2. OVERVIEW

Rapid IoT Developmet Kit is a system that reduces the length of IoT prototyping cycles from
a matter weeks or months to mere hours - all by capitalizing on the combination of
embedded IoT software and hardware, designed to provide the complete development
environment to the user and intended to be used with add-on boards (Raspberry Pi, Arduino
and TI Launchpad). The aim of this document is the description of the Development Kit
hardware solution along with the interface of add-on boards being useful for developing an
IoT hardware prototyping as fast as possible.

The information presented in this document is believed to be accurate and reliable.
However, no responsibility is assumed by Telit Communications S.p.A. for its use, nor any
infringement of patents or other rights of third parties which may result from its use. No
license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent rights of Telit
Communications S.p.A. other than for circuitry embodied in Telit products. This document

4. POWER SUPPLY

Power Supply Requirements

The EVK4 can be powered by three different power sources.

4.1.1. External DC power supply. PL601 Barrel Connector

4.1.2. USB power supply. PL303 Mini-B USB Connector

4.1.3. Polymer Lithium Ion Battery. PL701 Connector

NOTE:

1. The Operating Voltage Range MUST never be exceeded. If the voltage
drop is exceeding the limits it could cause a Power Off to the cellular
module.

2. The EVK4 can source power to the add-on boards in Booster pack mode
(4.1V) mainly for portable applications with the battery.
