2
S)
Status Signal line to indicate network connectivity state
RING0 Signal line to indicate incoming calls and other types of
URCs
Power on/off, Reset
Power on/off Switch-on by hardware signal IGT
Switch-off by AT command (AT^SMSO) or IGT
Automatic switch-off in case of critical temperature or voltage conditions
Reset Orderly shutdown and reset by AT command
Emergency-off Emergency-off by hardware signal EMERG_OFF if IGT is not active
Special Features
Antenna SAIC (Single Antenna Interference Cancellation) / DARP (Downlink
Advanced Receiver Performance)
Rx Diversity (receiver type 3i - 64-QAM) / MIMO
GPIO 10 I/O pins of the application interface programmable as GPIO.
GPIO6 can be configured as low current indicator (LCI).
Programming is done via AT commands.
ADC inputs Analog-to-Digital Converter with three unbalanced analog inputs.
Evaluation kit
Evaluation module PLS8-X/PLS8-V module soldered onto a dedicated PCB that can be con-
nected to an adapter in order to be mounted onto the DSB75.
DSB75 DSB75 Development Support Board designed to test and type approve
Gemalto M2M modules and provide a sample configuration for applica-
tion engineering. A special adapter is required to connect the PLS8-X/
PLS8-V evaluation module to the DSB75.
