TC63 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3 s Application Interface TC63 is equipped with an 80-pin board-to-board connector that connects to the external application. The host interface incorporates several sub-interfaces described in the following chapters: • • • • • • • • • • Power supply - see Section 3.2 Charger interface – Section 3.5 SIM interface - see Section 3.8 Serial interface ASC0 - see Section 3.9 Serial interface ASC1 - see Section 3.
s TC63 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.1 Operating Modes The table below briefly summarizes the various operating modes referred to in the following chapters. Table 1: Overview of operating modes Normal operation POWER DOWN TC63_HD_V00.432 GSM / GPRS SLEEP Various power save modes set with AT+CFUN command. Software is active to minimum extent. If the module was registered to the GSM network in IDLE mode, it is registered and paging with the BTS in SLEEP mode, too.
TC63 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft Airplane mode s Airplane mode shuts down the radio part of the module, causes the module to log off from the GSM/GPRS network and disables all AT commands whose execution requires a radio connection. Airplane mode can be controlled by using the AT commands AT^SCFG and AT+CALA: • With AT^SCFG=MEopMode/Airplane/OnStart the module can be configured to enter the Airplane mode each time when switched on or reset.
TC63 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.2 s Power Supply TC63 needs to be connected to a power supply at the B2B connector (5 pins each BATT+ and GND). The power supply of TC63 has to be a single voltage source at BATT+. It must be able to provide the peak current during the uplink transmission. All the key functions for supplying power to the device are handled by the power management section of the analog controller.
s TC63 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft Example: If the length of the flex cable reaches the maximum length of 100mm, this connection may cause, for example, a resistance of 30mΩ in the BATT+ line and 30mΩ in the GND line. As a result, a 2A transmit burst would add up to a total voltage drop of 120mV.
TC63 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.3 s Power Up / Power Down Scenarios In general, be sure not to turn on TC63 while it is beyond the safety limits of voltage and temperature stated in Chapter 5. TC63 would immediately switch off after having started and detected these inappropriate conditions. In extreme cases this can cause permanent damage to the module. 3.3.
s TC63 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft If configured to a fix baud rate (AT+IPR≠0), the module will send the URC “^SYSSTART” or “^SYSSTART AIRPLANE MODE” to notify that it is ready to operate.

You can enter AT+CFUN=,1 or AT+CFUN=x,1, where x may be in the range from 0 to 9. See [1] for details. If configured to a fix baud rate (AT+IPR≠0), the module will send the URC “^SYSSTART” or “^SYSSTART AIRPLANE MODE to notify that it is ready to operate. If autobauding is enabled (AT+IPR=0) there will be no notification.
TC63 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.3.2 s Turn off TC63 TC63 can be turned off as follows: • Normal shutdown: Software controlled by AT^SMSO command • Automatic shutdown: Takes effect if board or battery temperature is out of range or if undervoltage or overvoltage conditions occur. 3.3.2.1 Turn off TC63 Using AT Command The best and safest approach to powering down TC63 is to issue the AT^SMSO command.

s TC63 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.13 Audio Interfaces TC63 comprises three audio interfaces available on the board-to-board connector: • Two analog audio interfaces, both with balanced or single-ended inputs/outputs. • Serial digital audio interface (DAI) designed for PCM (Pulse Code Modulation). This means you can connect up to three different audio devices, although only one interface can be operated at a time.
s TC63 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft 3.13.1 Speech Processing The speech samples from the ADC or DAI 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.
TC63 Hardware Interface Description Strictly confidential / Draft s The VMIC voltage should be filtered if gains larger than 20dB are used. The filter can be attached as a simple first order RC-network (RVMIC and CF). This circuit is well suited if the distance between microphone and module is kept short.
