C24 Module Hardware Description
December 15, 2008
Power Supply
The C24 power supply must be a single external DC voltage source of 3.3V to 4.2V. The power
supply must be able to sustain the voltage level during a transmit current surge, which may reach
600 mA.
The C24 interface connector has 8 contacts for the main power supply, as described in
Table 2-2
.
All these contacts must be used for proper operation.
Power Supply Design
Special care must be taken when designing the power supply of the C24. The single external DC
power source indirectly supplies all the digital and analog interfaces, but also directly supplies the
RF power amplifier (PA). Therefore, any degradation in the power supply performance, due to
losses, noises or transients, will directly affect the C24 performance.
It is recommended that any voltage drops during transmission will not exceed 300mV, measured
on the C24 interface connector. In any case, the C24 supply input must not drop below the
minimum operating level during transmission. Dropping below the minimum operating voltage
may degrade the module performance.
To minimize the losses and transients on the power supply lines, it is recommended to follow
these guidelines:
•
Use a 100 uF, or greater, low ESR capacitor on the C24 supply inputs. The capacitor should
be located as near to the C24 interface connector as possible.
•
Use low impedance power source, cabling and board routing.
•
Use cabling and routing as short as possible.
•
Filter the C24 supply lines using filtering capacitors, as described in
Table 2-3
.
