1 General Description
SKC111 is a multi-purpose module which integrates a high performance GNSS engine and a quad-band
GSM/GPRS engine and a highly integrated Bluetooth transceiver.
The module’s GSM/GPRS engine can work at frequencies of GSM850MHz, EGSM900MHz, DCS1800MHz and
PCS1900MHz., with features GPRS multi-slot class 12 and supports the GPRS coding schemes CS-1, CS-2,
CS-3 and CS-4. GSM part of SKC111 is integrated with internet service protocols, such as TCP/UDP, FTP and
PPP. Extended AT commands have been developed for you to use these Internet service protocols easily.
The module’s GNSS engine supports various location and navigation applications, including autonomous GPS,
GLONASS, GALILEO, BEIDOU, SBAS ranging (WAAS, EGNOS, GAGAN, AND MSAS), QZSS, DGPS(RTCM)
and AGPS. In this way, SKC111 auxiliary serial port and GNSS serial port are connected together, so data can be
transferred between GSM and GNSS parts. This makes it very convenient for sending AT command to control
GNSS, firmware upgrading for GNSS, and EPO data download. It is able to achieve the industry’s highest level of
sensitivity, accuracy and TTFF with the lowest power consumption. The embedded flash memory provides
capacity for storing user-specific configurations and allows for future updates.
The module offers a highly integrated Bluetooth radio and baseband processor. It provides superior sensitivity
and class1 output power and thus the quality of the connection with a wide range of Bluetooth devices.

5 Interfaces
UART
The SKC111 module houses four UARTs. UARTs support baud rates from 110bps up to 921,600bps and baud
rate auto detection function. It also provides hardware flow control of the RTS/CTS signals and software flow
control.
UARTs can configure data transfer lengths from 5 to 8 bits, with an optional parity bit and one or two stop bits by
software. They can be served by the DMA controller.
I2C
The SKC111 module supports I2C master and slave mode. There are three types of speed mode in the I2C
controllers: standard mode (100k bit/s), fast mode (400k bit/s) and high-speed mode (3.4M bit/s), supporting 7-
bit/10-bit addressing and can be served by the DMA controller. The I2C package size supports up to 65,535 bytes

per transfer and 256 transfers per transaction in URAM mode and 8 bytes per transfer in FIFO mode.
SIM
The SIM interface supports the functionality of the GSM Phase 1 specification and also the functionality of the
new GSM Phase 2+ specification for FAST 64 kbps SIM card, which is intended to use with a SIM application
tool-kit.
The SIM interface is powered by an internal regulator in the module. Both 1.8V and 3.0V SIM cards are supported.
Dual SIM card function is supported but dual SIM dual standby is not supported.
SDIO
Supports the SDIO card specification version 2.0. However, the controller can only be configured as the host of
the SD memory card. Data rate up to 48 Mbps in serial mode, the module is targeted at 48MHz operating clock
PCM
Supports the master-mode PCM interface. The clock of PCM interface is 256kHz while the frame sync is 8kHz.
Both long sync and short sync interfaces are supported. The PCM interface can transmit 16-bit stereo or 32-bit
mono 8kHz sampling rate voice signal.
ADC
The auxiliary ADC includes the following functional blocks:
• Analog multiplexer: Selects signal from the input channel3. Real-world messages to be monitored,
e.g. temperature, should be transferred to the voltage domain.
• 10-bit A/D converter: Converts the multiplexed input signal to 10-bit digital data.
•Input voltage rang:0-2.8V
AUDIO
AIN can be used for input of microphone and line. An electret microphone is usually used. AIN are differential
input channels
AOUT is used for output of the receiver. This channel is typically used for building a receiver into a handset.
AOUT channel is a differential channel.
All of these audio channels support voice and ringtone output.
PPS
Skylab M&C Technology Co., Ltd
The Ultra-small GSM/GPRS/GNSS Module Datasheet
Model SKC111
8 / 20 SKC111-DA-001,A/1
A pulse per second (1 PPS) is an electrical signal that very precisely indicates the start of a second.
Depending on the source, properly operating PPS signals have an accuracy ranging 10ns. The PPS signals
are used for precise timekeeping and time measurement.
VRTC
In case of a power failure on pin VBAT, real-time clock and backup RAM are supplied through pin VRTC. This
enables the SKC111 GNSS Receiver to recover from power failure with either a hot start or a warm start
(depending on the duration of VCC outage). If no Backup Battery is connected, the receiver performs a cold start
upon powered up.
Backup Battery Power VRTC draws typically 15 uA current in backup state.
VBAT
Regulated power for the SKC111 is required. The input voltage Vcc should be 3.3V to 4.6V range, peak current is
no less than 1.6A. Suitable decoupling must be provided by external decoupling circuitry (10uF and 1uF). It can
reduce the Noise from power supply and increase power stability
GNSS Antenna
The SKC111 GNSS receiver is designed for supporting the passive antenna connected with pin GNSS_ANT. The
gain of active antenna should be no more than 25dB (18~20dB Typical). The maximum noise figure should be no
more than 1.5dB and output impedance is at 50 Ohm.
GSM Antenna
The SKC111 provides an RF antenna pad for antenna connection. The RF trace in host PCB connected to the
module’s RF antenna pad should be coplanar waveguide line or microstrip line, whose characteristic impedance
should be close to 50Ω.
6 Power on and down Scenarios
Power on
The module can be turned on by driving the pin PWRKEY to a low level voltage. An open collector driver circuit is
suggested to control the PWRKEY. A simple reference circuit is illustrated as below.

Model SKC111
9 / 20 SKC111-DA-001,A/1
Figure 2: Turn on the module with an Open-collector Driver
The other way to control the PWRKEY is through a button directly. A TVS component is indispensable to be
placed nearby the button for ESD protection. For the best performance, the TVS component must be placed
nearby the button. While pressing the key, electrostatic strike may generate from the finger. A reference circuit
is shown in the following figure.
Figure 3: Turn on the module with a button
Note: Make sure that VBAT is stable before pulling down PWRKEY pin. The time of pulling down
PWRKEY pin is recommended to be 100ms.
Power down
The following procedures can be used to turn off the module:
1. Normal power down procedure: Turn off module using the PWRKEY pin.
2. Under-voltage automatic shutdown: Take effect when under-voltage is detected.

Note: The normal input voltage range is from 3.3V to 4.6V. If the voltage is <3.3V, the module will
automatically shut down.

*SKC111 modules are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices and require special precautions while handling.
ESD precautions
The SKC111 modules contain highly sensitive electronic circuitry and are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD).
Handling the SKC111 modules without proper ESD protection may destroy or damage them permanently.
The SKC111 modules are electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) and require special ESD precautions typically
applied to ESD sensitive components. Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied
throughout the processing, handling, transportation and operation of any application that incorporates the
SKC111 module. Don’t touch the module by hand or solder with non-anti-static soldering iron to avoid damage to
the module.
