Draft 3.0 Manual Overview This document describes the hardware interface of the Enabler EDG0208 GSM/GPRS OEM Modem. The purpose of this document is to define the electrical, mechanical and software interfaces while providing detailed technical information in order to streamline the process of hardware and system integration.
The Enfora Enabler EDG0208 module is available as a quad band version. The Enfora Enabler EDG0208 module is designed to be a drop in replacement for the Enabler II E EDG0108 module. It’s physical size, electrical specifications and physical connectors are identical to the EDG0108 for a seamless transition.
The GSM900 / DCS1800 MHz bands are available for use in Europe and the rest of the world. 4.4 Wireless Data Application Possibilities A variety of applications can use the Enfora Enabler EDG0208 module for transmitting and receiving data and voice, such as: ...
Integration Guide Draft 4.5 General design guidelines for utilizing Enfora GSM modules The following guidelines are provided in an effort to allow Enabler IIE module users to successfully implement their PCB layout to obtain the best performance. This includes the lowest possible EMI emissions, maximum thermal conduction, mechanical integrity, and voice quality.
Integration Guide Draft 4.6 Advanced tips for an RF friendly layout Ground Plane To ensure the lowest possible EMI emissions and maximum thermal conductivity, it is recommended that all metal tabs on the GSM module shield must be soldered down onto a continuous ground plane that runs under the entire module.
Integration Guide Draft Thermal Relief Because the ground plane acts as a large heat sink, it can affect the solderability of components. A common method to reduce this effect is to use thermal relief around the pad in question. However, great care must be taken when using thermal relief for high current or high frequency applications For example, a large thermal relief like the one shown in Figure 2 can serve the purpose for general applications such as low current, low speed data lines, DC connections and audio...
Integration Guide Draft GOOD RF thermal relief Figure 3 - Example of a GOOD RF Thermal Relief Antenna and RF Signal Trace The PCB trace that feeds the RF output port must be designed for a 50 ohm characteristic impedance, coplanar, or routed into internal layers to keep the top layer continuous around and underneath the Enabler module.
Integration Guide Draft Vbat Input The Enabler Vbat input can have a relative high current draw that can fluctuate rapidly, especially when transmitting at max power and burst mode. The Vbat interface must be designed to provide the required instantaneous voltage and current with minimal voltage droop.
Integration Guide Draft Vbat trace Figure 5 - Example of GOOD Vbat layout 4.7 Audio Reference Design The audio quality is very dependent on the circuit design and layout. As an aid to obtaining good audio quality, a reference design has been included below. It has been proven to provide good performance on the SDK module.

Integration Guide Draft 6.2 I/O Connector 60-Pin I/O Connector, SMT, Dual Row, 0.5 mm (.020") Pitch The 60-pin connector on the modem is a Molex 53729-0608. The 60-pin connector required on the host board is a Molex 52974-0604 (or –0608). The mated height of the two connectors is 2.00 mm.
6.4 I/O Signal Connector on the Enfora Enabler EDG0208 Module The Enfora Enabler EDG0208 module communicates with the carrier board of the application via the 60-pin I/O signal connector. The following table describes the pin assignments for the connector, sorted by pin number.
6.5 Circuit Protection Other than the basic low level ESD protection within the module’s integrated circuits (typically 2000 V), the Enabler EDG0208 does not have any protection against ESD events or other excursions that exceed the specified operating parameters. The only exception is that the remote SIM lines on the main I/O connector do have additional ESD protection that should handle standard human-model contact ESD events.
6.7 Control Connector Signal Descriptions and Functions 6.7.1 Input Power The Enfora Enabler EDG0208 module uses a single voltage source of VCC=+3.3V to 4.5V. (exact values of the uplink currents are shown in Tables 5.3.1 GSM Operating Power and 0 GSM Operation...
6.7.2 Ring Indicate The Enabler EDG0208 module is capable of using the Ring line to discern the type of incoming call. The indicator can be monitored via a hardware line available on the 60 pin I/O signal connector. The Ring Indicator pin is #49.
Integration Guide Draft 6.7.3 Radio Power/Reset (Pin 22) A pulse on this Active-High input resets/restarts the module. This input has a “weak pull-down” resistor internal to the module and can be left open-circuit or grounded if it is not going to be used. To initiate a reset, provide a high-pulse of at least 50 ms duration.
Output Voltage – High Rated Output Current The Enabler EDG0208 is designed to be used like a DCE device. RxData is the serial data from the modem to the host. TxData is the serial data from the host to the modem.
