3.7 Blocking against RF on Interface Lines
To reduce EMI issues there are serial resistors, or capacitors to GND, implemented on the
module for the ignition, emergency restart, and SIM interface lines (cp. Section 2.4). However,
all other signal lines have no EMI measures on the module and there are no blocking measures
at the module’s interface to an external application.
Dependent on the specific application design, it might be useful to implement further EMI mea-
sures on some signal lines at the interface between module and application. These measures
are described below.
There are five possible variants of EMI measures (A-E) that may be implemented between
module and external application depending on the signal line (see Figure 50 and Table 25). Pay
attention not to exceed the maximum input voltages and prevent voltage overshots if using in-
ductive EMC measures.
The maximum value of the serial resistor should be lower than 1k on the signal line. The max-
imum value of the capacitor should be lower than 50pF on the signal line. Please observe the
electrical specification of the module‘s SMT application interface and the external application‘s
interface.

Note: In case the application uses an internal GSM/LTE antenna that is implemented close to
the TX62/TX82 module, Thales strongly recommends sufficient EMI measures, e.g. of type B
or C, for each digital input or output.
