Power Supply
Power Supply Description
The power supply is one of the key elements in the design of a GSM terminal. Due to the burst
emission in GSM/GPRS, the power supply must be able to deliver high current peaks in a short time.
During these peaks, the ripple (U

Listed below are the corresponding radio burst rates for the different GPRS classes in
communication mode.
•
A GSM/GPRS class 2 terminal emits 577μs radio bursts every 4.615ms. (See Figure 5 Power
Supply During Burst Emission.)
•
A GPRS class 10 terminal emits 1154μs radio bursts every 4.615ms.
VBATT provides for the following functions:
•
Directly supplies the RF components with 3.6V. It is essential to keep a minimum voltage
ripple at this connection in order to avoid any phase error.
•
The peak current (TBDA peak in GSM/GPRS mode) flows with a ratio of:
1/8 of the time (around 577μs every 4.615ms for GSM/GPRS class 2)
and
1/4 of the time (around 1154μs every 4.615ms for GSM/GPRS class 10)
with the rising time at around 10μs.
•
Internally used to provide, via several regulators, the supply required for the baseband
signals.
