Debug of the GE910 in production 

 

To test and debug the mounting of the GE910, we strongly recommend to foreseen test pads on 
the host PCB, in order to check the connection between the GE910 itself and the application and 
to test the performance of the module connecting it with an external computer. Depending by the 
customer application, these pads include, but are not limited to the following signals: 
 

 

TXD 

 

RXD 

 

ON/OFF* 

 

HW SHUTDOWN* 

 

GND 

 

VBATT 

 

TX_AUX 

 

RX_AUX 

 

PWRMON
