Introduction
1.1
Overview
The GR47/GR48 belong to a new generation of Sony Ericsson Mobile
Communications GSM modules. This document describes the main
characteristics and functionality of the GR47/48, two dual band
products for 900/1800 MHz and 850/1900 MHz GSM bands
respectively.
They are intended to be used in both machine-to-machine applications
and man-to-machine applications. The module serves its purpose
when there is a need for sending and receiving data (by SMS, CSD,
HSCSD, or GPRS), as well as making voice calls over the GSM
network.
GR47/GR48 are business-to-business products. It is intended to be
sold to manufacturers, system integrators, applications developersdeveloping solutions with wireless communication. The module is
intended to be integrated by the system integrator within an
application. The module and the external application will form a
system for wireless communication.
A typical system is one where a micro controller in an external
application communicates with the module over its serial interface.
The micro controller will control the module, via the supported set of
AT commands. It is assumed that the system integrators have a high
technical knowledge and the ability to integrate the module into a
system. For the GR47/GR48 modules some interesting applications
are the following:
•
Fleet and Asset Management
•
Vending Machines
•
Security and Alarm
•
Other telemetry applications

Reference for analogue audio
ATMS and AFMS are the audio input and output for the module. The
analogue audio signals can be used in two different modes, Handsfree
and Portable Handsfree.
Handsfree
This mode is referred to as Audio To Mobile Station (ATMS) and
Audio From Mobile Station (AFMS). It is used by audio accessories
such as Handsets and Handsfree equipment.
Portable Handsfree
This mode activates a different amplification factor in the Mobile
Equipment (ME). It also activates a microphone bias level in ATMS.
This is the default mode.
3.6.1 Audio To Mobile Station (ATMS)
ATMS is the analogue audio input to the module. It connects to the
audio input of the CODEC in the module. The CODEC then converts
the analogue audio to digital audio, in PCM format, which is
connected to the internal PCM bus in the module. The internal PCM
bus connects the encoded audio to PCMO on the system connector.
ATMS is also used as the microphone input from the Portable
Handsfree. If this is the case, a DC bias is provided from the ATMS.
All sources must be AC-coupled except the Portable Handsfree
microphone, which shall be DC-coupled in order to supply DC current
to the Portable Handsfree microphone. AC coupling prevents incorrect
biasing or damage of the ATMS input. The capacitor must have a
value greater than shown below to avoid attenuation of low
frequencies.
The ATMS input is a passive network followed by the transmit part of
the CODEC.

3.16 Real Time Clock
The Real Time Clock provides the module with a time-of-day
calendar with alarm and one hundred-year calendar to the main

The real time clock operates with a separate power supply. Therefore,
two modes of operation shall be distinguished:
•
•
RTC Normal operation: This is when the MS is powered/Vcc
present and it does not take into account if the MS is in OFF or
ON.
RTC Backup operation: This operation is performed when the MS
is not powered, VCC = 0V. In this case the RTC operation is
maintained by the backup power supply.
The backup power supply is a passive power supply, capacitor,
golden- capacitor, battery etc., which shall be connected outside the
MS to VRTC pin. During the RTC normal operation, the passive
power supply is being charged; this is like charging a capacitor.
In backup operation, the backup source provides with enough voltage

3.17 Extended IO capabilities
In order to increase the flexibility and variety of GR47 peripherals, the
RS232 hardware flow control shares its physical interface with the
keypad scanning interface and extended general purpose IO
capability. Due to the nature of this sharing, it is not feasible to
operate all these features concurrently (although, with care, dynamic
switching from one feature to another and back is possible).
When a particular feature is required of an IO, the software
automatically sets the states of the relevant IO blocks disabling one set
and enabling others. This is most noticeable with the RS232 hardware
flow control when switching on the keypad functionality.
If full hardware flow control and handshaking is required there will be
no available keypad column drivers and the keypad interfacing will be
disabled. If intermediate hardware flow control is selected (RTS and
CTS only), the unused flow control pins (DTR, DCD, RI, DSR) are
made available to the keypad interface providing three discrete matrix
column drivers.
If RS232 hardware flow control is switched off altogether, the
remaining keypad column driver is enabled allowing the full keypad
matrix of 5 columns by 4 rows.
3.17.1 LED/IO6
The LED function pin can be used as a general purpose digital IO
when the flashing LED function is not required. However, this pin
does not have an on-board pull-up resistor. It is required that an
external pull-up or pull-down resistor be provided by the host circuitry
when either not used or when used as a digital input.

the outputs are driven rail-to-rail at 2.75V levels.
3.17.3 UART3/IO#
The UART3 pins have been given alternative functions as general
purpose I/O, both pins may be used for either input or output.
However, the TX pin has a 100kO pull-down resistor to ground and
the RX pin has a 100kO pull-up resistor to 2.75V. This must be taken
into consideration when designing the host circuit.
3.17.4 IO#/ADC#
To increase analog input capabilities, the GR47 optimises the IO by
multiplexing or sharing different features on single pins. There are
two digital IO pins which now have an additional ADC input. When
configured as digital IO, the software will not read the voltages at the
two new ADC inputs. When configured as ADC inputs the software
will configure the digital IO pins as input or high impedance tri-state.
In this state any applied voltage between 0V and 2.75V can be read as
an 8 bit value.
Because the additional ADC inputs (ADC4 and ADC5) are common
with digital IO, the input circuit of the ADC is not the same as for the
original circuits ADC1-3. It is important to understand the input
structure of the pin so that the correct analog voltage is read by the
application. The input structure is provided in figure 3.7. It consists of
a 100kO pull-up to 2.75V followed by a series 1kO and 10nF
capacitor to ground which make a low pass filter with a 3dB roll-off at
about 16kHz. The input impedance of the analog IC is 1MO
minimum.

3.18 Keyboard interface
To increase IO capabilities, the GR47 optimises the IO by
multiplexing or sharing different features on single pins. The IO has
been extended to allow simple interfacing of a matrix keypad.
3.18.1 IO#/KEYROW#
When configured for keypad operation the software will configure the
digital IO pins as input or high impedance tri-state. In this state, the
keypad matrix row can be read from the KEYROW# inputs. These
pins have a 100kO pull-up to 2.75V and the rows are considered
activated when the voltage is pulled low by the external keypad
switches.
3.18.2 KEYCOL#
The keypad matrix column drivers share functionality with the RS232
hardware flow control signals. When configured for keypad operation
the software will configure the hardware flow control to either
intermediate or off.
With intermediate flow control the number of keypad column outputs
is limited to three, with flow control switched off, the number of
keypad column outputs is increased to four. In addition to the keypad
column outputs it is possible to use a direct ground connection as an
additional column driver, which is interpreted as column zero.
Thus it is possible to create a variety of keypad matrix sizes from
single column to five columns wide.
Finally, a standard keypad matrix directly connects the rows to the
columns whenever a key is depressed. In order to avoid short circuits
if multiple keys are pressed simultaneously, the column drivers must
be open-collector. This must be achieved with external transistors as
the logic drive from the GR47 is rail-to-rail. Suitable transistors for
this interface are of the type with built in bias resistors between base
and emitter.
The method of connection is shown in 3.8 below.

6 Embedded applications
The module has the capability to store and run customer written code
in the form of a script during the processors idle time, through the use
of an on board interpreter.
6.1
Features
Main features of embedded applications are as follows.
•
•
•
•
6.2
C based scripting language (SEM specific)
Over the air upgradeable (scripts, NOT signalling software)
Library of intrinsic functions
Multiple on module script support
Implementation
The module has upto 44k of space available for storage of two scripts
in the scripting language and 25k of operating RAM. Structures
included in this language are
•
•
•
If - then - else statements
While loops
For loops
All hardware interfaces that are normally available to the module
through the AT commands are available to the embedded application.
Further drivers have been written such as M bus and I2 C for use by the
EA through the use of the IO pins.
6.2.1 Limitations
Since the module is processing the script using its own memory
limitations are placed onto the scripts that are run.
•
•
•
GBBA/SEM/BMS 03:0001 Rev A
A direct comparison cannot be made to a fully compiled C
program in terms of size but a gauge of script size is that if
each line were 128 characters long in the script then the script
could be 350 lines long.
Processing power is something that needs to be considered as
the script is run as a low priority process within the software.
An option that can be used to stop this controller mode , this
stops GSM operation and provides all processing power for
the script to be run.
Code cannot be ported directly from an existing application
and loaded directly onto the module. It must be re written in
the SEM script language so that the module interpreter can
function correctly.

6.2.2 M2mpower IDE (Integrated Developers Environment)
The IDE is a windows based package which allows the user to write
simulate, de-bug and download their application into a module with
the EA software. The standard version is designed to run on Windows
XP and 2000, other versions are available for 98 if required.
A guide is available for implementing applications using the
developers kit and the EA functionality.
This is a required package to be able to implement an EA.

GR47/GR48 Technical description
7 TCP/IP stack
An on board IP/TCP/UDP stack has been integrated into the software
negating the need for the customer to implement one in their own code
base.
This is going to initially only be accessible through the embedded
applications (see previous section) using intrinsic functions.
7.1
Implementation
There are a number commands allowing various functions , these are
as follows.
•
•
•
•
Open/closing IP connection – Negotiates/closes a dynamic IP
address with the web server.
Send/Receive TCP packets – Performs all TCP operations to
send and receive packets.
Send/Receive UDP packets – Performs all UDP operations to
send and receive packets.
Resolve URL to an IP address - Similar to nslookup command
in DOS
When the unit is set up and controlled using the embedded
applications either the EA or an external application can generate data
to be sent and can pass it to the module for transmission.
This effectively provides a transparent communication link to an
internet server from the application over GPRS.
