4. POWER SUPPLY

Power Supply Source Selection

The EVB can be powered from power adapter or battery depending on required use case.
The following block diagram describes the power supply path.

If the 5V power adapter is connected to EVB, switch S101 needs to be moved to VBAT
position, and jumpers J102 and J104 need to be closed to power up the EVB.

If the battery (3.5V ~ 4.4V) is connected to EVB, jumper J104 needs to be closed, to power
up the EVB.

MOSFET Q102 prevents the adapter and the battery from being supplying the power to
EVB at the same time.

There is a Power-on indicator LED101 on EVB. This LED glows in red color when the DC
power supply or battery power supply is normal.

The following circuit shows the DCDC section:

Note/Tip: To measure the SE150A4 Smart Module current

Power consumption monitoring

In order to facilitate the user to measure the current consumption of the module, there
are two test points (VBAT and GND) on SE150A4 Smart Module-TE board. Supply power
to VBAT and GND test points on the by removing the jumper J104 in the EVB.

consumption, EVB needs to be powered separately, so that the
LCM will work normally..

Battery Charging

The EVB has a battery connector J103, battery can be charged either from DC adapter or
micro USB port. Battery connection is optional to operate EVB. Battery could be useful
for field trials, drive tests, and demos to avoid unexpected power cuts.

If both adapter and battery are connected, EVB will be powered by adapter and battery
can be charged. Note that jumpers J102 and J104 need to be closed and S101 is moved
to VBAT position. If battery charging function is not required, remove jumper on J102.

If the EVB is powered by adapter, it is necessary to pull down BAT_THERM (module pin
VBATT_THERM, Pin 134) to GND with a 47K resistor, otherwise charging and power
supply will be abnormal.

When battery is used to supply power to EVB, the value of R106 need to be equal to the
internal NTC resistance of the battery at normal temperature, hence R106 = 47KΩ.

Safety Recommendations

Make sure the use of this product is allowed in your country and in the environment
required. The use of this product may be dangerous and has to be avoided in areas where:

1VV0301694 Rev. 1 Page 40 of 44 2021-01-29

SE150A4 Smart Module EVB User Guide

• it can interfere with other electronic devices, particularly in environments such as

hospitals, airports, aircrafts, etc.

• there is a risk of explosion such as gasoline stations, oil refineries, etc. It is the

responsibility of the user to enforce the country regulation and the specific
environment regulation.

Do not disassemble the product; any mark of tampering will compromise the warranty
validity. We recommend following the instructions of the hardware user guides for
correct wiring of the product. The product has to be supplied with a stabilized voltage
source and the wiring has to be conformed to the security and fire prevention
regulations. The product has to be handled with care, avoiding any contact with the pins
because electrostatic discharges may damage the product itself. Same cautions have to
be taken for the SIM, checking carefully the instruction for its use. Do not insert or
remove the SIM when the product is in power saving mode.

The system integrator is responsible for the functioning of the final product. Therefore,
the external components of the module, as well as any project or installation issue, have
to be handled with care. Any interference may cause the risk of disturbing the GSM
network or external devices or having an impact on the security system. Should there be
any doubt, please refer to the technical documentation and the regulations in force. Every
module has to be equipped with a proper antenna with specific characteristics. The
antenna has to be installed carefully in order to avoid any interference with other
electronic devices and has to guarantee a minimum distance from the body (20 cm). In
case this requirement cannot be satisfied, the system integrator has to assess the final
product against the SAR regulation.

The equipment is intended to be installed in a restricted area location.

The equipment must be supplied by an external specific limited power source in
compliance with the standard EN 62368-1:2014.

introduced on the market. All of the relevant information is available on the European
Community website:
