Introduction

1.1 Scope

1.2 Purpose

1.3 Audience

1.4 Contact Information, Support

This document is a technical specifi cat ion for Telit’s next generation form factor M.2 module family. The next generation form factor M.2 module family is a natural transition from the PCI Express Mini Card and Half Mini Card to a smaller form factor size. The M.2 Card Type 3042 offers single sided component mounting, 75 pins (8 dedicated for key), in a compact size (30 mm x 42 mm). A range of 2G/3G/4G (LTE) M.2 modules supporting multiple operating systems and unique features in the WWAN Card Type 3042 form factor are available.

1VV0301078 Rev.6 – 2013-11-12

The document will cover the features of the M.2 modules presently available. It will also identify the M.2 module application interface along with hardware, software, reliability, and mechanical specifications.

The intent of this document is to provide design guidelines and information for each M.2 module. In addition to the M.2 module family features and performance metrics, this document describes the interface signals, operating conditions, physical and mechanical requirements of the M.2 cards.

This document is intended for editors who are about to write or edit documentation for Telit.

2.3 Host Interface Signals

1VV0301078 Rev.6 – 2013-11-12

Note that the M.2 module has all components mounted on the top side. Odd pin numbers are on the top side while even pins on the bottom side.

Figure 4 Detailed Interconnection of M.2 LTE Modem RF Engine

This section describes the signals available to the host processor at the 75 pin application interface. Eight signals are eliminated by the notch on the host connector, leaving 67 usable signals. A diagram of the M.2 module identifying the 75 pin interface is shown in Figure 5.

A complete description of all interface signals available at the host interface is listed in Table

4. Some features, such as GNSS and Antenna Tuning, are not available on every M.2 module. On those modules, the signals at the application interface are not connected on the M.2 module.
