3.6. Power Supply
3.6.1. Power Supply Pins
The module provides four VBAT pins for connection with the external power supply. There are two
separate voltage domains for VBAT.
⚫
Two VBAT_RF pins for
module’s RF part.
⚫
Two VBAT_BB pins for
module’s baseband part and RF part.

3.6.2. Voltage Stability Requirements
The power supply range of the module is from 3.3 V to 4.3 V. Please make sure that the input voltage will
never drop below 3.3 V. The following figure shows the voltage drop during burst transmission in 2G
network. The voltage drop will be less in 4G networks.
