2 Hardware Commands

2.1 Turning ON the GC864

To turn on the GC864 the pad ON# must be tied low for at least 1 second and then released.

The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pad is 0,1 mA.

A simple circuit to do it is:

NOTE: don't use any pull up resistor on the ON# line, it is internally pulled up. Using pull up

resistor may bring to latch up problems on the GC864 power regulator and improper power

on/off of the module. The line ON# must be connected only in open collector configuration.

NOTE: In this document all the lines that are inverted, hence have active low signals are

labeled with a name that ends with a "#" or with a bar over the name.

NOTE: The GC864 turns fully on also by supplying power to the Charge pad (provided there's

a battery on the VBATT pads).

For example:

1- Let's assume you need to drive the ON# pad with a totem pole output of a +3/5 V microcontroller

(uP_OUT1):

2- Let's assume you need to drive the ON# pad directly with an ON/OFF button:

2.2 Turning OFF the GC864

The turning off of the device can be done in three ways:

• by software command (see GC864 Software User Guide)

• by hardware shutdown

When the device is shut down by software command or by hardware shutdown, it issues to the

network a detach request that informs the network that the device will not be reachable any more.

2.2.1 Hardware shutdown

To turn OFF the GC864 the pad ON# must be tied low for at least 1 second and then released.

The same circuitry and timing for the power on shall be used.

The device shuts down after the release of the ON# pad.

TIP: To check if the device has powered off, the hardware line PWRCTL should be monitored.

When PWRCTL goes low, the device has powered off.

2.3 Hardware Unconditional Reboot

To unconditionally Reboot the GC864, the pad RESET# must be tied low for at least 200 milliseconds

and then released.

The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pad is 0,15 mA.

A simple circuit to do it is:

NOTE: don't use any pull up resistor on the RESET# line nor any totem pole digital output.

Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the GC864 power regulator and

improper functioning of the module. The line RESET# must be connected only in open

collector configuration.

TIP: The unconditional hardware reboot should be always implemented on the boards and

software should use it as an emergency exit procedure.

For example:

1- Let's assume you need to drive the RESET# pad with a totem pole output of a +3/5 V

microcontroller (uP_OUT2):

3 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.

3.1 Power Supply Requirements

The GC864 power requirements are:

• Nominal Supply Voltage: 3.8 V

• Max Supply Voltage: 4.2 V

• Supply voltage range: 3.4 V - 4.2 V

• Max Peak current consumption (impulsive): 1.9 A

• Max Average current consumption during GPRS transmission (rms): 500 mA

• Max Average current consumption during VOICE/CSD transmission (rms): 270 mA

• Average current during Power Saving: ≈4 mA

• Average current during idle (Power Saving disabled) ≈19 mA

The GSM system is made in a way that the RF transmission is not continuous, else it is packed into

bursts at a base frequency of about 216 Hz, the relative current peaks can be as high as about 2A.

Therefore the power supply has to be designed in order to withstand with these current peaks without

big voltage drops; this means that both the electrical design and the board layout must be designed for

this current flow.

If the layout of the PCB is not well designed a strong noise floor is generated on the ground and the

supply; this will reflect on all the audio paths producing an audible annoying noise at 216 Hz; if the

voltage drop during the peak current absorption is too much, then the device may even shutdown as a

consequence of the supply voltage drop.

TIP: The electrical design for the Power supply should be made ensuring it will be capable of a

peak current output of at least 2 A.

3.2 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.

3.2.1 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

3.2.1.1 + 5V input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines

• The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence there's not a big difference between the

input source and the desired output and a linear regulator can be used. A switching power supply

will not be suited because of the low drop out requirements.

• When using a linear regulator, a proper heat sink shall be provided in order to dissipate the power

generated.

• A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current

absorption peaks close to the GC864, a 100μF tantalum capacitor is usually suited.

• Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually a tantalum one) is rated at

least 10V.

• A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order to save the GC864 from

power polarity inversion.
