Software migration
A.2.1
Software migration from LISA-U1 series to LISA-U2 series modules
Software migration from LISA-U1 to LISA-U2 series cellular modules is a straight-forward procedure.
Nevertheless, there are some differences to be considered with firmware versions. Like its
predecessors, the LISA-U2 series cellular module supports AT commands according to 3GPP
standards: TS 27.007
, TS 27.005
and the u-blox AT command extension.
Backward compatibility has been maintained as far as possible.

Hardware migration
A.3.1
Hardware migration from LISA-U1 series to LISA-U2 series modules
LISA-U2 series modules have been designed with backward compatibility in mind, but some minor
differences were unavoidable. These minor differences will however not be relevant for the majority of
the LISA-U1 series designs.
A clean and stable supply is required by LISA-U2 as for the LISA-U1 series: low ripple and low voltage
drop must be guaranteed at the
VCC
pins. The voltage provided must be within the normal operating
range limits to allow module switch-on and must be above the minimum limit of the extended
operating range to avoid module switch-off. Consider that there are large current spikes in connected
mode when a GSM call is enabled.
LISA-U2 series provide wider
VCC
input voltage range compared to LISA-U1 series.
The
ANT
pin has 50
Ω
nominal characteristic impedance and must be connected to the antenna
through a 50
Ω
transmission line to allow transmission and reception of radio frequency (RF) signals
in the 2G and 3G operating bands. The recommendations of the antenna producer for correct
installation and deployment (PCB layout and matching circuitry) must be followed.
The antenna and the whole RF circuit must provide optimal radiating characteristics on the entire
supported bands: note that LISA-U2 supports different 3G bands in comparison to LISA-U1 series
modules.
An external application circuit can be implemented on the application device integrating LISA-U2
series modules to satisfy ESD immunity test requirements at the antenna interface, as described in
in section
. The same application circuit is not applicable for LISA-U1
series.
LISA-U230 modules provide the RF antenna input for Rx diversity on the pin 74 (named
ANT_DIV
): it
has an impedance of 50
Ω
. The same pad is a reserved pin on LISA-U1 series and on the other LISA-
U2 series modules.
Analog audio interfaces are not supported by LISA-U2 series modules, but a second 4-wire I2S digital
audio interface is provided instead of the 4 analog audio pins. The same 4 pins can be configured as
GPIO on LISA-U2 series modules.
Analog audio can be provided with an external audio codec connected to LISA-U2 series modules,
implementing the application circuit described in
. An external audio codec can be connected
to the I2S digital audio interface of LISA-U1 series modules as shown in the same application circuit
described in
. In this case, the application processor should properly control the audio codec
by I2C interface and should properly provide clock reference to the audio codec. This circuit allows
migration from LISA-U1 series to LISA-U2 series, providing analog audio with the same application
circuit.
