FN990 TLB Hardware Design Guide 1. INTRODUCTION Scope This document describes the FN990 TLB which is part of complete FN990 Development Kit (Dev-Kit) Audience This document is intended for system integrators that are using the Telit module in their product.
FN990 TLB Hardware Design Guide Note/Tip: Provides advice and suggestions that may be useful when integrating the module. Electro-static Discharge: Notifies the user to take proper grounding precautions before handling the product. Table 1: Symbol Conventions All dates are in ISO 8601 format, that is YYYY-MM-DD.
Telit Generic Evaluation Board (EVB) thus forming the complete Development Kit of FN990. The TLB provides the mapping of Telit module signals and functions into the generic EVB signals and functions. The TLB design of the FN990 TLB includes the following items: • FN990 module •...

FN990 TLB Hardware Design Guide If you want to run FN990 as RC using PCIe 64pin connector, you need to move 4 optional resistors referring to the figure below. Figure 16: PCIe End Point Figure 17: PCIe Root Complex 1VV0301753 Rev. 1...
FN990 TLB Hardware Design Guide Guidance for Evaluation Board The EVB can be configured for different power supply sources depending on the required use case. 2.7.1. Direct Supply Mode (Bypass) Direct supply mode is for advanced users (typically, hardware designers) who need to provide supply voltage directly to the module.
Note: In order to use DC-DC mode, please place a jumper ‘12V PWR’. Don’t need to switch 3.3 V / 3.8 V on EVB 2.0 because FN990 TLB is SMART TLB. The voltage is automatically set (that is AVS, Automatic Voltage Selection is implemented).
