GR47/GR48 Technical description 3.2.1 General Protection Requirements All 2.75V digital inputs shall continuously withstand any voltage from -0.5V up to 3.47V (3.3V + 5%) in the power-on or power-off condition with no damage. All 2.75V digital outputs shall continuously withstand a short circuit to any voltage within the range from 0V to 3V.
Digital Ground AGND Analogue Ground There are two ground signals in GR 47/48, Analogue Ground (AGND) and Digital Ground (DGND). The analogue Ground is connected to pin number 60, and the Digital Ground is connected to the System Connector Interface through pin numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and Note: All the Ground pins have to be connected to the application.
Current Drive capability at TX Full Power < 600 mA (average)) < 2 A (Peak) GR 47/48 have not internal capacitance to supply the large current peaks during GSM transmission. Therefore on burst transmission the application DC source is responsible for providing the appropriate current.
GR47/GR48 Technical description ON/OFF and External Power Signals Pins Name Description ON/OFF Square signal to turn on/off the module External power supply 3.5.1 Module ON/OFF The module is powered ON/OFF by grounding (pulling low) pin 14 as per figure 3.2 below. The pin should then be released as it has an internal pull up to return it to the high state.
GR47/GR48 Technical description 3.5.2 External 2.75 V (VIO) The VIO has been derived from a 2.75 V regulator. It is possible to use this output as a power supply at 2.75 V with a maximum of 75mA. It will indicate that the module is alive and it could power external devices.
GR47/GR48 Technical description Analogue Audio Pins Name Description AFMS Audio From Mobile Station ATMS Audio To Mobile Station AGND Reference for analogue audio ATMS and AFMS are the audio input and output for the module. The analogue audio signals can be used in two different modes, Handsfree and Portable Handsfree.
GR47/GR48 Technical description 3.6.2 Audio From Mobile Station (AFMS) AFMS is the analogue audio output from the module. When it is active, the output is derived from the PCM digital audio by the decoder part of the CODEC. The PCM data comes from PCMI on the system connector.

GR47/GR48 Technical description The serial channels are used as asynchronous communication links between an application system or accessory units connected to the Module. They consist of three UART's. • UART 1 – This has full RS232 and is used for all on and off line communication.
GR47/GR48 Technical description 3.10.1 UART 1 (RS232) - RD, TD, RTS, CTS, DTR, DCD, DSR and RI The UART1 signals form a 9 pin RS-232 (V.24) serial port. The signal levels do not match the standard RS-232 (V.28) levels. The relationship between the levels is shown in the table below RS - 232 Level RD, TD...
GR47/GR48 Technical description 3.10.3 Control Signals - RTS, CTS, DTR, DCD, RI, DSR The control signals are active low, and hence when a standard interface IC is used (such as MAX3237), then standard RS-232 levels are obtained. These signals together with DGND, RD and TD form a 9-pin RS-232 data port (with the exception of the voltage levels).

GR47/GR48 Technical description Clear To Send (CTS) CTS is an output from the module. The signals on this circuit are used to indicate that the DCE (the module when used for data transmission purposes) is ready to transmit data. Default level is high. The exact behaviour of CTS is defined by the AT+IFC command.
GR47/GR48 Technical description DSR (Data Set Ready) The DSR signal must be switched on using the at&s command. If DSR is enabled it will indicate an active state (low) if the module is in command mode and inactive (high) if the module is in on line data mode.
GR47/GR48 Technical description Transmitted Data 3 (TD3) TD3 is input (to the module) used by the application system to send data on the UART 3 to the module. The electrical characteristics shall be the same as TD. Received Data 3 (RD3) RD is an output used to send data on the UART 3 to the application system.
GR47/GR48 Technical description 3.11.1 SIM Detection – SIM Presence SIMPRESENCE is an input intended to be used to determine whether a SIM card has been inserted or removed in the external SIM card holder. It shall be normally wired to the "Card Inserted Switch" of the external SIM card holder.

GR47/GR48 Technical description 3.15 TX_ON - Burst Transmission Signal Description TX_ON GSM module on transmission The TX_ON is a digital signal output. This shall indicate that the module is going to transmit the burst. Burst transmission is the time when a GSM transceiver unit is transmitting in its timeslot assigned by the network.
GR47/GR48 Technical description In Back-up operation if the voltage drop below 1 Volt, the RTC shall stop working. The following diagram shows the RTC connection: Figure 3.6 RTC connection 3.17 Extended IO capabilities In order to increase the flexibility and variety of GR47 peripherals, the RS232 hardware flow control shares its physical interface with the keypad scanning interface and extended general purpose IO capability.
GR47/GR48 Technical description 3.17.2 I#/O# When not being used for an alternative function the pins labelled I# and O# may be used for general purpose inputs or outputs respectively. The inputs have an on-board 100k pull-up resistor and the outputs are driven rail-to-rail at 2.75V levels. 3.17.3 UART3/IO# The UART3 pins have been given alternative functions as general purpose I/O, both pins may be used for either input or output.
GR47/GR48 Technical description 3.18 Keyboard interface To increase IO capabilities, the GR47 optimises the IO by multiplexing or sharing different features on single pins. The IO has been extended to allow simple interfacing of a matrix keypad. 3.18.1 IO#/KEYROW# When configured for keypad operation the software will configure the digital IO pins as input or high impedance tri-state.
GR47/GR48 Technical description 4 Antenna Connector The Antenna Connector is a hub for transmission of the Radio Frequency (RF) signals from the module to the external customer- supplied antenna. It is a MMCX connector that is mounted on the surface of the module. Most dealers should be able to supply this type of connector.
GR47/GR48 Technical description 5 AT Command Summary The AT standard is a line-oriented command language. "AT" is an abbreviation of ATtention and it is always used to start sending a command line from a TE to the TA. TE stands for Terminal Equipment which is a computer of any size and TA stands for Terminal Adapter which is the modem part of the module.
