Supply Design Guidelines
The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V with a maximum allowed
voltage of 4.2V. Therefore, a single 3.7V lithium-ion cell battery is ideal to supply the
power to the module.
The suggested battery capacity is from 500mAh to 1000mAh.
Warning:
DO NOT USE any Ni-Cd, Ni-MH or Pb battery types directly connected to
the modem! Their use can lead to overvoltage and damage to the module. USE
ONLY Li-Ion battery types.
A bypass low (usually 100uF tantalum) ESR capacitor rated to at least 10V with
adequate capacity must be provided to cut the current absorption peaks. A protection
diode must be inserted close to the power input to protect the module from voltage
polarity inversion.
