Table 2: SARA-G3 series GSM/GPRS characteristics summary  
The network automatically configures the channel encoding used by the module, depending on  
conditions and the quality of the radio link between cell phone and base station. If the channel is very  
noisy, the network may use the most robust coding scheme (CS-1) to ensure higher reliability. If the  
channel provides good conditions, the network can use the least robust but fastest coding scheme  
(CS-4) to obtain optimum speed.

according to GSMA IoT Device Connection Efficiency Guidelines [13].  
The feature can be enabled through the +UNFM, +UNFMCONF, +URPM AT  
commands.  
Smart Temperature  
Supervisor  
SARA-G340 /  
SARA-G350  
Constant monitoring of the module board temperature:  
Warning notification when the temperature approaches an upper or lower  
predefined threshold  
Shutdown notified and forced when the temperature value is outside the  
specified range (shutdown suspended in case of an emergency call in  
progress)  
The Smart Temperature Supervisor feature can be enabled or disabled through  
an AT command (see the u-blox AT commands manual [1], +USTS AT command)  
The sensor measures board temperature inside the shields, which can differ  
from ambient temperature.  
Power saving  
All  
The power saving configuration is by default disabled, but it can be configured  
using an AT command. When power saving is enabled, the module automatically  
enters the low power idle-mode whenever possible, reducing current  
consumption.  
During idle-mode, the module processor core runs with the RTC 32 kHz reference  
clock, which is generated by:  
The internal 32 kHz oscillator, in case of SARA-G340 and SARA-G350  
modules  
The 32 kHz signal provided at the EXT32K input pin, in case of SARA-G300  
and SARA-G310 modules  
For more details, see the SARA-G3 / SARA-U2 Series System Integration  
Manual [2] and the u-blox AT commands manual [1], +UPSV AT command.

2 Interfaces  
2.1 Power management  
2.1.1 Module supply input (VCC)  
SARA-G3 modules must be supplied through the three VCC pins by a DC power supply. Voltages must  
be stable: during operation, the current drawn from VCC can vary by some order of magnitude,  
especially due to the surging consumption profile of the GSM system (described in the SARA-G3 /  
SARA-U2 Series System Integration Manual [2]). It is important that the system power supply circuit  
is able to support peak power.  
SARA-G3 modules product versions “02” onwards provide separate supply inputs over the three VCC  
pins:  
VCC pins #52 and #53 represent the supply input for the internal RF power amplifier, demanding  
most of the total current drawn of the module when RF transmission is enabled during a  
voice/data call  
VCC pin #51 represents the supply input for the internal baseband Power Management Unit and  
the internal transceiver, demanding minor part of the total current drawn of the module when RF  
transmission is enabled during a voice/data call  
2.1.2 RTC supply input/output (V_BCKP)  
V_BCKP is the Real Time Clock (RTC) supply of SARA-G3 modules. When VCC voltage is within the  
valid operating range, the internal Power Management Unit (PMU) supplies the RTC and the same  
supply voltage is available on V_BCKP pin. If the VCC voltage is under the minimum operating limit  
(e.g. during not powered mode), the V_BCKP pin can externally supply the RTC.  
2.1.3 Digital I/O interfaces supply output (V_INT)  
SARA-G3 modules provide an internally generated supply rail output for digital interfaces (V_INT).  
This can be used in place of an external discrete regulator to supply pull-up resistors on the DDC  
interface. This optimizes the bill of material for various applications, e.g. with u-blox positioning  
modules operating at 1.8 V.  
2.2 Antenna  
2.2.1 Antenna RF interface (ANT)  
The ANT pin has an impedance of 50 and provides the RF antenna interface of SARA-G3 modules.  
2.2.2 Antenna detection (ANT_DET)  
The ANT_DET pin is an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) input provided only by SARA-G340 and  
SARA-G350 modules to sense the antenna presence (as optional feature), evaluating the resistance  
from the ANT pin to GND by means of an external antenna detection circuit implemented on the  
application board. For more details, see the SARA-G3 / SARA-U2 Series System Integration Manual  
[2] and the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1], +UANTR.

2.3 System functions  
2.3.1 Module power-on (PWR_ON)  
SARA-G3 modules can be switched on in one of the following ways:  
Rising edge on the VCC pin to a valid voltage for module supply, i.e. applying module supply  
Low level on the PWR_ON input pin, i.e. forcing the pin (normally high with external pull-up) to a  
low level for a valid time period (see section 4.2.7). The PWR_ON pin requires an external pull-up  
resistor to set its value to logic high and may not be left floating  
RTC alarm, i.e. pre-programmed scheduled time (see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1],  
AT+CALA)  
SARA-G300 and SARA-G310 cannot be switched on with RTC alarm.  
2.3.2 Module power-off  
SARA-G3 modules can be properly switched off, with storage of current settings and network detach,  
by:  
AT+CPWROFF command  
An abrupt under-voltage shutdown occurs on SARA-G3 modules when the VCC supply drops below  
the extended operating range minimum limit, but in this case it is not possible to perform the storing  
of the current parameter settings in the module’s non-volatile memory as well as the proper network  
detach.  
An over-temperature or an under-temperature shutdown occurs on SARA-G3 modules when the  
temperature measured within the cellular module reaches the dangerous area, if the optional Smart  
Temperature Supervisor feature is enabled and configured by the dedicated AT command. For more  
details, see the SARA-G3 / SARA-U2 Series System Integration Manual [2] and the u-blox AT  
commands manual [1], +USTS AT command.  
2.3.3 Module reset (RESET_N)  
SARA-G3 modules can be properly reset (rebooted), with storage of current parameter settings in the  
module’s non-volatile memory and proper network detach, in this way:  
AT+CFUN command (see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1]). This causes an “internal” or  
“software” reset of the module.  
An abrupt “external” or “hardware” reset occurs when a low level is applied to the RESET_N pin, which  
is normally set high by an internal pull-up, for a valid time period (see section 4.2.8), but in this case it  
is not possible to perform the storing of the current parameter settings as well as the proper network  
detach.  
2.3.4 External 32 kHz signal input (EXT32K)  
SARA-G300 and SARA-G310 provide the EXT32K input pin that must be fed by a proper 32 kHz signal  
to furnish the reference clock for the RTC, allowing very low power idle-mode and RTC functions  
support. See section 4.2.9 for detailed electrical specifications for the 32 kHz signal.  
SARA-G340 and SARA-G350 do not provide the EXT32K input pin. An internal 32 kHz oscillator  
automatically generates the reference clock for the RTC, allowing very low power idle-mode and RTC  
functions support.

Interfaces  
Page 12 of 48  
SARA-G3 series - Data Sheet  
2.3.5 Internal 32 kHz signal output (32K_OUT)  
SARA-G300 and SARA-G310 provide the 32K_OUT output pin which gives a 32 kHz reference signal  
suitable only to feed the EXT32K input pin of SARA-G300 / SARA-G310 modules, furnishing the  
reference clock for the RTC, allowing low power idle-mode and RTC functions support with modules  
switched on.  
SARA-G340 and SARA-G350 do not provide the 32K_OUT output; there is no EXT32K input on these  
modules.  
2.4 SIM  
2.4.1 (U)SIM interface  
A (U)SIM card interface is available via the VSIM, SIM_IO, SIM_CLK, SIM_RST pins of SARA-G3 series  
modules: the high-speed SIM/ME interface is implemented as well as the automatic detection of the  
required SIM supporting voltage.  
Both 1.8 V and 3 V SIM types are supported: activation and deactivation with automatic voltage switch  
from 1.8 V to 3 V are implemented, according to ISO-IEC 7816-3 Specifications. The SIM driver  
supports the PPS procedure for baud-rate selection, according to the values proposed by the SIM  
Card.  
2.4.2 SIM card detection (SIM_DET)  
Not supported by SARA-G300-00S and SARA-G310-00S modules.  
The SIM_DET pin of SARA-G3 modules is a digital input provided to sense the SIM card presence (as  
an optional feature), when it is properly connected to the mechanical switch of the SIM card holder  
(for more details, see the SARA-G3 / SARA-U2 Series System Integration Manual [2]).

4 Electrical specifications  
Stressing the device above one or more of the ratings listed in the Absolute Maximum Rating  
section may cause permanent damage. These are stress ratings only. Operating the module at  
these or at any conditions other than those specified in the Operating Conditions sections  
(chapter 4.2) of the specification should be avoided. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating  
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.  
Operating conditions ranges define those limits within which the functionality of the device is  
guaranteed.  
Electrical characteristics are defined according to the verification on a representative number of  
samples or according to the simulation.  
Where application information is given, it is advisory only and does not form part of the  
specification.

7.3 Reflow soldering  
Reflow profiles are to be selected according to u-blox recommendations (see SARA-G3 / SARA-U2  
Series System Integration Manual [2]).  
Failure to observe these precautions can result in severe damage to the device!  
7.4 ESD precautions  
SARA-G3 series modules contain highly sensitive electronic circuitry and are Electrostatic  
Sensitive Devices (ESD). Handling SARA-G3 series modules without proper ESD protection may  
destroy or damage them permanently.  
SARA-G3 series modules are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD) and require special ESD  
precautions typically applied to ESD sensitive components.  
Table 8 reports the maximum ESD ratings of the SARA-G3 modules.  
Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling  
and operation of any application that incorporates SARA-G3 series modules.  
ESD precautions should be implemented on the application board where the module is mounted, as  
described in the SARA-G3 / SARA-U2 Series System Integration Manual [2].  
Failure to observe these precautions can result in severe damage to the device!
