example: 1. To drive the ON_OFF* pad with a totem pole output of a +3/5 V microcontroller (uP_OUT1): 2. To drive the ON_OFF* pad directly with an ON/OFF button:

Turning off the UE910 V2 module Turning off the device can be done in two ways:  via AT command (see UE910 V2 Software User Guide, AT#SHDN)  by tying low pin ON_OFF* Either ways, the device issues a detach request to network informing that the device will not be reachable any more. To turn OFF the UE910 V2 the pad ON_OFF* must be tied low for at least 2 seconds and then released. TIP: To check if the device has powered off, hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. The device is powered off when PWRMON goes low. NOTE: In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the UE910 V2 when the module is powered OFF or during an ON/OFF transition. 4.2.1. Turning OFF by AT Command The UE910 V2 can be shut down by a software command. When a shutdown command is sent, the UE910 V2 goes into the finalization state and will shut down PWRMON at the end of this state. The period of the finalization state can vary according to the state of the UE910 V2 so it cannot be fixed definitely. Normally it will be 10 seconds after sending a shutdown command and DTE should monitor the status of PWRMON to see the actual power off.

Turning OFF by tying low ON_OFF* To turn OFF the UE910 V2 the pad ON_OFF* must be tied low for at least 2 seconds and then released. The same circuitry and timing for the power on must be used. When the hold time of ON_OFF* is above 2 seconds, the UE910 V2 goes into the finalization state and will shut down PWRMON at the end of this state. The period of the finalization state can vary according to the state of the UE910 V2 so it cannot be fixed definitely. Normally it will be 10 seconds after releasing ON_OFF* and DTE should monitor the status of PWRMON to see the actual power off. 4.3. Summary of Turning ON and OFF the Module The chart below describes the overall sequences for turning ON and OFF the module.

Hardware Unconditional Shutdown The Unconditional shutdown of the module could be activated using the HW_SHUTDOWN* line(pad R13). WARNING: The hardware unconditional shutdown must NOT be used during normal operation of the device since it does not detach the device from the network. It shall be used as an emergency exit procedure. To unconditionally shutdown the UE910 V2, the pad HW_SHUTDOWN* must be tied low for at least 0.8 seconds and then released. NOTE: Do not use any pull up resistor on the HW_SHUTDOWN* line nor any totem pole digital output. It is pulled up internally to VBATT with 57kΩ. Using an external pull up resistor may bring latch up problems on the UE910 V2 power regulator and improper functioning of the module. The line HW_SHUTDOWN* must be connected only in open collector configuration. The HW_SHUTDOWN* will generate an unconditional shutdown of the module without an automatic restart. The module will shutdown but will NOT perform the detach from the cellular network. To proper power on again the module please refer to 4.1 Turning ON the UE910 V2. TIP: The unconditional hardware shutdown must always be implemented on the boards and the software must use it only as an emergency exit procedure. A simple circuit to unconditionally shutdown the module is illustrated below:

Power Supply The power supply circuitry and board layout are a very important part in the full product design and they strongly reflect on the product’s overall performance. Read carefully the requirements and the guidelines that follow for a proper design. 5.1. Power Supply Requirements The external power supply must be connected to VBATT & VBATT_PA signals and must fulfill the following requirements: Power Supply Nominal Supply Voltage 3.8V Normal Operating Voltage range 3.4V ~ 4.2V Extended Operating Voltage range 3.4V ~ 4.5V NOTE: The Operating Voltage Range MUST never be exceeded. Special care must be taken when designing the application’s power supply section to avoid having an excessive voltage drop. If the voltage drop is exceeding the limits it could cause a Power Off of the module.. Behavior in the extended operating voltage range might deviate from 3GPP specification.

Power Supply Requirements Current Consumption Mode Average (mA) Mode Description Power off current (Typical) < 10uA Standby mode No call in progress AT+CFUN=1 22 Normal mode; full functionality of the module AT+CFUN=4 20 Disabled TX and RX; modules is not registered on the network AT+CFUN=0 or AT+CFUN=5 4.8/1.2* Power saving; CFUN=0 module registered on the network and can receive voice call or an SMS; but it is not possible to send AT commands; module wakes up with an unsolicited code (call or SMS) or rising RTS line. CFUN=5 full functionality with power saving; Module registered on the network can receive incoming call sand SMS Tx and Rx mode A call in progress Max Power Mode 700 WCDMA/HSDPA voice/data call Max Power Mode 700 440 EU : GPRS Class12 NA : GPRS Class10 Max Power Mode 420 270 EU : EGPRS Class12 NA : EGPRS Class10 *Worst/best case depends on network configuration and is not under module control. TIP: The electrical design for the power supply should be made ensuring it will be capable of a peak current output of at least 2A. In GSM/GPRS mode, RF transmission is not continuous and it is packed into bursts at a base frequency of about 216 Hz, and the relative current peaks can be as high as about 2A. Therefore the power supply has to be designed in order to withstand these current peaks without big voltage drops; this means that both the electrical design and the board layout must be designed for this current flow. If the layout of the PCB is not well designed, a strong noise floor is generated on the ground; this will reflect on all the audio paths producing an audible annoying noise at 216 Hz; if the voltage drops during the peak, current absorption is too much. The device may even shut down as a consequence of the supply voltage drop.

General Design Rules The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps:  the electrical design  the thermal design  the PCB layout 5.3.1. Electrical Design Guidelines The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly on the power source where this power is drained. We will distinguish them into three categories:  +5V input (typically PC internal regulator output)  +12V input (typically automotive)  Battery 5.3.2. + 5V Input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines  The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence there is not a big difference between the input source and the desired output so a linear regulator can be used. A switching power supply will not be suitable because of the low drop-out requirements.  When using a linear regulator, a proper heat sink must be provided in order to dissipate the power generated.  A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current absorption peaks close to the UE910 V2. A tantalum 100μF capacitor is usually suited.  Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually a tantalum one) is rated at least 10V.  A protection diode must be inserted close to the power input in order to save the UE910 V2 from power polarity inversion.
UE910 V2 Hardware User Guide 1VV0301065 Rev.1 – 2013-12-12 Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Page 29 of 67 An example of a linear regulator with 5V input: 5.3.3. +12V Input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines  The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence due to the big difference between the input source and the desired output, a linear regulator is not suitable and must not be used. A switching power supply would be preferable because of its better efficiency, especially with the 2A peak current load represented by UE910 V2.  When using a switching regulator, a 500 kHz or more switching frequency regulator is preferable because of its smaller inductor size and its faster transient response. This allows the regulator to respond quickly to the current peaks absorption.  In any case, the frequency and switching design selection is related to the application to be developed due to the fact the switching frequency could also generate EMC interferences.  For car PB battery the input voltage can rise up to 15.8V and this must be kept in mind when choosing components: all components in the power supply must withstand this voltage.  A bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current absorption peaks. A 100μF tantalum capacitor is usually suited for this.  Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually a tantalum one) is rated at least 10V.  For car applications a spike protection diode must be inserted close to the power input in order to clean the supply from spikes.  A protection diode must be inserted close to the power input in order to save the UE910 V2 from power polarity inversion. This can be the same diode as for spike protection.

Page 30 of 67 An example of switching regulator with 12V input is in the schematic below: 5.3.4. Battery Source Power Supply Design Guidelines The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V and the maximum voltage allowed is 4.2V. A single 3.7V lithium-ion cell battery type is ideal to supply power to the Telit UE910 V2 module. WARNING: The three battery cells (Ni/Cd or Ni/MH 3.6V nom. battery types or 4V PB types) MUST NOT be used directly because their maximum voltage can rise over the absolute maximum voltage for the UE910 V2 and cause damage. USE only Li-Ion battery types.  A bypass low (usually a 100uF tantalum) ESR capacitor with adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current absorption peaks.  Make sure the low ESR capacitor (usually a tantalum) is rated at least 10V.  A protection diode must be inserted close to the power input in order to protect the UE910 V2 module from power polarity inversions when connecting the battery.  The battery capacity must be at least 500mAh in order to withstand the current peaks of 2A. The suggested battery capacity is from 500mAh to 1000mAh. 5.3.5. Thermal Design Guidelines The thermal design for the power supply heat sink must be done with the following specifications: Average current consumption during GSM/WCDMA @PWR level max : 700mA NOTE: The average consumption during transmissions depends on the power level at which the device is requested to transmit via the network. The average current consumption hence varies significantly.
UE910 V2 Hardware User Guide 1VV0301065 Rev.1 – 2013-12-12 Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Page 31 of 67 Considering the very low current during idle, especially if the Power Saving function is enabled, it is possible to consider from the thermal point of view that the device absorbs current significantly only during calls. If we assume that the device stays in transmission for short periods of time (a few minutes) and then remains for quite a long time in idle (one hour), then the power supply always has time to cool down between the calls and the heat sink could be smaller than the calculated for 700mA maximum RMS current. There could even be a simple chip package (no heat sink). Moreover in average network conditions the device is requested to transmit at a lower power level than the maximum and hence the current consumption will be less than 700mA (usually around 200 mA). For these reasons the thermal design is rarely a concern and the simple ground plane where the power supply chip is placed can be enough to ensure a good thermal condition and avoid overheating. The heat generated by the UE910 V2 must be taken into consideration during transmission at 23.5dBm max during calls. This generated heat will be mostly conducted to the ground plane under the UE910 V2. The application must be able to dissipate heat. In the GSM/WCDMA mode, since UE910 V2 emits RF signals continuously during transmission, special attention must be paid to how to dissipate the heat generated. The current consumption will be up to about 700mA in GSM/WCDMA continuously at the maximum TX output power. Thus, you must arrange the area on the application PCB must be as large as possible under UE910 V2. The UE910 V2 must be mounted on the large ground area of the application board and make many ground vias to dissipate the heat. 5.3.6. Power Supply PCB layout Guidelines As seen in the electrical design guidelines, the power supply must have a low ESR capacitor on the output to cut the current peaks and a protection diode on the input to protect the supply from spikes and polarity inversion. The placement of these components is crucial for the correct operation of the circuitry. A misplaced component can be useless or can even decrease the power supply performance.  The bypass low ESR capacitor must be placed close to the Telit UE910 V2 power input pads, or if the power supply is a switching type, the capacitor can be placed close to the inductor to cut the ripple if the PCB trace from the capacitor to UE910 V2 is wide enough to ensure a drop-less connection even during the 2A current peaks.  The protection diode must be placed close to the input connector where the power source is drained.  The PCB traces from the input connector to the power regulator IC must be wide enough to ensure no voltage drops occur when the 2A current peaks are absorbed. While a voltage drop of hundreds of mV may be acceptable from the power loss point of view, the same voltage drop may not be acceptable from the noise point of view. If the application does not have an audio interface but only uses the data feature of the Telit UE910 V2, then this noise is not as disruptive and the power supply layout design can be more forgiving.
UE910 V2 Hardware User Guide 1VV0301065 Rev.1 – 2013-12-12 Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Page 32 of 67  The PCB traces to UE910 V2 and the Bypass capacitor must be wide enough to ensure no significant voltage drops occur when the 2A current peaks are absorbed. This is a must for the same above-mentioned reasons. Try to keep this trace as short as possible.  The PCB traces connecting the switching output to the inductor and the switching diode must be kept as short as possible by placing the inductor and the diode very close to the power switching IC (only for switching power supply). This is done in order to reduce the radiated field (noise) at the switching frequency (usually 100-500 kHz).  The use of a good common ground plane is suggested.  The placement of the power supply on the board must be done in a way to guarantee that the high current return paths in the ground plane are not overlapped with any noise sensitive circuitry such as the microphone amplifier/buffer or earphone amplifier. The power supply input cables must be kept separate from noise sensitive lines such as microphone/earphone cables.

Antenna The antenna connection and board layout design are the most important parts in the full product design and they strongly reflect on the product’s overall performance. Read carefully and follow the requirements and the guidelines for a proper design. 6.1. GSM/WCDMA Antenna Requirements The antenna for a Telit UE910 V2 device must fulfill the following requirements: When using the Telit UE910 V2, since there’s no antenna connector on the module, the antenna must be connected to the UE910 V2 antenna pad (K1) by means of a transmission line implemented in the PCB. In the case that the antenna is not directly connected at the antenna pad of the UE910 V2, then a PCB line is required. This transmission line shall fulfill the following requirements: Antenna Line on PCB Requirements Characteristic Impedance 50Ohm Max Attenuation 0.3dB Coupling with other signals shall be avoided Cold End (Ground Plane) of antenna shall be equipotential to the UE910 V2 ground pads GSM / WCDMA Antenna Requirements Frequency range Depending on the frequency band(s) provided by the network operator, the customer must use the most suitable antenna for that/those band(s) Bandwidth UE910-EU V2 UE910-NA V2 EGSM900 : 80 MHz GSM1800(DCS) : 170 MHz WCDMA FDD-I(2100) : 250 MHz WCDMA FDD-VIII(900) : 80 MHz GSM850 : 70 MHz GSM1900(PCS) : 140 MHz WCDMA FDD-II(1900) : 140 MHz WCDMA FDD-V(850) : 70 MHz Gain Gain < 3dBi Impedance 50 Ohm Input power > 33dBm(2 W) peak power in GSM > 23.5dBm Average power in WCDMA VSWR absolute max <= 5:1(limit to avoid permanent damage) VSWR recommended <= 2:1(limit to fulfill all regulatory requirements)

Page 34 of 67 Furthermore if the device is developed for the US and/or Canada market, it must comply with the FCC and/or IC approval requirements: This device is to be used only for mobile and fixed application. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-Users must be provided with transmitter operation conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. OEM integrators must ensure that the end user has no manual instructions to remove or install the UE910 V2 module. Antennas used for this OEM module must not exceed 2dBi gain for mobile and fixed operating configurations. 6.2. GSM/WCDMA antenna – PCB line Guidelines  Make sure that the transmission line’s characteristic impedance is 50ohm.  Keep line on the PCB as short as possible since the antenna line loss shall be less than around 0.3dB.  Line geometry should have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid meanders and abrupt curves.  Any kind of suitable geometry/structure can be used for implementing the printed transmission line afferent the antenna.  If a Ground plane is required in line geometry, that plane has to be continuous and sufficiently extended so the geometry can be as similar as possible to the related canonical model.  Keep, if possible, at least one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane; If possible, use this layer as reference Ground plane for the transmission line.  It is wise to surround (on both sides) the PCB transmission line with Ground. Avoid having other signal tracks facing directly the antenna line track.  Avoid crossing any un-shielded transmission line footprint with other tracks on different layers.  The Ground surrounding the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the main Ground plane by means of via holes (once per 2mm at least) placed close to the ground edges facing line track.  Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from UE910 V2 antenna line.  Keep the antenna line far away from the UE910 V2 power supply lines.  If EM noisy devices are present on the PCB hosting the UE910 V2, such as fast switching ICs, take care of shielding them with a metal frame cover.  If EM noisy devices are not present around the line use of geometries like Micro strip or Grounded Coplanar Waveguide are preferred since they typically ensure less attenuation when compared to a Strip line having same length. 6.3. GSM/WCDMA Antenna installation Guidelines  Install the antenna in a place covered by the GSM/WCDMA signal.  If the device antenna in the application is located greater then 20cm from the human body and there are no co-located transmitters then the Telit FCC/IC approvals can be re-used by the end product.  Antenna shall not be installed inside metal cases.  Antenna shall be installed also according to antenna manufacture instructions.

RS232 Level Translation In order to interface the Telit UE910 V2 with a PC com port or a RS232 (EIA/TIA-232) application, a level translator is required. This level translator must:  Invert the electrical signal in both directions  Change the level from 0/1.8V to +/-15V Actually, the RS232 UART 16450, 16550, 16650 & 16750 chipsets accept signals with lower levels on the RS232 side (EIA/TIA-562), allowing a lower voltage-multiplying ratio on the level translator. Note that the negative signal voltage must be less than 0V and hence some sort of level translation is always required. The simplest way to translate the levels and invert the signal is by using a single chip level translator. There is a multitude of them, differing in the number of drivers and receivers and in the levels (be sure to get a true RS232 level translator not a RS485 or other standards). By convention the driver is the level translator from the 0-1.8V UART to the RS232 level. The receiver is the translator from the RS232 level to 0-1.8V UART. In order to translate the whole set of control lines of the UART you will need:  5 drivers  3 receivers An example of RS232 level adaption circuitry could be accomplished using a MAXIM transceiver (MAX218). In this case the chipset is capable of translating directly from 1.8V to the RS232 levels (Example on 4 signals only). The RS232 serial port lines are usually connected to a DB9 connector with the following layout:

Audio Section Overview The UE910 V2 provides an analog audio interface and digital audio interface. 9.1. Analog Audio Interface The UE910 V2 provides an analog audio interface; one differential input for audio to be transmitted(Uplink) and a balanced output for audio to be received(Downlink). The bias for the microphone has to be as clean as possible; the first connection (single ended) is preferable since the Vmic noise and ground noise are fed into the input as common mode and then rejected. This sounds strange; usually the connection to use in order to reject the common mode is the balanced one. In this situation we have to recall that the microphone is a sound to current transducer, so the resistor is the current to tension transducer, so finally the resistor feeds the input in balanced way even if the configuration, from a microphone point of view, seems to be un-balanced.

Page 44 of 67 TIP: Since the J-FET transistor inside the microphone acts as RF-detector-amplifier, ask vendor for a microphone with anti-EMI capacitor (usually a 33pF or a 10pF capacitor placed across the output terminals inside the case). 9.1.2. LIN-IN Connection (TBD) If the audio source is not a mike but a different device, the following connections can be done. Place 100nF capacitor in series with both inputs, so the DC current is blocked. Place the 33pF-100Ohm-33pF RF-filter, in order to prevent some EMI field to get into the high impedance high gain MIC inputs. Since the input is differential, the common mode voltage noise between the two (different) grounds is rejected, provided that both AF_IN+ & AF_IN- are connected directly onto the source.

EAR Connection The audio output of the UE910 V2 is balanced, this is helpful to double the level and to reject common mode (click and pop are common mode and therefore rejected). These outputs can drive directly a small loudspeaker with electrical impedance not lower than 32Ohm. TIP: in order to get the maximum audio level at a given output voltage level (dBspl/Vrms), the following breaking through procedure can be used. Have the loudspeaker as close as you can to the listener (this simplify also the echo cancelling); choose the loudspeaker with the higher sensitivity (dBspl per W); choose loudspeakers with the impedance close to the limit in order to feed more power inside the transducer (it increases the W/Vrms ratio). If this were not enough, an external amplifier should be used.

Logic Level Specification Where not specifically stated, all the interface circuits work at 1.8V CMOS logic levels. The following table shows the logic level specifications used in the UE910 V2 interface circuits: Absolute Maximum Ratings -Not Functional Parameter Min Max Input level on any digital pin (CMOS 1.8) with respect to ground -0.3V 2.3V Operating Range - Interface levels (1.8V CMOS) Parameter Min Max Input high level 1.5V 2.1V Input low level 0.0V 0.35V Output high level 1.35V 1.8V Output low level 0.0V 0.45V Current characteristics Parameter Typical Output Current 2mA Input Current 30uA 10.2. Using a GPIO Pad as Input The GPIO pads, when used as inputs, can be connected to a digital output of another device and report its status, provided this device has interface levels compatible with the 1.8V CMOS levels of the GPIO. If the digital output of the device to be connected with the GPIO input pad has interface levels different from the 1.8V CMOS, then it can be buffered with an open collector transistor with a 47KΩ pull-up resistor to 1.8V. NOTE: In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the module when it is powered OFF or during an ON/OFF transition.
