Power Supply Design
The AirPrime HL77xx module should not be supplied with voltage over 4.5V even temporarily or
however briefly.
If the system's main board power supply unit is unstable or if the system's main board is supplied over
4.5V, even in the case of transient voltage presence on the circuit, the module's power amplifier may
be severely damaged.
To avoid such issues, add a voltage limiter to the module's power supply lines so that VBATT and
VBATT_PA signal pads will never receive a voltage surge over 4.5V. The voltage limiter can be as
simple as a Zener diode with decoupling capacitors as shown in the diagram below.
