MeiG hardware design guide 4. Interface Application 4.1 Power Supply In the case of a battery device, the voltage input range of the module VBAT is 3.4V to 4.2V, and the recommended voltage is 3.8V. In the LTE band, when the module is transmitting at maximum power, the peak current can reach up to 3A, resulting in a large voltage drop on VBAT.
MeiG hardware design guide Figure 4.2:DC-DC power supply circuit Note: If the user does not use battery power, please note that a 10K resistor is connected to the 134 pin (BAT_THERM) of the module and pulled down to GND to prevent the software from judging the abnormal battery temperature after the module is turned on, resulting in shutdown.
MeiG hardware design guide Figure 4.4:VBAT lowest voltage drop 4.2 Power on and off Do not turn on the module when the module's temperature and voltage limits are exceeded. In extreme cases, such operations can cause permanent damage to the module. 4.2.1 Module Boot The user can power up the module by pulling the PWRKEY pin (52) low.
15 seconds 4.2.3 Module Reset The SLM756P module supports a reset function that allows the user to quickly restart the module by pulling the module's PM_RESIN_N1 (PIN57) pin low. The RESET signal is used as the volume-key by default in Android.
MeiG hardware design guide Figure 4.8: Reset using the key circuit Figure 4.9:Reset Module Using External Signa When the pin is high, the voltage is typically 1.8V. Therefore, for users with a level of 3V or 3.3V, it is not possible to directly use the GPIO of the MCU to drive the pin. An isolation circuit is required. The hardware parameters of the RESET can refer to the following table: Table 4.1: RESET Hardware Parameters Description...
This VCOIN power supply is typically 3.0V and consumes approximately 8uA when VBAT is disconnected. 4.4 Power Output The SLM756P has multiple power outputs. For LCD, Camera, touch panel, etc. In application, it is recommended to add parallel 33PF and 10PF capacitors to each power supply to effectively remove high frequency interference.
