Supply interfaces
1.5.1
Module supply input (VCC or 3.3aux)
TOBY-L1 series modules must be supplied via the three
VCC
pins, and MPCI-L1 modules are supplied via the five
3.3Vaux
pins. All supply voltages used inside the modules are generated from the
VCC
or the
3.3aux
supply
input by integrated voltage regulators, including
V_BCKP
supply,
V_INT
digital interface supply and
VSIM
or
UIM_PWR
SIM interface supply.
The current drawn by the TOBY-L1 and MPCI-L1 series modules through the
VCC
or
3.3Vaux
pins can vary by
several orders of magnitude depending on operation mode and state. It can change from the high current
consumption during LTE transmission at maximum RF power level in connected-mode (as described in the
chapter 1.5.1.2), to the low current consumption during low power idle-mode with the power saving
configuration enabled (as described in the chapter 1.5.1.3).
1.5.1.1
VCC or 3.3Vaux supply requirements
Table 7 summarizes the requirements for the
VCC
or
3.3Vaux
modules supply. Refer to chapter 2.2.1 for all the
suggestions to properly design a
VCC
or
3.3Vaux
supply circuit compliant to the requirements listed in Table 7.
The supply circuit affects the RF compliance of the device integrating TOBY-L1 and MPCI-L1
series modules with applicable required certification schemes as well as antenna circuit design.
Compliance is guaranteed if the requirements summarized in the Table 7 are fulfilled.

Remark
VCC
or
3.3Vaux
nominal voltage
Within
VCC
or
3.3Vaux
normal operating range:
Refer to “Supply/Power pins” section in the
TOBY-L1
series Data Sheet
[1] or in the
MPCI-L1 series Data
Sheet
The module cannot be switched on if the supply voltage
value is below the minimum limit of the operating range.
VCC
or
3.3Vaux
current
Support with adequate margin the highest averaged
current consumption value in connected mode
conditions specified for
VCC
in
TOBY-L1 series Data
Sheet
[1] or specified for
3.3Vaux
in
MPCI-L1 series
The maximum average current consumption can be
greater than the specified value according to the actual
antenna mismatching, temperature, and supply
voltage.
Section
1.5.1.2 describes the connected-mode current.
VCC
or
3.3Vaux
voltage ripple during RF
transmission
Noise in the supply has to be minimized.
High supply voltage ripple values during LTE transmission
in connected-mode directly affect the RF compliance with
applicable certification schemes.
