Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
You are responsible for ensuring that the host has adequate ESD protection on
digital circuits and antenna ports as described by the following specifications:
• (Operational) RF port (antenna launch and RF connector): IEC-61000-4-2—
Level (Electrostatic Discharge Immunity Test)
• (Non-operational) Host connector interface: JESD22-A114-B +/- 1kV Human
Body Model and JESD22-C101 +/- 125 V Charged Device Model
• MC5728V only: (Non-operational) Host connector interface:
JESD22-A114-B +/- 125V Human Body Model and JESD22-C101 +/- 100 V
Charged Device Model
MC5728V has placeholders for additional ESD devices, for cases where the
device must, per customer requirements, meet the higher Human Body Model
(+/-1kV) ESD rating.
This guide provides specific recommendations where needed, however, the level
of protection required depends on your application.
Note: ESD protection is highly recommended for the USIM connector at the point where
the contacts are exposed, and for any other signals from the host interface that would be
subjected to ESD by the user of the product.
Module power states
Note: The module unit
defaults to the Normal
state when VCC is first
applied in the absence of
W_Disable# control.
The module has four power states:
• Disconnected
No power to the module.
• Off
Power to the module, but the module is powered off.
• Normal
The module is active. Several modes are possible (Receive, Transmit, Sleep,
Shutdown).
• Low power (“airplane mode”)
The module is active, but RF is disabled.
State machines are implemented in the module to monitor the power supply and
operating temperature.
