TC65 Terminal Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Released Operating Modes The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following chapters. Table 7: Overview of operating modes Normal operation GSM / GPRS SLEEP Various power save modes set with AT+CFUN command.
Confidential / Released Power Supply The power supply of the TC65 Terminal has to be a single voltage source of POWER=8V…30V capable of providing a peak during an active transmission. The uplink burst causes strong ripples (drop) on the power lines.
Switch on via IGT_IN line (power supply connector) or DTR line (serial connector). The rising edge of the IGT_IN line or the DTR line voltage generates an ignition signal (impulse) so that it is possible to switch on the TC65 Terminal from the host or by remote control.
TC65 Terminal Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Released 3.5.5 Signal States after Startup Table 9 describes the various states each interface pin passes through after startup and during operation. The state of several pins will change again once the respective interface is activated or configured by AT command.
Confidential / Released RS-232 Interface The serial interface of the TC65 Terminal is intended for the communication between the GSM module and the host application. This RS-232 interface is a data and control interface for transmitting data, AT commands and providing multiplexed channels. EMC immunity complies with the vehicular environment requirements according to EN 301 489-7.

TC65 Terminal Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Released Audio Interface The audio interface provides one analog input for a microphone and one analog output for an earpiece. • The microphone input and the earpiece output are balanced. • For electret microphones a supply source is implemented.
1. The settings are optimized for the reference handset (type Votronic) connected to the TC65 Terminal (see chapters 6.1 and 7). To ensure that the reference parameters are always within the limits demanded by the standards they cannot be changed by AT command.
TC65 Terminal Hardware Interface Description Confidential / Released 3.7.2 Speech Processing The speech samples from the ADC are handled by the DSP of the baseband controller to calculate e.g. amplifications, sidetone, echo cancellation or noise suppression depending on the configuration of the active audio mode. These processed samples are passed to the speech encoder.

3.10.1 GPIOs The TC65 Terminal provides 10 GPIO pins at the IO interface connector. Each GPIO line is ESD protected and a serial resistor of 100 Ohm is added. This avoids short circuits and is especially important in the first stages of development where the Java application is not yet fully implemented.
These are the serial data line I2CDAT and the serial clock line I2CCLK. The TC65 Terminal acts as a single master device, e.g. the clock I2CCLK is driven by the Terminal. The connection I2CDAT is a bi-directional line.
The TC65 Terminal acts as a single master device, e.g. the clock SPICLK is driven by the TC65 Terminal. Whenever the SPICS pin is in a low state, the SPI bus is activated and data can be transferred from the Terminal and vice versa. The SPI interface uses two independent lines for data input (SPIDI) and data output (SPIDO).
Note: It is necessary to recalculate measurement results because an amplifier is used to scale down the ADCx_IN input voltage of the TC65 Terminal (5V) to the ADCx_IN input voltage of the in-built TC65 module (2.4V). Two parameters (determined and stored by factory) have to be used for offset compensation...
The two pins of the power supply at the IO interface connector are directly connected to two pins of the Western Jack for power supply. This allows supplying the TC65 Terminal by using the Power connector or via the IO interface connector.
