1. Overview This design guide is based mainly on the M23 evaluation board (EVB). The M23 EVB enables you to evaluate the M23 module and peripheral design. In addition, it provides sampling firmware that you can use as a starting point to develop code. To give the user a system concept of the interconnections between the host and M23 module, we first give a block diagram as The reference schematics for M23 peripherals will be given in details in this design guide.
2. Design Guide Organization The rest of the manual is organized as follows: Section 3 Pin out definition of M23 module is given along with the RF antenna placement and trace guidelines. In addition, the recommended power on; and handshaking sequences are shown.
3.2. Ground Pin There are 10 ground pins in M23 module, they should be connected together and routed to the common connection of the PCB ground plane (The ground plane in PCB should be as large as possible).
Power on sequence The pin POWON is dedicated to powering on the M23 module. The pin is initially HIGH when power is applied to the M23 module. Once the pin is pulled low for more than 120 ms, M23 will power on.

VCC=4V; M23 VBAT=4V IO11: reset status is input ROW4/wakeup:input pin pull high after trigger Note: The mechanism shows that after the PWON pin is pulled low, ROW4 becomes HIGH after 63ms. At the same time interval IO11 remains input status, since the resistor R3 pulls IO11 to low within the reset period, therefore BQ1 is kept open and pin 3 of BQ1 is kept high.
The SIM Card digital interface in the M23 ensures the translation of logic levels between M23 and the SIM Card, for the transmission of 3 different signals: SIM_CLK; a reset signal from M23 to the SIM Card (SIM_RST); and serial data from M23 to the SIM Card (SIM_IO). The SIM card interface can be programmed to drive a 3V SIM Card.

Voltage Gain = 2 with R60=3.3K Ear output Audio Path Selection AT Commands The M23 module provides the switching of audio paths using AT commands (In connection status): Default value: case (2) (1) at$aupath=3,0 (EARN, EARP, MICIN, MICIP, MICBIAS path OFF)
Module LEDA <Value> LEDA is controlled through software program using a dedicated bit, which is built in the M23 module already. The LEDA pin status : a. When there is no voltage input, the LEDA is in high status. It means that the LED won’t be illuminated.
IO mapping There have 6 IO pins available for M23 module. The function for these IO pins is List below. Description Reset Config IO 10 M23 (Client) wake up System (Host) Input Output / 0 IO 13 GPIO13 Output/1 Input...

Autobaud Rate Mechanism The M23 module UART is set at autobaud rate. This means when the M23 is powered on, it auto- matically detects the baud rate after the first AT command sent by the host. The baud rate is locked at...
The designer should be careful when there are different status between System (Host) and M23 module. In other words, if the System (Host) is powered on and the M23 module is powered off or vice versa, problems of current leakage will arise. Therefore, we make the following recommenda- tion to avoid the problem owing to the different status described as the following conditions between system (Host) and module (client).
Page 23
The System (Host) should give an AT command to the M23 module and when M23 receives power off command, M23 return ACK via UART to inform system (Host) that M23 is going to enter power-off status. When M23 is powered off , the switch between the System (Host) and M23 will be open to avoid the current leakage to be happened.
