SIM802 Hardware Design                                                        

 

2 Product concept

 

Designed for global market, SIM802 module is a complete Quad-Band GSM/GPRS solution that 
is also equipped with SRD RF technology and embedded SIM card IC (optional).The GSM/GPRS 
engine works on frequencies GSM/GPRS 900/1800 MHz and 850/1900MHz, SIM802 series 
features GPRS multi-slot class 10/Class 8 (the default is class 10) capability and supports the 
GPRS coding schemes CS-1, CS-2, CS-3 and CS-4. The SRD RF engine works on 
433/868/915MHz, SRD RF supports the multi-channel choice, transparent date transfer without 
complex user setting.

 

 
The compact design of the SIM802 makes it easy to integrate GSM/GPRS & SRD RF as an 
all-in-one solution. You will save significantly both time and cost for the integration of additional 
hardware components

With a tiny configuration of 33mm x 33mm x 5.2 mm, SIM802 can meet almost all the space 
requirement in your application, such as M2M and mobile data communication system etc.

 

 
The hardware package of 60 pins   

z

 

12 GND Pins and 2 VBAT pins 

z

 

1 Pin is programmable as General Purpose I/O .This gives you the flexibility to develop 
customized applications. 

z

 

Serial port and Debug port can help you easily develop your applications. But they can not 
work at the same time.   

z

 

Two audio channels include two microphone inputs and two speakers’ outputs. This can be 
easily configured by AT command. 

z

 

LCD display interface. 

z

 

Either SIM card interface or embedded SIM card IC is optional. 

z

 

Charge interface. Charge circuit integrated inside the SIM802, it is very suitable for the 
battery power application. 

z

 

GSM RF and SRD RF antenna interface. Customer’s antenna should be located in the 
customer’s mainboard and connect to module’s antenna pad through micro strip line or other 
type RF traces which impendence must be 50

z

 

I

2

C and SPI interfaces for SRD. 

 
The SIM802 is designed with power saving technique, so that the current consumption is as low 
as 6mA in SLEEP mode (BS-PA-MFRMS=5, only GSM sleep mode current consumption). 
 
The SIM802 is integrated with the TCP/IP protocol

Extended TCP/IP AT commands are 

developed for customers to use the TCP/IP protocol easily, which is useful for those data transfer 
applications.
