SIM5216A _HD_V1.02 26.08.2010

2 Product concept

Designed for global market, SIM5216A is a quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dual-band UMTS

/HSDPA engine that works on frequencies of GSM 850MHz, EGSM 900 MHz, DCS 1800 MHz,

PCS 1900MHz, and WCDMA 1900M/850M. SIM5216A provides GPRS multi-slot class

12/class10/class 8 (optional) capability and EDGE, supports the GPRS coding schemes CS-1,

CS-2, CS-3 and CS-4. EDGE: 8 PSK, DTM (class A) multi-slot class 12, DL coding schemes:

MCS1-9, UL coding schemes: MCS1-9.

With a tiny configuration of 36mm × 26mm × 4.5 mm, SIM5216A can fit almost all the

space requirements in your applications, such as AMR, POS, Security & Surveillance and other

mobile devices.

The physical interface to the mobile application is made through a 70 pins board-to-board

connector, which provides all hardware interfaces between the module and customers’ boards

except the RF antenna interface.

z Serial port and USB 2.0 port can be alternatively used as data port.

z USIM interface: support SIM cards: 3V & 1.8V

z Power on/off and reset signal

z Backup RTC interface.

z Six GPIOs: 1 for interrupt, 1 for flight mode, 1 for status LED, 2 for output control, 1

for input, also can be multiplex as a PCM interface.

z Three audio channels include two microphones inputs and three audio outputs. This can

be easily configured by AT command.

z A camera interface is provided,(if above pins are not used as camera interface ,it could

be configured as GPIOs..

z An I2C interface is provided.

z An ADC interface

z A LDO power output

z A 4 bit SD card interface

z A PCM interface, all pins of PCM interface can be configured as GPIOs(default are

GPIOs).

The SIM5216A provides RF antenna interface with two alternatives: antenna connector and

antenna pad. The antenna connector is MURATA MM9329-2700. And customer’s antenna can be

soldered to the antenna pad.

The SIM5216A is integrated with the TCP/IP protocol，Extended TCP/IP AT commands are

developed for customers to use the TCP/IP protocol easily, which is very useful for those data

transfer applications. FTP/HTTP/ SMTP/POP3/ MMS/ LUA Script is integrated in SIM5216A

too.

Note: The SIM5216A has two kinds of interface (UART and USB) to connect to host CPU.
