Adc Interface; Ri Behaviors; Network Status Indication - Quectel BC66 Hardware Design


In order to offer good ESD protection, it is recommended to add a TVS diode array. For more
information of TVS diode, please visit http://www.onsemi.com. The ESD protection device should be
placed as close to USIM card connector as possible, and make sure the USIM card signal lines go
through the ESD protection device first and then to the module. The 22Ω resistors should be
connected in series between the module and the USIM card connector so as to suppress EMI
spurious transmission and enhance ESD protection. Please note that the USIM peripheral circuit
should be close to the USIM card connector.

Place the RF bypass capacitors (33pF) close to the USIM card connector on all signal traces to
improve EMI suppression.

3.11. ADC Interface

The module provides a 10-bit ADC input channel to read the voltage value. The interface is available in
both active and idle modes.

3.12. RI Behaviors*

When there is a SMS or URC output, the module will inform DTE with the RI pin. More details will be
added in the future version of this document.
NOTE
"*" means under development.

3.13. Network Status Indication*

The NETLIGHT signal can be used to drive a network status indicator LED.
A reference circuit is shown as below.
