EVB HW User Guide Product Description
Doc#: 1VV0301249 Overview
2. Product Description
Overview
The Telit Evaluation Board is a generic developer’s platform, which is designed to provide
the complete development environment to the user and intended to be used with a new
set of Telit IoT modules as listed in the Applicability Table.
The EVB is designed to carry an Interface Board (IFBD) via three 120-pin B2B
connectors, thus making the EVB seamless to an actual size or pinout so that it can
support multiple form factors and products.
The Telit module is mounted directly on the IFBD.
Power supply and control interface to the IFBD module are provided from the EVB via the
B2B connectors. Several power supply configurations, including battery charging, are
available. In addition, all interfaces needed for the developers, such as SIM card holders,
JTAG, UART, USB, audio, micro SD, etc., are available on the EVB main board.
To offer remote control and/or test automation of the EVB environment, the EVB can be
equipped with an Arduino-compatible, A-star 32U4 microcontroller board, based on
Atmel’s Atmega32U4 with USB interface. This Arduino-compatible card is mounted on the
EVB using two 10-pin headers.
The EVB functionality and supported features can be extended using the 120-pin
SAMTEC extension connector (EXT) which allows adding an additional Extension Card to
the system, such as SGMII Ethernet MAC/PHY, WiFi, audio codec, display, camera, Dead
Reckoning (DR), etc.
Refer to your Telit representative for more information about the available extension cards
that suit the Telit product designed into your application.

EVB HW User Guide Power Supply
Doc#: 1VV0301249 Supply Source Selection
3. Power Supply
Supply Source Selection
The EVB can be configured for different power supply sources depending on the required
use case. The following block diagram shows the different power path options.
Figure 5: EVB Power Supply
The EVB main power connector is PL101/SO101 with an input range of 6-15V.
Normally (i.e. in a typical SW developers setup), the EVB is supplied from the main power
connector, and a DCDC buck supply with a set point of 3.9V is used to provide the system
VBAT. So the usual jumper configuration is as follows: PL103/2-3; PL106/1-2; PL105/2-3.
PL102 allows an external configurable power supply to feed directly the Telit module
VBAT input supply while all the auxiliary peripherals are sourced by the main power
connector. For more details, refer to Section 3.3, Auxiliary Supply.
This mode of operation is also needed to test the complete VBAT range during module
certification.
For field testing, an additional backup battery can be added (connected to PL104) in the
box to overcome sudden or unexpected power drops from the vehicle’s 12V source. Since
the Telit module does not incorporate an internal battery charger solution, the EVB has an
external charger circuit based on BQ24261M from TI.
For field testing (battery incl.) use the following jumper configuration: PL103/1-2;
PL106/open; PL105/1-2.
Although strictly not necessary to be present, the A-star control board can be applied to
automate the EVB power supply sequencing for testing purposes, battery charger control,
as well as for other control and/or current or temperature monitoring functions.
Rev. 1.0 Page 16 of 60 2020-04-09

If the A-star module is not mounted in the system, the following default conditions apply:
• Use case of DCDC buck power path selected (PL103/2-3):
The buck supply is enabled by default and supplies the system with 3.9V.
• Use case of charger path selected (PL103/1-2):
The TI BQ24261M device offers two features:
o Power-path control
o Battery charging
The power-path feature allows the BQ24261M to power the system from a high-efficiency
DC-DC converter while simultaneously and independently charging the battery. The
power path also permits the battery to supplement the system current requirements when
the adapter cannot.
The power path can supply the system even if no battery is connected, but it is limited to
400 mA so most probably the system will not be able to reach full functionality using this
mode.
The battery charging feature itself is enabled by default but is limited to 400 mA. For high
current battery charging, the charger must be software-controlled and enabled over the
I2C communication bus, thus the A-star module must be present and is responsible for
enabling and controlling battery charging.
BQ24261 I2C SLAVE 7 bit address: 0x6B
If no input source of at least 6V is present on PL101/SO101, the charger path can also be
supplied from the 5V VBUS USB connector via diodes when connected (either from the
module USB connector via D106 or from the FTDI USB-UART connector via D107).
To avoid current to be drawn from the USB host(s) inadvertently, apply an external power
source of at least 6V on PL101/SO101, so the Schottky diodes will be reverse polarised.
NOTE:
The current sourced from typical USB hosts is usually limited to 500 mA, so
check your USB (charger) source specification or make sure that the SW I2C
configured battery charging current is lower.
Rev. 1.0 Page 17 of 60 2020-04-09

It is up to the user to place the jumpers according to the power system configuration he
wants to apply. The following snapshots of the component diagram clarify the detailed pin
locations of the jumpers related to power selection.
The suggested green-colored jumper locations can be used for typical SW developers use
to supply the system from an external 6V supply without any battery presence/charging
involved.

Doc#: 1VV0301249 Module Supply Current Monitoring
Module Supply Current Monitoring
The system current of the module can be measured, using one of the following options:
• The A-star module can be programmed to automate/measure/log the current
consumed by the VBATT and VBATT_PA supply lines from a host PC application.
Two MAX9611AUB devices and 1%-precision resistors are used as listed in Table
4.

MAX9611 I2C Slave 0xE0/0xE1 0xE6/0xE7

address (W/R)
To enable (insert) the sense resistors in the VBAT supply paths, leave the
following jumper positions open:
PL111 position 3-4 (VBAT) and PL112 position 3-4 (VBAT_PA).
• An external ampere meter for manual measurements:
PL111 position1-2 and PL112 position1-2 can be opened and used to apply
current clamps to an external ampere meter for manual measurements.
• Using an external power supply or power monitor/analyzer device, bypassing the

PL102 input power connector:
By placing a jumper on PL106 position 2-3, you can bypass the on-board voltage
regulator, connect an external power supply or power monitor/analyzer device, and
use a host PC to monitor the system current directly.
This option is useful for automated test setups with a host PC controlling the full
system supply voltage range (via GPIB commands) to cover RF certification.
The following snapshots clarify the detailed pin location of the jumpers involved for a
typical SW Developers Use mode: PL111 and PL112, without the need for sense resistors
and/or external ampere meter presence in the supply path.
The jumper positions colored in green are suggested.

Auxiliary Supply
To avoid interference between the VBAT current path of interest, (i.e. the current actually
drawn by the Telit module), and the current drawn by peripherals in the system. The
VBAT_AUX supply path can be isolated from the actual current path of the Telit module.
VBAT_AUX supplies the following subsystems:

• A-Star remote control module (also supplied from the main input supply if system
supply control from A-star GPIO is needed)
• I/O connectors
• MicroSD card supply (3.0V)
• Status LEDs
• GNSS external LNA supply
• Class D audio amplifier
• Cool fan supply
• Expansion board
For maximum flexibility, a 2x3 jumper setup (PL109/PL110) allows to select the
VBAT_AUX supply from 3 possible sources:
• Main system supply VBAT (= module supply): PL110 position 2 _ P109 position 2
• DCDC buck SMPS convertor output: PL109 position 1-2
• Battery charger output CHG_BAT: PL109 position 2-3

Battery Charging
The Telit EVB includes a built-in battery that can be optionally installed. The battery can
be used during field trials, drive tests, and also for demos. In addition, it can be useful
during tests where a power cut is not desired.
The battery is charged using the TI BQ24261MRGER Charger IC.
The BQ24261MRGER is controlled via the A-Star Arduino I2C and enabled by Arduino
GPIO0.
• Pull GPIO0 low to enable charging.
• Pull GPIO0 high to disable charging and place the charger in HZ mode.
The BQ24261MRGER slave address is 0xD6.
Charging control and monitoring is done by the A-Star FW and requires the A-Star to be
present.
The charging circuit includes a status LED and 2 indications. For more information, refer
to Section Battery Charger on p.24.

• Normally, the user presses this button to power OFF the module, allowing graceful
software-controlled power-off.
4.2.2. Reset
Normally, the RESET button is connected to the main Reset of the module in use.
4.2.3. Shutdown (SHDN)
On some modules, pressing the SHDN button triggers the PMIC device to execute a
“forced” power supply shutdown (without allowing the software to end all ongoing activities
on the modem device properly). It is comparable to a system power cut, but is not entirely
the same, since the PMIC still follows the proper power-off cycle started with a modem
reset assertion.1
4.2.4. ECALL
For automotive modules, the ECALL button (connected to TGPIO_20) can be used to
trigger an ECALL event. On some modules, this button has dual functionality and can be
used during boot to trigger/force the module into SW download mode.
connectivity inside the IFBD.
4.2.5. EMERGENCY BOOT
connectivity inside the IFBD.
This button is relevant for specific modules while on others, it is simply not connected or
can be used for other purposes.
In those specific modules, holding down the EMERGENCY BOOT button during module
power-up will force the module to enter into the chipset bootloader (during execution of
chipset BootROM).
1 The Arduino A-star controller board has full control over the on_off control pin of the DCDC
regulator of the EVB power circuitry.
Using this way to power off the system is a “real” system power cut simulation, compared to SHDN.

4.2.6. Remote Controlling of the Buttons
Instead of by physical pressing, the ON/OFF, RESET, and SHDN buttons can also be
soft-controlled from the A-star controller board, according to the following signal mapping
table.

A single red status LED provides feedback on the BQ24261M charger device status as
follows:
• During charging, the LED is turned on.

• If charging is complete or disabled, the LED turns off.
Figure 12 illustrates the LED position.
Figure 12: Charger Status LED
In addition to the LED, the charger has 2 indication signals that can also be sensed by the
A-star controller board, according to the following signal mapping:

Besides the already mentioned control and sense functions of the A-star controller board,
there are a few switches impacting the A-star module itself:
• SW306: Reset button of the A-star module
• SW304: 2pin-dipswitch to (optionally) define (up to) four A-star SW configuration
modes
GPS LNA Control
The generic EVB supports 2 options for providing and controlling the GPS LNA / Active
antenna using PL409.
Figure 13: GPS LNA Control
The options are as follows:

• Setting the PL409 jumper to 1-3 (upper left side) will constantly enable the LNA
using the EVB on-board power supply.
• Setting the PL409 jumper to 3-5 (lower left side) will enable the LNA to be
controlled by a GPIO of the module.

EVB HW User Guide Interfaces
Doc#: 1VV0301249 SIM Interface
5. Interfaces
SIM Interface
Most Telit modules offer a dual SIM interface - SIM1 and SIM2. Some of them have an
embedded eSIM chip implemented in parallel on the SIM1 interface bus, adding an
additional eSIM_RST signal defined on the module pinout interface.
The EVB allows for maximum flexibility by providing the following options for interfacing
the SIM devices:
• SIM1 cardholder multiplexed with an EVB on-board embedded “Test eSIM” chip
• SIM2 cardholder
Both SIM1 and SIM2 card holders are of the push-push type and support a full-size SIM.
To avoid SIM1 bus conflicts, each SIM placeholder has a 200k pulldown on its RST line,
keeping the SIM device in that location in reset status. The modem-sourced RST signal
activates the SIM device in use by overruling the pulldown connected according to the
multiplex path configuration.
The section below describes the possible SIM configurations:
5.1.1. SIM1+eSIM Configuration (PL202)
PL202 defines which SIM card is physically connected to the SIM1 port:
• SIM1 port is connected inside the module, i.e. an eSIM chip inside the cellular
module is used: PL202 position 1-2
• SIM1 port uses the EVB SIM1_cardholder /or/ EVB on-board eSIM chip2: PL202
position 2-3
Figure 14: PL202 for SIM1 Using the Module-internal eSIM Chip
2
The eSIM on the EVB is a “Test eSIM”, i.e. it allows the connection to test equipment
(base station simulator) but not to a real life network (except using emergency mode).
Rev. 1.0 Page 26 of 60 2020-04-09

Doc#: 1VV0301249 SIM Interface
Figure 15: PL202 for SIM1 Port Using the EVB SIM1 Cardholder or EVB On-board Test
eSIM
5.1.1.1. EVB SIM1 Configuration (PL201)
NOTE:
The configuration below is valid only if PL202 is in position 2-3.
PL201 defines the actual EVB SIM connected to SIM1 port.

• SIM1 port is connected to SIM1 cardholder: PL201 position 1-2
• SIM1 port is connected to the EVB on-board eSIM chip: PL201 position 2-3
Figure 16: SIM1 Port Using SIM1 Cardholder PL201
Figure 17: SIM1 Port Using the EVB External eSIM Chip PL201
For test purposes, the EVB on-board A-star controller board can control a SPDT switch
(U206) to automate (emulate) SIM card removal detection use cases. This switch can
change the status of the SIMIN1 detect line to “not connected”, actually simulating a SIM
card removal to the software.
To enable this control, place Jumper PL302, connecting the A-star interface (pin D8) to
SIMCTRL. If PL302 is not placed, SIMCTRL is set to 1, which is the default setting.

5.1.2. SIM2
The SIM2 port is not configurable and is directly connected to the SIM2 cardholder
(SO201), which is located on the bottom side of the EVB (under the SIM1 holder).
USB Interface
The EVB provides a HS USB connection to the Telit module USB port to support the use
cases below:
• Flash/update firmware
• Data connection port
• Diagnostics
The EVB supports USB3.0 for compatibility with future Telit modules.
The Micro USB AB connector is located on the EVB main board.
Besides routing the USB bus to this main connector, there is a second USB path available
towards the extension connector SO506, which allows designing extension cards with
USB connection to the USB port of the module.
The active USB path used is defined by the multiplexer switch (refer to Figure 18) which is
controlled via a jumper or a GPIO.
By default, Jumper PL204 is in position 2-3, which means that the USB switch is forced to
allow USB connectivity between the EVB USB connector and the Telit module as shown
below.
Figure 18: USB Connectivity Jumper
If dynamic control is required, set PL204 to position 1-2. In this case, the switch will be
controlled by TGPIO_02 of the Telit module.
Rev. 1.0 Page 28 of 60 2020-04-09

UART Interface
The EVB includes two generic UART interfaces:

• UART1 – 4-wire UART
• UART2 - Auxiliary UART with 2 pins
On the EVB, both UART interfaces are routed to a dual serial-USB convertor FT2232D,
accessible via mini-B USB connector SO301.
The actual mapping of the module’s UART interfaces to the EVB UART ports is defined in
the IFBD. Refer to the IFBD User Guide for more information.
Micro SD Card Interface
The EVB provides a Micro-SD card socket (SO204) for cases where the Telit module
supports an SD Card interface.
The EVB supports a 4-bit dual-voltage (1.8/2.95V) SD card interface.
The EVB main board allows SD 3.0 at up to 200 MHz SDR / 50 MHz DDR.
The actual speed and voltage support is determined by the module in use and the IFBD
connectivity.
The EVB supports card detection as well.
On top of the digital SD interface lines, the module also provides a reference supply
(VMMC) for the external pullup resistors3.
The power supply of the memory card must be sourced externally using the on-board
3.0V linear regulator (U205). The Regulator Enable pin, which is active HIGH, is
connected to VMMC.
JTAG Interface
For debugging the SW code level with a JTAG pod, the standard 20-pin header connector
PL203 gives access to the module chipset JTAG interface.
3SD card pull-ups by default are present on EVB, but can be omitted if such pull-ups are available
within the module (either on-board or chipset-internal).

Class D Amplifier
For demos, a Class D audio amplifier is provided on the EVB, using the LM48511 from TI
with the following conditions:
• Supplied from VBAT_AUX
• Amplification gain is set by external set resistors: Default gain is 1
• FB_SEL= 0 High voltage setting:
o R3 = 24k
o R4 = 2.4k
o R1 = 4.87k
This results in PV1 = 7.3V
• Typical PWR_OUT (THDN 1%) for VBAT_AUX = 3.6V: 2.5W at 8 Ohm / 4W at
4 Ohm
The amplifier is enabled by default. To disable it, set Jumper PL409 to Position 2-4.
Figure 36: Class D Amplifier Disabled PL409
The output of the amplifier can be connected to a speaker (4 Ohm, 8 Ohm) via connector

EVB HW User Guide Thermal Monitoring & Cooling
Doc#: 1VV0301249 Thermal Monitoring
7. Thermal Monitoring & Cooling

Thermal Monitoring
Normally, the Interface board contains a 10k NTC thermistor, which is placed on the top-
layer GND plane, close to the module boundary. The measured NTC temperature should
reflect the module’s backside temperature.
The readout of the thermistor is done via the ADC feature of the A-star controller board,
interface pin AIN0.
A 10k pullup resistor is connected to the 5V A-star IO supply, resulting in resistive division,
having a typical ADC readout nominal around 2.5V, at 25°C.
Cooling
To provide cooling to the Telit module (via the module’s bottom plate), a cool-fan and an
heatsink combination can be attached on the backside of the IFBD.
The cool-fan and heatsink combination targeted for this application is:
• Any 40x40x10mm PWM compatible 5V fan
• ATS-55350D-C2-R0 (35x35x9.5mm) heatsink from Advanced Thermal Solutions
Inc.
The cool-fan and heatsink mechanical attachment is part of the plastics housing concept,
custom-designed for the complete Development Kit. A dedicated fan supply is present on
the EVB, controlled by the A-star controller board.

Extension Connector
As described above, the EVB features can be extended by adding / designing extension
cards, which are then plugged into the SO506 connector of the EVB main board.
The detailed pin allocation of the extension connector is shown in the table below.
The actual functionality of each signal is determined by the specific module in use and by
the specific extension card. Signal names and signal functionality are likely to change
across platforms.
Refer to the relevant extension card HW User Guide.
