LEON-G100/G200 - System Integration Manual
GSM.G1-HW-09002-F3 Preliminary System description
Page 18 of 101
PWM mode and high efficiency burst or PFM mode can be used, provided the mode transition occurs when
the GSM module changes status from idle mode (current consumption approximately 1 mA) to active mode
(current consumption approximately 100 mA): it is permissible to use a regulator that switches from the
PWM mode to the burst or PFM mode at an appropriate current threshold (e.g. 60 mA)
Figure 6 and the components listed in Table 4 show an example of a high reliability power supply circuit, where
the VCC module supply is provided by a step-down switching regulator capable to deliver 2.5 A current pulses,
with low output ripple, with 1 MHz fixed switching frequency in PWM mode operation. The use of a switching
regulator is suggested when the difference from the available supply rail and the VCC value is high: switching
regulators provide good efficiency transforming a 12 V supply to the 3.8 V typical value of the VCC supply. The
following power supply circuit example is implemented on the LEON Evaluation Board.
