2 GS64 WIRELESS MODEM

2.1 About the Gx64 Family

The Sony Ericsson Gx64 family of devices are Quad Band GSM/GPRS wireless modems

operating in the GSM 850/900/1800/1900 bands.

The products belong to a new generation of Sony Ericsson wireless modems, and are

intended to be used in machine-to-machine applications and man-to-machine

applications. They are used when there is a need to send and receive data (by SMS,

CSD, or GPRS), and make voice calls over the GSM network.

Two software variants of the Gx64 devices exist. One variant is designed to be

controlled from a micro-controller situated on the host application. The other

variant offers the option to run applications embedded onto the module itself. When

using the embedded application version the controlling script can be run internal to

the module, with or without the use of an external control.

A typical application, involves a micro-controller and a wireless modem, in which the

micro-controller sends AT commands to the wireless modem via an RS232

communications link.

2.2 Wireless modems in a Communication System

Figure 2.2-1 and Figure 2.2-2 illustrate the main blocks of a wireless communication

system using the wireless modem. Figure 2.2-1 shows the communication system

when the script is embedded on the wireless modem and Figure 2.2-2 shows the

communication system when a micro-controller is used. They also show the

communication principles of the system and the interface between the wireless

modem and the application. The definitions in the figures, as used elsewhere in this

manual, are in accordance with the recommendations of 3GPP TS 27.007.

• The MS (mobile station) represents the wireless modem and SIM card. The

wireless modem excluding SIM card, is known as the ME (mobile equipment).

• The DTE (data terminal equipment) is the controlling application. This can be

either an external host or an internal embedded application

• The DCE (data circuit terminating equipment) is the serial communication

interface of the MS.

In accordance with the recommendations of ITU-T (International Telecommunication

Union - Telecommunications Standardization Sector) V.24, the TE communicates with

the MS over a serial interface.

The functions of the wireless modem follow the recommendations provided by 3GPP

(3rd Generation Partnership Project) and ITU-T. 3GPP is a collaboration agreement

that was established in December 1998. The collaboration agreement brings

together a number of telecommunications standards bodies which are known as

Organizational Partners. The current Organizational Partners are ARIB, CCSA, ETSI,

ATIS, TTA, and TTC.

3GPP specifies a set of AT commands for controlling the GSM element of the wireless

modem; these commands are supplemented by Sony Ericsson specific commands.

To find out how to work with AT commands, see the AT Commands Manual.

2.3 Features

The wireless modem performs a set of telecom services (TS) according to 3GPP

release 99 and ITU-T. The functions of the wireless modem are implemented by

issuing AT commands over a serial interface.

2.6.2 Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and SAR

Your wireless modem device is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver

(transceiver). When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also

known as radio waves or radio frequency fields).

Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety

guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International

Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of

Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation

of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave

exposure for the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to

assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any

variations in measurements.

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio

frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is

determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the

actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This

is because the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to reach

the network.

The GS64 wireless modem device has been approved for applications where the

antenna is located >20cm from the body. In all other configurations the integrator is

responsible for meeting the local SAR regulations.

Integrators of the GS64 wireless modem device are responsible for ensuring that they

meet the SAR regulatory requirements of the countries in which they intend to

operate the device, and that their documentation contains the relevant SAR

declaration, certification information, and user guidance as appropriate.

More information on radio frequency exposure and SAR can be found at

www.sonyericsson.com.

2.6.3 Personal Medical Devices

Wireless modem devices may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers, hearing

aids and certain other implanted equipment. If a minimum distance of 15 cm (6

inches) is maintained between the GS64 module’s radiating antenna and a

pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If the integrator’s application is likely

to be situated in the vicinity of personnel, a suitable warning should be contained in

the equipment manual to this effect.

2.6.4 Disposal of Old Electronic Equipment

5.3 General Electrical and Logical Characteristics

The electrical characteristics in this document refer to the behavior of the device

under specified conditions. Electrical requirements refer to conditions imposed on

the user for proper operation of the device.

All IO to and from the GS64 is 1.8V unless otherwise stated. For user applications

employing other logic voltage technology it may be necessary to implement level

translators on the host-side circuitry in order to achieve level compatibility. To

facilitate ease of level conversion the GS64 provides a 1.8V reference on the VREF

pin. The VREF voltage from which all 1.8V logic is derived is covered in section 5.6

All input buffers are of the same type and they offer hysteresis of 200 mV—380 mV

The electrical characteristics for 1.8V IO signals are shown in Table 5.3-1

WARNING

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The wireless modem has insufficient internal capacitance to supply the

large current peaks during GSM burst transmission - use the following

general guidelines in designing the application power supply.

• Fit a low ESR electrolytic capacitor close to the wireless modem

(>1,000 µF, with an ESR < 100 mΩ)

TIP

• Ensure power supply to wireless modem line resistance is < 200 mΩ

The module has approximately 40µF of internal capacitance across the

VCC pins. During initial power-up the host power supply will have to

charge this capacitance to the operating voltage. This initial in-rush

current may exceed the module’s normal peak current, sometimes

greater than an order of magnitude higher (depending upon the power

supply design) for a short duration (generally a few microseconds).

5.7 Battery Charging Input (CHG_IN)

Name

Direction

Input

Function

CHG_IN

Battery charger power

For battery powered applications, the GS64 provides a charge input (CHG_IN) pin to

aid and support battery charging. A typical application would power the wireless

modem directly from a battery source connected to VCC (pins 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) then

provide a dc power source to the CHG_IN connection (pin 11). The GS64 can control

an internal switching FET which creates a charging pathway to the battery. While

power is provided at CHG_IN, the battery charge can be maintained. If the power

should fail or be removed at CHG_IN, the application will be supported by the battery

alone. When CHG_IN voltage returns, the battery charging and maintenance will

commence once more.

The GS64 module supports only one mode of charging, microprocessor supervised

pulsed-charging. Also, the module only supports one battery cell type as standard.

Users may, if they wish, develop charging algorithms and control through the Sony

Ericsson M2mpower Embedded Applications. Users wishing to attempt charging of

battery types not supported by the standard type, indicated in this document, do so

at their own risk.

Battery charging algorithms are unique to different battery types. Sony

Ericsson Mobile Communications will not accept any responsibility or

liability for damage, product failures, even death or injury occurring as

DANGER

a result of incompatible battery and charging algorithms being

applied.

Safety considerations must be taken into account when using the battery charge

function of the GS64; for example, monitoring the temperature of the battery. If the

temperature of the battery exceeds its specification limits, battery charging must be

stopped immediately. If the battery temperature continues to rise the application

should be suspended or the battery disconnected. Battery temperature can be

monitored with a suitable detection circuit, using the GS64 ADC inputs.

When charging Lithium batteries, the battery pack must have an

internal protection circuit in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions.

CAUTION

During microprocessor supervised mode, the GS64 takes a current-limited voltage

5.7.1 Charging Process

Figure 5.7-1 shows a typical battery charging implementation. The voltage source

must be current limited (500 mA max). A reverse current protection diode prevents

external fault conditions from draining the battery. A small (typ 10µF) capacitor

should be placed close to the CHG_IN pin.

In the application shown, a conditioning phase slowly raises the voltage of a deeply

discharged cell to a level suitable for fast-charging. After cell conditioning is

complete, the microprocessor uses the GS64’S ADC converter to monitor the battery

cell’s status and uses the power management block to control the charge-FET.

A charge request is initiated when an external voltage source is applied to the

CHG_IN pin. However, before this request is passed to the microprocessor, CHG_IN is

verified to be greater than VCC by 150 mV, and at least 3.7 V. If the latter criteria is

not met, the module limits charging to the conditioning phase. If the former criteria

is not met, the charge request is ignored and all charging is disabled. If the CHG_IN

voltage exceeds the upper limit of 6.3 V it will be detected by the module, but

charging is not inhibited. In this case, however, CHG_IN is outside the normal

operating range of the device, so the software will not initiate charging if CHG_IN >

6.3 V is detected.

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The delta between CHG_IN and VCC is continuously monitored; however, the valid to

invalid detection has a delay of 46 ms. When CHG_IN exceeds VCC by 150 mV, it is

considered to be at a valid relative level. It is considered to have an invalid relative

level if it subsequently falls below VCC by 50 mV. If the relative voltage of CHG_IN

goes invalid and remains invalid for the duration of the detection delay, charging is

terminated.

As a safety precaution, the battery cell voltage must be at least 2.5 V before fast-

charge is allowed to take place. If the battery cell voltage is less than 2.5 V, it is

considered either deeply discharged or shorted. To protect a Li-ion cell from the

damage that may occur if it is fast-charged from this state, a 3.6 V trickle-charge

source is used to safely condition the battery cell. The conditioning charge current is

limited to 50 mA, which for most Li-ion cells is 10% or less of the recommended CC

fast-charge current. In most instances, the battery cell voltage will be greater than

2.5 V at the time the charge request is initiated, resulting in the conditioning phase

being skipped.

There is always a small chance that the charge management block in

the GS64 power management ASIC will malfunction or fail, which

could lead to over-charging of the battery.

It is strongly

CAUTION

recommended that any battery chosen for use with your application

has its own additional integrated over-current and over-voltage

protection.

5.7.2 Series Diode

When charging is disabled, the potential for rapid cell discharge through the body

diode inherent in the Enhancement-mode charging FET, a Schottky diode must be

placed in between the external source and the CHG_IN pin. The diode should have a

forward current and power dissipation rating consistent with its intended use, and a

maximum forward voltage drop of 0.6V.

5.7.3 Battery Selection

Whilst there are several rechargeable battery technologies commercially available,

including Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), Lithium-Polymer (Li-

Polymer) and Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion), the only technology recommended and supported

for use with the GR64 is Li-Ion. Li-Ion provides a good combination of high energy

(3.7v) and long cycle life, which lead to low overall energy cost.

The weight of lithium ion batteries is approximately one half compared with a nickel

cadmium or nickel metal hydride battery of similar capacity. The volume of lithium

ion batteries is 40 to 50% smaller than that of nickel cadmium, and 20 to 30% smaller

than that of a nickel metal hydride.

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The lithium ion battery is free from the so-called memory effect, a phenomenon

associated with nickel cadmium in which the apparent battery capacity decreases

when shallow charge and discharge cycles are repeated.

A single lithium ion cell has a voltage of 3.7V (mean value), which is equal to either

three nickel cadmium or nickel-metal hydride cells connected in series. This voltage

is close to the nominal VCC of the GS64 device.

Li-Ion batteries generally provide long storage life with few limiting condition, and

offer problem-free charge after long storage. Under normal conditions, the lithium

ion battery has a life of more than 500 charge/discharge cycles. Also, Li-Ion

batteries have a slow self-discharge rate (typically 1.3% per month, compared with

Ni-MH batteries which can exceed 50% per month).

Lithium ion batteries are environmentally friendly, inasmuch as they do not contain

any heavy metal pollution substances such as cadmium, lead, or mercury.

There are many manufacturers of Li-Ion batteries worldwide. Sony Ericsson make no

recommendations with regard to specific vendors, but here are some considerations

for GS64 users which may prove to be useful in the selection process and

implementation:

•

Li-Ion batteries marketed for cellular (mobile) phone use may make a good

choice

battery manufacturers with heritage in supplying the cellular (mobile) phone

industry could make a good choice, especially for high-volume requirements

look carefully for batteries which are rated at temperatures that the GS64 is

likely to operate at (many batteries are only specified for -20°C to +65°C

operation which may not be sufficient)

•

small form-factor (typically handset-sized) Li-Ion battery capacity varies

considerably, some batteries are rated as high as 3200mAh (600mAh to

1800mAH are more commonly available)

weight is generally not a problem with typical GS64 user application, even so

small form-factor Li-Ion batteries (up to 1800mAh) can vary between 10 to

40 grams

size is generally a factor of capacity, since larger capacity batteries naturally

have more material/cells, and will range between 2750mm to 18000mm for

small form-factor Li-Ion batteries

•

the speed by which lithium-ion ages is governed by temperature and state-

of-charge; high temperatures and deep discharge will effect useful life

if possible avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional strain

on the battery, partial discharges with frequent recharges are better

•

never short circuit the terminals of a Li-Ion battery

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

•

do not expose Li-Ion batteries to moisture or rain

monitor battery temperature during charging using a thermistor placed on or

near the battery wired to an ADC input on the module

•

Li-Ion batteries have a higher ESR (compared to Ni-Cd or Ni-MH), although

this should not be a limiting factor for peak current delivery, any battery

should be capable of at least 50% greater than the GS64 demands (~3A pk)

To determine battery life, on a full charge, the following rule of thumb can be

applied:

Standby time = Battery Capacity (mAh) / Idle current (mA)

Call time (voice or data) = Battery Capacity (mAh) / Call current (mA)

Example 1 – Standby time:

A 600mAh rated Li-Ion battery, from fully charged (around 4.2V) to the module cut-

off point (3.2V) will provide around 95% of its total charge capacity. For a standby

(idle) current of 18mA, the module will typically provide

600*0.95/18 = 32 hours standby time

Example 2 – Call time:

An 1800mAh rated Li-Ion battery fully charged, transmitting maximum power on a

low-band (850/900MHz) channel may consume an average 320mA, therefore the

module would typically provide

1800*0.95/320 = 5 hours 20 mins call time

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Example 3 – Typical Operation:

A module performing periodic network data transfers and communicating intervallic

status information to its host would spend its non-active periods in sleep mode. If

the module spends 30 mins each day on call (320mA), 30 second each hour

performing housekeeping, monitoring and status tasks (110mA), and sleeps (2.1mA)

during the intervening periods, an 1800mAh rated Li-Ion battery fully charged would

typically provide

1800*0.95/([0.5hr*320]+[0.2hr*110]+[23.3hr*2.1]) = 7 days 6 hrs operation

The above examples are given for guidance, the actual battery life will

depend upon variables such as battery condition, number of previous

charge/discharge cycles, operating temperature, series resistance

5.8 Powering the Module ON and OFF (PON_L, PON_H)

Name

Direction

Function

PON_H

PON_L

Input

Device On/Off control

The GS64 offers two hardware methods to power up and down the module.

The PON_L signal utilizes a momentary switching mechanism to alternate between

power-on and power-off sequences. PON_L is held high to VCC by an internal pull-

up resistor. The user asserts PON_L by pulling this signal low for a pre-defined

period to initiate powering-on of the module. The user re-asserts PON_L with a

subsequent low transition, which is held low for a pre-defined period, to power-off

the module.

The PON_H signal is designed to be pulled high and maintained high for the power

on period. PON_H is held low by an internal pull-down resistor. The user asserts

PON_H by pulling this signal high to VCC in order to initiate powering-on of the

module, then maintains it constantly high during normal use. A subsequent de-

assertion, marked by a transition of PON_H from high to low, and then maintaining

the signal low, will initiate the power-off process.

Only one input should be exercised for each Power-on to Power-off event.

5.8.1 VREF as a Power Indicator

Presence of the VREF signal can be used as a useful indicator that power-on has been

successfully initiated. The absence of VREF can be used a successful indicator that

the power-off sequence is complete.

The initial presence of VREF indicates that the LDOs are powered, however the

module will be establishing network connectivity and registration at this point.

Communications between the host application and the module can commence

shortly thereafter, however completion of the network registration will be sometime

afterwards (the period is dependent upon network loading at the time of attempted

registration).

Once the power-off sequence has been initiates, shutting-down the LDOs is the last

action in the process. The absence of VREF is an indication that network de-

registration and shut-down is complete.

5.8.2.1 Power On Timing

Figure 5.8-2 Power On timing using PON_L as an example

The GS64 power On sequence is shown above using PON_L as an example. The

significant signals are VCC, P_ON and VREF, shown by solid lines. The other signals

(in dashed lines) are internal to the module and are shown for reference purposes

only.

Initially, power is supplied to the VCC pins. The presence of power raises the PON_L

through a pull-up resistor to VCC potential. In order to power the module, PON_L is

pulled to ground. Once PON_L has been held low for 125ms (denoted by t₁) the

primary LDOs power up, including the VREF output. VREF exceeds it’s reset

threshold approx 500µs later, then 250ms afterwards (denoted by t₂) the RESET line

goes high. The microprocessor can latch the power-on state by setting the power

keep (PWR_KEEP) high after the RESET goes high and before the power on (PON_L)

signal is released.

It is recommended that P_ON is held low for at least 450ms to guarantee completion

of the power up sequence.

The PON_H signal has a similar effect at the point of assertion. The power-on timing

sequence is the same, provided PON_H remains high. PON_H has to remain high in

order for the module to function.

5.8.3 Turning the Module Off

Figure 5.8-3 Power Down timing

The GS64 power down sequence is shown above. The significant signals are VCC,

PON_L and VREF, shown by solid lines. The other signals (in dashed lines) are

internal to the module and are shown for reference purposes only.

With the module powered normally, PON_L is pulled-up to VCC potential. In order to

power down the module, PON_L is pulled to ground. Once PON_L has been held low

for at least 125ms the shut-down procedure begins. Although PON_L can be held

low for longer, it will delay completion of the shut-down event. If the module is

registered on a GSM network, the de-registration process will complete; this may last

between 3 to 30 seconds. The power latch (PWR_KEEP) is released and approximately

70ms later the LDO outputs fall, as indicated by the removal of the VREF output.

Once VREF is no longer present, the application can safely remove VCC.

In order to turn the module off using the PON_H signal, the signal is released. The

power-off timing sequence is the same, provided PON_H remains low.

The RTC can continue to operate even though VCC is removed,

provided that a sufficiently charged backup device is connected to the

VRTC. Refer to section 5.20.1 for details.

The relevant characteristics of the ON/OFF Power control interface are shown in the

The analogue audio signals comprise of two audio inputs to the module, and two

audio outputs from the module. Both sets of audio interfaces are differential.

Analogue audio can be used for various configurations, including a car kit mode,

portable hands free and speakerphone (with an additional output gain stage).

Five audio profiles are available for GS64 users to configure various modes of

operation. Each profile is factory set to represent different modes, typical of general

usage. The customer can modify profiles to optimize acoustic performance to their

specific application.

The analogue inputs and outputs share common uplink and downlink chains which

are multiplexed, and selectively switched by the user through AT-commands.

There are five factory-set audio profiles as follows:

• portable hands free

• handset

• car kit

• speakerphone

• headset

Portable hands free is the factory-set default profile. The modification, configuration,

manipulation and storage of audio profiles is achieved with the AT*E2EAMS (Audio

Profile Modification) and AT*E2APR (Audio Profile).

5.10.1 PCM Data Format

The PCM digital audio interface for GS64 is based upon the Texas Instruments SSI

standard. The SSP is a versatile interface which can be programmed for different

clock rates and data frame sizes between 4 to 16 bits.

PCMCLK (bit clock) and PCMSYNC (frame synchronization) are both generated by the

DSP within the wireless modem. The DSP within the wireless modem in this instance

is the master for all external PCM, so clocks and data from external devices must be

synchronized to it.

These provide

The serial channels can be used in differing configurations, depending upon the

users requirements and application. In practice, both UARTs can be configured as

either the control interface or the logging interface. Similarly, control and logging

can be carried out simultaneously on the USB interface. However, the common

(default) configuration options are described:

• UART1 has full RS-232 functionality and is used for all on- and off –line

communication (modem sleep & wake functional control is an integral

component of this interface). Its intended use is that of the primary command

(AT) interface.

• UART2 behaves as a general-purpose serial data link. It can be used for data

logging and de-bugging purposes. It can also be used as a data interface to

peripheral devices, such as a GPS receiver.

• The USB port provides a convenient general purpose peripheral (slave) port for

use with host devices which have USB controllers.

UART1 has the following features :

• 32 bytes of FIFO for both receive and transmit

• FIFO threshold interrupts

• 1 start bit, 7 or 8 data bits, 1 optional parity bit, 1 or 2 stop bits

• Programmable baud rate

• Auto-configuration mode with auto-baud and auto-format operation

• Hardware flow control

• Software flow control.

UART1 signals replicate a 9-pin RS232 (V.24) serial port. However, UART1 signal

levels are not compliant with the RS232 (V.28) standard. Conversion between the

wireless modem CMOS levels and RS232 levels can be achieved using a standard

5.11.2 Serial Data Signals (DTM1, DFM1)

The default baud rate of the UARTs is auto-baud. Baud rates of between 600 bauds

to 460 kbauds are possible. The wireless modem also supports 3GPP TS27.010

multiplexing protocol, which starts when the appropriate command is sent.

5.11.3 Control Signals (RTS1, CTS1, DTR1, DSR1, DCD1, RI)

Depending upon the user application, some, all, or none of the control signals may

be needed. Each of the control signals can alternatively be configured as a general

purpose IO. When hardware flow control is not used in communications between the

application and the wireless modem, some applications may require RTS and CTS to

be connected to each other at the wireless modem. Users should familiarize

themselves with the specific implementation of their UART.

UART1 converted signals, together with GND, DTM1 and DFM1 form a 9-pin RS232

data port.

5.11.3.1

Hardware flow control RTS1 and CTS1

RTS and CTS provide a hardware flow control mechanism.

5.11.3.2

Request to Send (RTS1)

RTS is used to condition the DCE for data transmission. The default level is high by

internal pull up. The application must pull RTS low to enable data transmission from

the wireless modem. Similarly, the wireless modem asserts CTS low, indicating it is

ready to receive data transmission from the host.

5.11.3.3

Clear To Send (CTS1)

CTS is asserted by the DCE to indicate that the host (DTE) may transmit data. When

CTS is high, the host (DTE) is not permitted to transmit data. The table below shows

the load characteristics for this signal.

5.11.3.4

Data Terminal Ready (DTR1)

DTR indicates that the DTE is ready to receive data. It also acts as a hardware ‘hang-

up’, terminating calls when switched high. The signal is active low. Users can define

the exact behavior of DTR with an the AT&D command.

5.0V.

The USB interface has the following features

• Full-speed (12 Mbits/s) device operation

• 16 unidirectional endpoints

• Each endpoint capable of supporting control, interrupt, isochronous and bulk

transfer

• Programmable endpoint types and FIFO sizes and internal 1120-byte logical

(2240-byte physical for dual-packet mode) shared FIFO storage allow a wide

variety of configurations.

• Dual-packet mode of FIFOs reduces latency

• USB reset can be programmed to clear device address.

• Firmware ability to wake up and reset a suspended device

• 8, 16, 32, and 64-byte FIFO sizes for non-isochronous transfers

• 64, 256, 512, and 1024-byte FIFO sizes for isochronous transfers

• Firmware downloading

• Trace debug port for module diagnostics

The USB interface supports 3GPP TS 27.010 multiplexing, and may be used as the

primary AT-command interface.

Internally, the USBDP line is pulled up by a 1.5K resistor, in accordance with the USB

standard, to indicate that it’s a full-speed capable device to the USB controller.

To implement successful applications using the GS64 USB interface, users should

SIMDET is used to determine whether a SIM card has been inserted into or removed

from the SIM card holder. You should normally wire it to the ‘card inserted switch’ of

the SIM card holder, but different implementations are possible.

When left open, an internal pull-up resistor maintains the signal high and means ‘SIM

card missing’ to the wireless modem. When pulled low the radio device assumes a

SIM card is inserted. SIMDET is a Digital IO signal.

In order to meet regulatory approval requirements, the SIMDET

• Multimedia Card Specification v2.11

• Secure Digital Memory Card Physical Layer Specification v0.96

The SD/MMC interface provides around 800kbps net throughput.

The SD/MMC interface, like all IO in the module, is 1.8V. In order to interface to

some SD/MMC devices based on 3V technology it is necessary to level shift these

signals for compatibility purposes. The MMC MD & DAT enable signals (pins 80, 81,

82) are provided to configure level shifters for directivity, which may be used with the

Agere PSC2217 level shifter for example. There are other means of level shifting

using bi-directional level shifters which do not require direction pins, such as:

• Philips GTL2002, 2-bit bidirectional low voltage translators

• Maxim MAX3001E, 8-channel bidirectional level translators

5.13.1 Multimedia Card System

The multimedia card system transfers commands and data using three signal lines

on a single physical bus:

• MMCCLK: One bit is transferred on both command and data lines with each clock

cycle. The clock frequency varies between 0 MHz and 20 MHz for a multimedia

card.

LZT 123 1836

• MMCCMD: Bidirectional command channel that initializes a card and transfers

commands. CMD has two operational modes; open-drain for initialization and

push-pull for command transfer. This depends on speed requirements for the

command channel during the initialization phase; external open-drain pull-up

resistor may be needed if the 200 kΩ internal pull-up resistor is too large.

• MMCDAT: Bidirectional data channel, operating in push-pull mode.

5.13.2 Secure Digital Memory Card System

The secure digital memory card system consists of the host and cards connected in a

star topology. Multimedia cards and secure digital memory cards can be used in the

same system. The power supply can be provided by the host or level-shifter devices

such as Agere’s PSC2217.

The following signals are used on the secure digital memory card bus:

• MMCCLK: Host to card clock signal.

• MMCCMD: Bidirectional command/response signal (one per card if multiple cards

are connected to the bus, in which case, bus multiplexing logic is required).

• MMCDAT[3:0]: Bidirectional data signals (one set per card).

• VDD, VSS: Power and ground signals provided by the host or level translator

product.

The MCI (Multimedia Card Interface) does not contain bus multiplexing logic. If more

than one secure digital memory cards needs to be supported, the user must

implement bus multiplexing logic with external components.

LED control signal

The LED driver interface is able to operate single LEDs or a series of LEDs (such as

LED backlighting). The LED interfaces are driven by programmable current sources,

designed to control the brightness of the LEDs connected to them (typical of

keyboard or LCD illumination).

LED1 can be programmed to sink up to 75mA or 150mA in nonlinear steps over two

ranges of output. LED2 can be programmed to sink from up to 50mA or 100mA in

nonlinear step over two ranges of outputs. Both LED drivers are capable of sinking

their maximum output current at a worst-case maximum output voltage of 0.4 V. For

efficient use, the LEDs should be forward connected between the main battery and

their corresponding LED driver output.

The LED drivers require no supporting components, eliminating the need for current-

limiting resistors. The LED outputs should be programmed to values consistent with

their rated values. If desired, both LED outputs can be ganged together to provide a

maximum single LED driver sink capability of 250mA.

5.16 General Purpose IO

All general purpose IO (GPIO) is programmable by the user. Some GPIO signals are

dedicated, other GPIO can be configured as an alternative to other signal

functionality if it is not required by the user. GPIO which has alternate functionality

is effectively multiplexed, so that the user chooses through AT commands the

appropriate configuration for their application.

Regular (dedicated) IO and alternate function IO have exactly the same characteristics

and can be programmed in the same way. The use of alternate function IO is subject

to some degree of limitation:

• Signals which are assigned SD/MMC functionality are controlled by a single

not possible individually allocate function.

• Signals which are assigned keyboard functionality can be re-allocated GPIO

functionality on a pin-by-pin basis, providing anything from 1 to 9 additional

GPIO.

• Signals defined as keyboard functions are programmed to generate interrupts,

however the same pins programmed as GPIO do not have interrupt capability

associated with them.

GPIO is programmable for the following features

• either an input or output

• level-sensitive or transition-sensitive

• open drain or direct drive

• polarity (inversion)

• internal pull-up resistors

Signal labeled in the Configurable IO table which are not being used for the indicated

alternative function be used as general purpose inputs or outputs; they are not

constrained to work in only one direction.

GPIO has a number of sharing (configuration) options. Sharing means that it is not

feasible to operate all the alternative features concurrently, however, with care,

dynamic switching from one feature to another is possible.

5.16.1Embedded Applications

When a particular IO feature is required, the user sets the state of the relevant IO

blocks by disabling one set before enabling others.

The wireless modem checks the state of the IO when the user requests a new

function. The new function is rejected if the current function is not released first.

The states of GPIOn to GPIOm are retained for the next power up. For example,

inputs remain as inputs and outputs remain as outputs. The voltage of a defined

output pin will still drop to 0 Volts in the wireless modem power down state.

Transmit indication

Burst transmission is the period during which the GSM transceiver is transmitting RF

signals. TX_ON is an indicator that the module is transmitting.

A typical application may use TX_ON to blank adjacent receiver circuitry as a means

of protecting sensitive input stages.

5.20 Real Time Clock

The real-time clock (RTC) is driven by a 32.768 kHz clock from an internal crystal

oscillator. The clock is divided by 32,768 to generate a clock with a 1 second period

that increments a 29-bit seconds counter. In addition, it can generate interrupts at a

programmed time. The following are the features of RTC:

• 17-year time interval with 1 second resolution.

• Programmed time alarm interrupt

• Alarm output pin

An RTC alarm can be set by using the AT-command AT+CALA.

The RTC relies on an uninterrupted 1.5 V (nominal) power supply (VRTC), whether the

module is powered off or on. The RTC alarm operates from the VRTC supply, and

therefore utilize 1.5 V logic.

Users have the responsibility to provide a backup

battery to provide uninterrupted VRTC function when the module is powered down.

5.20.1Real Time Clock Backup Supply (VRTC)

Name

VRTC

Direction

Input

Function

DC supply for real time clock

VRTC provides an input connection to the module which allows the user to power the

real time clock (RTC) within the GS64 by way of a coin cell or charged capacitor.

When the module is powered, an internal LDO regulator provides a 200µA source

designed to supply the microprocessor’s RTC block. It is also intended to recondition

a rechargeable coin cell that supplies the RTC module when the main battery is

removed, or has insufficient energy. Because this LDO is always on, even when the

module is powered down, it features very low quiescent current. It also offers

reverse current protection, with low leakage, when the coin cell is powering the RTC

block.

The RTC LDO is primarily designed to charge manganese-silicon lithium batteries.

Rechargeable coin cells with different chemical composition may also be charged,

provided their charging requirements are consistent with the RTC LDO’s electrical

characteristics. The VRTC output is nominally 1.5 V.

ALARM

RTC Alarm

The Alarm output is logic output from the module which is supplied from the RTC

circuitry block. This block is in turn supplied either from the main supply of the

module or from a backup battery if the main supply is not available.

5.20.2.1

ALARM Output from the Module

The ALARM time is set by the use of an AT-command. The output is normally at

VRTC level and will go low for one second when the ALARM becomes active.

Since the VRTC interface is operable down to 1.1V, transistor circuitry must be used

on the host side. It is recommended that integrators use an FET to minimize current

consumption. If a suitable FET, operating at the low voltage necessary, cannot be

found then bi-polar must be used. The resistors shall be kept as high impedance as

possible to minimize current consumption.

Figure 5.20-2 Typical host-side circuit for ALARM output

VRTC is specified to work down to 1.1V across the environmental operating

conditions of the GS64. Integrators may discover in controlled environments that the

VRTC interface will function reliably as low as 0.8V, so best practice would be to

design the circuitry to operate down to 0.7V.

5.20.3 ALARM Utilization as a Wake-up

The ALARM output can be used by the host application to wake up from standby or

hibernation mode, but it can also be used to completely power up the host

application. The example below shows how the ALARM output (marked Out on

Figure 5.20-2, and In on Figure 5.20-3) triggers the enabling of the main power to

7 Hints for Integrating the Wireless Modem

This chapter gives you advice and helpful hints on how to integrate the wireless

modem into your application from a hardware perspective.

Please read and consider the information under the following headings before

starting your integration work:

• Safety advice and precautions.

• Installation of the wireless modem.

• Antenna.

7.1 Safety Advice and Precautions

7.1.1 General

• Always ensure that use of the wireless modem is permitted. The radio device

may present a hazard if used in proximity to personal medical electronic devices.

As a rule, the wireless modem must not be used in hospitals or onboard aircraft.

• You are responsible for observing your country’s safety standards, and where

applicable the relevant wiring rules.

• Never use the wireless modem at a gas station, refueling point, blasting area or

in any other environment where combustible vapors or explosives may be

present.

• Operating the wireless modem close to other electronic devices, such as

antennas, television sets, and radios may cause electromagnetic interference.

• Never try to dismantle the wireless modem yourself. There are no components

inside the wireless modem that can be serviced by the user. If you attempt to

dismantle the wireless modem, you may invalidate the warranty.

• To protect the power supply cables and meet the fire safety requirements, it is

recommended that the electrical circuits are supplied with a power regulator. The

power regulator should be placed as close to the terminals of the power supply

as possible.

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Do not connect any incompatible component or product to the module.

Sony Ericsson does not warrant against defects, malfunction, non-

conformities or deviation caused by the connection of incompatible

components or products to the GS64.

NOTE

• The connection/disconnection method for the development board is by means of

the DC power jack. For this reason, the mains supply should be situated close to

the development board and be easily accessible.

7.2 SIM Card

• Before handling any SIM card, users should ensure that they are not charged with

static electricity. Use proper precautions to avoid electrostatic discharges. The

wireless modem must be switched off before the SIM card is installed or

uninstalled.

• When the SIM card holder is opened, the SIM card connections lie exposed under

the SIM card holder. CAUTION: Do not touch these connections! Failure to heed

this advice may release an electrical discharge that could damage the wireless

modem or the SIM card.

• When designing applications, the SIM card’s accessibility should be taken into

account. Sony Ericsson recommends that users protect SIM card access by a PIN

code. This will ensure that the SIM card cannot be used by an unauthorized

person.

7.3 Antenna

• If the antenna is to be mounted outside, consider the risk of lightning.

• Always follow the instructions provided by the antenna manufacturer.

• Never connect more than one wireless modem to a single antenna.

• The wireless modem can be damaged by radio frequency energy from the

transmitter of another adjacent wireless transmitter.

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Like any mobile station, the antenna of the wireless modem emits radio

frequency energy. To avoid EMI (electromagnetic interference), users must

determine whether the application itself, or equipment in the application’s

proximity, requires further protection against radio emission and the

disturbances it might cause. Protection is secured either by shielding the

surrounding electronics or by moving the antenna away from the electronics and

the external signals cable.

• The wireless modem and antenna may be damaged if either come into contact

with ground potentials other than the one in the users application. Beware,

ground potential are not always what they appear to be.

• In the final application, the antenna must be positioned more than 20 cm away

from human bodies. When this rule cannot be applied, the application designer

is responsible for providing the SAR measurement test report and declaration.

• Even if SAR measurements are not required, it is considered good practice to

insert a warning in any manual produced, indicating it is a radio product and that

care should be taken.

7.4 Installation of the Wireless modem

7.4.1 Where to Install the Wireless modem

There are several conditions which need to be taken into consideration when

designing your application as they might affect the wireless modem and its function.

They are:

7.4.1.1 Environmental Conditions

The wireless modem must be installed so that the environmental conditions stated in

the Technical Data chapter, such as temperature, humidity and vibration are

satisfied. Additionally, the electrical specifications in the Technical Data section must

not be exceeded.

7.4.1.2 Signal Strength

• The wireless modem has to be placed in a way that ensures sufficient signal

strength. To improve signal strength, the antenna can be moved to another

position. Signal strength may depend on how close the wireless modem is to a

radio base station. You must ensure that the location at which you intend to use

the wireless modem, is within the network coverage area.

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Degradation in signal strength can be the result of a disturbance from another

source, for example an electronic device in the immediate vicinity. More

information about possible communication disturbances can be found in section

8.3.5, page 59.

• When an application is completed, you can verify signal strength by issuing the

AT command AT+CSQ or AT*E2EMM. See the AT Commands Manual for further

details.

Before installing the wireless modem, use an ordinary mobile telephone

to check a possible location for it. In determining the location for the

radio device and antenna, you should consider signal strength as well

TIP

as cable length.

7.4.1.3 Connection of Components to Wireless modem

• The integrator is responsible for the final integrated system.

Incorrectly

designed or installed, external components may cause radiation limits to be

exceeded. For instance, improperly made connections or improperly installed

antennas can disturb the network and lead to malfunctions in the wireless

modem or equipment.

7.4.1.4 Network and Subscription

• Before the integrator’s application is used, the user must ensure that their

chosen network provides the necessary telecommunication services. Integrators

should contact their service provider to obtain the necessary information.

• Integrators intending to use SMS in the application should ensure this is included

in their (voice) subscription.

• Similarly, integrators intending to use GPRS for data services should also ensure

that this service is available on their network and in their account plan.

• Users should consider the choice of the supplementary services described in

section 2.3.2Short Message Service, page 14.

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

7.4.2 How to Install the Wireless modem

7.4.2.1 Power Supply

Use a high-quality power supply cable with low resistance. This ensures that the

voltages at the connector pins are within the allowed range, even during the

maximum peak current. An electrolytic capacitor should be placed close to the power

supply pins of the wireless modem to supply the peak currents during burst

transmission. See 5.5 Regulated Power Supply Input (VCC), page 34.

7.4.2.2 Grounds

A ground connection is provided at the mounting hole next to the RF connector on

the wireless modem (see Figure 5.1, page 19). Connect this ground point to the GND

pins of the wireless modem by the shortest, low impedance path possible. The

purpose of this connection is to allow any ESD picked up by the antenna to bypass

the wireless modem’s internal ground path.

Note! It is recommended that you use a cable with a maximum resistance of 5

milliohm for the ground connection.

Note! AREF and GND are connected at a single point inside the wireless modem.

They must not be joined together in your application.

7.4.2.3 Audio

Use a coupling capacitor in AUXI line if the application does not use the wireless

modem’s bias voltage. See also Figure 5.9-1 Microphone connections to the wireless

modem, page 50.

7.4.2.4 Software Upgrade

There are two ways of updating the firmware in the GS64. There is a web based tool

that can access a Sony Ericsson server from where SW can be downloaded. There is

also an Updater, which is a local application that downloads an image provided by

SEMC.

LZT 123 1836

7.5 Antenna

7.5.1 General

The antenna is the component in the users system that maintains the radio link

between the network and the wireless modem. Since the antenna transmits and

receives electromagnetic energy, its efficient function will depend on:

• the type of antenna (for example, circular or directional)

• the placement of the antenna

• communication disturbances in the vicinity in which the antenna operates

In the sections below, issues concerning antenna type, antenna placement, antenna

cable, and possible communication disturbances are addressed.

In any event, users should contact their local antenna manufacturer for additional

information concerning antenna type, cables, connectors, antenna placement, and

the surrounding area. Users should also determine whether the antenna needs to be

grounded or not. Usually, a local antenna manufacturer should be able to design a

special antenna suitable for the integrators application and environment.

7.5.2 Antenna Type

Users should ensure that they choose the right type of antenna for the wireless

modem.

The antenna must be designed for the frequency bands deployed in the regions that

the wireless modem is being used. For fixed locations this may be dual bands (for

example E-GSM900/GSM1800 in Europe; GSM850/GSM1900 in North America). For

applications which are mobile, users should consider whether three or all four GSM

bands could be encountered.

Other factors in choosing antenna are equally important:

• the impedance of the antenna and antenna cable must be 50 ohms at all

frequencies being used

• the antenna output-power handling capability must be a minimum of 2 W

• the antenna VSWR value should be less than 3:1 to avoid damage to the radio

device

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

7.5.3 Antenna Placement

The antenna should be placed away from electronic devices or other antennas. The

recommended minimum distance between adjacent antennas, operating in a similar

radio frequency band, is at least 50 cm.

If signal strength is weak, it is useful to face a directional antenna at the closest radio

base station. This can increase the strength of the signal received by the wireless

modem.

The wireless modem’s peak output power can reach 2 W. RF field strength varies

with antenna type and distance. At 10 cm from the antenna the field strength may be

up to 70 V/m and at 1m it will have reduced to 7 V/m.

In general, CE-marked products for residential and commercial areas, and light

industry can withstand a minimum of 3 V/m.

7.5.4 The Antenna Cable

Use 50 ohm impedance low-loss cable and high-quality 50 ohm impedance

connectors (frequency range up to at least 2 GHz) to avoid RF losses. Ensure that the

antenna cable is as short as possible.

The effectiveness of the antenna, cable and connectors is determined by their

quality. All connectors, adaptors and cables should be of the highest quality, lowest

loss, lowest VSWR rating that is affordable to the user.

Minimize the use of extension cables, connectors and adapters. Each additional

cable, connector or adapter will result in additional loss of signal power.

7.5.5 Possible Communication Disturbances

Communication disturbances can adversely effect the quality of wireless links,

including the following causes:

• Noise can be caused by electronic devices and radio transmitters.

• Path-loss occurs as the strength of the received signal steadily decreases in

proportion to the distance from the transmitter.

• Shadowing is a form of environmental attenuation of radio signals caused by

hills, buildings, trees or even vehicles. This can be a particular problem inside

buildings, especially if the walls are thick and reinforced.

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Multi-path fading is a sudden decrease or increase in the signal strength. This is

the result of interference caused when direct and reflected signals reach the

antenna simultaneously. Surfaces such as buildings, streets, vehicles, etc., can

reflect signals.

8 Embedded Applications

The wireless modem has the capability to store and run customer written code in the

form of a script during the processor’s idle time, through the use of an on board

interpreter.

8.1 Features

Main features of embedded applications are as follows:

• C based scripting language (Sony Ericsson specific)

• Over the air upgrade of scripts (NOT GSM software)

• Library of intrinsic functions

• 2 scripts can be stored in the memory at any time (but only 1 can be active)

8.2 Implementation

The wireless modem has up to 256k of space available for storage of two scripts in

the scripting language and TBD of operating RAM. Structures included in this

language are:

• If - then - else statements

• While loops

• For loops

All hardware interfaces that are normally available to the wireless modem through

the AT commands are available to the embedded application.

Further drivers have been written such as M bus, keypad, SPI and I2C for use by the

embedded application (EA) through the use of the I/O pins.

8.2.1 Limitations

Since the wireless modem is processing the script using its own memory, limitations

are placed onto the scripts that are run.

• A direct comparison cannot be made to a fully compiled C program in terms of

size, but a gauge of script size is that if each line were 128 characters long in the

script then the script could be about 16,000 lines long.

LZT 123 1836

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Processing power is something that needs to be considered as the script is run

as a low priority process within the software. However, controller mode stops

GSM operation and provides all the processing power for the script to be run.

See the M2mpower Application Guide for more details.

• Code cannot be ported directly from an existing application and loaded directly

onto the wireless modem. It must be re-written in the Sony Ericsson Mobile

script language so that the wireless modem interpreter can function correctly.

8.2.2 M2mpower IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

The IDE is a Windows based package which allows the user to write, simulate, debug

and download the application into a wireless modem with the embedded application

(EA) software. The standard version is designed to run on Windows XP and 2000.

The M2mpower Application Guide is available for implementing applications using

the developer’s kit and the embedded application (EA) functionality.

This is a required package to be able to implement an embedded application (EA).

For further information please contact Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications

customer support.

9 TCP/IP Stack

An on board IP/TCP/UDP stack has been integrated into the software negating the

need for the customer to implement one in their own code base.

This is accessible by using an embedded applications (see section 9) using intrinsic

functions or through AT commands.

9.1 Implementation

The following types of commands allow various functions:

• Open/closing IP connection - Negotiates/closes a dynamic IP address with the

web server.

• Send/Receive TCP packets - Performs all TCP operations to send and receive

packets.

• Send/Receive UDP packets - Performs all UDP operations to send and receive

packets.

• Resolve URL to an IP address - Similar to nslookup command in DOS When the

unit is set up and controlled using the embedded applications

12 Introduction to the Universal Developer’s Kit

The Sony Ericsson M2M universal developer’s kit (UDK) is designed to get you started

quickly. It contains all the hardware you will need to begin the development of an

application.

The only items you need to provide are; a wireless modem, a computer, a SIM card

with a network subscription, and a knowledge of programming with AT commands.

The main hardware of the UDK is an open board onto which you plug the wireless

modem, using an adaptor board where necessary. Connectors, switches, jumpers

and SIM card holder are provided to allow you to configure and access all the

functions of the radio device.

Two version of the UDK exists; the first-generation UDK is designed for legacy M2M

products available during 2003 to 2005; a second-generation Universal Developers

Kit Mk 2 is available for M2M products from 2006 onwards. Components, adaptor

boards and peripheral interfaces are not inter-changeable between the two UDK

products.

A separate user manual describes the set-up and use of the UDK. This can be

downloaded from the Sony Ericsson M2M Extranet web pages or obtained from your

local sales support representative upon request.
