1. Introduction
The AirPrime Q26 Carrier Board is used to provide an interface between applications using an
AirPrime Q26 (which includes Q2686, Q2687, Q2686 Refreshed, Q2687 Refreshed and Q2698) form
factor and the AirPrime HL6528, HL6528RD or HL8548 embedded module.
Note:
HL6528 and HL6528RD refer to 1.8V variants of the HL6. 2.8V variants (which are not supported by
the Q26 Carrier Board) are designated as HL6528-2.8V and HL6528RD-2.8V.
AirPrime HL modules are inserted in a Snap-in Socket which is mounted on a PCB to form the Q26
Carrier Board.

Q26 Carrier Board
This document describes how the Q26 Carrier Board enables applications to change from using a
Q26 module to an HL6528, HL6528RD or HL8548 module, as well as provides schematic diagrams
and mechanical details to facilitate the user’s understanding and configuration of the Q26 Carrier
Board.
The current Q26 Carrier Board is compatible with the following AirPrime HL modules:
HL6528
HL6528RD
HL8548
For simplicity, these three
modules will be collectively referred to as “HL6 and HL8 modules”
throughout this document.
Likewise, the Q2686, Q2687, Q2686 Refreshed, Q2687 Refreshed will be collectively referred to as
“Q268xx”, AirPrime Q26 variants as “Q26”, and the Q26 Carrier Board to “Q26CB” in this document.
For more information regarding AirPrime Q26, and HL6 and HL8 modules, refer to the specific product
technical specifications listed in section 7.1 Reference Documents.
