MG2636 module There is a voltage output pin with current adjuster on MG2636 module, which can be used to supply external power to the board. The voltage of this pin and the voltage of baseband processor/memory come from the same voltage adjuster.
MG2636 module Figure 4-2 SIM Card Circuit Reference Design Diagram Note: The clock data rate of UIM card circuit is 4M, and the card socket should be laid closely around the module and the wiring should be as short and thick as possible.
MG2636 module 4.6 PCM Interface The module’s PCM interface provides PCM_CLK, PCM_SYNC, PCM_DIN, PCM_DOUT,and it supports 2.048MHz PCM clock data rate and 8K frame data rate. PCM clock will stop the output when it enters the dormant mode. The module’s PCM interface must work under Master mode, and the clock and SYNC signal must be sent by the module.
MG2636 module 4.7 USB2.0 Interface The module provides USB2.0 HS interface with 480Mbps, which is composed of VBUS, D+ and D-. You can directly connect USB signal interface when designing the module’s external circuit, but try to add ESD protector during the design to avoid damaging the module.
MG2636 module Mechanical Design 5.1 Appearance Diagram See the appearance of MG2636 module in figure 5-1. Figure 5-1 MG2636 Module’s Appearance Dimensions:(LxWxH):35 mm x 32.5mm x2.65mm Weight: 7g...
Figure 5-2 Module’s Assembly Diagram 5.3 Module’s Fixing Method The module’s fastening method adopts direct manual soldering to avoid second-time soldering. It’s strongly recommend to use the manual soldering because MG2636 module board is just 0.8mm thick and MT6223BGA space is too small.
6. Antenna Interface The RF interface of the MG2636 Module has an impedance of 50 . The module is capable of sustaining a total mismatch at the antenna connector or pad without any damage, even when transmitting at maximum RF power.
■ Antenna pad: Gold plated pad 6.3 Antenna connector The MG2636 Module uses a microwave coaxial connector supplied by Murata Ltd. The product name MM9329-2700B . The position of the antenna connector on the Module PCB can be seen in Figure 6-3.
MG2636 module the module will help obtain superior performance. High Quality/Low loss co-axial cables should be used to connect the antenna to the RF connectors. Contact the antenna vendor for the specific type of cable that interfaces with their antenna and ask them to detail the RF losses of the cables supplied along with the antenna.
4. A label must be affixed to the outside of the end product into which the MG2636 Module is incorporated, with a statement similar to the following: For MG2636: This device contains FCC ID: Q78-MG2636.
