2 Introduction to the Development Board
The EM820W module works inside the portable computer through the Mini PCI-E
interface, which is inconvenient for the user during measurement and commission.
With the EM820W simplified board, the signals that the EM820W module needs on
the Mini PCI-E interface are simulated outside the portable computer. The signals are
used for product development, commission, and software upgrade on production
lines.
Figure 2-1 shows the board structure.
Figure 2-1 Structure of the EM820W simplified board
The test points shown in the preceding figure are described as follows:
1. USB connector: Mini USB B type, side-plugged USB connector;
2. Mini PCI-E connector: female, 52-pin, straight, SMT;
3. Connector locker: used together with the Mini PCI-E connector for fixing the
module;
4. SIM card holder: used for SIM card insertion;
5. RF connector: coaxial connector, straight, male, SMT;
6. RF connector: RF switch, bent, female, SMT;

On the module, the Mini-PCI interface signals are: voltage of power, SIM card
interface, USB D+, D-interface, LED indicator interface. The implementation of
signals on the simplified board is as follows:
1. Voltage of power: The USB port of the PC supplies the power (5 V), which is
converted into 3.3 V power for the module.
2. SIM card interface: The SIM card slot is expanded outside the board.
3. Data communication: The module exchanges data with the PC through the USB
port.
4. LED indicator: LED indicators are expanded outside the board.
In addition, the antenna adapter is also expanded outside the board for connecting to
an external antenna to perform the current network test

3 Functions of the Interfaces on the
Development Board
3.1 Power Interface
The power interface is used to connect an external Mini USB Port to the EM820W
module. Thus, power can be supplied to the module. Figure 3-1 shows a circuit of the
external power interface.
Figure 3-1 External power interface circuit
3.2 SIM Card Socket
A development board is equipped with a SIM card socket. You can easily insert and
remove a SIM card. Figure 3-2 shows a SIM card circuit.
