11.3.4 Debug of the GE864 in production 

 
To test and debug the mounting of the GE864, we strongly recommend to foreseen test pads on the 
host PCB, in order to check the connection between the GE864 itself and the application and to test 
the performance of the module connecting it with an external computer. Depending by the customer 
application, these pads include, but are not limited to the following signals: 

 TXD 

 RXD 

 ON/OFF 

 RESET 

 GND 

 VBATT 

 TX_TRACE 

 RX_TRACE 

 

PWRMON 

 

11.3.5 Stencil 

 
Stencil’s apertures layout can be the same of the recommended footprint (1:1), we suggest a 
thickness of stencil foil 

 120µm.
