2. The GE865-QUAD
2.1. Product Overview
The new GE865-QUAD product introduces the smallest GSM/GPRS Ball-Grid-Array (BGA)
module in the market.
The GE865-QUAD extends Telit’s range of BGA products, incorporating a single-chip
solution built on 0.13 μm CMOS technology into a 22 x 22 x 3 mm block.
The low profile and small size of the unique BGA package for the GE865-QUAD enable the
design of extremely compact applications. Since connectors are eliminated, the solution cost
is significantly reduced compared to conventional mounting.
With its ultra-compact design and extended temperature range, the Telit GE865-QUAD
product is the perfect platform for high-volume m2m applications and mobile data devices.
Additional features such as integrated TCP/IP protocol stack and serial multiplexer extend
functionality of the application at no additional cost.
The GE865-QUAD makes it possible to run the customer's application inside the module
using Python Script Interpreter, thus making it the smallest, complete platform for m2m
solutions.
The GE865-QUAD module, support Over-the-Air firmware update by means Premium FOTA
Management. By embedding the RedBend’s vCurrent Mobile® agent, a proven and battle-
tested technology powering hundreds of millions of cellular handsets world-wide, Telit is able
to update its products by transmitting only a delta file, which represents the difference
between one firmware version and another.

3.26. Buzzer output
A general purpose I/O pin can be configured to output the BUZZER output signal. With an
external MOSFET or transistor and a diode, a buzzer can be directly driven.
The ringing tone and the other signaling tones can be redirected to this buzzer output with a
specific AT command.
3.27. RF Transmission Monitor (RFTXMON)
As alternate function of the GPIO5, the GE865-QUAD can provide the RF transmission
monitor. When the alternate function is activated, the pin of GPIO5 changes to HIGH every
time the module transmits an RF signal and remains HIGH for the duration of the
transmission sequence, i.e. it does not change with every GSM signal burst.
3.28. RF Transmission Control
As alternate function of the GPIO4 pin, when configured as RF Transmission Control Input, it
allows to disable the Transmitter when the GPIO is set to Low by the application.
3.29. TTY (Telephone Text)
The TTY feature is supported. Please refer to 3GPP TS 26.226 and 3GPP TS 26.231 for
details.
3.30. Logic level specifications
Where not specifically stated, all the interface circuits work at 2.8V CMOS logic levels. To
get more detailed information about the logic level specifications used in the GE865-QUAD,
please check with the Hardware User Guide.
3.31. Audio
3.31.1. Analog
The GE865-QUAD offers one audio line balanced. The GE865-QUAD has a built-in echo
canceller and a noise suppressor. For more details, please refer to the GE865-QUAD
Hardware User Guide.
3.31.2. Digital
The GE865-QUAD offers the digital voice interface. For more details, please refer to the
Digital Voice Interface Application Note.
3.32. Serial Ports
Two serial ports are available on the module:
•Main serial port (full RS232), auto-bauding up to 115,200 bps
•AUX serial port (RX & TX only), 115,200 bps

3.33. Converters
3.33.1. ADC Converter
The GE865-QUAD has two on board ADC, which are 11-bit converter. They are able to read
a voltage level in the range of 0÷2 volts applied on the ADC pin input, store and convert it
into 11 bit word.
3.33.2. DAC Converter
The GE865-QUAD has one on board DAC, which is a 10 bit converter, able to generate an
analogue value based a specific input in the range from 0 up to 1023. However, an external
low-pass filter is necessary. See the HW User Guide for the details.
3.34. Mounting the GE865-QUAD on your Board
The Telit GE865-QUAD module has been designed in order to be compliant with a standard
lead-free SMT process. For detailed information about PCB pad design and conditions to use
in SMT process please check with the GE865-QUAD Hardware User Guide.
3.35. Packing system
The Telit GE865-QUAD is supplied on trays of 50 pieces each or, in Tape&Reel of 200 pcs
per reel.
