GE866-DUAL Hardware User Guide 1VV0301051 Rev. 2 – 2014-04-077 The electrical design for the Power supply should be made ensuring it will be capable of a peak current output of at least 2 A. 6.3. General Design Rules The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps: 6.3.1.
GE866-DUAL Hardware User Guide 1VV0301051 Rev. 2 – 2014-04-077 An example of linear regulator with 5V input is: 6.3.1.2. + 12V input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines • The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence due to the big difference between the input source and the desired output, a linear regulator is not suited and shall not be used. A switching power supply will be preferable because of its better efficiency especially with the 2A peak current load represented by the GE866-QUAD.

An example of switching regulator with 12V input is in the below schematic: 6.3.1.3. Battery Source Power Supply Design Guidelines • The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V and the maximum voltage allowed is 4.2V, hence a single 3.7V Li-Ion cell battery type is suited for supplying the power to the Telit GE866-QUAD module.
GE866-DUAL Hardware User Guide 1VV0301051 Rev. 2 – 2014-04-077 The three cells Ni/Cd or Ni/MH 3.6 V Nom. battery types or 4V PB types MUST NOT BE USED DIRECTLY since their maximum voltage can rise over the absolute maximum voltage for the GE866-QUAD and damage it. NOTE: DON'T USE any Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Pb battery types directly connected with GE866-QUAD. Their use can lead to overvoltage on the GE866-QUAD and damage it. USE ONLY Li-Ion battery types. 6.3.2.
GE866-DUAL Hardware User Guide 1VV0301051 Rev. 2 – 2014-04-077 For the heat generated by the GE866-QUAD, you can consider it to be during transmission 1W max during CSD/VOICE calls and 2W max during class10 GPRS upload. This generated heat will be mostly conducted to the ground plane under the GE866-QUAD; you must ensure that your application can dissipate it.

GE866-DUAL Hardware User Guide 1VV0301051 Rev. 2 – 2014-04-077 6.3.3. Power Supply PCB layout Guidelines As seen on the electrical design guidelines the power supply shall have a low ESR capacitor on the output to cut the current peaks and a protection diode on the input to protect the supply from spikes and polarity inversion. The placement of these components is crucial for the correct working of the circuitry. A misplaced component can be useless or can even decrease the power supply performance.
GE866-DUAL Hardware User Guide 1VV0301051 Rev. 2 – 2014-04-077 • The placement of the power supply on the board should be done in such a way to guarantee that the high current return paths in the ground plane are not overlapped to any noise sensitive circuitry as the microphone amplifier/buffer or earphone amplifier. • The power supply input cables should be kept separate from noise sensitive lines such as microphone/earphone cables.
