3.13 DC/DC Converter
The BlueMod+S42 contains a buck DC/DC converter and an LDO for supplying the radio
circuit.
Switching between DC/DC converter and LDO is done automatically based on load to
maximize efficiency.
Used with a 3V coin-cell battery, the peak current drawn from the battery is reduced by at
least 25% by use of the DC/DC converter.
