GM862-GPS Hardware User Guide 1vv0300728 Rev. 0 - 27/04/06 2 Hardware Commands 2.1 Turning ON the GM862-GPS To turn on the GM862-GPS the pin ON# must be tied low for at least 1 second and then released. The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pin is 0,1 mA. A simple circuit to do it is: ON# R1 Q1 Power ON impulse R2 GND NOTE: don't use any pull up resistor on the ON# line, it is internally pulled up. Using pull up resistor may bring to latch up pr

The hardware unconditional shutdown does not issue this

The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pin is 0,15 mA. A simple circuit to do it is: RESET# Unconditional Power OFF impulse GND NOTE: don't use any pull up resistor on the RESET# line nor any to

GM862-GPS Hardware User Guide 1vv0300728 Rev. 0 - 27/04/06 3.2 General Design Rules The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps: - the electrical design - the thermal design. - the PCB layout. 3.2.1 Electrical design Guidelines The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly from the power source where this power is drained. We will distinguish them into three categories: • +5V input (typically PC inter

GM862-GPS Hardware User Guide 1vv0300728 Rev. 0 - 27/04/06 3.2.1.2 + 12V input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines • The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence due to the big difference between the input source and the desired output, a linear regulator is not suited and shall not be used. A switching power supply will be preferable because of its better efficiency especially with the 2A peak current load represented by the GM862-GPS. • When using a sw

GM862-GPS Hardware User Guide 1vv0300728 Rev. 0 - 27/04/06 An example of switching regulator with 12V input is: 3.2.1.3 Battery Source Power Supply Design Guidelines • The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V and the maximum voltage allowed is 4.2V, hence a single 3.7V Li-Ion cell battery type is suited for supplying the power to the Telit GM862-GPS module. The three cells Ni/Cd or Ni/MH 3,6 V Nom. battery types or 4V PB types MUST NOT BE USED since

If the battery is deeply dis

GM862-GPS Hardware User Guide 1vv0300728 Rev. 0 - 27/04/06 As you can see, the charging process is not a trivial task to be done; moreover all these operations should start only if battery temperature is inside a charging range, usually 5°C - 45°C. The GM862-GPS measures the temperature of its internal component, in order to satisfy this last requirement, it's not exactly the same as the battery temperature but in common application the two temperature should not diffe
