5: Power
Power consumption
Power consumption measurements in the tables below are for the
MC7304 Mini Card module connected to the host PC via USB.
The module does not have its own power source and depends on the
host device for power. For a description of input voltage
requirements, see Power supply on page 30.

1. For supported bands, see Table 4-1, LTE frequency band support, on page 46, Table 4-3, WCDMA frequency
band support, on page 46, and Table 4-4, GSM frequency band support, on page 47.
2. Measured at 30ºC/nominal voltage.
3. Assumes USB bus is fully suspended during measurements
4. LPM and standby power consumption will increase when LEDs are enabled. To reduce power consumption,
configure LEDs to remain off while in standby and LPM modes.
