4.2 Power supply
The u-blox RCB-F9T timing board has two power supply pins: VCC, and VCC_ANT.
4.2.1 VCC: Main supply voltage
The
VCC
pin is connected to the main supply voltage. During operation, the current drawn by the
module can vary by some orders of magnitude. For this reason, it is important that the supply
circuitry be able to support the peak power for a short time (see the RCB-F9T Data sheet [
] for
specification).
To reduce peak current during power on, users can employ an LDO that has an in-built
current limiter
