2. OVERVIEW
The Telit Evaluation Kit (EVK2) provides a robust, future-proof and flexible environment to
streamline all application development based on Telit GSM/GPRS, UMTS/HSPA, CDMA
1x/EV-DO, and LTE module families, significantly reducing time-to-market.
The EVK2 kit includes a motherboard where to connect the Interface board of a Telit
module.
This concept allows the EVK2 to be used across various form factors and product
generations, both present and future.
The motherboard includes the basic interfaces such as power input, SIM card holder,
audio monitor outputs, RS-232, and USB; as well as a Reset button and power switch.
The circuit implemented in the EVK2 motherboard is based on the recommended
reference design for the module's peripheral components and I/O connections.
Adapter boards are available for all the different module families.
The interface boards convert the module connection technology (board-to-board or BGA
soldering) into a PTH pin connector. The part of the basic interfaces is served by the
motherboard, whereas specific interfaces according to the type of the module (antenna,
general purpose inputs/outputs GPIO, ADC/DAC, UART) are available on the adapter
board to connect it to the user applications, extension boards, measurements equipment
or other tools.
All connections are made through 2x40 contacts connectors.
It is possible to use these Interface Boards also in stand-alone mode, inserting the “not
mounted” components (related to RESET BUTTON, ON BUTTON, SIM HOLDER and
STATUS LED functions) plus the use of an external level translator circuit.
This document is describing the available Adapter Boards for the modules based on the
xE866 form factor.
