Battery Source Power Supply Design Guidelines
The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V and the maximum voltage allowed
is 4.2V, hence a single 3.7V Li-Ion cell battery type is suited for supplying the power to the
Telit NL865B1 module.
•
A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut
the current absorption peaks, a 100μF tantalum capacitor is usually suited.
•
Make sure the low ESR capacitor (usually a tantalum one) is rated at least 10V.
•
A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order to save the
NL865B1 from power polarity inversion. Otherwise the battery connector should be
done in a way to avoid polarity inversions when connecting the battery.
•
The selected battery should be capable of supporting the max peak currents of
~0.5A.
NOTE:
DON'T USE any Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Pb battery types directly
connected with NL865B1. Their use can lead to overvoltage on the
NL865B1 and damage it. USE ONLY Li-Ion battery types.
