3.1.1 Power Supply Design Guide

Make sure that the voltage on the VBAT pins will never drop below 3.135V, even during a transmit event, when current consumption may rise up to 1.0A. If the voltage drops below 3.135V, the module will be powered off automatically.

NOTE
Be sure the power supply for VBAT pins can support more than1.0A, using a total of more than 100uF capacitors is recommended, in order to avoid the voltage drop to lower than 3.135V.

Some multi-layer ceramic chip (MLCC) capacitors (0.1/1uF) with low ESR in high frequency band can be used for EMC. These capacitors should be put as close as possible to VBAT pads. Also, users should keep VBAT trace on circuit board wider than 1.0 mm to minimize PCB trace impedance. The following figure shows the recommended circuit. If the VBAT generated by a switch mode power supply,it is suggested to add a bead to suppress the

NOTE
1. The test condition: The voltage of power supply for VBAT is 3.7V, Ca is 100 µF tantalum capacitor (ESR=0.7). 2. PIN3,5,71,73 are the main return current path of module,these pins should be coppered by a ground plane to main ground. 3. All other GND pins also need connect to ground.

In addition, in order to guard for over voltage protection, it is suggested to use a TVS diode to protect the M.2 card.TVS diode should be placed near VBAT pins.

Module is ready for data transmission, but no data is currently sent or received. In this case, power consumption depends on network settings. There is data transmission in progress. In this case, power consumption is related to network settings (e.g. power control level); uplink/downlink data rates, etc. Pulling down the W_disable1# pin can be used to set the Module to flight mode without removing the power supply. In this mode, the RF part of the Module will not work, but the serial port and USB port are still accessible. The power consumption in this mode is lower than normal mode. Module will go into power off mode by sending the AT command “AT+CPOF” then pull down the FULL_CARD_POWER_OFF# pin, normally. In this mode the power management unit shuts down the power supply, and software is not active. The serial port and USB are is not accessible.

NOTE

These AT Command is under development,for details please contact SIMCom support teams.

5.3.2 Sleep mode
In sleep mode, the current consumption of Module will be reduced to a very low level, and Module can still receive paging message and SMS. Several hardware and software conditions must be satisfied in order to let Module enter into sleep mode: 1. UART condition 2. USB condition 3. Software condition

Install SIM6600-eM2 to Board

The module should be install well by the connector and screw as the following figure illustration. The module Stand-off and mounting screw also serve as part of the module Electrical Ground path. The Stand-off should be connected directly to the ground plane on the platform. So that when the module is mounted and the mounting screw is screwed on to hold the module in place, this will make the electrical ground connection from the module to the platform ground plane.
Figure 25: Equipment diagram

Thermal Design

Customer should pay attentions to the thermal design of SIM6600-eM2, for the mass data application, the module would work in max power status and last long time, the temperature of module would increase quickly, especially in high temperature environment. Module reserved a ground plane on the bottom side for the heat dissipating, customer could conduct the heat to the large board by the silica gel, and the surface copper area on large board should be more than 900 mm2. For better thermal performance, customer could use a heat sink device to conduct the heat to the air.

Requirements

When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions about the use of mobiles. Switch the cellular terminal or mobile off, medical equipment may be sensitive and not operate normally due to RF energy interference. Switch off the cellular terminal or mobile before boarding an aircraft. Make sure it is switched off. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communication systems. Forgetting to think much of these instructions may impact the flight safety, or offend local legal action, or both. Do not operate the cellular terminal or mobile in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.

Your cellular terminal or mobile receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. RF interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or other electric equipment. Road safety comes first! Do not use a hand-held cellular terminal or mobile when driving a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted in a holder for hands free operation. Before making a call with a hand-held terminal or mobile, park the vehicle. GSM cellular terminals or mobiles operate over radio frequency signals and cellular networks and cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions, especially with a mobile fee or an invalid SIM card. While you are in this condition and need emergent help, please remember to use emergency calls. In order to make or receive calls, the cellular terminal or mobile must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength. Some networks do not allow for emergency call if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may have to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call. Also, some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in the cellular terminal or mobile.

FCC Caution
