Hardware Overview
Power Supply Ripple
The following are the minimum requirements to avoid module damage and to insure
performance and regulatory specifications are met. Certain local regulatory specifications
may require tighter specifications.
5 Volt +/- 5%,
Less than 25 mV pk-pk ripple all frequencies,
Less than 11 mV pk-pk ripple for frequencies less than 100 kHz,
No spectral spike greater than 5 mV pk-pk in any 1 kHz band.
Power Consumption
The following table defines the power/transmit mode settings and power consumption
specifications for the M6e. Additional details about Power/Transmit Modes can be found
in the
Power Management
