    UT986 Evaluation Board User Manual 1 Product Overview UT986eb is the evaluation board (EB) of UT986. It consists of the module UT986, a 3.3V low dropout regulator (LDO), a 5V DC/DC boost circuit, an antenna short protection circuit and peripheral interfaces.
  • Page 7 Figure 1-2 Top View of UT986eb (1) Silkscreen: It marks the signals of the pins. The smaller holes around are used to mount the UT986 socket. The printing adopts exposed copper to ensure the flatness of the surface. (2) UT986 module: The pin pads are designed long, which is convenient for soldering, testing and debugging.

  • Page 15: Antenna Circuit

    4 Antenna Circuit Antenna Short Protection Circuit The antenna short protection circuit consists of a load management chip and peripheral circuits. 5 V DC/DC circuit output feeds the antenna via the chip. When the antenna current is larger than 100 mA, the circuit triggers a short protection and FLAGB gives a low level indication.
  • Page 16: Antenna Feed Circuit

    UT986 Evaluation Board User Manual Antenna Feed Circuit The antenna feed circuit consists of the anti-reverse current design, anti-surge design, filter inductors, and ESD protection. Removing R45 and soldering R46, the antenna short protection circuit is bypassed. Then you can use the 5 V DC/DC circuit output directly to feed the antenna.
