Table 6: USB interface parameters Signal Name M2 Pin No I/O D+ 3 I/O D- 5 I/O VBUS Note: 9 Comments When using the Pinnacle™ 100 VBUS pin (which is mandatory when USB interface is used), you must externally connect a 4.7uF capacitor to ground. Note: MUST power the rest of Pinnacle™ 100 modem circuitry through the Vin 2.2-5.5V When the USB is used, the lowest power mode supported is Sleep mode.

The HL7800 has an input to connect a Real Time Clock power supply. This pin is used as a back-up power supply for the internal Real Time Clock. The RTC is supported when VIN is available, but a back-up power supply is needed to save date and hour when VIN is switched off.

From Nordic’s nRF52840 Objective Product Specification v1.0: http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/pdf/nRF52840_PS_v1.0.pdf The NFC antenna coil must be the connected differential between the NFC1 and NFC2 pins of the Pinnacle™ 100. Two external capacitors should be used to tune the resonance of the antenna circuit to 13.56 MHz (Figure 4). Figure 4: NFC antenna coil tuning capacitors The required external tuning capacitor value is given by the following equations: An antenna inductance of Lant = 0.
PAGE 24
Note: The Pinnacle™ 100 has two UARTs. The Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) offers fast, full-duplex, asynchronous serial communication with builtin flow control support (UART_CTS, UART_RTS) in HW up to one Mbps baud. Parity checking and generation for the ninth data bit are supported. UART_TX, UART_RX, UART_RTS, and UART_CTS form a conventional asynchronous serial data port with handshaking.
PAGE 25
The UART between the HL7800 and NRF52840 consists of the flowing signals: TXD, RXD, CTS, RTS, DTR, DSR, DCD & RI. The signals are available on a non-populated header J2. The Digi-Key Part number: S9014E-06-ND, which is a Sullins Connector Solutions; GRPB061VWVN-RC; CONN HEADER VERT 6POS 1.27MM, that can be solder to the modem to provide access to the UART lines.

PAGE 26
The I2C interface is an alternate function on SIO pins. The two-wire interface can interface a bi-directional wired-OR bus with two lines (SCL, SDA) and has master /slave topology. The interface is capable of clock stretching. Data rates of 100 kbps and 400 kbps are supported. An I2C interface allows multiple masters and slaves to communicate over a shared wired-OR type bus consisting of two lines which normally sit at 1.8V.
PAGE 27
The PWM output signal has a frequency and duty cycle property. Frequency is adjustable (up to 1 MHz) and the duty cycle can be set over a range from 0% to 100%. PWM output signal has a frequency and duty cycle property. PWM output is generated using dedicated hardware in the chipset. There is a trade-off between PWM output frequency and resolution. For example: ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ PWM output frequency of 500 kHz (2 uS) results in resolution of 1:2. PWM output frequency of 100 kHz (10 uS) results in resolution of 1:10.

We highly recommend that you place the SWD header to handle future Pinnacle™ 100 modem firmware upgrades. You MUST wire out the SWD interface on your host design (see Figure 6, Required Signals SWDIO, SWDCLK, 1V8, & GND). The SWO signal (SIO_32. M2.60) is a Trace output (called SWO, Serial Wire Output) and is not necessary for programming Pinnacle™ 100 over the SWD interface. nRESET_BLE is not necessary for programming Pinnacle™ 100 over the SWD interface.

▪ SWD This is interface is used to load firmware. Laird Connectivity recommends you use SWD (2-wire interface) to handle future Pinnacle™ 100 modem firmware upgrades. You MUST wire out the SWD(2-wire interface) on your host design (see Figure 6, where four lines should be wired out, namely SWDIO, SWDCLK, GND and VCC). ▪ UART Required for modem communication and HL7800 communication. ▪ UART_RX and UART_CTS SIO_08 (alternative function UART_RX) is an input, set with internal weak pull-up (in firmware).
PAGE 31
▪ ▪ Place GND vias close to modem GND pads as possible. Unused PCB area on surface layer can flooded with copper but place GND vias regularly to connect the copper flood to the inner GND plane. If GND flood copper is on the bottom of the modem, then connect it with GND vias to the inner GND plane. Route traces to avoid noise being picked up on VIN, 1V8, VBUS supply and AIN (analogue) and SIO (digital) traces. ▪ ▪ 453-00010 has an integrated PCB trace antenna and its performance is sensitive to host PCB.

The PinnacleTM 100 modem is connected to a host board using an TE Connectivity 2199230-4, 67 Position Female M.2 connector. The PinnacleTM 100 uses a custom pin out and does not follow the M2 standard pin out. The modem also requires two PEM threaded standoffs and two screws to hold the modem. A PCB footprint is providing the reference dimension of the connector to stand-off distances, as well as, the distance from PCB board edge.
