  • Page 34: Turn Off Ac75

    The best and safest approach to powering down AC75 is to issue the AT^SMSO command. This procedure lets AC75 log off from the network and allows the software to enter into a secure state and safe data before disconnecting the power supply. The mode is referred to as Power-down mode.

  • Page 35: Leakage Current In Power-Down Mode

    AC75 module, the leakage current ranges between 90µA and 100µA. • If the AC75 module is started and afterwards powered down with AT^SMSO, then the leakage current is only 50µA. Therefore, in order to minimize the leakage current take care to start up the module at least once before it is powered down.

  • Page 36: Turn On/Off Ac75 Applications With Integrated Usb

    3.3.3.3 Turn on/off AC75 Applications with Integrated USB In a Windows environment, the USB COM port emulation causes the USB port of AC75 to appear as a virtual COM port (VCOM port). The VCOM port emulation is only present when Windows can communicate with the module, and is lost when the module shuts down.

  • Page 37: Automatic Shutdown

    3.5.3 The values detected by either NTC resistor are measured directly on the board or the battery and therefore, are not fully identical with the ambient temperature. Each time the board or battery temperature goes out of range or back to normal, AC75 instantly displays an alert (if enabled).

    BATT_TEMP terminal. Thus, you can take advantage of this feature even though the application handles the charging process or AC75 is fed by a fixed supply voltage. All you need to do is executing the write command AT^SBC=<current> which automatically enables the presentation of URCs.

  • Page 40: Automatic Egprs/Gprs Multislot Class Change

    This reduces the power consumption and, consequently, causes the board’s temperature to decrease. Once the temperature drops by 5 degrees, AC75 returns to the higher Multislot Class. If the temperature stays at the critical level or even continues to rise, AC75 will not switch back to the higher class.

    Use the command AT^SBC, parameter <current>, to enter the current consumption of the host application. This information enables the AC75 module to correctly determine the end of charging and terminate charging automatically when the battery is fully charged. If the <current>...

  • Page 42: Battery Pack Requirements

    On the AC75 module, a built-in measuring circuit constantly monitors the supply voltage. In the event of undervoltage, it causes AC75 to power down. Undervoltage thresholds are specific to the battery pack and must be evaluated for the intended model. When you evaluate undervoltage thresholds, consider both the current consumption of AC75 and of the application circuit.

    AC75 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Preliminary Electrical Characteristics of the Voiceband Part 5.7.1 Setting Audio Parameters by AT Commands The audio modes 2 to 6 can be adjusted according to the parameters listed below. Each audio mode is assigned a separate set of parameters.

  • Page 97: Audio Programming Model

    AC75 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Preliminary 5.7.2 Audio Programming Model The audio programming model shows how the signal path can be influenced by varying the AT command parameters. The parameters inBbcGain and inCalibrate can be set with AT^SNFI. All the other parameters are adjusted with AT^SNFO.

  • Page 98: Characteristics Of Audio Modes

    Audio mode 5 and 6 are identical. AT^SAIC can be used to switch mode 5 to the second interface. Audio mode 6 is therefore kept mainly for compatibility to earlier Siemens GSM products. In audio modes with an active loss controller a continuous sine signal is attenuated by the idle attenuation after a few seconds.
