SIEMENS wireless modules, namely, TC35i. Information provided here is based on official technical manuals and released specifications for TC35 and TC35i. The naming conventions used in this document follow those of source documentation. The authors presume the readers are already familiar with the contents of those manuals.
TC35i: Migration from TC35 to TC35i P R E L I M I N A R Y 3 Feature migration Feature comparison for both modules is introduced in the table below. Only main specifications are listed. General description Table 3-1: General description a)
RTS/CTS hardware handshake and software XON/XOFF flow control. Software update via RS232 or SIM interface Certification and standards Both TC35 and TC35i comply to the same directives and standards. For further information, please consult the HW manual. TC35_TC35i_MIG_01_V01.01 29.1.2003 Page 8 of 34...
All features, except RF, are available through common host application interface. Introduction TC35i was intended as a "feature-superset" successor to TC35. It is super-slim, single-side mounted, compact, dual-band GSM OEM module for integration into industrial or mobile devices. TC35i incorporates all the TC35 HW features with following additional features: æ...
P R E L I M I N A R Y Operating Modes Various operating modes for TC35 and TC35i modules are listed in the table below. TC35i module supports four additional sleep modes compared to TC35. For further details please...
P R E L I M I N A R Y Interface/connectors comparison TC35i/TC35 TC35 and TC35i are equipped with a 40-pin 0.5mm pitch ZIF connector that connects to the cellular application platform. The mentioned ZIF connector is completely the same for both devices.
Power Supply General 4.4.1 TC35 and TC35i need to connect the power supply to the ZIF connector (5 pins each V BATT+ and GND). Power supply has to be a single voltage source at BATT+. Power Supply ASIC handles all the key functions for supplying power.
TC35 and TC35i are fully identical regarding the power up/down scenario with the following exception: To actually turn off the TC35i, the emergency shutdown line has to be driven to ground for ≥ 3.2s. The TC35 emergency shutdown line needs to be driven to ground for ≥ 3.5s For further information please consult the HW manual for TC35 and TC35i.
Not Possible (UART disabled) * TC35i supports SLEEP modes 0, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Different events or commands cause a wake-up from a SLEEP mode. The detailed descriptions of these modes can be found in respective HID documents. Battery pack 4.4.4...
TC35 and TC35i without logging to the GSM network. On the TC35i board a serial resistor is placed next to the VDDLP line in order to limit the input current of an empty capacitor. This eliminates the need of adding a resistor as required in applications based on the earlier TC35 module.
Compared to TC35 module that supports a fixed local character framing format between TA and TE, the new TC35i device offers various character framing formats specified in the next table. For further information please consult the AT command migration part of the document or the TC35i at command specification.
4.7.3 General 4.7.3.1 Both devices TC35 and TC35i use a GSC connector to establish the RF connection to the host application. The table below shows a RF interface overview for each device. Table 4-10: RF interface RF interface - general...
ESD please consult the actual specification Mechanical Dimensions TC35 and TC35i provide the same type of connectors and mounting holes on the board. The position of mounting holes is identical as with TC35, as well as the order of external connectors.
In extreme conditions, you run the risk of short-circuit if the cover was damaged or distorted due to pressure. Furthermore, the covers must not be used to apply any solder joints. For snap-in concept please be aware that the TC35i PCB is thinner then the TC35 TC35_TC35i_MIG_01_V01.01 29.1.2003...
