2.2.1.10 Guidelines for VCC supply layout design
Good connection of the module VCC pins with DC supply source is required for correct RF performance.
Guidelines are summarized in the following list:
x All the available VCC pins must be connected to the DC source.
x VCC connection must be as wide as possible and as short as possible.
x Any series component with Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) greater than few milliohms must be avoided.
x VCC connection must be routed through a PCB area separated from sensitive analog signals and sensitive
functional units: it is good practice to interpose at least one layer of PCB ground between VCC track and
other signal routing.
x Coupling between VCC and audio lines (especially microphone inputs) must be avoided, because the typical
GSM burst has a periodic nature of approx. 217 Hz, which lies in the audible audio range.
x The tank bypass capacitor with low ESR for current spikes smoothing described in Figure 44 and Table 27
should be placed close to the VCC pins. If the main DC source is a switching DC-DC converter, place the
large capacitor close to the DC-DC output and minimize the VCC track length. Otherwise consider using
separate capacitors for DC-DC converter and cellular module tank capacitor.
