The following paragraphs describe in details the hardware requirements for properly interfacing and operating the G600 module. 3.1 Architecture Overview The G600 consists of the following blocks: 3.1.1 Digital Block Micro-controller Unit (MCU) for system and application code execution.
Filter - Dual-band SAW filter that selects the required receive band. 3.2 Operating Modes The G600 incorporates several operating modes. Each operating mode is different in the active features and interfaces. The table summarizes the general characteristics of the G600 operating modes and provides general guidelines for operation.
(Idle or Sleep). 3.3 Power Supply The G600 power supply must be a single external DC voltage source of 3.3V to 5.2V. The power supply must be able to sustain the voltage level during a GSM transmit burst current serge, which may reach 2.0A.

To minimize the losses and transients on the power supply lines, it is recommended to follow these guidelines: Use a 1000 uF, or greater, low ESR capacitor on the G600 supply inputs. The capacitor should be located as near to the G600 interface connector as possible.
850/900 MHz GSM bands Filters transmission EMI. 3.3.2 Power Consumption The table specifies typical G600 current consumption ratings in various operating modes. The current ratings refer to the overall G600 current consumption over the BATT supply. Measurements were taken under the following conditions: ...
LDO power output 2.85V : G600 is start up 3.4.1 Turning the G600 On When the G600 is powered off, the PMU operates at low power mode, with only the RTC timer active. G600 will power on again when the POWER_ON signal is falling edge. Asserting the...
G600. When the POWER_ON signal is falling edge and keeping low for a minimum of 3 seconds will turn G600 off. This will initiate a normal power-off process, which includes disabling of all applications interfaces (UART, SIM card, audio, etc.) and logout the network connection.
GSM network constantly for any incoming calls or data. During Sleep mode, all of the G600 interface signals are inactive and are kept in their previous state, prior to activating low G600 GPRS Module Hardware User Manual...
3.5.1 Activating Sleep Mode By default, the G600 powers on in Idle Mode. The ATS24 default is 0. In this mode the G600 interfaces and features are functional and the module is fully active. Sleep mode is activated by the ATS24 command.
Hardware Interface Description calls or data. After this short paging is completed, G600 returns to Sleep mode. During this short awake period, the serial interfaces are enabled and communications with the module is possible. The CTS_N signal is alternately enabled and disabled synchronously with the network paging cycle.

HARDWARE FLOW, the TXD data will be sent to G600 by CTS_N enabled, the data will not be lost. And G600 will go back to Idle mode for response. G600 GPRS Module Hardware User Manual...
When the main power supply and VBACKUP is disconnected from G600, the RTC timer will reset and the current time and date will be lost. On the next G600 power-up the time and date will need to be set again automatically or manually.
PC, an external transceiver is required. G600 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 described in the figure.
Hardware Interface Description The G600 UART supports baud rates 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400 bps. Auto baud rate detection is supported for baud rates up to 230400 bps. All flow control handshakes are supported: hardware or none.
The G600 does not incorporate an on-board SIM card tray for SIM placement. The SIM must be located on the user application board, external to the G600. The G600 SIM interface includes all the necessary signals, which are routed to the interface connector, for a direct and complete connection to an external SIM.
Hardware Interface Description 3.8.2 SIM Design Guidelines The SIM interface and signals design is extremely important for proper operation of G600 and the SIM card. There are several design guidelines that must be followed to achieve a robust and stable design that meets the required standards and regulations.

1.38 3.9.5 Audio Design The audio quality delivered by G600 is highly affected by the application audio design, particularly when using the analog audio interface. Therefore, special care must be taken when designing the G600 audio interface. Improper design and implementation of the audio interface will result in poor audio quality.
3.10 A/D Interface The G600 includes 3 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) (2 ADC in 50pins and 1 ADC in 80pins) signals with 12-bit resolution, for environmental and electrical measurements. The ADC signals accept an analog DC voltage level on their inputs and convert it to a 12-bit digital value for further processing by G600 or the user application.
This regulator can source up to 30 mA of current to power any external digital circuits. When the G600 started up by power on signal, The VDD is output. So it can be Illustrating module start up.
The RESET_N input signal would be power off the G600 immediately. This signal is set high after power up, when G600 is operating. It is set low when G600 is powered off. When the RESET_N signal is low, the G600 is powered off without the work net logging out. Important: It’s recommended that it should connect he 1nF capacitor to GND on external...
As an alternative to generating the synchronization signal, the control pin can be used to drive a status LED on application platform. The timing of LPG, it can be indicated the G600 status a status LED on application platform. The timing of LPG, it can be indicated the G600 status straight.
The GSM/GPRS network and G600 module is incorporated a complicated system. The G600 prepared the trace function for debugged or acquired the data of the system. The G600 transfer these data from SPI port. It can be operated on the PC software and execute by SPI adaptor to RS232.
Hardware Interface Description 3.11.6 General Purpose I/O The G600 incorporates 3 general purpose IO signals for the user application. Each GPIO signal may be configured and controlled by AT command. These signals may be used to control or set external application circuits, or to receive indications from the external application.
