4Development Board Description
We will introduce development board and corresponding functions of G600 in details.
4.1 Power Supply
Development board supports two kinds of power supplies. One can be directly connect with
VBATT and supply power through connection end. The other supplies broader power through outside
power supply. Development board switches the voltage to 4.0V through inside DC/DC, and then
supplies power.
4.1.1 Direct Power Supply
Direct power supply will be loaded on modules. So the bound of power supply should refer to the
requirement of G600.
Important: Please use correct voltage to avoid damage to G600.
Power Connector
Description
V40BAT
GND
DC power supply.
BATT = 3.3 V to 5.2 V
4.0V is recommended
Supplied current > 2.0A
4.1.2 The AC-DC Adapter Power Supply
After insert outside power supply adapter, the DC/DC set down circuit of development board will
on work at once and LV40 LED indicator will be on. It transfers the 4.0V voltage which will supply to
the module after turning on the switch.
Please push to this way

H330 HSPA+ Module Development Kit User Manual Page 10

Power Connector
Description
Straight insert voltage socket，core is Φ2.5mm；
Input voltage：8V~15V；power supply：≥9W；
Development board has over voltage protection,
under voltage protection, over current protection, and
reverse protection.
The Peripheral Circuit of Power Supplies
There is a LDO chip that produces 3.3V voltage on development board to satisfy the need of
other IC, LED or others circuit.
Jumper Switch
Description
JP12
Turn on/ off 3.3V voltage output
JP11
Choose the power supply of LED or
others circuit as VBATT or 3.3V
Important: When you test the parameter of current, please take out off the two jumper caps.
And the tested current will be the current consumed by module only.
4.2 Main Interface
Main RS232 interface and USB interface will use a same UART interface of G600 module. They
have same function and command. Six LED indicators（LRI/LDCD/LDSR/ DTR/LRTS/LCTS）will
exactly indicate the logic level of each pin in UART interface of G600 module.
The default value of main communication interface: adapt to baud rate -8-N-1-NONE.
PC and other DTE equipments will fully satisfy all functions of G600 module through
communication interface and AT command.
Important: You cannot use two interfaces at the same time. Please switch between JI1 and
JI2.

4.2.1 Main DB9 RS232 Interface
This interface is a complete 8-line interface, and it can be connected with PC or other DTE equipments
directly. Development board has RS-232 Transceiver SP3238EEA inside.
4.2.2 USB Interface
Development board has USB transfer UART interface chip (PL2303). It will connect four interfaces
（TXD/RXD/CTS/RTS）to UART interface of G600 module. LUSB LED indicator will be on after USB is
inserted.
Important: You need install driver in some operating system when you use USB.
4.3 The Switch and Control
In this chapter, switch and control directions include: POWER_ON / RESET_N / LPG / TX_EN /
VDD. LPG/TX_EN/VDD directs the state through LED indicator. POWER_ON / RESET_N have
corresponding buttons and circuit.
4.3.1 The Peripheral Circuit of POWER_ON
Development board
Description
RM6 & CM11
G600 has 330KΩresistance pulled up to the VBATT,
so RM6 and CM11 will compose effective turn-on signal

4.4 RTC (Real Time Clock)
G600 module includes a particular pin of RTC power supply. The RTC will continue running after
main power supply is cut off.
Lead the pin to JP7-1pin on development board, and design a 220uF standby capacitance.
Short circuit JP7 (1-2pin) will ensure real time clock continue running about 160 senconds after the
main power supply is cut off.
You can directly provide power supply to KP7-1pin, or put a button battery to ensure the
long-time running of real time clock.
4.5 SIM Card Interface
Development board includes a complete SIM card socket and interface circuit. You can refer to it
when you are designing.
