Digital Ground AGND Analogue Ground There are two ground signals in GM 47/48, Analogue Ground (AGND) and Digital Ground (DGND). The analogue Ground is connected to pin number 60, and the Digital Ground is connected to the System Connector Interface through pin numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and Note: All the Ground pins have to be connected to the application.
Current Drive capability at TX Full Power < 600 mA (average)) < 2 A (Peak) GM 47/48 have not internal capacitance to supply the large current peaks during GSM transmission. Therefore on burst transmission the application DC source is responsible for providing the appropriate current.

GM47/GM48 Technical description 3.10.1 UART 1 (RS232) - RD, TD, RTS, CTS, DTR, DCD and RI The UART1 signals form a 9 pin RS-232 (V.24) serial port, apart from the DSR (CCITT Nº 107) signal. DSR signal has been removed as it is usually connected to DTR in most systems.
GM47/GM48 Technical description 3.10.3 Control Signals - RTS, CTS, DTR, DCD, RI The control signals are active low, and hence when a standard interface IC is used (such as MAX3237), then standard RS-232 levels are obtained. These signals together with DGND, RD and TD form a 9-pin RS-232 data port (with the exception of the voltage levels and DSR).
