4. POWER SUPPLY

The power supply circuitry and board layout are a very important part in the full product design and they strongly reflect on the product overall performances, hence read carefully the requirements and the guidelines that will follow for a proper design.

Power Supply Requirements

The external power supply must be connected to VBATT & VBATT_PA signals and must fulfil the following requirements:
Power Supply Value
Nominal Supply Voltage 3.8V
Normal Operating Voltage Range 3.40 V÷ 4.20 V
NOTE:
The Operating Voltage Range MUST never be exceeded; care must
exceeding the limits it could cause a Power Off of the module.

Power Consumption

The values reported in the following table have been measured in nominal conditions (3.8V@25°C) with 5% max error:
Mode Band Average (mA) Mode Description
IDLE mode
AT+CFUN=1 All 13 (DRX9)
Power Saving Disabled (+ESLP=0)
AT+ESLP=1 All 1 (DRX9) Power Saving Enabled

Operative Mode
GSM900 220 PCL5
GSM Voice Call
DCS1800 145 PCL0
GSM900 360
GPRS Data Call
PS Class 10 @ Gamma3
DCS1800 210
The GSM system is made in a way that the RF transmission is not continuous, but it is packed into bursts at a base frequency of approx. 217 Hz, and the relative current peaks can be as high as about 2A. Therefore the power supply has to be designed to withstand these current peaks without big voltage drops; this means that both the electrical design and the board layout must be designed for this current flow.
If the layout of the PCB is not well designed a strong noise floor is generated on the ground and the supply; this will reflect on all the audio paths producing an audible annoying noise at approx. 217 Hz; if the voltage drop during the peak current absorption is too much, then the device may even shutdown as a consequence of the supply voltage drop.
NOTE:
The electrical design for the Power supply should be made ensuring it will be capable of a peak current output of at least 2A (3.80V supply).
1VV0301518 Rev. 5 Page 20 of 54 2020-09-23
Page 21
GL865-QUAD V4 Hardware User Guide

General Design Rules

The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps:
the electrical design
the thermal design
the PCB layout

4.3.1. Electrical Design Guidelines

The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly from the power source where this power is drained. We will distinguish them into three categories:
+5V input (typically PC internal regulator output)
+12V input (typically automotive)
Battery
4.3.1.1. +5V Source Power Supply Design Guidelines
The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence there's not a big difference
between the input source and the desired output and a linear regulator can be used. A switching power supply will not be suited because of the low drop out requirements.
When using a linear regulator, a proper heat sink shall be provided in order to
dissipate the power generated.
A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut
the current absorption peaks close to the Module, a 100μF capacitor is usually
suited.
Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output rated at least 10V.
An example of linear regulator with 5V input is:
delines
1VV0301518 Rev. 5 Page 21 of 54 2020-09-23
Page 22
GL865-QUAD V4 Hardware User Guide
4.3.1.2. +12V Source Power Supply Design Guidelines
The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence due to the big difference
between the input source and the desired output, a linear regulator is not suited and shall not be used. A switching power supply will be preferable because of its better efficiency.
When using a switching regulator, a 500kHz or more switching frequency regulator
is preferable because of its smaller inductor size and its faster transient response. This allows the regulator to respond quickly to the current peaks absorption.
In any case the frequency and Switching design selection is related to the
application to be developed due to the fact the switching frequency could also generate EMC interferences.
For car PB battery the input voltage can rise up to 15,8V and this should be kept in
mind when choosing components: all components in the power supply must withstand this voltage.
A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut
the current absorption peaks, a 100μF capacitor is usually suited.
Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output is rated at least 10V.
For Car applications a spike protection diode should be inserted close to the power
input, in order to clean the supply from spikes.
An example of switching regulator with 12V input is in the below schematic:
1VV0301518 Rev. 5 Page 22 of 54 2020-09-23
Page 23
GL865-QUAD V4 Hardware User Guide
MH, and Pb battery types directly
Ion battery
4.3.1.3. 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 GL865-QUAD V4 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
GL865-QUAD V4 from power polarity inversion. Otherwise the battery connector should be done in a way to avoid polarity inversions when connecting the battery.
The battery must be rated to supply peaks of current up to 2A.
NOTE:
DON'T USE any Ni-Cd, Ni­connected with GL865-QUAD V4. Their use can lead to overvoltage on the GL865-QUAD V4 and damage it. USE ONLY Li­types.

4.3.2. Thermal Design Guidelines

Worst case as reference values for thermal design of GL865-QUAD V4 are:
Average current consumption: 500 mA
Supply voltage: 3.80V
NOTE:
Make PCB design in order to have the best connection of GND pads to large surfaces.
1VV0301518 Rev. 5 Page 23 of 54 2020-09-23
Page 24
GL865-QUAD V4 Hardware User Guide

4.3.3. Power Supply PCB layout Guidelines

As seen on the electrical design guidelines the power supply shall have a low ESR capacitor on the output to cut the current peaks on the input to protect the supply from spikes The placement of this component is crucial for the correct working of the circuitry. A misplaced component can be useless or can even decrease the power supply performance.
The Bypass low ESR capacitor must be placed close to the Telit GL865-QUAD V4
power input pads or in the case the power supply is a switching type it can be placed close to the inductor to cut the ripple provided the PCB trace from the capacitor to the GL865-QUAD V4 is wide enough to ensure a dropless connection even during an 2A current peak.
The protection diode must be placed close to the input connector where the power
source is drained.
The PCB traces to the GL865-QUAD V4 and the Bypass capacitor must be wide
enough to ensure no significant voltage drops occur. This is for the same reason as previous point. Try to keep this trace as short as possible.
To reduce the EMI due to switching, it is important to keep very small the mesh
involved; thus the input capacitor, the output diode (if not embodied in the IC) and the regulator have to form a very small loop.This is done in order to reduce the radiated field (noise) at the switching frequency (100-500 kHz usually).
A dedicated ground for the Switching regulator separated by the common ground
plane is suggested.
The placement of the power supply on the board should be done in such a way to
guarantee that the high current return paths in the ground plane are not overlapped to any noise sensitive circuitry as the microphone amplifier/buffer or earphone amplifier.
The power supply input cables should be kept separate from noise sensitive lines
such as microphone/earphone cables.
The insertion of EMI filter on VBATT pins is suggested in those designs where
antenna is placed close to battery or supply lines. A ferrite bead like Murata BLM18EG101TN1 or Taiyo Yuden P/N FBMH1608HM101 can be used for this purpose.
The below figure shows the recommended circuit:

The VRTC pin brings out the Real Time Clock supply, which is separate from the rest of the digital part, allowing having only RTC going on when all the other parts of the device are off.
To this power output a backup battery can be added in order to increase the RTC autonomy during power off of the main battery (power supply). NO Devices must be powered from this pin.
For additional details on the Backup solutions please refer to the related application note (xL865 RTC Backup Application Note).

VAUX Power Output

A regulated power supply output is provided in order to supply small devices from the module. The signal is present on pin 51 and it is in common with the PWRMON (module powered ON indication) function.
This output is always active when the module is powered ON.
The operating range characteristics of the supply are:
Item Min Typical Max
Output voltage 2.7V 2.8V 2.9V
Output current - - 10mA
Output bypass capacitor

Reset

RESET* is used to restart the GL865-QUAD V4. Whenever this signal is pulled low, the GL865-QUAD V4 is reset. When the device is reset it stops any operation. After the release of the line, the GL865-QUAD V4 is restarted, without doing any detach operation from the network where it is registered.
To restart the GL865-QUAD V4, the pad RESET* must be tied low for at least 200 milliseconds and then released.
The signal is internally pulled up so the pin can be left floating if not used.
If used, then it must always be connected with an open collector transistor, to permit to the internal circuitry the power on reset and under voltage lockout functions.

5.6.1. Using a GPIO as INPUT

The GPIO pads, when used as inputs, can be connected to a digital output of another device and report its status, provided this device has interface levels compatible with the 2.8V CMOS levels of the GPIO.
NOTE:
In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the GL865-QUAD V4 ON/OFF transition.

5.6.2. Using a GPIO as OUTPUT

The GPIO pads, when used as outputs, can drive 2.8V CMOS digital devices or compatible hardware. When set as outputs, the pads have a push-pull output and therefore the pull-up resistor may be omitted.

ADC Converter

The GL865-QUAD V4 is provided by two AD converter. It is able to read a voltage level in the range of 0÷2.8 volts applied on the ADC pin input, store and convert it into 10 bit word.
The input lines are named as ADC_IN1 (available on Pad 15) and ADC_IN2 (available on Pad 16).
The following table is showing the ADC characteristics:
Item Min
Input Voltage range 0 - 2.8 Volt
AD conversion - - 10 bits

5.8.1. Using ADC Converter

The ADC could be controlled using an AT command.
The command is AT#ADC=1,2 to read ADC_IN1 and AT#ADC=2,2 to read ADC_IN2.
The read value is expressed in mV
Refer to SW User Guide or AT Commands Reference Guide for the full description of this function.

DAC Converter

The GL865-QUAD V4 provides a Digital to Analog Converter. The signal (named DAC_OUT) is available on pin 17 of the GL865-QUAD V4. The on board DAC is a 10 bit converter, able to generate an analogue value based on a specific input in the range from 0 up to 1023. However, an external low-pass filter is necessary.
The following table is showing the ADC characteristics:
Item Min Max Unit
Voltage range (filtered) 0 2.8 Volt
Range 0 1023 Steps
1VV0301518 Rev. 5 Page 39 of 54 2020-09-23
Page 40
GL865-QUAD V4 Hardware User Guide
The precision is 10 bits so, if we consider that the maximum voltage is 2V, the integrated voltage could be calculated with the following formula:
Integrated output voltage = (2 *value) / 1023
DAC_OUT line must be integrated (for example with a low band pass filter) in order to obtain an analog voltage.

5.9.1. Enabling DAC

An AT command is available to use the DAC function.
The command is: AT#DAC= [<enable> [, <value>]]
<value> - scale factor of the integrated output voltage (0..1023 – 10 bit precision)
it must be present if <enable>=1
Refer to SW User Guide or AT Commands Reference Guide for the full description of this function.
NOTE:
The DAC frequency is selected internally. D/A converter must not be used during POWERSAVING.

6.3.1. PCB Design guidelines

When using the GL865-QUAD V4, since there's no antenna connector on the module, the antenna must be connected to the GL865-QUAD V4 antenna pad by means of a transmission line implemented on the PCB.
This transmission line shall fulfil the following requirements:
Item Value
Characteristic Impedance 50 ohm (+-10%)
Max Attenuation 0,3 dB
Coupling Coupling with other signals shall be avoided
Ground Plane
Cold End (Ground Plane) of antenna shall be equipotential to the GL865-QUAD V4 ground pins
The transmission line should be designed according to the following guidelines:
Make sure that the transmission line’s characteristic impedance is 50ohm ;
Keep line on the PCB as short as possible, since the antenna line loss shall be less
than about 0,3 dB;
Line geometry should have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid
meanders and abrupt curves;
Any kind of suitable geometry / structure (Microstrip, Stripline, Coplanar, Grounded
Coplanar Waveguide...) can be used for implementing the printed transmission line afferent the antenna;
If a Ground plane is required in line geometry, that plane has to be continuous and
sufficiently extended, so the geometry can be as similar as possible to the related canonical model;
Keep, if possible, at least one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane; If
possible, use this layer as reference Ground plane for the transmission line;
It is wise to surround (on both sides) the PCB transmission line with Ground, avoid
having other signal tracks facing directly the antenna line track.
Avoid crossing any un-shielded transmission line footprint with other signal tracks
on different layers;
The ground surrounding the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the
main Ground Plane by means of via holes (once per 2mm at least), placed close to the ground edges facing line track;
Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from GL865-QUAD V4 antenna line;
Keep the antenna line far away from the GL865-QUAD V4 power supply lines;
If EM noisy devices (such as fast switching ICs, LCD and so on) are present on the
PCB hosting the LE910, take care of the shielding of the antenna line by burying it in an inner layer of PCB and surround it with Ground planes, or shield it with a metal frame cover.
If EM noisy devices are not present around the line, the use of geometries like
Microstrip or Grounded Coplanar Waveguide has to be preferred, since they typically ensure less attenuation if compared to a Stripline having same length;
