1.7.2
Bluetooth antenna RF interface (ANT_BT)
☞
The Bluetooth functionality is not available in SARA-N2 series modules.
☞
The Bluetooth functionality is not supported by
“
00
”
product version of SARA-N3 series modules.
The
ANT_BT
pin can be left unconnected or it can also be connected to GND.
The
ANT_BT
pin has an impedance of 50
and provides the Bluetooth RF antenna interface of the
SARA-N3 series modules.
1.7.3
Antenna detection interface (ANT_DET)
☞
Antenna detection interface is not supported in the
“
02
”
version of SARA-N2 series modules.
The
ANT_DET
pin is an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) input used to sense the antenna presence
evaluating the resistance from the
ANT
pin to GND by means of an external antenna detection circuit
implemented on the application board. This optional functionality can be managed by dedicated AT
command (for more details see the SARA-N2 / N3 series AT commands manual
1.8
SIM interface
SARA-N2 / N3 series modules provide a high-speed SIM/ME interface on the
VSIM
,
SIM_IO
,
SIM_CLK
and
SIM_RST
pins, which is available to connect an external SIM / UICC.
The SIM interface of the SARA-N2 series modules can operate at 1.8 V (
VSIM
domain), with activation
and deactivation of the SIM interface implemented according to the ISO-IEC 7816-3 specifications.
The SIM interface of the SARA-N3 series modules can operate at 1.8 V and/or 3.0 V voltage (
VSIM
domain), with activation and deactivation of the SIM interface, and automatic 1.8 V / 3.0 V voltage
switch according to the voltage class of the external SIM connected to the module implemented
according to the ISO-IEC 7816-3 specifications.
The
VSIM
supply output of SARA-N2 / N3 series modules provides internal short circuit protection to
limit start-up current and protect the external SIM / UICC to short circuits.
☞
If a 3.0 V SIM is used, the
VCC
voltage shall be inside normal operating range to let the SIM
