Notice
OEM integrators and installers are instructed that the phrase. This device contains
transmitter FCC ID: RI7CC864-DUAL 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-2.0 dBi.
The gain of the antenna for PCS band must not exceed -3.0dBi.

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):
1s

CC864-DUAL Hardware User Guide

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.

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
Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A’s. written authorization - All Rights Reserved. Page 18 of 49
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.

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.
