    Telit GM862-GPS modules. For further hardware details that may not be explained in this document refer to the GM862-GPS/-QUAD-PY Product Description document where all the hardware information is reported. NOTE: In this document all the hardware solution are referenced to the GM862-GPS.
  • Page 5: Hardware Commands

    Hardware Commands 2.1 Turning ON the GM862-GPS To turn on the GM862-GPS the pin ON# must be tied low for at least 1 second and then released. The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pin is 0,1 mA.
  • Page 6 GM862-GPS Hardware User Guide 1vv0300728 Rev. 0 - 27/04/06 For example: 1- Let's assume you need to drive the ON# pin with a totem pole output of a +3/5 V microcontroller (uP_OUT1): 2- Let's assume you need to drive the ON# pin directly with an ON/OFF button: Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S.p.A.
  • Page 7: Turning Off The Gm862-Gps

    2.2.1 Hardware shutdown To turn OFF the GM862-GPS the pin ON# must be tied low for at least 1 second and then released. The same circuitry and timing for the power on shall be used. The device shuts down after the release of the ON# pin.
  • Page 8: Hardware Unconditional Reboot

    NOTE: don't use any pull up resistor on the RESET# line nor any totem pole digital output. Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the GM862-GPS power regulator and improper functioning of the module. The line RESET# must be connected only in open collector configuration.

    The power supply circuitry and board layout are the most 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. 3.1 Power Supply Requirements The GM862-GPS power requirements are: • Nominal Supply Voltage: •...

    5% or less. This last phase is not implemented in the GM862-GPS internal charging algorithm, so that the battery once charged is left discharging down to a certain threshold so that it is cycled from full charge to slight discharge even if the battery charger is always inserted.
  • Page 16 5°C - 45°C. The GM862-GPS measures the temperature of its internal component, in order to satisfy this last requirement, it's not exactly the same as the battery temperature but in common application the two temperature should not differ too much and the charging temperature range should be guaranteed.
  • Page 17: Thermal Design Guidelines

    For these reasons the thermal design is rarely a concern and the simple ground plane where the power supply chip is placed can be enough to ensure a good thermal condition and avoid overheating.

  • Page 18: Power Supply Pcb Layout Guidelines

    • The Bypass low ESR capacitor must be placed close to the Telit GM862-GPS power input pins or in the case the power supply is a switching type it can be placed close to the inductor to cut the ripple provided the PCB trace from the capacitor to the GM862-GPS is wide enough to ensure a dropless connection even during the 2A current peaks.
  • Page 19: Serial Ports

    The GPS Serial Port is a 3 wire (RX, TX GND) +2.8V UART. The MODEM serial port on the GM862-GPS is a +2.8V UART with all the 7 RS232 signals. It differs from the PC-RS232 in the signal polarity (RS232 is reversed) and levels. The levels for the GM862-...
  • Page 20 RI - ri_uart NOTE: According to V.24, RX/TX signal names are referred to the application side, therefore on the GM862-GPS side these signal are on the opposite direction: TXD on the application side will be connected to the receive line (here named TXD/ rx_uart ) of the GM862-GPS serial port and viceversa for RX.
  • Page 21: Level Translation

    IC shall not be powered by the +3.8V supply of the module. Instead it shall be powered from a +2.8V / +3.0V (dedicated) power supply. This is because in this way the level translator IC outputs on the module side (i.e. GM862-GPS inputs) will work at +3.8V interface levels, stressing the module inputs at its maximum input voltage.
  • Page 22 GM862-GPS Hardware User Guide 1vv0300728 Rev. 0 - 27/04/06 An example of level translation circuitry of this kind is: 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 Right reserved...

  • Page 24 1vv0300728 Rev. 0 - 27/04/06 NOTE: The UART input line TXD (rx_uart) of the GM862-GPS is NOT internally pulled up with a resistor, so there may be the need to place an external 47KΩ pull-up resistor, either the DTR (dtr_uart) and RTS (rts_uart) input lines are not pulled up internally, so an external pull-up resistor of 47KΩ...

This capacitor can be placed close to the MIC- pad (MIC_HF- or MIC_MT- depending on the audio path chosen) or if possible it should be placed close to the shielded cable connector.

    The three groups have different power requirements, usually the first two applications need only few mW of power, which can be directly drained from the GM862-GPS pads, provided a suited speaker is used. This direct connect design is the cheaper and simpler solution and will be suited for the most of the earphone design requirements.
