2. OVERVIEW

The aim of this document is the description of some hardware solutions useful for
developing a product with the Telit WE866 module. In this document all the basic functions
of a mobile phone will be taken into account; for each one of them a proper hardware
solution will be suggested and eventually the wrong solutions and common errors to be
avoided will be 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 WE866 module. For further
hardware details that may not be explained in this document refer to the Telit WE866
Product Description document where all the hardware information is reported.

(EN) The integration of theWE866 cellular module within user

application shall be done according to the design rules described in
this manual.

(IT) L’integrazione del modulo cellulare WE866 all’interno
dell’applicazione dell’utente dovrà rispettare le indicazioni progettuali
descritte in questo manuale.

(DE) Die Integration des WE866 Mobilfunk-Moduls in ein Gerät muß
gemäß der in diesem Dokument beschriebenen Kunstruktionsregeln
erfolgen.

(SL) Integracija WE866 modula v uporabniški aplikaciji bo morala
upoštevati projektna navodila, opisana v tem priročniku.

(SP) La utilización del modulo WE866 debe ser conforme a los usos
para los cuales ha sido deseñado descritos en este manual del
usuario.

Warning – Reserved pins must not be connected.

Warning – VDD output must not be used to supply any device on the
customer application.

It is only provided as reference/supply voltage when voltage translation
to 1V8 CMOS is needed.

When its use is necessary, it is strongly recommended to connect
VAUX through a series resistor as closed as possible to the module in
order to reduce the inrush current of the internal DC/DC supply. Use a
low value resistor (e.g. 10 ohm, 1/3W) with a maximum power rating
to drained current.
