•GPIO

• SL808x provides up to 3 General Purpose I/O.

• All of 1.8V logic.

• Sink/Source up to 8mA.

• Can be chosen for 8-wire UART application.

•SPI

• Upto 26Mb/s.

• Able to be used on SL808xT only via Open AT.

• The same pins can be chosen as part of the 8-wire UART.

• No support of AT commands over this interface as it requires

proprietary lines to enable the bi directional requirement for AT

commands.

• 1V8 interface at upto 4Mbps

• A RS-232 level shifter device is required (assuming 3V3 micro controller).

SL808xT

• Software restriction

• 4 wire UART only

• Control signals not supported, DCD, DSR, DTR and RI

• The USB interface is powered by PMIC integrated in QSC/MDM

6270

• Speed : 480Mbit/s High-Speed transfer rate

• Signals : USB_D+ and USB_D-

• Multi end point implementation.

• This is the recommended interface if application is likely to be

using the 3G for any more than just connectivity. AirPrime

SL808x

• Available with voice enabled units (SL8080/2/4 plus T variants)

• All GSM vocoders

• Enhanced Full Rate (EFR),

• Full Rate (FR).

• WCDMA Adaptive Multirate (AMR) encoders

• MO and MT calling

• Echo cancellation – generic cancellation, no specific certifications, should

consider it to be designed for handsets.

• Digital audio

• Runs in master mode only.

• Supports the following compression, linear (13-bit), A-Law (8-bit) and µ-

Law (8-bit)

• Supports

• 2.048 MHz short frame sync (PCM) operation

• 128 kHz long frame sync (AUX_PCM) operation


Audio

Page

Analog Audio Interface

The SL8080/82/84 supports both a differential analog interface and PCM

digital audio, and allows dynamic run-time selection of the appropriate

interface

Analog signals

• MIC1_P MIC1_N

• SPK_P SPK_N

The module does not provide on-board filtering except for a 0.1µF DC blocking

capacitor on microphone lines (MIC1_P and MIC1_N).

The host device should:

• Provide any necessary bias and signal filters.

• Terminate audio lines with pull-down resistors if the lines will not be used.


Page

GPS is provided on the QC chipset. Main points

• Controlled through AT commands with its own USB endpoint.

• A-GPS service is provided by QC called 1Xtra, around a 40KB file.

• Can be run independent to the 2/3G radio although greatest

performance is achieved when attached to a network.

• Current consumption is a flat 15mA regardless of mode i.e. tracking,

acquisition, etc.

• Active antenna can be used but the SL8 does not supply the bias

current, application design must do this. It will accept upto 5V on the

antenna port.

• GPS should be viewed as the same type that is deployed on mobile

phones with a similar performance. If cutting edge performance is

required it will not be able to compete with latest offerings from GPS

modules.

SL808xx Compatibility between SL6 and SL80xx families

Matthew Lewis

Page

Overall aim is to enable design of a single PCB to give the

2G/3G compatibility. This is easily achievable if the

differences are taken into account. In addition to this we

are able to offer advantages over our competitors.

Pins that are the same across the family are

• USB

• SIM

• 1.8V UART

• PCM

• Analog audio – competitors do not offer this

• Power

• Ground

Other pins are dealt with later in this presentation.

UART

• SL6087 has two UART’s, primary @ 2V8, secondary @1v8.

• SL8xxx, due to be being on a 3G platform has a single UART @1V8.

• SL8 UART has been run out of the SL6 secondary UART pins to

maintain voltage compatibility.

• Competitors offer ONLY 1 single 1V8 UART and hence they have to

implement a level shifter to work with their 3V3 micro.

• Customers can design their 2G application to be 3G compatible and

hence future proof without a level shifter due to the 3V3 tolerance of

the SL6’s primary UART.

Design considerations - UART


Page

While the main antenna comes out of different pads of the

SL6 and SL808x a design can be implemented to select

the line with a 0 ohm resistor on the line as per below.

The BOM of the 2G/3G units are going to be different

anyway so what problem is a 0ohm resistor going to be?
