Foreword This manual provides information on the hardware composition and design of UM982eb (evaluation board). Target Readers This document is written for technicians who are familiar with GNSS modules.
1 Product Overview UM982eb is the evaluation board for UM982 and it consists of the UM982 module, a 3.3 V low dropout regulator (LDO), a 5V DC/DC boost circuit, two antenna short protection circuits and peripheral interfaces. The schematic of the UM982eb can be used as the reference design for the UM982 module.

UM982eb User Manual 3 Power Supply The power supply of the UM982eb is input from the VIN pin, passing through a circuit with surge protection and filter capacitors, to provide power for the 3.3 V LDO circuit and 5 V DC/DC boost circuit.
3.1 3.3V LDO Power Supply VCC outputs 3.3 V voltage after passing through the LDO circuit to provide power to UM982eb. 0805 TPS7A8101DRB 0805 Vout=0.8*(1+16/5.1)=3.31V Dropout Voltage: 170mV@1A Figure 3-3 3.3V LDO Circuit Notes: The rated output current of LDO should be more than twice the maximum operating current of UM982.
UM982eb User Manual 3.2 5V DC/DC Power Supply VCC outputs 5 V voltage after passing through the DC/DC boost circuit to feed the antenna. LT3467AIDDB Vout=1.225*(1+16/5.1)=5.07V Figure 3-4 5V DC/DC Boost Circuit Note: You can choose whether to use the 5 V power on the board to feed the antenna according to the antenna type.
The input range of V_BCKP is 2.0 V to 3.6 V. MS621T-FL11E Figure 3-5 Backup Power Circuit Figure 3-6 Backup Power Circuit on the Bottom of UM982eb Note: The power supply for V_BCKP can be provided by the backup battery. The circuit that...
UM982eb User Manual V_BCKP. The backup battery may run out of power if it is not used for a long time, so it is recommended to charge the evaluation board for more than two hours when you first use it.
ESD protection. Removing R77 and R6 and soldering R79 and R8, you can directly use the 5 V power to supply the antenna. In this condition, the antenna short protection circuit on UM982eb will be bypassed. The ESD protection diode should support high-frequency signal (above 2000 MHz).

The GND pads at the bottom of the module should be grounded to ensure heat dissipation. The UM982eb has copper exposed on the bottom of the UM982 module, which not only enhances heat dissipation, but also provides a large area for grounding and is convenient to test.
UM982eb User Manual 7 Debug Support As mentioned above, TP1 and TP10 can be used to connect an external power to supply VCCIN and V_BCKP and to measure the supply voltage and current. TP2, TP4, TP6 and TP8 are used for internal debugging, of which TP6 and TP8 can be used to debug I J1 and J2 are used for MMCX connection.
The silkscreen markings on the right of the test points are arranged in order to identify the function of each port. Figure 7-2 Through-Hole Test Points on UM982eb Appendix Schematic of UM982eb UC-08-M31 EN R1.0 Appendix...
