HSPA/UMTS/GSM/GPRS Module Series UG96&UG95&M95 R2.0 Compatible Design The AGND pin of M95 R2.0 should be routed as single-ended to main ground when analog audio is used in single-ended application. Otherwise, it can be connected to GND directly. “*” means under development.
4.1.1. Power Supply Reference Design Power design for a module is critical to its performance. The power supply of UG96, UG95 and M95 R2.0 should be able to provide sufficient current up to 2.0A. If the voltage drop between the input and output is not too high, it is suggested that an LDO should be used to supply power for the module.
R2.0. 4.2. Power-on Circuit UG96/UG95 and M95 R2.0 can be turned on by driving the PWRKEY pin to a low level, though the power domain of the pin of M95 R2.0 is different from UG96/UG95. The following circuit is a reference design for turning on the module using PWRKEY.
Page 22
BOOTING Figure 6: Power-on Scenario NOTES 1. When UG96/UG95 is turned on through driving PWRKEY to a low level, please make sure that VBAT is stable before pulling down PWRKEY pin. The recommended time of T is 100ms. PWRKEY cannot be pulled down all the time.
4.3.1. Turn off Module Using AT Command There are several different ways to turn off UG96/UG95 and M95 R2.0. It is recommended to use a safe way to turn off the module by AT+QPOWD, which will let the module log off from the network and allow the firmware to save important data before completely disconnecting the power supply.
Network logout time is related to local network signal strength. 4.3.3. Emergency Shutdown UG96/UG95 can be shut down by PWRDWN_N pin and M95 R2.0 can be shut down by EMERG_OFF pin. The two pins should only be used under emergency situations, such as when the module crashes or works abnormally.
Figure 10: Emergency Shutdown Scenario 4.4. Network Status Indication The NETLIGHT signal can be used to drive a network status indicator LED, so as to indicate the network status of UG96/UG95/M95 R2.0. A reference design is shown as below. VBAT UG96/UG95/M95 R2.0 2.2K...
Figure 12: Reference Circuit of STATUS 4.6. (U)SIM Interface (U)SIM interface of UG96/UG95 and M95 R2.0 supports 1.8V or 3.0V USIM/SIM cards by default. The pin assignment of UG96/UG95’s (U)SIM interface is compatible with that of the M95 R2.0’s (U)SIM1 interface, except that UG96/UG95’s pin SIM1_PRESENCE is not compatible with M95 R2.0’s USIM_PRESENCE.
Figure 14: Reference Design of 8-Pin (U)SIM Interface 4.7. UART Interface UG96, UG95 and M95 R2.0 support UART interface. The following circuit shows the reference design for main UART interface level matching. It is recommended to add a level matching circuit between UG96/UG95/M95 R2.0 module and MCU due to the different power domain of UART interfaces.
USB device only. If application processor communicates with UG96/UG95 via USB interface and communicates with M95 R2.0 via UART interface, the reference design for UG96/UG95’s USB interface and M95 R2.0’s main UART interface is shown as the following figure.
For more details of audio interface compatible design, please refer to document [4]. 4.10. RF Interface RF_ANT is a compatible pin among UG96/UG95 and M95 R2.0. The impedance of the RF interface is 50Ω. In order to achieve better RF performance, it is recommended to reserve a π-type matching circuit (R1/C1/C2) and place it close to the antenna.
Recommended Footprint and Stencil Design This chapter mainly introduces the recommended compatible footprint and stencil design of UG96, UG95 and M95 R2.0. All dimensions are measured in millimeter (mm), and the tolerances for dimensions without tolerance values are ± 0.05mm.
