1 Introduction

This document presents the hardware interface description of the Siemens GSM engines

• TC35

• TC37

As TC35 and TC37 are intended to integrate with a wide range of cellular application

platforms, all functional components are described in detail. So this guide covers all

information you need to design and set up host devices incorporating TC35 or TC37. It helps

you quickly retrieve interface specifications, electrical and mechanical details and, last but

not least, information on the requirements to be considered for integrating further

components.

TC35 and TC37 are full-featured GSM engines which are identical in terms of functionality,

physical dimensions and performance characteristics including minimum or maximum

ratings. They differ only in the design and location of antenna connectors. TC35 features a

coaxial GSC connector, while TC37 provides a coaxial switching connector plus an antenna

pad. Each connector type is described in a separate section.
