    4: Routing Constraints and Recommen- dations This section describes general routing constraints and recommendations for the AirPrime WP7601 module. Note: This is a non-exhaustive list of suggested design guidelines. The developer is respon- sible for deciding whether to implement these guidelines.
  • Page 9: Antenna

    • Since the maximum peak current can reach 2.5 A, Sierra Wireless strongly recommends having a large width for the layout of the power supply signal (to avoid voltage loss between the external power supply and VBAT_BB/ VBAT_RF.
  • Page 10: Uim Interface

    UIM Interface • The length of the tracks between the AirPrime WP7601 and the UIM socket should be as short as possible. Maximum recommended length is 10cm. • ESD protection is mandatory on the UIM lines unless there is no physical access to the UIM.
  • Page 11: Usb Interface

    Ground plane: Sierra Wireless recommends a common ground plane for analog/digital/RF grounds Note: The AirPrime WP7601 does not include any protection against over-voltage. The host device must provide adequate ESD protection on digital circuits and antenna ports as detailed in the following table.
  • Page 12: Mechanical Integration

    Attention should be paid to: • Antenna cable integration (bending, length, position, etc) • Pads of the AirPrime WP7601 to be soldered to the ground plane • Ensuring proper board layout • Providing sufficient space around the module for heat dissipation...
