1 Functional description

1.1 Overview The TOBY-L1 series comprises LTE-only modules in the very small LGA form-factor (35.6 x 24.8 x 2.6 mm) that are easy to integrate in compact designs. The TOBY-L1 series modules support two LTE-FDD bands.

LTE-only modules offer cost advantages compared to multi-mode (LTE/3G/2G) modules and are optimized for applications using only LTE networks. Additionally, the TOBY-L1 series modules are form-factor compatible with the popular u-blox wireless module families: this allows customers to take the maximum advantage of their hardware and software investments, and provides very short time-to-market.

The modules are dedicated for data transfer, supporting a high-speed USB 2.0 interface. With LTE Category 3 data rates of 100 Mb/s (downlink) and 50 Mb/s (uplink), the modules are ideal for applications requiring the highest data-rates and high-speed internet access. TOBY-L1 series modules are the perfect choice for consumer fixed-wireless terminals, mobile routers and gateways, and applications requiring video streaming. They are also optimally suited for industrial (M2M) applications, such as remote access to video cameras, digital signage, telehealth, security and surveillance systems.

2 Interfaces

2.1 Power Management

2.1.1 Module supply input (VCC)

TOBY-L1 series modules must be supplied through the VCC pins by a DC power supply. Voltage must be stable, because during operation the current drawn from VCC can vary significantly, based on the power consumption profile of the LTE system (described in the TOBY-L1 / MPCI-L1 Series System Integration Manual [4]).

2.1.2 RTC supply output (V_BCKP)

When VCC voltage is within the valid operating range, the internal Power Management Unit (PMU) supplies the Real Time Clock (RTC) and the same supply voltage is available on V_BCKP pin.

2.1.3 Digital I/O interfaces supply output (V_INT)

TOBY-L1 series modules provide an internally generated supply rail 1.8 V output for external interfaces (V_INT). This can be used in place of an external discrete regulator.

2.2 RF antenna interfaces The modules have two RF pads with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω. The primary antenna pin (ANT1) supports both Tx and Rx, providing the main antenna interface, while the secondary antenna pin (ANT2) supports Rx only for the MIMO 2x2 configuration.

2.3 System functions

2.3.1 Module power-on (PWR_ON)

TOBY-L1 series can be switched on by:

• Forcing to the low level the PWR_ON pin, normally high with external pull-up, for a valid time period (refer to section 4.2.5), when the applied VCC voltage is within the valid operating range.

• Alternately, the PWR_ON pin can be forced to the low level before VCC has been applied and then held low for a valid time period (refer to section 4.2.5) after VCC has been applied.

The PWR_ON pin requires an external pull-up resistor to set its value to logic high and may not be left floating. The line should be driven by open drain, open collector or contact s witch.

2.3.2 Module power-off

TOBY-L1 series can be switched off by:

• AT+CPWROFF command (see TOBY-L1 / MPCI-L1 Series AT Commands Manual [3]). The current parameter settings are saved in the module’s non-vola tile memory and a proper network detach is performed.

An abrupt shutdown occurs on TOBY-L1 series modules when a low level is applied on the RESET_N pin, which is normally set high by internal pull-up, for a valid time period (see section 4.2.6). The current parameter settings are not saved in the module’s non-volatile memory and proper network detach is not performed. The line should be driven by open drain, open collector or contact switch.

UBX-13000868 - R06 Early Production Information Interfaces

of 29


An abrupt under-voltage shutdown occurs on TOBY-L1 series modules when the VCC supply is removed, but in this case it is not possible to perform the storing of the current parameter settings in the module’s non-volatile memory as well as the proper network detach.

2.3.3 Module reset

TOBY-L1 series can be reset (rebooted) by:

• AT+CFUN command (see TOBY-L1 / MPCI-L1 Series AT Commands Manual [3]). This causes an “internal” or “software” reset of the module. The current parameter settings are saved in the module’s non-volatile memory and a proper network detach is performed.

An abrupt “external” or “hardware” reset occurs when a low level is applied to the RESET_N pin, which is normally set high by internal pull-up, for a valid time period (see section 4.2.6) and then forcing to the low level the PWR_ON pin, normally high with external pull-up, for a valid time period (see section 4.2.5). In this case, the current parameter settings are not saved in the module’s non-volatile memory and a proper network detach is not performed. The lines should be driven by open drain, open collector or contact switch.

2.4 SIM interface A SIM interface is provided on the VSIM, SIM_IO, SIM_CLK, SIM_RST pads: the high-speed SIM/ME interface is implemented as well as the automatic detection of the required SIM supporting voltage.

Both 1.8 V and 3 V SIM types are supported (1.8 V and 3 V ME). Activation and deactivation with automatic voltage switch from 1.8 V to 3 V is implemented, according to ISO-IEC 7816-3 specifications. The SIM driver supports the PPS procedure for baud-rate selection, according to the values proposed by the SIM card/chip.

2.5 Data communication TOBY-L1 series provides the following serial communication interfaces for concurrent communication via the AT command interface and Traffic Data:

• One high-speed USB 2.0 compliant interface

2.5.1 Universal Serial Bus (USB)

TOBY-L1 series includes a high-speed USB 2.0 compliant interface with maximum throughput of 480 Mb/s. The module itself acts as a USB device and can be connected to any USB host that has the necessary drivers installed. For driver details, refer to the TOBY-L1 / MPCI-L1 Series System Integration Manual [4].

The USB is the main interface for transferring high speed data between TOBY-L1 series and a host processor. USB_D+/USB_D- carry the USB serial data and signaling.

TOBY-L1 modules open two USB CDCs (Communications Device Class):

• Network Adapters : Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device ( Ethernet connection )

• Port : Gadget Serial ( AT commands )


of 29


2.6 GPIO TOBY-L1 series modules provide 6 pins that can be configured as general purpose input/output (GPIO).

The network status indication over the GPIO1 pin is the only function that is supported by the initial firmware release. Check firmware release schedule for possible future GPIOs.

2.6.1 Network Status Indication

The network indication feature can be enabled over the GPIO1 pin through a custom AT command. This is used to indicate the network status: registered home network, registered roaming, data call enabled, no service (for more details refer to the TOBY-L1 / MPCI-L1 Series System Integration Manual [4] and to the TOBY-L1 / MPCI-L1 Series AT commands manual [3] (+UGPIOC).

7.2 Moisture Sensitivity Levels

TOBY-L1 series modules are Moisture Sensitive Devices (MSD) in accordance to the IPC/JEDEC specification.

The Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) relates to the packaging and handling precautions required. TOBY-L1 series modules are rated at MSL level 4. For more information regarding moisture sensitivity levels, labeling, storage and drying see the u-blox Package Information Guide [6].

For MSL standard see IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 (can be downloaded from www.jedec.org).

7.3 Reflow soldering Reflow profiles are to be selected according to u-blox recommendations (see TOBY-L1 / MPCI-L1 Series System Integration Manual [4]).

Failure to observe these recommendations can result in severe damage to the device!

7.4 ESD precautions

TOBY-L1 series modules contain highly sensitive electronic circuitry and are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD). Handling TOBY-L1 series modules without proper ESD protection may destroy or damage them permanently.

TOBY-L1 series modules are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD) and require special ESD precautions typically applied to ESD sensitive components.

Table 5 reports the maximum ESD ratings of the TOBY-L1 series modules.

Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation of any application that incorporates TOBY-L1 series module.

ESD precautions should be implemented on the application board where the module is mounted, as described in the TOBY-L1 / MPCI-L1 Series System Integration Manual [4].

Failure to observe these recommendations can result in severe damage to the device!
