UM681 Series Hardware Reference Design Foreword This document provides the hardware reference design of Unicore UM681 series modules. UM681 series modules consist of the following models: Product Main model Sub-model UM681A (automotive) UM681A-12 UM681 series UM681 (industrial) UM681-12 Target Readers...
2 UM681 Peripheral Design Connect the ANT_IN signal to the antenna, and note the 50 Ω impedance matching. Connect all the GND pins to the ground. Leave the IO pins open if not used. Recommended to add TVS anti-surge protection at the power input of the module. ...

The GND pads at the bottom of the module should be grounded to ensure heat dissipation. Figure 2-2 UM681 GND Pads Main Power VCC The working voltage range of VCC is 2.7 V to 3.6 V. Note: The VCC initial level when power-on should be less than 0.4 V. The VCC ramp when power-on should be monotonic, without plateaus.
UM681 Series Hardware Reference Design Power-on time interval: The time interval between the power-off (V_BCKP < 0.4 V) to the next power-on must be larger than 500 ms. When the hot start function is not used, connect V_BCKP to VCC or a backup power source.
3 Odometer Interfaces Odometer data can be input to the UM681 module via hardware interface or software interface. The two ways cannot be used at the same time. Hardware Interface The pin 22 (WT) of the UM681 module is used to receive the speed pulse signal (WHEELTICK) from the odometer, and the pin 23 (DIR) is used to receive the direction signal (FWD) from the odometer.
3.1.2 Odometer Speed and Direction Signals 3.1.2.1 Voltage Requirements The voltage requirements of VCC, V_BCKP, WT and DIR are shown in the table below.
