Design guide
The RUIM signals are connected to the Mini PCI Express card connector (the card
edge connector) and pass through an EMI filtering and ESD protection circuit on the
module board before entering the EM660 processor. There is also an EMI filtering
and ESD protection circuit between UIM card interface and Mini PCI interface on the
user’s board.
1. Power supply
The UIM interface is powered by an LDO regulator. The default value of this regulator
is 2.85 V. The power of the regulator is programmable in the range of 1.5 V to 3.05 V
and is expected to be set to 2.85 V or 1.8 V.
2. Modem signals
After a power-on or reset, the RUIM signals are activated to detect if a UIM card is
present and to initialize it if it exists. Once a card has been detected and initialized,
the interface is always on. However, the clock signal is only activated when data is
actually being transferred. The RUIM signals from the MSM are connected to the
level translators and then to the Mini Card host connector.
These levels exceed those required in ISO/IEC 7816-3.
3. ESD protection
Since the UIM is a CMOS device, ESD protection devices should be placed near to
the UIM connector to provide protection. In addition, all the UIM interface signals
should be bypassed with a 33 pF capacitor.
4. Routing recommendations
The UIM interface signals consist of four signals that are Vcc, RST, CLK, and IO (Vpp
is also connected but not used in many applications). Due to the relatively low clock
frequencies involved, the concern is not the degradation of the UIM signals
themselves. The main concern is routing of the UIM interface signals through areas
considered to be of high risk for RF noise coupling (crosstalk and RF contamination)
which can desensitize the radio circuitry. The general guidelines that should be
followed are listed as follows:
l It is recommended that these signals should be routed over a contiguous ground
plane.
l UIM interface signals should not be routed near high transient signals (power
supply chokes and DC/DC switching FETs).
l Avoid routing of these signals near output connectors.
l Keep UIM interface signals isolated from other signals. 2x width spacing (1.5x
min) between UIM interface signals and all other signal routing is recommended.

3.2.5W_DISABLE# Signal
The W_DISABLE# signal is provided to allow users to disable wireless
communications add-in cards. When theW_DISABLE# signal is asserted, all radios
should be disabled.When the W_DISABLE# signal is not asserted, the radio may
transmit if not disabled by other means such as software.
The W_DISABLE# signal is an active low signal with internal 100 kΩ pull-up resistor
that shall disable radio operation when being asserted (driven low) by the system.
Due to the potential of a software disable state, the combination of the software state
andW_DISABLE# assertion state must be determined before the normal operation is
resumed. Table 3-8 lists this requirement on the function of W_DISABLE# and the
software control setting. For example, the radio RF operation remains disabled
unless both the hardware and software are set to enable the RF features of the card.

1. If we don’t turn off radio manually, radio will be on when module is powered on.
2. End users need turn off radio at some situation like on an airplane.
3. According to Mini-PCIE specification, we must turn off radio through hardware or software.
Nearly all PC companies obey this specification.
3.2.6 LED_WWAN# Signal
The LED_WWAN signal of the EM660 can tolerate up to the voltage of 5 V and
absorb the current up to150 mA. According to the given circuit, in order to reduce the
current of the LED, a resistance of 1 kΩ must be placed in series with the LED.

The PERST# signal is de-asserted by the host to indicate that system power sources
are within the specified voltage tolerance and are stable. PERST# can be asserted
by the host when power is switched off and also can be used by the system to force a
hardware reset on the card. However, a hardware reset is not required during normal
operation and may only be used in case of module malfunction.
A hard reset of the module will result in a surprise removal of the module on the USB
controller and cause the operating system to unload the device drivers. This will lead
to a delay before the operating system discovers the device again. To avoid this delay,
the PERST# pin should not be used in normal operation or in standby mode.

Because the PC has other internal antennas such as theWLAN antenna, to ensure
the proper operation of each communication system, requirements on antenna
isolation between different communication systems should be considered. Table 4-8
lists the recommended index of the antenna isolation.

4.3.2 Design Recommendations
Recommendations for Designing the Module Antennas
The design recommendations are as follows:
1. It is recommended that the module antennas are designed at the upper edge,
left edge or right edge of the PC screen. Designing the antenna at the upper
edge is better.
2. When designing the main antenna and the auxiliary antenna, the requirement on
the antenna isolation should be considered (the recommended value is listed in
Table 4-7). Meanwhile, try to keep the distance between the main antenna and
the auxiliary antenna as large as possible for optimizing the space diversity. For
example, you can place the main antenna at the upper left corner of the PC
screen and place the auxiliary antenna at the upper right corner of the PC
screen.
3. You are recommended to design the antenna pattern as the horizontal polarized
omnidirectional pattern that facilitates the reception of strong signals especially
in outdoor environments.
4. Besides the module antennas, a PC has other internal antennas, such as the
WLAN antenna. Therefore, when designing the module antennas, the
requirement on the isolation between module antennas and other PC antennas
should be considered (the recommended value is listed in Table 4-8). Keep
proper distance between antennas if possible. To reduce the interference
between antennas, it is not recommended that an antenna is designed closely
next to another one.
5. Carefully design the metallic components (such as the external frame of the
metallic shell) in and near the antenna area with considering the effects on the
antenna performance (such as whether the frequency offset of the antenna
occurs and whether the antenna pattern is deformed).
Recommendations for Handling the Interference Sources
On a PC, there are various interference sources, such as the LCD, CPU, audio
circuits, and power supply. All the interference sources emit interference signals that
affect the normal operation of the module. For example, the module sensitivity can be
decreased due to interference signals. Therefore, during the design, you need to
consider how to lessen the effects of interference sources on the module. You can

take the following measures: Use an LCD with optimized performance; shield the
LCD interference signals; shield the signal cable of the PC; or design filter circuits.
4.4 Offline Mode
The offline mode can be enabled by the following method:
l Through hardware: The W_DISABLE pin can be used to control the RF circuit.
When the pin is driven to the high level, the RF circuit works; when the pin is
driven to the low level, the RF circuit does not work.

5.4.2 Engineering Tools
Qualcomm has an extensive debugging and tracing toolset available for their
chipsets. Huawei EM660 is compatible with these tools from Qualcomm, such as
QXDM, QPST, and QCAT.
5.4.3 Debugging Board
I. Functions and Usage of the Debugging board
The debugging board developed by Huawei is an auxiliary board that is used to
debug the EM660.When the debugging board is used, you can connect the module
to a PC through a USB cable.When the module works normally, the debugging
functions can be implemented. The debugging board provides multiple interfaces,
such as the USB port, DC power jack, mini PCI-E connector, BTB connector, UIM
card socket, RF connectors, PCM audio interface, and serial ports (including a 4-pin
serial port and a serial port that all pins are led out). The test points of key signals are
led out on the debugging board. In addition, the debugging board is designed with
switches or pins of commonly used signals such as the reset signal and the enable
signal, for converting the working state of the module.
The debugging board can be used to test the performance of the module. Both the
wired connection test (connect the module to the CMU200) and the wireless
connection test (connect the module to the antennas) can be implemented. The
signal points can also be tested when you maintain and repair the module.

IV. Installation of the Debugging board
l Connect the devices and set up the test environment according to Figure 5-11 or
Figure 5-12. Then properly connect one end of the module to the mini PCI-E
connector and fix the other end of the module by well locking the connector latch.
Insert the UIM card into the UIM card socket. Then connect the debugging board
to the PC through a USB cable. You can connect the USB cable only when the
module is properly connected to the mini PCI-E connector and fixed.
l When performing the wired connection test, connect the CMU200 to the RF
interface of the module by using the module-dedicated RF cable. (For the
connection method, see Figure 5-11.) The compensation for the line loss of the
CMU200 is about 0.7 dBm.
l When performing the wireless connection test, connect the module to the
debugging board by using the RF cable. Then connect the antennas to the RF
interface of the module directly. (For the connection method, see Figure 5-12.)
V. Test Method
After the preceding operations, if the LED below the mini PCI-E connector, you can
infer that the program is running. Then the following functions can be realized by
using the debugging board.
1. Controlling the states and testing the performance in each state
The debugging board is designed with pins. You can control the module state through
the pins. The silkscreen printing is used to label the pins on the debugging board.
You can manually control the power supply, dormant, waking up, and RF functions,
and the reset state through the following pins:
l J101: You can manually control the input enable signal (VEN) of the MP3410
chip. When you connect the jumper header to the right of J101 (VEN is driven to
the low level), the power supply is cut off; when you remove the jumper header,
no impact is caused to the power output.
l J202: You can manually control the signal (WAKEUP_N) that the PC uses to
wake up the module.When you connect the jumper header to the left of J202
(WAKEUP_N is driven to the low level), the module works; when you connect
the jumper header to the right of J202 (driven to high level), the module
hibernates.
l J203: You can manually control the signal (WAKE_NB_N) that the module uses
to activate the PC.When you connect the jumper header to the left of J203
(WAKE_NB_N is driven to the low level), the PC can be activated and the main
power supplies the power; when you connect the jumper header to the right of
J203 (driven to the high level), no impact is caused to the PC.
l J204: You can manually control the module reset signal (PERST_N).When you
connect the jumper header to the right of J204 (PERST_N is driven to the low
level), the module is reset; when you remove the jumper header, the module
works normally.
l J205: You can manually control the signal (W_DISABLE_N) for disabling the RF
function of the module.When you connect the jumper header to the left of J205
(W_DISABLE_N is driven to the low level), the RF function of the module is
disabled and the module enters the offline mode; when you connect the jumper
header to the right of J205 (driven to the high level), the RF function of the
module is enabled.

Though controlling the module states manually, you can test the performance and
parameter in each state by using the CMU200 or other matching software.
2. Testing the key signals
On the debugging board, the test points of all signification signals are led out for
testing. Figure 5-13 shows positions of the test points.
