1.2.3 GPS
yHigh-sensitivity GPS that integrated in Qualcomm gpsOne solution.
yHigh availability that is enabled by using both satellite and network information.
yThe GPS RF path is shared with the UMTS Receive Diversity RF path. When the GPS
functionality is enabled, the UMTS Receive Diversity will be disabled.
1.2.4 Baseband Functionality
The M250 module interfaces with host device through PCI Express Mini Card interface. The
interface equips with USB2.0 interface, USIM interface, LED control signal, Wake# signal to request
host device return from sleep/suspended state, and W_Disable# signal to disable radio operation.
There are several GPIO pins (2.6V compatible) reserved for customized applications, please contact
BandRich for discussion. Besides the above mentioned interfaces, M250V also provides PCM
interfaces reserved for voice applications. The M250-LC features low power consumption but
requires higher input voltage than PCI standard.
1.2.5 Software Functionality
M250 module series is supplied with device driver of Microsoft Windows Vista 32/64, Windows XP
SP2 above, Windows 2000 SP4 above, Mac OSX 10.4 above, and Linux Fedora 8, Unbuntu 7, Open
SuSE 10.

1.4 Network LED indicate device
The Network LED indicated device is ground-referenced current sink. The host drives the device to
provide a current path and an appropriate voltage for LED at PIN 42 of M250 module. Figure 2-2
shows the block diagram of the current drivers. Table 2-3 describes the LED output characteristics in
different states.

USB Interface
M250, M250V and M250-LC module are compliant with USB2.0 in all three modes (Low speed, Full
speed, and high speed). When two devices are connected via a USB interface, one of the devices must
act as a host, and the other device must act as a peripheral. The host is responsible for initiating and
controlling traffic on the bus. For example, the USB specification requires PCs to act as hosts, and
other devices such as M250 to act as devices.
Figure 1-5 USB Interface
1.5 USIM Interface
The universal subscriber identification module (USIM) is a smart card for UMTS/GSM cellular
applications. The USIM provides the required subscription information to allow the mobile equipment
to attach to a GSM or UMTS network. The USIM also provides the subscriber's verification
procedures as well as authentication methods for network authentication during the network
registration procedures. Upon power-up or after a soft-reset, the clock and data lines to the USIM will
be active through the initialization process. Figure 2-3 shows the SIM card pin definition. It’s
recommended to implement hardware USIM detection mechanism or complete avoiding USIM
hot-plug through mechanical design. The reference design for hardware USIM detection is provided
in the “Application Note for BandLuxe Module USIM Detection Recommendation”.
