About this Guide
Purpose and Scope
This Application note is intended to help customers who want to deviate from
the Sequans’ Reference Designs to successfully integrate and test their
product based on module.
It presents Integration Guidelines for:
• All VZM20Q Interface Requirements
• Tips and “how-to”s for troubleshooting
Development of the Hardware should follow a process that ensures the
solution will be optimum and it is the purpose / goal of this document to reach
this. For this to occur it is recommended that these processes are followed in
order. This document is delivered as three sections:
1. System Overview
2. Hardware and software design guidelines
3. Bring-up verification and test
Caution: It is highly recommended that Sequans support teams are
involved during all processes to ensure the very best can be
achieved for the alternative design.
Who Should Read this Document
This Application Note is for hardware designers of user applications based on
Sequans VZM20Q Module.
Important: Reference design source files are based on the application PADS®
from Mentor Graphics® (www.mentor.com). Customers using
the other CAD applications can use schematics translators and
viewers, such as Elgris® (www.elgris.com). Such translators may
save time and prevent mistakes during manual PADs conversion.
