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 performance, hence read the requirements carefully 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 fulfill the following requirements:

Power Supply

Value

Nominal Supply Voltage

3.8V

Operating Voltage Range

3.40 V÷ 4.20 V

Extended Voltange Range

3.20 V÷ 4.50 V

NOTE: The Operating Voltage Range MUST never be exceeded; care must be taken when designing the application’s power supply section to avoid having an excessive voltage drop. If the voltage drop is exceeding the limits it could cause a Power Off of the module. The Power supply must be higher than 3.20 V to power on the module.

Overshoot voltage (regarding MAX Extended Operating Voltage) and drop in voltage (regarding MIN Extended Operating Voltage) MUST never be exceeded;

The “Extended Operating Voltage Range” can be used only with

completely assumption and application of the HW User guide suggestions.

HW User Guide Template

1VV0301493 Rev. 2 Page 21 of 86 2018-05-11

NOTE: For PTCRB approval on the final products the power supply is required to be within the “Normal Operating Voltage Range”.

0.6 A for LTE mode (3.80V supply).

2A for GPRS mode (3.80V supply).

General Design Rules

The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps:

• the electrical design of the power supply

• 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 ML865C1, a 100μF tantalum capacitor is usually suited.

• Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (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 ML865C1 from power polarity inversion.

HW User Guide Template

1VV0301493 Rev. 2 Page 25 of 86 2018-05-11

An example of linear regulator with 5V input is:

Guidelines

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 especially with the 2A peak current load represented by the ML865C1.

• 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 tantalum

capacitor is usually suited.

• Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually a tantalum one) 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.

HW User Guide Template

1VV0301493 Rev. 2 Page 26 of 86 2018-05-11

• A protection diode should be inserted close to the power input, in order to save the ML865C1 from power polarity inversion. This can be the same diode as for spike protection.

An example of switching regulator with 12V input is in the below schematic:

A single 3.7V Li-Ion cell battery type is suited for supply of Telit ML865C1 module.

WARNING:

The three cells Ni/Cd or Ni/MH 3,6 V Nom. battery types or 4V PB types MUST NOT BE USED DIRECTLY since their maximum voltage can rise over the absolute maximum voltage for the ML865C1 and damage it.

NOTE:

DON'T USE any Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Pb battery types directly connected with ML865C1. Their use can lead to overvoltage on the ML865C1 and damage it. USE ONLY Li-Ion battery types.

• 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.
