Power Supply
– The power supply is one of the key issue in the design of a GSM
terminal
– A weak power supply design could affect phase and frequency
error, spurious emission, EMC performances
– Voltage range for VBATT : 3.4V – 4.2V. Nominal 3.8V
– When using a switching regulator, a 500kHz or more switching
frequency regulator is preferable because of its smaller inductor size
and its faster transient response.
– Power consumption in idle mode:
• 17 mA
– Beware to the current provided !
• 2A peak during Tx bursts

exceed 10 cm

ON/OFF
– To turn on the module the pad ON must be tied low for at least 1
second and then released.
– The maximum current that can be drained from the ON pad is 0,1 mA.
– Don't use any pull up resistor on the ON line, it is internally pulled up.
– The line ON must be connected only in open collector configuration.

RESET
– Active low
– To unconditionally reboot the module, the pad RESET# must be tied low
for at least 200 milliseconds and then released.
– The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pad is 0,15 mA.

AUDIO
• 2 MICROPHONES
– 4 lines MIC_MT+, MIC_MT- , MIC_HF+ , MIC_HF– Can be used in differential or single ended mode but differential
mode is preferable to have better acoustic performances
– Audio filters are present inside the module
• 2 SPEAKER

PCB placement and layout Advises
Placement phase is as important as the layout phase : a bad
placement lead to a bad layout and inevitably to EMC problems.
Placement must be done by function (power upply,SIM,audio,RF,…)
Specific constraints must be applied to the placement:
– Electrical
• E.g. :Power supply part must not be placed too close to the
audio one
– Mechanical
– …

LAYOUT REVIEW - BASEBAND & RF
• Baseband and radio layout Review targets are :
– Check all sensitive signal tracks for all PCB layers
• VBATT ,audio tracks, SIM tracks
• EMC approach in PCB analysis
– Check ground planes
• Ground plane present on top close to module
• Great number of via in GND layer

LAYOUT REVIEW - BASEBAND & RF
• Layout checked by signal type
– Power
– Digital very fast
– Digital fairly fast
– Digital slow
– Analog (Audio, ADC)
– RF
• Ground separation between each signal type verified
• Recommendation: 4 layers mini with ground plane

LAYOUT REVIEW - POWER SUPPLY
• Recommendations
– +VBATT 2.5mm typical width.
– Ground plane on the Main board is strongly recommended.
– Ground separation is recommended between each signal type.
– Micro via are used to connect each layer of ground
– The use of a good common ground plane is suggested.
– The power supply input cables should be kept separate from
noise sensitive lines such as microphone/earphone cables.

LAYOUT REVIEW - AUDIO
• Basic recommendations to have better acoustic performances
– The speaker lines must be routed in parallel and shielded , without
any wire in between these lines
– The microphone lines must be routed in parallel and shielded ,
without any wire in between these lines
– All the filtering components (RLC) must be placed as close as
possible to the associated MIC and EAR pins
– A specific audio-ground can be used to reduce TDMA noise
– The recommended traces width is 0,3mm

TELIT SERVICES
Generally, Most of the time problems in a design are detected too late (after
layout phase and sometimes after manufacturing beginning).
The sooner we are involved in a customer design , the better the
final result will be.
Advise to system integrator to perform a schematic review as
soon as his schematics are completed.
Advise to system integrator to perform a layout review before
application manufacturing.
HW support experts group is dedicated to answer any HW related
questions/open points customers may have during the integration
project or during field support.

APPROVAL
Telit modules are assessed to be conform to the R&TTE Directive as stand-alone
product, so if the module is installed in conformance with Telit installation
instructions require no further evaluation under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive
and do not require further involvement of a R&TTE Directive Notified Body for the final
product.
In all other cases, or if the manufacturer of the final product is in doubt then the
equipment integrating the radio module must be assessed against Article 3.2 of the
R&TTE Directive.
In all cases assessment of the final product must be made against the Essential
requirements of the R&TTE Directive Articles 3.1(a) and (b), safety and EMC
respectively, and any relevant Article 3.3 requirements.
