3.1.1 Design Requirements
VBAT is the main power supply of the module. Its input voltage ranges from 3.5 V to 4.3 V and the
preferable value is 3.9V.It supplies power for baseband controller and RF power amplifier.
The performance of the VBAT power supply is a critical path to module's performance and stability. The
peak input current at the VBAT pin can be up to 2 A when the signal is weak and the module works at the
maximum transmitting power. The voltage will encounter a drop in such a situation. The module might
restart if the voltage drops lower than 3.5 V.
