26 VDD_1.8V PWR 1.8 V power supply output

27 VDD_2.6V PWR 2.6 V power supply output

47 VRTC PWR RTC power supply input/output Not used for any other functions

Ensure that the VBAT never exceeds 4.5 V DC. Voltage higher than 4.5 V DC may damage the WM620

module.

3.1.1 VBAT

VBAT is the main power supply of the module. Its input voltage ranges from 3.3 V to 4.2 V and the

preferable value is 3.9 V. The average current is lower than 500 mA. In addition to digital signals and

analog signals, it supplies power for RF power amplifier.

The performance of the VBAT power supply is a critical path to module's performance and stability. The

peak input current at the VBAT pin can be up to 2 A when the signal is weak and the module works at the

maximum transmitting power. The voltage will encounter a drop in such a situation. The module might

restart if the voltage drops lower than 3.3 V. Thus a large capacitor (e.g. 100 μF tantalum capacitor or 470

μF aluminum capacitor) with low ESR must be installed near the VBAT to avoid or reduce the voltage

drop caused by the RF power amplifier. Figure 3-1 shows the burst current and the voltage drops.

Page 16: WM620 Hardware User Guide - wless.ru

WM620 Hardware User Guide

Copyright © Neoway Technology Co., Ltd 9

Figure 3-1 Current peaks and voltage drops

Figure 3-2 shows a recommended power supply design for the module.

Figure 3-2 Power supply design

The current test results vary with the internal impedance of the ESR capacitors and power supply. In the

above circuit, use TVS diode at D1 to enhance the performance of the module during a burst. A 100 μF

capacitor with low ESR or 470 μF aluminum capacitor is expected at C1 to reduce voltage drops during

bursts. In case of Li-ion cell battery used, a 220 μF tantalum capacitor may be applicable because the

battery has low internal impedance. In addition, add 0.1 μF, 100 pF, and 33 pF filter capacitors to filter

high frequency interference.

A controllable power supply is preferable if the module is used in harsh conditions. The WM620 module

might fail to reset in remote or unattended applications, or in an environment with great electromagnetic

interference (EMI). Users can use the EN pin on the LDO or DC/DC chipset to control the power supply

as shown in Figure 3-3 if 5 V power supply is adopted.

MIC29302WU in the following figure is an LDO and it can output 3 A current to ensure the performance

of the module.

Figure 3-3 Reference design of power supply controlled by MIC29302

The alternative way is to use a p-MOSFET to control the module's power supply, as shown in Figure 3-4.

This way is used if the power supply system does not consist of an EN pin. When the MCU detects the

exceptions such as no response from the module or GPRS disconnection, power-off/on can rectify the

module exceptions thoroughly. In Figure 3-4, the module is powered on when VCC_EN is set to high

level.

Reference components:

Q1 can be IRML6401 or Rds(on) p-MOSFET which has higher withstand voltage and drain current.

Q2: a common NPN transistor, e.g. MMBT3904; or a digital NPN transistor, e.g. DTC123. If digital

transistor is used, delete R1 and R2.

C4: 100 μF tantalum capacitor rated at 6.3V; or 470 μF aluminum capacitor.

Protection

It is strongly recommended to add a TVS diode (VRWM=5 V) to the VBAT power supply. For some stable

power supplies, zener diodes can decrease the power supply overshoot. SMAJ5.0A/C, SMBJ5.0A/C,

MMSZ5231B1T1G from ONSEMI, and PZ3D4V2 from Prisemi are options.

Trace

The primary loop lines for VBAT on PCB must support the safe transmission of 2 A current and ensure

no obvious loop voltage decrease. Therefore, the trace width is required greater than 1.5 mm and the

ground should be as complete as possible.

3.1.2 VRTC

VRTC is the power supply pin of RTC inside the module to ensure that the clock works properly even

though the module encounters exceptional power failure. It can be connected to external battery or

supercapacitor. When VBAT works properly, VRTC outputs 2 mA current to charge the backup battery or

the capacitor. When VBAT is disconnected, the battery or capacitor will supply power for RTC in short

time. If using a capacitor rather than a backup battery, connect the capacitor to the VRTC and then ground

the capacitor. The capacitor must be charged before it supplies power for RTC in an exceptional situation.

Figure 3-5 shows the reference design of the VRTC power supply.

Figure 3-5 RTC reference design

The capacity of the supercapacitor is dependent on the duration of exceptional power failures. Table 3-2

shows the capacity matching the power failure duration.

3.1.3 VDD

VDD_1.8V and VDD_2.6V are two power supply output pins, which can bear 20 mA in normal situation.

It is recommended to use them only for level shifting. The VDD_2.6V pin do not stop output after the

module enters the sleep mode.

3.1.4 ON_OFF Pin and Power-on Procedure

Prior to turning on the module, start the host MCU and complete the UART initialization. Otherwise

conflictions may occur during initialization due to unstable conditions.

ON/OFF is a low level pulse active input, used to turn on or off the module. It is pulled up to 1.8V

internally by a 200KΩ resistor and controlled by external OC. Figure 3-7 shows its pulse width and

power-on procedure.

When the WM620 is powered on, the VDD_2.6V pin will be pulled up and keep 2.6 V DC output. The

UART will send +EIND:8 after the module is powered on properly and send +EUSIM:1 after the USIM

card is identified. Then the module is ready to response AT commands. If the module does not identify the

USIM card, the UART will send +EIND:8+EUSIM:ERROR.

While the module is on, keep the ON_OFF pin low level for 2 seconds. Then the module enters shutdown

procedure and will be off in 5 seconds. Another approach to turn off the module is using AT commands.

For details, see Neo_WM620 WCDMA Module AT Command.

Keep ON_OFF low level or connecting to GND, and WM620 can start automatically when it is powered

on.

Figure 3-6 shows the circuit of ON_OFF controlled by high-level pulse.

Figure 3-6 Reference circuit of ON_OFF controlled by high level

The ON_OFF pin might encounter pulse interference generated by ESD. It is recommended to parallel a

10 nF capacitor connected to the ground to protect the ON_OFF pin.

It is not recommended to connect the ON_OFF pin to ground to start the module because it will affect the

ESD feature of the module.

The ON_OFF pin can control the module startup and shutdown. Do not repeat triggering this pin.

Otherwise, the startup or shutdown might fail. For example, the user plans to start up the module but gives

low level pulse for twice, resulting in shutdown.

The shutdown function of the ON_OFF pin is controlled by the software. If the software is not running

properly, the module cannot shut down properly.

3.1.5 RESET

RESET is a hard reset input pin that is pulled up internally by a resistance and activated by low level

signal.

Low level pulse longer than 20 ms can reset the WM620 module. After resetting the module, power on

the module again. The recommended reset pulse is 50 ms, and it cannot exceed 2 seconds. Otherwise, the

WM620 module will be powered off.

If the ON_OFF pin is at low level or connected to GND, the WM620 can restart automatically once

resetting the module. Figure 3-8 shows the reference design of reset circuit.

Figure 3-8 Reset circuit

The RESET pin is sensitive to pulse. Place a 10 nF filter capacitor close to the pin to filter natural

interference. Ensure complete ground around the trace of this pin and dig holes on both side of the trace.

If the level from the external MCU exceeds 1.8 V, OC control is recommended. Leave the pin not

connected if not use it.

The module works in complicated environment. It might encounter halt or other abnormities. Therefore,

take automatic restore into consideration when designing products. The following two methods are

recommended:

Control the RESET pin (emergency shutdown) to set low level for hard shutdown.

Perform the soft shutdown process by referring to Neo_WM620 WCDMA Module AT Command Set.

Five seconds later, power off or reset the module. Otherwise, the program might be damaged during

the hard shutdown if the module is reading or writing information in the memory.

3.5.1 Basic Descriptions of UART

UART is used for AT commands, data sending/receiving, etc.

The UART of WM620 works at 2.6 V CMOS logic level. The voltages for input high level should not

exceed 3.0 V. Supported baud rates are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600,

115200, 230400, 460800, 921600 bit/s, and the default rate is 115200 bit/s.

Figure 3-17 shows the signal connection between the module (DCE) and the terminal (DTE).

Figure 3-17 Signal connection between DCE and DTE

The hardware flow control of the WM620 module is disabled by default. Use AT+IFC=2,2 to enable the

hardware flow control function and disable it by running AT+IFC=0,0. The setting will not be saved after

the module is shut down. For more details about the commands, see Neo_WM620 WCDMA Module AT

Command Set.

The hardware flow control is implemented by AT commands together with CTS. After using the AT

commands to enable the hardware flow control function, set CTS low level so that the module can

communicate via UART port. If the CTS pin is set to high level, the UART port cannot

communicate.

Leave CTS and RTS not connected if the hardware flow control function is not required.

Figure 3-19 shows the circuit between MCU TXD and RXD/TXD of the module. In the circuit, MCU_V

supplies 5 V.

Avoid spark or fault on UART during the power-on procedure of the module.

Do not send any data to UART within 5 seconds after the module is turned on.

3.6 Sleep Mode The sleep mode of WM620 is controlled in two ways: UART and USB. The module can receive voice and

SMS message in sleep mode controlled by UART or USB. Upon receiving SMS messages, voice, or data,

Page 30: WM620 Hardware User Guide - wless.ru

WM620 Hardware User Guide

Copyright © Neoway Technology Co., Ltd 23

the module is woken up automatically. Then users can execute AT commands and the module will enter

the sleep mode after the service is end.

3.6.1 UART Control

If the module (DCE) communicate with DTE via UART, connect them as shown in Figure 3-20 to control

the sleep mode. SLEEP_IN controls the status of the sleep mode and can be used to wake up the module

from the sleep mode.

Figure 3-20 Sleep mode controlled by UART

When the V_BUS pin of USB is not connected, send AT+ENPWRSAVE=0 via UART to allow the

module to enter the sleep mode. If the SLEEP_IN pin is set to low level, the module enters sleep mode;

if SLEEP_IN is set to high level, the module is woken up.

To disable the sleep mode, execute AT+ENPWRSAVE=1. Then, the module will never enter the

sleep mode.

The response takes 1.5s when the module is standby after registering to the network. The response

time is 3.5s if there is no data service after the module sets up a TCP connection.

3.6.2 USB Control

If the module (DCE) communicates with DTE via USB port, the following two methods are

recommended to bring the module into the sleep mode.

1. When the DTE supports the Suspend state of USB ports, use the design in Figure 3-21.

2. When the DTE does not support the Suspend state of USB ports, adopt the design in Figure 3-22.

Figure 3-22 Sleep mode controlled by USB (b)

Send AT+ENPWRSAVE=0 via USB to allow the module to enter the sleep mode.

The DTE controls the sleep mode of the module by controlling the power supply via GPIO. If the

power supply is switched off, the module enters the sleep mode; if the power supply is on, the

module will be woken up.

The response takes 6.0s when the module is standby after registering to the network. The response

time is 6.0s if there is no data service after the module sets up a TCP connection.

The module can receives voice, SMS, and other messages in the sleep mode enabled by UART and USB.

It wakes up automatically upon receiving SMS, voice, or data. Then send AT commands. The module

enters the sleep mode again after all services are over.

3.9 RF Interface A 50 Ω antenna is required. VSWR ranges from 1.1 to 1.5. The antenna should be well matched to

achieve best performance. It should be installed far away from high speed logic circuits, DC/DC power, or

any other strong disturbing sources.

For multiple-layer PCB, the trace between the antenna pad of module and the antenna connector, should

have a 50 Ω characteristic impedance, and be as short as possible. The trace should be surrounded by

ground copper. Dig plenty of via holes to connect this ground copper to main ground plane.

If the trace between the module and connector has to be longer, or built-in antenna is used, a π-type

matching circuit should be added, as shown in Figure 3-27. The types and values of C1, L1, and L2

should be verified by test using network analyzer instrument. If the characteristic impedance is well

matched, and VSWR requirement is met, just use a 0 Ω resistor for C1 and leave L1, L2 un-installed.

Avoid any other traces crossing the antenna trace on neighboring layer.

Figure 3-27 Reference design for antenna interface

On two-layer boards which cannot control impedance properly, the RF route should be as short and

smooth as possible and at a width of 0.8 mm to 1.0 mm; the RF is 1 mm away from the ground.

Figure 3-28 shows a two-layer board application. The RF is connected to GSC RF connector through

traces on PCB, which is connected to the antenna via cable.

7 Mounting the Module onto the Application Board WM620 is compatible with industrial standard reflow profile for lead-free SMT process.

The reflow profile is process dependent, so the following recommendation is just a start point guideline:

Only one flow is supported.

Quality of the solder joint depends on the solder volume. Minimum of 0.15mm stencil thickness is

recommended.

Use bigger aperture size of the stencil than actual pad size.

Use a low-residue, no-clean type solder paste.

8 Package WM620 modules are packaged in sealed bags on delivery to guarantee a long shelf life. Follow the same

package method again in case of opened for any reasons.

If the module is exposed to air for more than 48 hours at conditions not worse than 30°C/60% RH, bake it

at a temperature higher than 90 degree for more than 12 hours before SMT. Or, if the indication card

shows humidity greater than 20%, the baking procedure is also required. Do not bake modules with the

package tray directly.
