SIM7080 Dev Board

This repository contains the hardware design files (kicad v5) and schematic for SIM7080 Dev Board.

Introduction

The TechStudio SIM7080 Development Board (The SIM7080 Dev Board) adds wireless access to your IoT project. The on-board SIM7080G module support both LTE CAT-M1 and NB-IoT Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) technologies that are designed to provide LTE cellular communication to small IoT devices. The build-in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver provides global position information that is often need for tracking applications.

The small form factor and low cost allows IoT system designer/software developer to utilise the development board for “drop-in” deployment, this minimises the risk for developing customised board, and greatly accelerates the time between development and deployment stages.

Highlighted Features

  • Supports LTE CAT-M1 and NB-IoT mode, and global bands
  • Supports GNSS positioning (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo)
  • Future-proof eSIM chip footprint reserved on PCB
  • On-board battery charger via USB interface
  • UART control pins for interfacing with MCU
  • On-board Voltage translator controllable based on host MCU power voltage (3.3V/5V)
  • Capable to power the host MCU either directly via 3.7V Li-Po battery or via on-board LDO
  • GNSS active antenna power control by host MCU
  • SIM card slot that supports 1.8V nano SIM card
