Figure 18 and the components listed in Table 11 show an example of a low cost power supply circuit suitable for all the
SARA-R4/N4 series modules, where the module VCC is supplied by a step-down switching regulator capable of delivering
the highest peak / pulse current specified for the 2G use-case, transforming a 12 V supply input.
