2. Overview
In this document all the basic functions of a mobile phone are
taken into account; for each one of them a proper hardware
solution is suggested and eventually the wrong solutions and
common errors to be avoided are evidenced. Obviously this
document cannot embrace the whole hardware solutions and
products that may be designed. The wrong solutions to be
avoided shall be considered as mandatory, while the suggested
hardware configurations shall not be considered mandatory,
instead the information given shall be used as a guide and a
starting point for properly developing your product with the
Telit GE864-QUAD V2/GPS and/or GC864-QUAD V2 modules. For
further hardware details that may not be explained in this
document refer to the Telit GE864-QUAD V2/GPS and GC864-QUAD
V2 Product Description document where all the hardware
information is reported.

4.2.2. GC864-QUAD V2 Antenna Connector
The GC864-QUAD V2 module is equipped with a 50 ohm RF
connector from Murata, GSC type P/N MM9329-2700B.
The counterpart suitable is Murata MXTK92 Type or MXTK88 Type.
Moreover, the GC864-QUAD V2 has the antenna pads on the back
side of the PCB. This allows the manual soldering of the
coaxial cable directly on the back side of the PCB. However,
the soldering is not an advisable solution for a reliable
connection of the antenna.

5. Hardware Commands
5.1. Turning ON the GE/GC864-QUAD V2 and GE864-
GPS
To turn ON the GE/GC864-QUAD V2 AND GE864-GPS the pad ON# must
be tied low for at least 1 second and then released. Pulse
duration less than 1000ms should also start the power on
procedure, but this is not guaranteed.
When the power supply voltage is lower than 3.4V the pad ON#
must be tied low for at least 4 seconds.
The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pad is
0.1 mA.
A simple circuit to do it is:
NOTE:
Don't use any pull up resistor on the ON# line, it is
internally pulled up. Using pull up resistor may bring to
latch up problems on the module, power regulator and improper
power on/off of the module. The line ON# must be connected
only in open collector configuration.
NOTE:
In this document all the lines that are inverted, hence have
active low signals are labeled with a name that ends with a
"#".

1vv0300915 Rev.2 – 2011-06-15
TIP:
To check if the device has powered on, the hardware line
PWRMON should be monitored. After 1000ms the line raised up
the device could be considered powered on.
NOTE:
When the power supply voltage is lower than 3.4V, to turn ON
the module, the pad ON# must be tied low for at least 3
seconds.
For example:
1- Let us assume you need to drive the ON# pad with a totem
pole output from +1.8V up to 5V microcontroller:
2- Let us assume you need to drive the ON# pad directly with an
ON/OFF button:

NOTE:
In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to
avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the
digital pins of the module when is powered OFF or during an
ON/OFF transition.

displayed below:

5.2. Turning OFF the GE/GC864-QUAD V2 and GE864
GPS
The turning off of the device can be done in two ways:
• via AT command (see Software User Guide AT#SHDN)
• by tying low pin ON#
Either ways, when the device issues a detach request to the
network informing that the device will not be reachable any
more.
To turn OFF the module the pad ON# must be tied low for at
least 2 seconds 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# pad.
The following flow chart shows the proper turnoff procedure:
