Smart Machine Smart Decision 4 Application Interface Power Supply The recommended power supply voltage of SIM7100-PCIE(A) is 3.3V. Table 6: Recommended 3.3V Power Supply Characteristics Symbol Parameter Type Unit Power supply voltage Supply current capability 2000 Power Saving Mode SIM7100-PCIE(A) has two power saving modes: minimum functionality mode and sleep mode. When SIM7100-PCIE(A) is in sleep mode and minimum functionality mode, the current of module is lowest.
Smart Machine Smart Decision If USB HOST sends USB suspend request, SIM7100-PCIE(A) will enter sleep mode automatically for reducing power consume, when peripheral equipment of SIM7100-PCIE(A) stops working, and module has no on air or audio activity required. In sleep mode, SIM7100-PCIE(A) can still receive paging or SMS from network. Note: SIM7100-PCIE(A) could enter sleep mode when the host CPU supports USB suspend mode, otherwise it could not enter sleep mode.
Smart Machine Smart Decision SIM Card Interface The SIM interface complies with the GSM Phase 1 specification and the new GSM Phase 2+ specification for FAST 64 kbps SIM card. Both 1.8V and 3.0V SIM card are supported. The SIM interface is powered from an internal regulator in the module.
