2. GENERAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Interface Board (IFBD) is custom-designed to interface the Telit module variant
LE910Cx with the Telit Generic Evaluation Board (EVB) thus forming the complete
LE910Cx Development Kit.
The IFBD provides the mapping of Telit module signals and functions into generic EVB
signals and functions
The LE910CX IFBD design includes the following components:
• LE910Cx module

• RF SMA connectors
• Board to Board connectors for interfacing to EVB main board
• Module-specific circuitry that is not included in the EVB's generic circuitry
The IFBD intends to assemble a custom-designed module socket instead of assembling
the module.
The power supply and control interface for the RF module is provided by the EVB via the
B2B connectors.
To monitor the temperature, a thermistor is placed on the upper GND plane, near the
module which should be representative of the temperature on the backside of the
module.
The bottom plane solder mask is cut out below the RF module to optimally mount/attach
a heatsink that will cool the module via the numerous heat-conducting GND via’s.
The board is designed to accommodate new modules based on the LE910 FF (28.4mm x
28.4mm, 185 pads) updated pin mapping.

Safety Recommendations
Make sure the use of this product is allowed in your country and in the environment
required. The use of this product may be dangerous and has to be avoided in areas where:
• it can interfere with other electronic devices, particularly in environments such as
hospitals, airports, aircrafts, etc.
1VV0301323 Rev. 4 Page 17 of 21 2022-04-25

Not Subject to NDA

 LE910Cx Interface Board Hardware Design Guide

• there is a risk of explosion such as gasoline stations, oil refineries, etc. It is the
responsibility of the user to enforce the country regulation and the specific
environment regulation.
Do not disassemble the product; any mark of tampering will compromise the warranty
validity. We recommend following the instructions of the hardware user guides for
correct wiring of the product. The product has to be supplied with a stabilized voltage
source and the wiring has to be conformed to the security and fire prevention regulations.
The product has to be handled with care, avoiding any contact with the pins because
electrostatic discharges may damage the product itself. Same cautions have to be taken
for the SIM, checking carefully the instruction for its use. Do not insert or remove the SIM
when the product is in power saving mode.
The system integrator is responsible for the functioning of the final product. Therefore,
the external components of the module, as well as any project or installation issue, have
to be handled with care. Any interference may cause the risk of disturbing the GSM
network or external devices or having an impact on the security system. Should there be
any doubt, please refer to the technical documentation and the regulations in force. Every
module has to be equipped with a proper antenna with specific characteristics. The
antenna has to be installed carefully in order to avoid any interference with other
electronic devices and has to guarantee a minimum distance from the body (20 cm). In
case this requirement cannot be satisfied, the system integrator has to assess the final
product against the SAR regulation.
The equipment is intended to be installed in a restricted area location.
The equipment must be supplied by an external specific limited power source in
compliance with the standard EN 62368-1:2014.
The European Community provides some Directives for the electronic equipment
introduced on the market. All of the relevant information is available on the European
Community website:
