1 Introduction

The Cinterion

LGA DevKit is designed as a generic development adapter for Cinterion

LGA

modules. With the LGA DevKit it is no longer necessary to connect the Cinterion

evaluation

modules to an adapter for test and development purposes.

The LGA DevKit may operate stand-alone without the need of any further tools or devices, or

it can be operated with a port extender, for instance the DSB75 or DSB-Mini as an adapter be-

tween the module and further external applications.

The LGA DevKit is available in two variants:

• SM supports the complete industrial platform modules

• L supports most of the industrial plus platform modules

Either one of the LGA DevKit variant (SM or L) needs to be ordered together with the LGA

DevKit socket, leaving the option to reuse the socket for the other LGA DevKit variant.

1.1 Feature and Benefits

• LGA DevKit socket supports four different module footprints with different LGA pad counts

for industrial/industrial plus platform modules:

With LGA DevKit SM: LGA106, LGA114, and LGA120

With LGA DevKit L: LGA156

• Future proof, ready for new, upcoming modules

• Stand-alone: Get the LGA module up and running without additional tooling

• Supports DSB75/DSB-Mini as port extender

• UART via USB VCP, and/or native USB communication

• Direct module signal access with complete interruption for deep level investigation

• Real module current consumption measurement, no additional leakage current

• Powered via USB or external devices (e.g., DSB75/DSB-Mini)

• Adjustable module supply level 2.8...4.5V

• VEXT self-adjustment for level shifter reference level

• Further supported interfaces: SPS, SIM2, ASC1, Audio, GPIO, GNSS

• Error detection: Wrong or wrongly oriented modules, as well as shorts on module, prevent-

ing damages

• Clear & easy concept for usage and signaling

• Cost minimized: LGA DevKit socket usable for both LGA DevKit versions (SM and L)

• QR code scanning leads users to all the information necessary for usage
