GSM Interface Module: Product Overview

The GSM Interface Module allows communication between a CPU board and external devices using GSM/GPRS. It is based on the HiLoV2 GSM module and supports sending and receiving SMS as well as making and receiving calls. The module has interfaces for connecting to a CPU board via a 6-pin header and to a PC via a DB9 connector for configuration and testing. It operates at 3.3V supplied either from an external 5V power source or directly from a CPU board.

Board Description

Table 2: Interface between GSM Interface Board and PC through UART


Pin Type Signal Name Description(RS-232 compatible signals)
2 I/O UART_TX Tx Signal from GSM Module goes to Rx of PC
3 I/O UART_RX Tx Signal from PC goes to Rx of GSM Module
8 I/O UART_CTS CTS Signal from GSM Module goes to CTS of PC
27 I/O UART_RTS RTS Signal from PC goes to RTS of GSM Module

Table 1: Interface between CPU board and GSM Interface Board


Pin Type Signal Name Description
1 I/O CTS Clear to Send signal from Module
2 I/O RTS Request To Send signal to Module
3 Power GND Ground Signal
4 I/O TX Data Transmit signal from Module
5 I/O RX Data Receive signal to Module

The board can operate on 5V DC line. Power jack (2.5mm) is provided to draw external 5V from AC to DC
Adapter. The LDO regulator present in the board steps down the voltage to 3.3V, which is the required
power supply for the GSM module.
Two 4 Pin connectors are provide on the board, to draw 5V and 3.3V directly from the main CPU board.
Power
(These connectors can be used during testing or debugging). The power source can be selected based on
the requirement and conditions.
The Power Pins are as follows:

VIN_5V: The input voltage to the GSM board, when it's using an external adapter. You can supply
voltage from CPU board through this pin, or, if supplying voltage via the power jack, access it
through this pin.
VCC_5V: The DC power supply used to power the switching regulator on the board. This is
connected from VIN_5V via a fuse.

VCC_3V3: A 3.3 volt supply generated by the on-board regulator. Maximum current drawn is 3A.This
3.3V can be also supplied from CPU board through the 4 pin power connector.
GND: Ground pins.

Input & Output


The GSM Interface Board has a number of communicating options with CPU board and PC.

The Different Input and Output options are detailed below:

6 Pin Header: The 6 Pin header is used for interfacing with the CPU board. It carries Transmit and
Receive Signals from GSM Module along with Handshaking signals.

Standard DB9: Standard DB9 is provided for PC communication. This can also be used for Software
updating as well as for CPU Board Interface.

Reset Switch: Push button Reset option is provided for Reset of the board externally by the user.

LED: An LED is provided on board to indicate 3.3V is ON.

Communication

The GSM board has a number of facilities for communicating with a computer, CPU board, another GSM
board or other GSM phones. The HiLo module provides UART serial communication, which is available
on digital pins 26 (RX) and 13(TX).These signals are converted to TTL level (5V) and can communicate
with PC through DB9 port. The board can communicate with CPU board through the 6 pin header.

SIM Specification
The board provides the provision to connect the SIM with the GSM module for external communication.
The signals for the management of SIM card are provided by the GSM module. Table 3 describes the pin
details of the SIM connector. To prevent SIM card’s damages, the power supply of the module has to be
turned off before any manipulation on SIM card.

Table 3:SIM card Interface Pin Details


Pin Type Signal Name Description
1 Power VSIM 1.8V generated by the GSM module
2 Input SIM_RST SIM reset, Provided by the GSM module
3 Input SIM_CLK SIM clock provided by the GSM module
4 Power GND SIM Ground
6 I/O SIM_DATA SIM serial data line

The SIM card needs a power supply of 1.8V which is generated by the GSM module and directly
connected to the 1st and 5th pin of SIM connector, which provides the power supply input for SIM card.
