Power Supply
The host provides power to the EM7690 through multiple power and ground pins as summarized in
Table
2-1.
The host must provide safe and continuous power (via battery or a regulated power supply) at all
times; the module does not have an independent power supply, or protection circuits to guard against
electrical issues.
