A simple circuit to do it is: NOTE: Don't use any pull up resistor on the ON* line, it is internally pulled up.

Power Supply The power supply circuitry and board layout are a very important part in the full product design and they strongly reflect on the product overall performances, hence read carefully the requirements and the guidelines that will follow for a proper design. 5.1.

PAGE 28
GE910 GE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300962 Rev.4 2012-06-25 5.3. General Design Rules The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps: • the electrical design • the thermal design • the PCB layout. 5.3.1. Electrical Design Guidelines The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly from the power source where this power is drained.
PAGE 29
GE910 GE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300962 Rev.4 2012-06-25 5.3.1.2. + 12V input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines • • • • • • • • The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence due to the big difference between the input source and the desired output, a linear regulator is not suited and shall not be used. A switching power supply will be preferable because of its better efficiency especially with the 2A peak current load represented by the GE910.
PAGE 30
GE910 GE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300962 Rev.4 2012-06-25 5.3.1.3. Battery Source Power Supply Design Guidelines • The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V and the maximum voltage allowed is 4.2V, hence a single 3.7V Li-Ion cell battery type is suited for supplying the power to the Telit GE910 module. WARNING: The three cells Ni/Cd or Ni/MH 3,6 V Nom.
PAGE 31
GE910 GE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300962 Rev.4 2012-06-25 5.3.2. Thermal Design Guidelines The thermal design for the power supply heat sink should be done with the following specifications: See para 6.2 Power Consumption NOTE: The average consumption during transmissions depends on the power level at which the device is requested to transmit by the network. The average current consumption hence varies significantly.
PAGE 32
GE910 GE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300962 Rev.4 2012-06-25 5.3.3. Power Supply PCB layout Guidelines As seen on the electrical design guidelines the power supply shall have a low ESR capacitor on the output to cut the current peaks and a protection diode on the input to protect the supply from spikes and polarity inversion. The placement of these components is crucial for the correct working of the circuitry. A misplaced component can be useless or can even decrease the power supply performances.

GE910 GE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300962 Rev.4 2012-06-25 6. Antenna The antenna connection and board layout design are the most important aspect in the full product design as they strongly affect the product overall performances, hence read carefully and follow the requirements and the guidelines for a proper design. 6.1.
PAGE 34
GE910 GE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300962 Rev.4 2012-06-25 Furthermore if the device is developed for the US market and/or Canada market, it shall comply with the FCC and/or IC approval requirements: This device is to be used only for mobile and fixed application.

PCB Guidelines in case of FCC certification In the case FCC certification is required for an application using GE910, according to FCC KDB 996369 for modular approval requirements, the transmission line has to be similar to that implemented on GE910 interface board and described in the following chapter. 6.3.1.

A calibrated coaxial cable has been soldered at the pad corresponding to GE910 RF output; a SMA connector has been soldered to the board in order to characterize the losses of the transmission line including the connector itself. During Return Loss / impedance measurements, the transmission line has been terminated to 50 Ω load.

Unconditional Shutdown Signal HW_SHUTDOWN* Function Hardware unconditional Shutdown I/O I Pin R13 HW_SHUTDOWN* is used to unconditionally shutdown the GE910. Whenever this signal is pulled low, the GE910 is unconditionally shutdown. When the device is reset it stops any operation. After the release of the HW_SHUTDOWN* pin, the GE910 is unconditionally shut down, without doing any detach operation from the network where it is registered.

GE910 GE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300962 Rev.4 2012-06-25 8. Serial Ports The serial port on the GE910 is the core of the interface between the module and OEM hardware. 2 serial ports are available on the module: • MODEM SERIAL PORT 1 (Main, ASC0) • MODEM SERIAL PORT 2 (Auxiliary, ASC1) 8.1. MODEM SERIAL PORT Several configurations can be designed for the serial port on the OEM hardware, but the most common are: • RS232 PC com port • microcontroller UART @ 1.

RS232 level translation In order to interface the GE910 with a PC com port or a RS232 (EIA/TIA-232) application a level translator is required. This level translator must: • invert the electrical signal in both directions; • change the level from 0/1.

GE910 GE910 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300962 Rev.4 2012-06-25 An example of RS232 level adaptation circuitry could be done using a MAXIM transceiver (MAX218). In this case the chipset is capable to translate directly from 0/1.8V to the RS232 levels (Example done on 4 signals only). The RS232 serial port lines are usually connected to a DB9 connector with the following layout: Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A. written authorization - All Rights Reserved Mod. 0805 2011-07 Rev.

Audio Section Overview The Base Band Chip of the GE910 provides one differential input for audio to be transmitted (Uplink) and a balanced BTL output for audio to be received (downlink). The bias for the microphone has to be as clean as possible; the first connection (single ended) is prefearable since the Vmic noise and ground noise are fed into the input as common mode and then rejected.

EAR connection EAR+ + DAC OUTPUT EAR- MODULE The audio output of the GE910 is balanced, this is helpful to double the level and to reject common mode (click and pop are common mode and therefore rejected). These outputs can drive directly a small loudspeaker with electrical impedance not lower than 8Ohm.

Using a GPIO Pad as INPUT The GPIO pads, when used as inputs, can be connected to a digital output of another device and report its status, provided this device has interface levels compatible with the 1.8V CMOS levels of the GPIO. If the digital output of the device to be connected with the GPIO input pad has interface levels different from the 1.8V CMOS, then it can be buffered with an open collector transistor with a 47K pull up to 1.8V.

Indication of network service availability The STAT_LED pin status shows information on the network service availability and Call status. In the GE910 modules, the STAT_LED usually needs an external transistor to drive an external LED. Therefore, the status indicated in the following table is reversed with respect to the pin status.

RTC Bypass out The VRTC pin brings out the Real Time Clock supply, which is separate from the rest of the digital part, allowing having only RTC going on when all the other parts of the device are off. To this power output a backup capacitor can be added in order to increase the RTC autonomy during power off of the battery. NO Devices must be powered from this pin.

Recommended foot print for the application In order to easily rework the GE910 is suggested to consider on the application a 1.5mm Inhibit area around the module. It is also suggested, as common rule for an SMT component, to avoid having a mechanical part of the application in direct contact with the module. NOTE: In the customer application, the region under INHIBIT WIRING must be clear from signal or ground paths.
