Notice

OEM integrators and installers are instructed that the phrase. This device contains

transmitter FCC ID:

must be placed on the outside of the host.

Warning: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation The radiated output

power of this device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure

limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that

the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio

frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna should

not be less than 20cm during normal operation. The gain of the

antenna for Cellular band must not exceed

dBi.

The gain of the antenna for PCS band must not exceed -3

dBi.

3.2. Functions for Turning On and Off the Module

3.2.1. Turning On the CC864-Dual Module

To turn on the module the ON/OFF Pin must be tied for at least one second, and

then released.

A Few Examples

1) Let's assume you need to drive the ON_OFF pin with a totem pole output of a +3/5

V microcontroller (uP_OUT1):

CC864-DUAL Hardware User Guide

80pppSTzzzzza Rev. 0.4 - dd/mm/yy

2) Let's assume you need to drive the ON_OFF pin directly with an ON/OFF

button:

3.2.2. Turning Off the CC864-Dual Module

You can turn off the device with either a software command or a hardware shutdown

circuit.

When the device is shut down either way, it issues to the network a detach request

with the information that the device is not reachable any more.

Warning: Never disconnect power before the power off procedure is completed. If

you do, this may cause severe damage the module primarily due to the possibility of

memory corruption that renders the module inoperable.

3.2.2.1. Hardware Shutdown

To turn off the CC864-Dual module the ON/OFF Pin must be tied for at least one

second, and then released.

The same circuitry and timing as for power on must be used for be used for powering

off the module.

The device shuts down after you release the ON_OFF Pin.

3.2.2.2. Software Shutdown

Please refer the “Software User Guide” for information on how to shut down the

module using AT-commands.

3.2.3. Hardware Reset

To perform hardware reset and reboot the module, the RESET pin must be tied low

for at least 200 milliseconds, and then released.

CC864-DUAL Hardware User Guide

80pppSTzzzzza Rev. 0.4 - dd/mm/yy

The following figure shows a sample circuit to accomplish this operation:

TIP: A hardware reset circuit should be always implemented on the host board but

the host should use it as an emergency reset procedure only.

Example

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

microcontroller (uP_OUT2):

3.3. Power Supply

The electrical design of the power supply strongly depends on the power source from

which the power is drained. We will discuss the following three common categories:

• +5V input source supply (typically PC internal regulator output)

• +12V input source supply (typically automotive)

• Battery source supply

CC864-DUAL Hardware User Guide

80pppSTzzzzza Rev. 0.4 - dd/mm/yy

3.3.1. +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. .

When using a linear regulator, a proper heat sink may be required in order to

dissipate the heat.

A bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut

the current absorption peaks close to the CC864-Dual module, a 100µF tantalum (or

equivalent) capacitor is suited for this purpose.

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

rated at least 10V.

A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order to protect the

module from power polarity inversion.

A typical example of a linear regulator with 5V input is:

3.3.2. +12V Input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines

The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, and due to the large difference

between the input voltage and the desired output, a linear regulator is not well suited

and should not be used. A switching power supply is preferred because of its better

efficiency with the 2A peak current load drawn by the CC864-Dual module.

When using a switching regulator, a 500 KHz or more switching frequency regulator

is preferable because of its smaller inductor size and faster transient response. This

allows the regulator to respond quickly to current peaks.

CC864-DUAL Hardware User Guide

80pppSTzzzzza Rev. 0.4 - dd/mm/yy

In any case the frequency and switching design selection is related to the application

to be developed due to the fact the switching frequency could also generate EMC

interferences and the application must also take this into account.

For a car PB battery the input voltage can rise up to about 16V and when choosing

components, all components in the power supply must withstand this voltage.

Power supplies for automotive use are complicated and have to take a number of

issues into account, such as: over voltage, reverse polarity, cranking, load dump

booster batteries, forced charging etc

A bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut

the current absorption peaks; a 100µF tantalum (or equivalent) capacitor is suitable

for this purpose.

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

rated at least 10V.

For car applications a spike protection diode must be inserted close to the power

input, in order to clean the supply from spikes and a specific automotive grade

regulator is recommended.

A protection diode (which can be the same diode as in spike protection) must be

inserted close to the power input in order to save the CC864-Dual module from

power polarity inversion.

A typical example of a switching regulator with 12V input is:

3.3.3. Battery Source Power Supply Design Guidelines

The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V and the maximum voltage

allowed is 4.2V, so that a single 3.7V lithium-ion cell battery type is ideal to supply

the power to the module.

Three regular battery cells (Ni/Cd or Ni/MH 3.6V nom. battery types or 4V PB types)

must not be used directly because their maximum voltage can rise over the absolute

maximum voltage for the CC864-Dual module and damage it.
