This manual gives a complete set of hardware features and functions that may be provided by W24. The availability of any feature or function, which is described in this manual, depends on the hardware revision and software version of a specific W24 model.
B sections 15.107,15.109. This includes MPE calculation. As the W24 modem is not a standalone transceiver but is an integrated module, the W24 cannot be tested by itself for EME certification. It is, however, the integrator's responsibility to have the completed device tested for EME certification.
Interface connector and some of the module circuits are not shielded. Be sure to take appropriate precautionary measures in order to avoid ESD while handling the module. ESD can damage the W24/G24 modules. Integrators need to design ESD protection on all external interfaces. Antenna and Transmission Safety Precautions User Operation Do not operate your unit when a person is within eight inches (20 centimeters) of the antenna.

The following paragraphs describe in details the hardware requirements for properly interfacing and operating the W24 module. Architecture Overview Figure 2-1 below illustrates the primary functional components of the W24. Figure 2-1: W24 Block Diagram The W24 consists of the following blocks: Digital Block Micro-controller Unit (MCU) for system and application code execution.
Operating Modes W24 incorporates several operating modes. Each operating mode is different in the active features and interfaces. Table 2-1 summarizes the general characteristics of the W24 operating modes and provides general guidelines for operation. Mode VCC supply is disconnected.
Power Supply Power Supply The W24 power supply must be a single external DC voltage source of 3.3V to 4.2V. In order to support the stacked configuration, i.e. when G24 cellular module is coupled on the W24 module, the power supply must be able to sustain the required voltage level during a GSM transmit burst current surge, which may reach 2.0A.
Figure 2-2: Transmission Power Drops Power Consumption Table 2-3 specifies typical W24 current consumption ratings in various operating modes. The current ratings refer to the overall W24 current consumption over the VCC supply. Parameter Description Powered off Powered off with...
When the W24 power supply is stable above the minimum operating level and W24 is powered off, all of its circuits are disabled. When W24 is turned on, by any of the methods described below, it will first perform an automatic initialization. When the initialization has completed, W24 resumes normal operation (stand alone mode), or turns on the G24 module (stacked modules) and resumes normal operation.
Turning the W24 On Using IGN The IGN input signal must be set low when not used. To turn on W24, this signal must be asserted high. The IGN signal must remain high for the duration of the W24 operation. W24 powers down when the IGN signal is returned to its low state.
The ON_N signal is internally pulled-up when power is applied to W24. Asserting the ON_N signal low for a minimum of 2 seconds will turn W24 off. This will initiate a normal power-off process, which includes G24 power down (stacked configuration) and disabling of all applications interfaces (UART, USB, etc.).
Turning the W24 Off Using IGN The IGN signal may be used to power off W24 if the unit was powered-up by the IGN signal. When the IGN signal is set low, W24 will turn off. This will initiate a normal power-off process, which includes G24 power down (stacked configuration) and disabling of all applications interfaces (UART, USB, etc.).
Power On/Off Operation Power Loss shut down A low power shut down occurs when W24 senses that the external power supply is below the minimal operating limit. The module will respond by powering down automatically without notice. This form of power-down is not recommended for regular use since the unexpected power loss may result in loss of data.
Deep Sleep Mode. Activating Low Power Mode By default, the W24 powers on in Idle mode. In this mode, all the W24 interfaces and features are functional and the module is fully active. Sleep mode is activated by setting the AT+iPSE>0.
During low power mode the W24 serial interfaces are disabled. The W24 wakes up periodically from low power mode to monitor the network for data. After this short paging is completed, W24 returns to low power mode. During this short awake period, the serial interfaces are enabled and communications with the module is possible.
The WKUPO_N signal is an active-low W24 output that is asserted high by default. By asserting this signal low, the host can be waked up by W24. WKUPO_N alerts the host that W24 exits from Sleep mode into Idle mode due to network activity (see...
AT+iPSE = 0 command can be received by W24. Deep Sleep Mode In case that W24 cannot locate an active access point or cannot register to it, W24 will enter the Deep Sleep Mode. During Deep Sleep Mode, network connection does not exist. W24 will periodically come out of the Deep Sleep Mode, to attempt to locate APs.
PC, an external transceiver is required. W24 is defined as a DCE device, and the user application is defined as the DTE device. These definitions apply for the UART signals naming conventions, and the direction of data flow, as...
The above signals are routed from 70-pin host connector to G24 70-pin connector via W24. They are not internally connected to W24 circuits. If the W24 will be used as stand alone only, the above pins should be left open.
Pin # The W24 USB electrical interface and protocol conform to the USB 2.0 full-speed specifications. W24 is defined as a USB device on the 70-pin Host Connector. This interface does not support hub or host functionality. USB may be used for standard communications with W24, as done through the UART interface.
SIM Interface For more details on setting a USB interface for use with G24, please refer to the "Motorola W24 Programmer's Guide - At+i Programmers Manual Description" PN 6802985C10. The maximum length of the W24 USB signals is 1m. Note: SIM Interface W24 incorporates SIM interface intended to support G24 SIM interface, in stacked configuration.
The above signals are routed from 70-pin host connector to G24 70-pin connector via W24. They are not internally connected to W24 circuits. If the W24 will be used as stand alone only, the above pins should be left open.
The above signals are routed from 70-pin host connector to G24 70-pin connector via W24. They are not internally connected to W24 circuits. If the W24 will be used as stand alone only, the above pins should be left open.
Unused/Reserved Signals W24 provides an interface to unused and reserved G24 signals, to enable their usage in the future. The signals are directly routed from 70-pin host connector to the 70-pin cellular connector. The above pins should be left open. Here is the summary interface consists of the following pins (see...
W24 is operating. It is set low when W24 is powered off. When the RESET_N signal is low, the W24 interface signals are disabled and do not represent any valid data or state. Furthermore, any input signals connected to the W24 interface must be disabled (tri-state) or set low when RESET_N is low.
Wi-Fi antenna, as well as the cellular antenna, in case that a cellular module like G24 is stacked on the W24. In case of stacked configuration (W24 + G24), a removal of a single or both of the modules antennas, will cause the antenna detect indicator to be set Low.
"Motorola G24 Developer's Guide - Module Hardware Description" PN 6889192V27 Transmission Indicator This signal is routed from the 70-pin host connector to G24 70-pin connector via W24. It is not internally connected to W24 circuits. If the W24 will be used as stand alone only, the signal pin should be left open.
In Stand alone configuration, GPIO pins 1 to 3 act as general purpose inputs. GPIO pins 4 to 7 function as Bluetooth coexistence control/indicators for the W24 to use with a Bluetooth interface in order to avoid RF collision between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi transmission.
Page 54
In stacked configuration, all GPIO signals are routed from G24 to host, and are used as GPIO signals for G24 user application. For more details on implementing a GPIO interface for use with G24, please refer to the "Motorola G24 Developer's Guide - Module Hardware Description" PN 6889192V27 Direction Used only in 3-Wires coexistence.
Table 2-15 gives the antenna interface specifications. It is the Integrator's responsibility to design the antenna or antenna assembly used with the W24. This will highly affect the RF performance of the W24 (signal quality, current consumption etc.). The following guidelines should be followed: Make sure that the antenna or antenna assembly matches the Antenna Interface •...
