4 POWER SUPPLY The power supply circuitry and board layout are a very important part in the full product design and they strongly reflect on the product overall performances, hence read carefully the requirements and the guidelines that will follow for a proper design. 4.1 Power Supply Requirements The external power supply must be connected to VBATT & VBATT_PA signals and must fulfil the following requirements: Power Supply Value Nominal Supply Voltage 3.8V Normal Operating Voltage Range 3.
4.2 Power Consumption The reported values in the following table has to be considered preliminary: Mode Average (mA) Switched Off 0.095 Mode Description Module supplied but switched off IDLE mode AT+CFUN=1 LTE 13 WCDMA 15 GSM 14 AT+CFUN=4 Normal mode: full functionality of the module 11 Disabled TX and RX; module is not registered on the network 5.8 Paging cycle #32 frames (0.32 sec DRx cycle) 3.5 Paging cycle #64 frames (0.64 sec DRx cycle) 2 Paging cycle #128 frames (1.
NOTE: The electrical design for the Power supply should be made ensuring it will be capable of a peak current output of at least: 0.8 A for WCDMA and LTE mode (3.80V supply). 2A for GSM mode (3.80V supply). NOTE: The reported values are an average among all the product variants and bands for each network wireless technology. The support of specific network wireless technology depends on product variant configuration. LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.
4.3 General Design Rules The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps: the electrical design the thermal design the PCB layout. 4.3.1 Electrical Design Guidelines The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly from the power source where this power is drained. We will distinguish them into three categories: +5V input (typically PC internal regulator output) +12V input (typically automotive) Battery 4.3.1.
4.3.1.2 + 12V input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence due to the big difference between the input source and the desired output, a linear regulator is not suited and shall not be used. A switching power supply will be preferable because of its better efficiency. When using a switching regulator, a 500kHz or more switching frequency regulator is preferable because of its smaller inductor size and its faster transient response.
4.3.1.3 Battery Source Power Supply Design Guidelines The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V and the maximum voltage allowed is 4.2V, hence a single 3.7V Li-Ion cell battery type is suited for supplying the power to the Telit LE910 V2 module. A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current absorption peaks, a 100μF tantalum capacitor is usually suited. Make sure the low ESR capacitor (usually a tantalum one) is rated at least 10V.
4.3.1.4 Thermal Design Guidelines Worst case as reference values for thermal design of LE910 V2 are: Average current consumption: 800 mA Supply voltage: 3.80V NOTE: Make PCB design in order to have the best connection of GND pads to large surfaces. NOTE: The LE910 V2 includes a function to prevent overheating. LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.
4.3.1.5 Power Supply PCB layout Guidelines As seen on the electrical design guidelines the power supply shall have a low ESR capacitor on the output to cut the current peaks on the input to protect the supply from spikes The placement of this component is crucial for the correct working of the circuitry. A misplaced component can be useless or can even decrease the power supply performances.
The below figure shows the recommended circuit: LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.
4.4 RTC Bypass out The VRTC pin brings out the Real Time Clock supply, which is separate from the rest of the digital part, allowing having only RTC going on when all the other parts of the device are off. To this power output a backup capacitor can be added in order to increase the RTC autonomy during power off of the battery. NO Devices must be powered from this pin.
5 DIGITAL SECTION 5.1 Logic Levels ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS – NOT FUNCTIONAL: Parameter Min Max Input level on any digital pin (CMOS 1.8) with respect to ground -0.3V 2.1V Input level on any digital pin (CMOS 1.2) with respect to ground -0.3V 1.4V OPERATING RANGE - INTERFACE LEVELS (1.8V CMOS): Parameter Min Max Input high level 1.5V 1.9V Input low level 0V 0.35V Output high level 1.6V 1.9V Output low level 0V 0.2V Parameter Min Max Input high level 0.9V 1.
5.2 Power on To turn on the LE910 V2 the pad ON_OFF* must be tied low for at least 5 seconds and then released. The maximum current that can be drained from the ON_OFF* pad is 0,1 mA. A simple circuit to do it is: NOTE: Don't use any pull up resistor on the ON_OFF* line, it is internally pulled up. Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the LE910 V2 power regulator and improper power on/off of the module.
A flow chart showing the proper turn on procedure is displayed below: “Modem ON Proc” START N VBATT > 3.10V ? Y Y PWRMON=ON ? N ON_OFF* = LOW GO TO “HW Shutdown Unconditional” Delay = 5 sec (see note below) ON_OFF* = HIGH PWRMON=ON ? N Y Delay = 1 sec GO TO “Start AT Commands”” “Modem ON Proc” END NOTE: When the USB is connected or after the firmware updating, Delay must be equal at least to 10 seconds. LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.
A flow chart showing the AT commands managing procedure is displayed below: “Start AT CMD” START Delay = 300 msec Enter AT AT answer in 1 sec ? N GO TO “HW Shutdown Unconditional” Y “Start AT CMD” END GO TO “Modem ON Proc.” NOTE: In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the LE910 V2 when the module is powered off or during an ON/OFF transition. LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.
For example: 1- Let's assume you need to drive the ON_OFF* pad with a totem pole output of a +3/5 V microcontroller (uP_OUT1): 2- Let's assume you need to drive the ON_OFF* pad directly with an ON/OFF button: LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.
WARNING It is recommended to set the ON_OFF* line LOW to power on the module only after VBATT is higher than 3.10V. In case this condition it is not satisfied you could use the HW_SHUTDOWN* line to recover it and then restart the power on activity using the ON_OFF * line. An example of this is described in the following diagram. Power ON diagram: After HW_SHUTSDOWN* is released you could again use the ON_OFF* line to power on the module. LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.
5.3 Power off Turning off of the device can be done in two ways: • via AT command (see LE910 V2 Software User Guide, AT#SHDN) • by tying low pin ON_OFF* Either ways, the device issues a detach request to network informing that the device will not be reachable any more. To turn OFF the LE910 V2 the pad ON_OFF* must be tied low for at least 3 seconds and then released. NOTE: To check if the device has been powered off, the hardware line PWRMON must be monitored.
The following flow chart shows the proper turn off procedure: “Modem OFF Proc.” START PWRMON=ON? N Y AT OFF Mode Key ON_OFF* = LOW Delay >= 3 sec AT#SHDN ON_OFF* = HIGH PWRMON=ON? N “Modem OFF Proc.” END Y N Looping for more than 15s? Y GO TO “HW SHUTDOWN Unconditional” LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.
5.4 Unconditional Shutdown HW_SHUTDOWN* is used to unconditionally shutdown the LE910 V2. Whenever this signal is pulled low, the LE910 V2 is reset. When the device is reset it stops any operation. After the release of the line, the LE910 V2 is unconditionally shut down, without doing any detach operation from the network where it is registered. This behaviour is not a proper shut down because any WCDMA device is requested to issue a detach request on turn off.
A typical circuit is the following: For example: Let us assume you need to drive the HW_SHUTDOWN* pad with a totem pole output of a +3/5 V microcontroller (uP_OUT2): NOTE: In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the LE910 V2 when the module is powered off or during an ON/OFF transition. LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.
In the following flow chart is detailed the proper restart procedure: “HW SHUTDOWN Unconditional” START HW_SHUTDOWN* = LOW Delay = 1s Delay = 200ms Disconnect VBATT HW_SHUTDOWN* = HIGH PWRMON = ON Y N “HW SHUTDOWN Unconditional” END NOTE: Do not use any pull up resistor on the HW_SHUTDOWN* line nor any totem pole digital output. Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the LE910 V2 power regulator and improper functioning of the module.
5.5 Fast power down The procedure to power off LE910 V2 described in Chapter 5.3 normally takes more than 1 second to detach from network and make LE910 V2 internal filesystem properly closed. In case of unwanted supply voltage loss the system can be switched off without any risk of filesystem data corruption by implementing Fast Shut Down feature. Fast Shut Down feature permits to reduce the current consumption and the time-to-poweroff to minimum values.
NOTE: Consider voltage drop under max current conditions when defining the voltage detector thereshold in order to avoid unwanted shutdown. Tipical timings are reported in the plot above when testing the example circuit with Ctank=47mF. The capacitor is rated with the following formula: where 80mA is a typical current during fast shut down procedure, 300ms is the typical time to execute the shutdown and 0.5V is the minimum voltage marging from threshold of LE910 V2 hardware reset.
5.6 Communication ports 5.6.1 USB 2.0 HS The LE910 V2 includes one integrated universal serial bus (USB 2.0 HS) transceiver. The following table is listing the available signals: PAD Signal I/O Function Type B15 USB_D+ I/O USB differential Data (+) 3.3V C15 USB_D- I/O USB differential Data (-) 3.3V A13 VUSB AI Power sense for the internal USB transceiver. 5V NOTE Accepted range: 4.4V to 5.25V The USB_DPLUS and USB_DMINUS signals have a clock rate of 480 MHz.
5.6.2 SPI The LE910 V2 Module is provided by a standard 3-wire master SPI interface. The following table is listing the available signals: PAD Signal I/O Function Type NOTE D15 SPI_MOSI O SPI MOSI CMOS 1.8V Shared with TX_AUX E15 SPI_MISO I SPI MISO CMOS 1.8V Shared with RX_AUX F15 SPI_CLK O SPI Clock CMOS 1.8V NOTE: Due to the shared functions, when the SPI port is used, it is not possible to use the AUX_UART port. 5.6.2.
5.6.3 Serial Ports The LE910 V2 module is provided with by 2 Asynchronous serial ports: • MODEM SERIAL PORT 1 (Main) • MODEM SERIAL PORT 2 (Auxiliary) Several configurations can be designed for the serial port on the OEM hardware, but the most common are: • RS232 PC com port • microcontroller UART @ 1.8V (Universal Asynchronous Receive Transmit) • microcontroller UART @ 5V or other voltages different from 1.
NOTE: According to V.24, some signal names are referred to the application side, therefore on the LE910 V2 side these signal are on the opposite direction: TXD on the application side will be connected to the receive line (here named C103/TXD) RXD on the application side will be connected to the transmit line (here named C104/RXD) For a minimum implementation, only the TXD, RXD lines can be connected, the other lines can be left open provided a software flow control is implemented.
5.6.3.3 RS232 level translation In order to interface the LE910 V2 with a PC com port or a RS232 (EIA/TIA-232) application a level translator is required. This level translator must: • invert the electrical signal in both directions; • Change the level from 0/1.8V to +15/-15V. Actually, the RS232 UART 16450, 16550, 16650 & 16750 chipsets accept signals with lower levels on the RS232 side (EIA/TIA-562), allowing a lower voltage-multiplying ratio on the level translator.
5.7 General Purpose I/O The LE910 V2 module is provided by a set of Configurable Digital Input / Output pins (CMOS 1.8V). Input pads can only be read; they report the digital value (high or low) present on the pad at the read time. Output pads can only be written or queried and set the value of the pad output. An alternate function pad is internally controlled by the LE910 V2 firmware and acts depending on the function implemented.
5.7.1 Using a GPIO as INPUT The GPIO pads, when used as inputs, can be connected to a digital output of another device and report its status, provided this device has interface levels compatible with the 1.8V CMOS levels of the GPIO. If the digital output of the device to be connected with the GPIO input pad has interface levels different from the 1.8V CMOS, then it can be buffered with an open collector transistor with a 47K pull up to 1.8V supplied by VAUX/POWERMON R11 pad.
The reference schematic for LED indicator. : R3 must be calculated taking in account VBATT value and LED type. LE910 V2 HARDWARE USER GUIDE 1VV0301200 Rev.
5.8 External SIM Holder Please refer to 0 the related User Guide (SIM Holder Design Guides, 80000NT10001a). 5.9 ADC Converter The LE910 V2 is provided by one AD converter. It is able to read a voltage level in the range of 0÷1.2 volts applied on the ADC pin input, store and convert it into 10 bit word. The input line is named as ADC_IN1 and it is available on Pad B1 The following table is showing the ADC characteristics: Item Min Typical Max Unit Input Voltage range 0 - 1.
