SIM900A V4.0 Kit Wireless Extension Module GSM GPRS Board with Antenna is based on SIM900A chip having onboard two set power of supply interface namely VCC5 5V power supply, VCC4 interface, 3.5–4.5V power supply, optional power on self-starting (default), and control start. The onboard SMA (default) and IPXmini antenna interface, SIM900A interface reserved reset. The computer can give early computer debugging USB module power supply, a very large amount of data under the condition of the recommended current more than 1A. Standby dozens of MA data can be set to provide dormancy, dormancy of 10MA low power. Support 2G, mobile phone 3,4G card.

The serial port circuit can support for 3.3V single-chip microcomputer. TTL serial port support 3.3 and 5V single-chip microcomputer. The SIM card circuit to increase the SMF05C ESD chip. Antenna circuit guarantee short and straight so as to ensure the higher signal strength.

Features:

• The computer can give early computer debugging USB module power supply, a very large amount of data under the condition of the recommended current more than 1A. Standby dozens of MA data can be set to provide dormancy, dormancy of 10MA low power. Support 2, mobile phone 3,4G card.
• The serial port circuit: support for 3.3V single chip microcomputer. TTL serial port support 3.3 and 5V single chip microcomputer.
