TOBY-L2 series - Data Sheet
1 Functional description
1.1 Overview
The TOBY-L2 series comprises LTE/3G/2G multi-mode modules in the very small TOBY LGA form-factor (152-pin,
35.6 x 24.8 mm) that are easy to integrate in compact designs.
TOBY-L2 series modules support up to six LTE bands, five UMTS/DC-HSPA+ bands and four GSM/(E)GPRS bands
for voice and/or data transmission.
TOBY-L2 series modules are form-factor compatible with the other popular u-blox cellular module families: this
allows customers to take the maximum advantage of their hardware and software investments, and provides
very short time-to-market.
With LTE category 4 data rates at up to 150 Mb/s (downlink) and 50 Mb/s (uplink), the modules are ideal for
applications requiring the highest data-rates and high-speed internet access. TOBY-L2 series modules are the
perfect choice for consumer fixed-wireless terminals, mobile routers and gateways, and applications requiring
video streaming. They are also optimally suited for industrial (M2M) applications, such as remote access to video
cameras, digital signage, telehealth, and security and surveillance systems.

Feature
Description
17
Wi-Fi via modem
Full access to u-blox short range communication Wi-Fi modules is available through a dedicated SDIO interface.
This means that from any host processor a single serial port can control the cellular module and the short range
communication module.
All the management software for the Wi-Fi module operations runs inside the cellular module in addition to those
required for cellular-only operation: Wi-Fi driver, Web User Interface (WebUI), Connection Config Manager, Wi-Fi
regional regulatory domains block feature.
For more details see the Wi-Fi / Cellular Integration Application Note [5].
Smart Temperature
17
Supervisor
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 and configured through the +USTS AT command.
The sensor measures board temperature, which can differ from ambient temperature.
Remote SIM Access
18
Profile (SAP)
Allows access and use of a remote (U)SIM card instead of the local SIM card directly connected to the module
(U)SIM interface. The module acts as an SAP Client establishing a connection and performing data exchange to a
SAP Server directly connected to the remote SIM. The modules provide a dedicated USB SAP channel and a
dedicated multiplexer SAP channel over UART for communication with the remote (U)SIM card.
The feature can be configured and enabled by +USAPMODE and + USAPIND AT commands.
Power saving
The power saving configuration is by default disabled, but it can be enabled and configured using the +UPSV AT
command. When the 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.
Fast Dormancy
The Fast Dormancy feature, defined in 3GPP Rel.8, allows reduction of current consumption and network utilization
during periods of data inactivity. It can be activated and configured by +UFDAC and +UDCONF=61 AT commands.

2 Interfaces
2.1 Power management
2.1.1 Module supply input (VCC)
TOBY-L2 series modules must be supplied through the VCC pins by a DC power supply. Voltage must be stable,
because during operation the current drawn from VCC can vary significantly, based on the power consumption
profile of the LTE/3G/2G technologies (described in the TOBY-L2 / MPCI-L2 series System Integration Manual [2]).
2.1.2 RTC supply input / output (V_BCKP)
When VCC voltage is within the valid operating range, the internal Power Management Unit (PMU) supplies the
Real Time Clock (RTC) and the same supply voltage is available on the 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 Generic digital interfaces supply output (V_INT)
TOBY-L2 series modules provide a 1.8 V supply rail output on the V_INT pin, which is internally generated when
the module is switched on. The same voltage domain is used internally to supply the generic digital interfaces of
the modules. The V_INT supply output can be used in place of an external discrete regulator.
2.2 Antenna interfaces
2.2.1 Antenna RF interfaces
The modules have two RF pins with a characteristic impedance of 50 . The primary antenna pin (ANT1)
supports both Tx and Rx, providing the main antenna interface, while the secondary antenna pin (ANT2)
supports Rx only for the LTE MIMO 2x2 and 3G Rx diversity configurations.
2.2.2 Antenna detection
The antenna detection is not supported by “00”, “01” and “60” product versions.
The ANT_DET pin is an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) input with a current source provided by TOBY-L2
modules to sense the antenna presence (as an optional feature). It evaluates the resistance from ANT1 and
ANT2 pins to GND by means of an external antenna detection circuit implemented on the application board.
(For more details, see the TOBY-L2 / MPCI-L2 series System Integration Manual [2] and the u-blox AT Commands
Manual [1].)
2.3 System functions
2.3.1 Module power-on
TOBY-L2 series 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 pin, which is normally set high by an internal pull-up, for a valid time period
when the applied VCC voltage is within the valid operating range (see section 4.2.8). The PWR_ON line
should be driven by open drain, open collector or contact switch.
UBX-13004573 - R25
Interfaces
Page 11 of 48
TOBY-L2 series - Data Sheet
Low level on the RESET_N pin, which is normally set high by an internal pull-up, for a valid time period
when the applied VCC voltage is within the valid operating range (see section 4.2.9). The RESET_N line
should be driven by open drain, open collector or contact switch.
RTC alarm, i.e. pre-programmed scheduled time by AT+CALA command
2.3.2 Module power-off
TOBY-L2 series can be properly switched off by:
AT+CPWROFF command (see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1]). The current parameter settings are
saved in the module’s non-volatile memory and a proper network detach is performed.
An abrupt under-voltage shutdown occurs on TOBY-L2 series modules when the VCC supply is removed. If this
occurs, it is not possible to store the current parameter settings in the module’s non-volatile memory or to
perform the proper network detach.
An abrupt shutdown occurs on TOBY-L2 series modules when a low level is applied on the RESET_N pin, which
is normally set high by an internal pull-up, for a valid time period (see the section 4.2.9). This causes an abrupt
shutdown of the module: the current parameter settings are not saved in the module’s non-volatile memory and
a proper network detach is not performed.
An over-temperature or an under-temperature shutdown occurs on TOBY-L2 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 TOBY-L2 / MPCI-L2
series System Integration Manual [2] and the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1], +USTS AT command.
Smart Temperature Supervisor is not supported by “00”, “01” and “60” product versions.
2.3.3 Module reset
TOBY-L2 series modules can be reset (rebooted) by:
AT+CFUN command (see the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1]). This causes an “internal” or “software”
reset of the module. The current parameter settings are saved in the module’s non-volatile memory and a
proper network detach is performed.
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 the section 4.2.9). This causes an “external”
or “hardware” reset of the module. The current parameter settings are not saved in the module’s non-volatile
memory and a proper network detach is not performed. The RESET_N line should be driven by open drain, open
collector or contact switch.
2.3.4 Module configuration selection by host processor
The selection of the module configuration by the host application processor over HOST_SELECT0 and
HOST_SELECT1 pins is not supported by all the TOBY-L2 series modules product versions.
TOBY-L2 series modules include two input pins (HOST_SELECT0, HOST_SELECT1) for the selection of the
module configuration by the host application processor.

TOBY-L2 series - Data Sheet
2.4 SIM
2.4.1 SIM interface
A SIM card interface is provided on the VSIM, SIM_IO, SIM_CLK, SIM_RST pins: 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 (1.8 V and 3 V ME). Activation and deactivation with automatic
voltage switch from 1.8 V to 3 V is 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/chip.
2.4.2 SIM detection
The SIM detection is not supported by “00”, “01” and “60” product versions.
TOBY-L2 series modules provide the SIM detection function over GPIO to sense the SIM card physical presence
(as an optional feature) when the specific GPIO pin of the module is properly connected to the mechanical
switch of the SIM car holder (for more details see the TOBY-L2 / MPCI-L2 series System Integration Manual [2]).
2.5 Serial communication
TOBY-L2 series provides the following serial communication interfaces:
UART interface: asynchronous serial interface available for the communication with a DTE host application
processor (AT commands, data communication, FW update by means of FOAT) and for diagnostic
USB interface: High-Speed USB 2.0 compliant interface available for the communication with a USB host
application processor (AT commands, data communication, FW update by means of the FOAT feature), for
FW update by means of the u-blox EasyFlash tool and for diagnostic
DDC interface: I2C bus compatible interface available for the communication with external I2C devices
SDIO interface: Secure Digital Input Output interface available for the communication with an external
u-blox short range communication Wi-Fi module
2.5.1 UART interface
The UART interface is not supported by “00” modules product versions.
TOBY-L2 series modules include a 9-wire unbalanced asynchronous serial interface (UART) for communication
with an application host processor (AT commands, data communication, FW update by means of the FOAT
feature) and for diagnostic purpose.
UART features are:
Complete serial port with RS-232 functionality conforming to the ITU-T V.24 Recommendation [13], with
CMOS compatible signal levels (0 V for low data bit or ON state and 1.8 V for high data bit or OFF state)
Data lines (RXD as output, TXD as input), hardware flow control lines (CTS as output, RTS as input), modem
status and control lines (DTR as input, DSR as output, DCD as output, RI as output) are provided
Hardware flow control (default value), software flow control, or none flow control are supported
Software flow control is not supported by “00”, “01”, “60” and TOBY-L201-02S product versions.
UBX-13004573 - R25
Interfaces
Page 13 of 48
TOBY-L2 series - Data Sheet
Power saving indication available on the hardware flow control output (CTS line): the line is driven to the
OFF state when the module is not prepared to accept data by the UART interface
Power saving control over the RTS input or the DTR input can be enabled via AT+UPSV command (for more
details see u-blox AT Commands Manual [1] and TOBY-L2 / MPCI-L2 series System Integration Manual [2])
The following baud rates are supported: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 (default baud rate when
autobauding is disabled or not supported), 230400, 460800 and 921600 b/s
One-shot autobauding is supported and it is by default enabled: automatic baud rate detection is performed
only once, at module start up. After the detection, the module works at the fixed baud rate (the detected
one) and the baud rate can only be changed via AT command (see u-blox AT Commands Manual [1], +IPR).
Frame format can be:
o 8N2 (8 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits)
o 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit), default frame configuration
o 8E1 (8 data bits, even parity, 1 stop bit)
o 8O1 (8 data bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit)
o 7N2 (7 data bits, no parity, 2 stop bits)
o 7N1 (7 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit)
o 7E1 (7 data bits, even parity, 1 stop bit)
o 7O1 (7 data bits, odd parity, 1 stop bit)
Automatic frame recognition is not supported by all TOBY-L2 series modules product versions.
UART serial interface can be conveniently configured through AT commands. For more details see the u-blox AT
Commands Manual [1] (+IPR, +ICF, +IFC, &K, \Q, +UPSV AT command) and TOBY-L2 / MPCI-L2 series System
Integration Manual [2].
2.5.1.1 Multiplexer protocol
TOBY-L2 series modules include multiplexer functionality as per 3GPP TS 27.010 [9] on the UART physical link.
This is a data link protocol which uses HDLC-like framing and operates between the module (DCE) and the
application processor (DTE), allowing a number of simultaneous sessions over the physical link (UART): the user
can concurrently use AT interface on one MUX channel and data communication on another MUX channel.
The following virtual channels are defined (for more details, see the Mux Implementation Application Note [4]):
Channel 0: control
Channel 1 – 5: AT commands / data connection
UBX-13004573 - R25
Interfaces

TOBY-L2 series - Data Sheet
2.5.2 USB interface
TOBY-L2 series modules include a high-speed USB 2.0 compliant interface with maximum 480 Mb/s data rate,
representing the main interface for transferring high speed data with a host application processor. The module
itself acts as a USB device and can be connected to any USB host equipped with compatible drivers.
The USB_D+ / USB_D- lines carry the USB data and signaling, providing all the functionalities for the bus
attachment, configuration, enumeration, suspension or remote wakeup according to USB 2.0 specification [14].
The functionality of the additional VUSB_DET pin is not supported by all the TOBY-L2 series modules
product versions: the pin should be left unconnected or it should not be driven high by any external
device, because a high logic level applied to the pin will represent a module switch-on event (additional to
the ones listed in section 2.3.1) and will prevent reaching the minimum possible consumption with power
saving enabled.
TOBY-L2 series modules provide by default the following set of USB functions:
CDC-ACM modem: AT commands interface is available over this modem COM port
RNDIS network adapter: Ethernet-over-USB connection is available over this network adapter
The USB of TOBY-L2 series modules can be configured by the AT+UUSBCONF command to select different sets
of USB functions available in a mutually exclusive way. The configured USB profile can thus consist of a specific
set of functions with various capabilities and purposes, such as:
CDC-ACM for AT commands and data
CDC-ACM for remote SIM Access Profile (SAP)
CDC-ACM for diagnostic
RNDIS for Ethernet-over-USB
CDC-ECM for Ethernet-over-USB
The CDC-ACM for remote SIM Access Profile (SAP) is not supported by the “00”, “01”, “02”, “60” and
“62” product versions of TOBY-L2 series modules.
For more details regarding the USB configurations and capabilities, see the TOBY-L2 / MPCI-L2 series System
Integration Manual [2] and the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1], +UUSBCONF AT command.

2.5.3 DDC (I2C) interface
The DDC (I2C) interface is not supported by “00”, “01”, “60” and TOBY-L201-02S product versions.
TOBY-L2 series modules include an I2C-bus compatible DDC interface (SDA, SCL) available to communicate with
external I2C devices as an audio codec: the TOBY-L2 module acts as an I2C master which can communicate with
I2C slaves in accordance with the I2C bus specifications [16].
For more details regarding the DDC (I2C) interface usage see the I2C AT commands description in the u-blox AT
Commands Manual [1].
2.5.4 SDIO interface
The SDIO interface is not supported by “00”, “01” and “60” modules product versions.
TOBY-L2 series modules include a 4-bit Secure Digital Input Output interface (SDIO_D0, SDIO_D1, SDIO_D2,
SDIO_D3, SDIO_CLK, SDIO_CMD) designed to communicate with an external u-blox short range Wi-Fi module:
the TOBY-L2 cellular module acts as an SDIO host controller which can communicate over the SDIO bus with a
compatible u-blox short range Wi-Fi module acting as SDIO device.
The SDIO interface is the only one interface of TOBY-L2 cellular modules available for communication between
the u-blox cellular module and the u-blox short range Wi-Fi module. The AT commands interface is not available
on the SDIO interface of TOBY-L2 series modules.
The SDIO interface supports 50 MHz bus clock frequency, which allows a data throughput of 200 Mb/s.
For more details regarding the SDIO interface usage and the integration with a u-blox Wi-Fi module see the
TOBY-L2 / MPCI-L2 series System Integration Manual [2], the Wi-Fi / Cellular Integration Application Note [5],
and the Wi-Fi AT commands description in the u-blox AT Commands Manual [1].
2.6 Audio
Audio is not supported by “00”, “01”, “60”, TOBY-L201-02S and TOBY-L220-62S product versions.
TOBY-L2 series modules include a 4-wire I2S digital audio interface (I2S_TXD, I2S_RXD, I2S_CLK, I2S_WA) that
can be configured by AT command in PCM mode (short synchronization signal) or in normal I2S mode (long
synchronization signal) to transfer digital audio data with an external device as an audio codec.
TOBY-L2 series modules act as an I2S master: I2S_CLK clock and I2S_WA world alignment / synchronization
signal are generated by the module.
TOBY-L2 series modules provide master digital clock output function on GPIO6 pin for an external audio codec.
For more details regarding TOBY-L2 series modules internal audio processing system capabilities, I2S digital audio
interface possible configurations, usage and guideline for the integration with an external digital audio device as
an audio codec see the TOBY-L2 / MPCI-L2 series System Integration Manual [2] and the Audio Interface and

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
(section 4.2) of the specification should be avoided. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Operating condition 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.

4.3 Parameters for ATEX applications
This section provides useful parameters and information to integrate TOBY-L2 series modules in applications
intended for use in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX), describing:
Total internal capacitance and inductance of TOBY-L2 series modules (see Table 26)
Maximum RF output power and voltage at the antenna pin of TOBY-L2 series modules (see Table 27)
Any specific applicable requirement for the implementation of the apparatus integrating TOBY-L2 series
modules, intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, must be fulfilled according to the exact
applicable standards: check the detailed requisites on the pertinent normative for the application, as for
example the IEC 60079-0 [17], IEC 60079-11 [18], IEC 60079-26 [19] standards.
The certification of the application device that integrates a TOBY-L2 series module and the compliance of
the application device with all the applicable certification schemes, directives and standards required for
use in potentially explosive atmospheres are the sole responsibility of the application device manufacturer.
Table 26 describes the maximum total internal capacitance and the maximum total internal inductance,
considering internal parts tolerance, provided by TOBY-L2 series modules.

7.2 Moisture Sensitivity Levels
TOBY-L2 series modules are Moisture Sensitive Devices (MSD) in accordance to the IPC/JEDEC
specification.
The Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) relates to the packaging and handling precautions required. TOBY-L2 series
modules are rated at MSL level 4. For more information regarding moisture sensitivity levels, labeling, storage
and drying see the u-blox Package Information Guide [6].
For MSL standard see IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 (can be downloaded from www.jedec.org).
7.3 Reflow soldering
Reflow profiles are to be selected according to u-blox recommendations (see TOBY-L2 / MPCI-L2 series System
Integration Manual [2]).
Failure to observe these recommendations can result in severe damage to the device!
7.4 ESD precautions
TOBY-L2 series modules contain highly sensitive electronic circuitry and are Electrostatic
Sensitive Devices (ESD). Handling TOBY-L2 series modules without proper ESD protection may
destroy or damage them permanently.
TOBY-L2 series modules are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD) and require special ESD precautions typically
applied to ESD sensitive components.
Table 7 reports the maximum ESD ratings of the TOBY-L2 series modules.
Proper ESD handling and packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and
operation of any application that incorporates TOBY-L2 series module.
ESD precautions should be implemented on the application board where the module is mounted, as described in
the TOBY-L2 / MPCI-L2 series System Integration Manual [2].
Failure to observe these recommendations can result in severe damage to the device!
