I2C Interface 

3 groups I2C, used for TP, camera, sensor peripherals, etc. 

ADC Interface 

Support  3  ADC  interfaces,used  for  input  voltage  sense,  battery 

temperature detection and general purpose ADC 

Real Time Clock 

Implemented 

Antenna Interface 

MAIN antenna, DRX antenna, GNSS antenna and Wi-Fi/BT antenna 

Physical Characteristics

1) 

Within operation temperature range, the module is 3GPP compliant. 

2)

 Within extended temperature range, the module remains the ability to establish and maintain a voice, 

SMS, data transmission, emergency call, etc. There is no unrecoverable malfunction. There are also no 

effects on radio spectrum and no harm to radio network. Only one or more parameters like Pout might 

reduce in their value and exceed the specified tolerances. When the temperature returns to the normal 

operating temperature levels, the module will meet 3GPP compliant again. 

* means this feature is under development. 

 

The following figure shows a block diagram of SC20 and illustrates the major functional parts.
