Figure 1: Functional Diagram 
 
 
1.  PWRKEY output voltage is 1.5V because of the voltage drop inside the Qualcomm chipset. Due to 
platform limitations, the chipset has integrated the reset function into PWRKEY. Therefore, PWRKEY 
should never be pulled down to GND permanently. 
2.  RESET_N is multiplexed from PWRKEY.   
 
2.4. Evaluation Board 
 
In order to help customers to develop applications conveniently with BG77, Quectel supplies the 
evaluation board (EVB), USB to RS-232 converter cable, USB data cable, earphone, antenna and other 
peripherals to control or test the module. For more details, please refer to document [1].
