Scope This document is applicable to N75 series. It defines the features, indicators, and test standards of the N75 module and provides reference for the hardware design of each interface. Reference designs in this document are only for reference. Customers should design applications based on the actual scenarios and conditions.Please contact Neoway FAE if you have any question or...
GNSS functions, N75 is well applicable to wireless metering terminals, in-vehicle terminals, POS, industrial routers, and other IoT terminals. 1.1 Product Overview N75 series include multiple variants. Table 1-1 lists the variants and frequency bands supported. Table 1-1 Variant and frequency bands Variant...
Hardware User Guide 3 Application Interfaces N75 provides power supply, control, communications, network and connection, RF, and other interfaces to meet customers requirements in different application scenarios. This chapter describes how to design each interface and provides reference designs and guidelines.
The power supply design covers two parts: schematic design and PCB layout. Schematic Design Design the circuit of the power supply for N75 based on the input voltage you choose.Generally there are three types of input voltages: 3.3V-4.3V (3.8 V typically, output by battery) ⚫...
ON/OFF button Triggered by low level (recommended) N750 provides PWRKEY_N and RESET_N to power up and reset the module respectively. 3.2.1 PWRKEY_N N75 allows startup by the following controls: Button ⚫ ⚫ The values of R1 and R2 are determined by the IO domain of MCU. The voltage across the base of the triode should not exceed 1.8V.
If you use a 2.8V/3.3V IO system, it is recommended to add a triode to separate it. For details, refer to 3.2.2 RESET_N. For how to power off through software, see Neoway_N75_AT_Command_Manual. Figure 3-9 N75 on/off timing Power Power Inactive...
USIM1 detect A pull-up resistor is recommended N75 provides one USIM1 interface by default. USIM2 interface is a multiplex function of Ethernet interface and compatible with 1.8V/2.85V USIM card. For details, see Section 3.7 MUX Interfaces. Figure 3-15 shows the reference design of the USIM card interface.
Connect a 20 Ω resistor respectively to USIM_DATA, USIM_RESET, USIM_CLK, and ⚫ USIM_DET in series to enhance the ESD performance. N75 supports USIM card detection. USIM_DET is a 1.8V interrupt pin. ⚫ The UIM detection circuit works by checking the levels across the USIM_DET pin before and after a UIM card is inserted.
UART5 data receiving Used for data transmission N75 provides one UART interface. To support hardware flow control, multiplex pin 51 and pin 52 as UART5_CTS and UART5_RTS. UART interfaces support 4 Mbps at most. The level at the interfaces 1.8V. To use multiple UART interfaces, see Section 3.7 MUX Interfaces. Figure 3-16 and Figure 3-17 show the reference designs of the UART interfaces.
N75 module Schematic Guidelines If the levels of N75 and CODEC do not match, add a level shift circuit as shown in 3.3.4. ⚫ Leave I2S_MCLK floating in your application if it is not required for the CODEC chipset selected.
Note the SPI signal direction. ⚫ If the levels of slave SPI device and N75 do not match, add a level shifting circuit. Refer to ⚫ Figure 3-20 if the SPI speed does not exceed 20 MHz. Select other high-speed level shifting chipsets if the speed exceeds 20 MHz.
I2C_SDA DATA Schematic Guidelines If the levels of slave I2C device and N75 do not match, add a level shifting circuit. Refer to ⚫ Figure 3-20. Some pins can be multiplexed for I2C function. Connect external pull-up resistors to these pins ⚫...
SGMII receive plus Leave this pin floating if it is not used. SGMII interface is used for Ethernet connection. The SGMII interface provided by N75 Open Linux complies with ENG46158 Rev1.8. For its timing and electric parameters, see the definition in the standard.
N75 communicates with Bluetooth chipset through UART for data transmission. To use Bluetooth audio, connect one set of PCM signals (pins 65 to 68). See section 3.7 MUX Interfaces. Figure 3-45 shows the Bluetooth connection.
Diversity antenna 3.5.1 ANT_MAIN/ANT_DIV antenna interface MAIN_ANT and DIV_ANT of N75 require a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω. Developers should control the impedance of the traces between the pins and antenna to ensure the RF performance. An impedance matching circuit, such as L network, T network, or pi network is mandatory in between. Pi network is recommended.
Lay copper foil around RF connector. Dig as many ground holes as possible on the copper to ⚫ ensure lowest grounding impedance. The trace between N75 and the antenna connector, should be as short as possible. Control the ⚫ trace impedance to 50Ω.
Figure 3-49 Recommended RF PCB design 1 3.5.2 ANT_GNSS Interface GPS Impedance Control ANT_GNSS (92) is the GNSS RF interface of N75, which requires a characteristic impedance of 50Ω. Figure 3-50 shows the GNSS structure inside the module. Figure 3-50 GNSS RF structure...
GPIO with interrupt the module is started. N75 provides 4 GPIO pins, two among which support interrupt. Do not connect GPIO_78 or GPIO_79 to the power supply through a pull-up resistor before the module is started. Otherwise, the module will enter download mode forcibly once detecting high level or current input at this pin during startup.

⚫ 6.3 Pack N75 modules are packaged in sealed vacuum bags with dryer, humidity card, and tray on delivery to guarantee a long shelf life. Follow the same package method again in case of opened for any reasons. 6.3.1 Reel&Tape N75 in mass production are shipped in the following package.
Hardware User Guide Reel 6.3.2 Moisture N75 is a level 3 moisture-sensitive electronic elements, in compliance with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standard. If the module is exposed to air for more than 48 hours at conditions not worse than 30°C/60% RH, bake it at a temperature higher than 90 degree for more than 12 hours before SMT.Or, if the indication card shows humidity greater than 20%, the baking procedure is also required.Do not bake modules...
Neoway will not provide warranty for heat-responsive element abnormalities caused by improper temperature control. For information about cautions in N75 storage and mounting, refer to Neoway Module Reflow Manufacturing Recommendations. When manually desoldering the module, use heat guns with great opening, adjust the temperature to 250 degrees (depending on the type of the solder paste), and heat the module till the solder paste is melt.
