Figure 36 and the components listed in Table 24 show an example of a low cost power supply circuit, where the
VCC module supply is provided by an LDO linear regulator capable of delivering the specified highest peak / pulse
current, with proper power handling capability. The regulator described in this example supports a limited input
voltage range and it includes internal circuitry for current and thermal protection.
It is recommended to configure the LDO linear regulator to generate a voltage supply value slightly below the
maximum limit of the module VCC normal operating range (e.g. ~4.1 V as in the circuit described in Figure 36
and Table 24). This reduces the power on the linear regulator and improves the whole thermal design of the supply
circuit.

2.2.1.4 Guidelines for VCC supply circuit design using a rechargeable Li-Ion or Li-Pol battery
Rechargeable Li-Ion or Li-Pol batteries connected to the VCC pins should meet the following prerequisites to
comply with the module VCC requirements summarized in Table 7:
Maximum pulse and DC discharge current: the rechargeable Li-Ion battery with its related output circuit
connected to the VCC pins must be capable of delivering a pulse current as the maximum peak current
consumption during Tx burst at maximum Tx power specified in TOBY-L2 series Data Sheet [1] and must be
capable of extensively delivering a DC current as the maximum average current consumption specified in
TOBY-L2 series Data Sheet [1]. The maximum discharge current is not always reported in battery data sheets,
but the maximum DC discharge current is typically almost equal to the battery capacity in Amp-hours divided
by 1 hour.
DC series resistance: the rechargeable Li-Ion battery with its output circuit must be capable of avoiding a
VCC voltage drop below the operating range summarized in Table 7 during transmit bursts.
