Power Supply Inputs

ALT1210MOD-VZ-01 User Module Rev 1.0
Altair Semiconductor Proprietary and Confidential 12
4. Operational Guidelines
4.1. Power Supplies Considerations
The ALT1210MOD-VZ-01 has 4 seperated power supply inputs in order to allow max
flexibility to the developers at the application level, to design their products based
on their unique requirements or tradeoffs such as cost, size or power consumption.
4.1.1. VBAT (pins #15,#16 and #70)
This is the main power supply to the integrated PMIC that produces all required
supplies for the system. The allowed range for this supply is 3.4 to 4.2V.
It is designed to be connected directly to a Li-ion battery for the most simple
devices, but can also be supplied from an external supply if the battery range is not
in compatible to the VBAT allowed range or if further power optimization is
required.
4.1.2. VPA (pins #46, #99)
This is a dedicated power supply for the RF PAs output stage. This supply max
voltage can be 4.3V. The min voltage required in order to meet the TX conformance
requirements (mainly ACLR and SEM) at the max TX output power (23dbm) is 3.0V.
There are several options to supply the RF PAs inside the module.
For simple applications wishing to optimize BOM cost or size (at the expense of
power consumption), it is possible to supply this rail directly from the battery (Host
needs to disable the Modem when the battery voltage drops towards 3.0V).
In applications wishing to optimize the power consumption (at the expense of BOM
cost) it is possible to use an external DCDC converter (buck or buck-boost
depending on the battery range) to supply the PAs.
It is very important to make sure this DCDC has a rating of more than 600mA output
current, have an enable pin and is configured by default to 3.0V or higher.
The modem uses “FEM_CTRL2” pin#31 to enable the DCDC only during actual TX
periods to reduce as much as possible power consumption.
4.1.3. 1V8_IO_IN (pin #61)
This is a dedicated power supply for the digital IOs interface. This is usually supplied
from the same supply powering the host IOs. The allowed range for this supply is
1.71 to 1.89V.
4.1.4. VDD_RET_IN (pin #6)
This is a dedicated power supply for the DDR memory inside the module. The
allowed range for this supply is 1.71 to 1.89V.
There are two options to supply the DDR.
The first one is using the integrated LDO output (“VO18R_OUT”pin #62) for that.
This also requires connecting “RETLE_N_OUT” pin #21 to “RETLE_N_IN” pin #76,
this configuration uses the relevant output control to put the DDR in retention state
when the modem enters lite hibernation state. The advantage of this configuration

ALT1210MOD-VZ-01 User Module Rev 1.0
Altair Semiconductor Proprietary and Confidential 13
is that it does not require an external power supply for the saving possibly size and
BOM cost on the application level.
The second option is using an external supply. The motivation is to allow shutting
down additional circuits inside the Module in order to achieve an even lower floor
power consumption in lite hibernation mode (~150uA instead of ~250uA). In order
for this to be possible you should use an already available supply in the application
board or add a dedicated low quiescent DCDC converter for this specific use.

ALT1210MOD-VZ-01 User Module Rev 1.0
Altair Semiconductor Proprietary and Confidential 14
4.1.5. General Power Related Guidelines
For wearable or battery sensitive IOT devices it is recommended to have the ability
to completely disconnect all supplies to the module (controlled by the external
host) to eliminate any leakage when the modem is not used and therefore
optimizing battery life time.
See below a diagram of a typical application aiming to optimize battery lifetime.

It requires additional supplies on application board, but allows shutting down the
modem completely when not needed, therefore reducing the power consumption
to minimum.
A simpler power supply network maybe used that only uses a single supply on the
application board, but has higher power consumption due to leakage and efficiency
losses.
See below a diagram of such system.

4.2. Power up and Power Down Sequences
The ALT1210MOD-VZ-01 module has a “Shutdown” control input (pin #81), that
actually shutdowns the integrated supplies inside the module when asserted high.
The proper power up sequence would be:
•Shutdown pin is kept high (to prevent the system to boot up before the DDR
voltage is available)
•1.8V_IO_IN and VDD_RET_IN should be applied (1.8V_IN should be
available before applying any external signal to the module pins (not
including the shutdown pin)
•VBAT should be applied
•VPA is applied (if it is not controlled by the modem itself)
•Shutdown pin is set low
This Flow ensures that all power supplies are stable before the shutdown pin is set
low and the system boots up.
The proper power down sequence would be the opposite:
•Shutdown pin is set high (shutting the modem internal supplies and
modem)
•VPA shutdown (if it is not controlled by the modem itself)
•VBAT is shut down
•1.8V_IO_IN and VDD_RET_IN are shut down
4.3. Specific Interfaces Guidelines
The module has multiple interfaces allowing it to be used for a very wide variety of
applications. The following sections provide some detailed explanation on how to
connect and use these interfaces.
4.3.1. RF (Pin #36)
The ALT1210MOD-VZ-01 has a single RX/TX antenna pad. This pad should be
connected to the device antenna (dual band 4,13 antenna) through a 50ohm
impedance trace.
It is very important to keep this trace as short as possible to reduce extra loss and
away from any noisy circuits on the application board to avoid any degradation in
the module sensitivity performance.

ALT1210MOD-VZ-01 User Module Rev 1.0
Altair Semiconductor Proprietary and Confidential 16
4.3.2. Host Interface (Pins #27 and #79)
This Interface allows both the Host and the modem to enter their power
consumption savings states whenever possible, in order to optimize power
consumption. The idea is to have a simple interface allowing the host and modem
to wake each other up when required and to acknowledge once ready.
Due to the GPIOs quantity limitation in most Host processors this simple interface
only uses two lines.
For a more detailed explanation on this interface implementation please check
“Altair_SW_219_Rev2_host_interface_HL_design” application note.
4.3.3. UIM Interface (Pins #4, #59, #60, #5 and #7)
This Interface allows the use of an external 1.8V sim card on the application board.
The external SIM is powered from an internal 1.8V regulator (VSIM (pin# 7).
Please note the modem only supports 1.8V SIM/eSIM cards and requires the use of
external pull up/down resistors to maintain the polarity of the SIM_CLK line for
eSIM devices.
Regular SIM devices may be used externally to the module, but since all modem
digital IOs are not maintained during hibernation states, if there is a need to
maintain the SIM ON during modem hibernation states, it is necessary to add an
external latch to keep the UIM_CLK value.
4.3.4. USB Interface (Pins #13 and #14)
The ALT1210MOD-VZ-01 module also supports USB 2.0 interface (primarily used
for production and debug purposes due to the extra power consumption).
The USB interface requires proper SW drivers. For more information on the proper
drivers to be used please contact Altair application team.
4.3.5. UART1 (Pins #11, #65, #10, #64 and optional #80, #26, #82, #25)
The UART1 interface is a 1mbps UART interface. It can be used as a two pin
interface, 4 pin interface or even 8 pin interface.
4.3.6. UART2 (Pins #8 and #9)
The UART2 interface is a 1mbps UART interface. It can be used only as a simple two
pin interface.
4.3.7. I2C (Pins #19 and #73)
The ALT1210MOD-VZ-01 module can also operate as the Master of an I2C bus to
control external devices. These two signals require external 10k ohm pull-up
resistors to 1V8_IO_IN rail.

4.3.8. Serial Flash Interface (Pins #17, #1, #3, #2, #57, #58 and #56)
The ALT1210MOD-VZ-01 module has an internal small flash memory to store the
calibration and configuration files. The actual firmware is loaded from an external
Flash located on the application board. The external and interna flash devices share
the same interface bus, but have separated SF_nCSx lines. The boot is done from
the external Flash controlled by SF_nCS1. Both the external and internal flash
devices are powered by the internal regulator FLASH_1V8_OUT (Pin #17).
4.3.9. SAR_VAINPx (Pins #83, #29, #84 and #30)
The ALT1210MOD-VZ-01 has 4 ADC converters to measure external signals. The
readings can be done by AT command or from the application layer.
4.3.10. SPI Master (Pins #107, #108, #54, #55 and #63)
This is a 4 wire bus, with two chip select lines in order to allow the module to be
able to control two separate slave devices.
4.3.11. SPI Slave (Pins #66, #68, #69, #12 and #67)
This is the primary interface to the host. The Host is the Master on the bus.
4.3.12. PCM (Pins #53, #52, #105, and #106)
This is an AUDIO interface to be connected to voice hub or codec devices in order
to enable voice enbled devices. Please contact Altair application team for specific
requirements and availability of such options.
4.3.13. GPIOs
Digital IOs can be used by the application layer as general purpose IOs. Please see
section 3.3 or contact Altair Application team for more information on how to use
these pins for different purposes.

5. Regulatory Compliance
5.1.1. FCC
Please notice that if the FCC identification number is not visible when the module
is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the
module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This
exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains FCC ID: 2AN5Z-
001R1” any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used.
Manual Information to the End User:
1. The ALT1210MOD-VZ-01 module is limited to OEM installation ONLY.
2. The OEM integrator should provide a user manual that should clearly indicate
the operating requirements and user guidelines.
3. The OEM is responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual
instruction to remove or install the module.
4. This device complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and it should be installed and operated with a
minimum distance of 5.3 cm between the radiator and an extremity (such as
an arm) or 7.9 cm between the radiator and the body. If an end product
incorporates this module in a configuration where it would be closer to an
extremity or the body (a portable/wearable device) then SAR testing would be
required. The integrator is responsible for ensuring compliance in the host,
which could involve power reduction control.
5. This transmitter module has not been evaluated for simultaneous operation
with other transmitters. In a multi-transmitter integration scenario, an
evaluation must be performed to ensure RF Exposure compliance. The
integrator is responsible for ensuring compliance in the host.
