Interface Application

This chapter describes the hardware interfaces of UMTS&LTE EVB, shown as follows:



Power interface



UMTS&LTE TE-A interface



Wi-Fi & Ethernet TE-A interface



USB interface



Audio interfaces



USIM card interface



SD card interface



UART interfaces

It also provides information about the buttons, switch, status indication LEDs and test points to help

customers use the UMTS&LTE EVB.

4.1. Power Interface (J201/J801)

The UMTS&LTE EVB can be powered by an external power adapter through connecting with the power

jack (J201) or USB receptacle (J801) on the EVB. The power adapter connects to a step-down converter

which can provide the supply voltage (VBAT) required for operating the EVB and the module.

The following two figures show the simplified power supply schematic and the power interface of Quectel

UMTS&LTE EVB.
