SE867-AGPS User Guide 1VV0300860 Rev. 3 - 2010-05-10 Electrical description Having power supply circuitry, RF path and board layout properly designed is key to get a successfully application design. So, the below requirements and guidelines have to be carefully read and taken into account for correct device operations.

SE867-AGPS User Guide 1VV0300860 Rev. 3 - 2010-05-10 Figure 1 Power supply connections for configuration 1 The voltage ranges for this configu ratio n are: Voltage 2.5V 4.2V V_IO 2.7V 3.3V VDD_REG_IN 3.6V The condition VDD_REG_IN V_IO must be satisfied for every module power mode (included power save modes).
SE867-AGPS User Guide 1VV0300860 Rev. 3 - 2010-05-10 5.1.2. Configuration 2 This configuration is similar to the previous one with the difference t hat the V_IO is now set to 1.8V and the I/O logic levels have changed consequently. This change in the V_IO levels requires also a change in the IOVDD_AIN supply.
SE867-AGPS User Guide 1VV0300860 Rev. 3 - 2010-05-10 5.1.3. Configuration 3 In this configuration, the internal regulators are bypassed and th e module power consumption is reduced. The internal LDO must be disabled via 1V8_DIG_EN and 1V8_RF_EN signals and to separate 1.8V supplies must be connect ed to the 1V8_DIG and 1V8_RF pins.

1VV0300860 Rev. 3 - 2010-05-10 5.2. Power-On Sequence A few rules must be respected when powering the SE867-AGPS mod ule. When using a configuration with a 3V power supply on the V_IO pin attention must be paid in order to avoid asserting V_IO when the 1V8_DIG is not asserted as well.

If EM noisy devices are NOT placed close to the PCB hosting the SE867-AGPS, the antenna line should be realized in microstrip technology (signal trace on the top or bottom layer with only one reference GND plane, plus coplanar GND guard trace parallel to the signal trace), in order to reduce the ohmic losses of the trace.
The PPS signal outputs a precise reference timing pulse with frequency 1Hz and length 100ms. For pulse voltage level please refers to paragraph 5.3. The SE867-AGPS module requires an external 32.768 kHz crystal connected to RTC_IN and RTC_OUT balls in order to generate the Real Time Clock. The suggested crystal load capacitance and frequency tolerance are reported in the table below: Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A.
V_IO line (such a network has already been implemented inside the module), but V_IO can not be supplied before 1V8_DIG. For the same reasons all the input signals coming to the SE867-AGPS must be driven low when 1V8_DIG is not present.
