The module supports current sensing fuel gauge by default, and conducts current sampling through a
20 mΩ sampling resistor R2.

3.1.3. Reference Design for Power Supply

The power design is very important for the performance of the module. The power supply of the module
should be able to provide sufficient current of 3 A at least. If the voltage difference between the input
voltage and the power supply of the voltage is not very large, it is suggested to use an LDO to supply
power to the module, but the thermal power consumption of the LDO itself needs to be considered. If
there is a big voltage difference between the input voltage and the desired output (VBAT), a buck
converter is recommended.
The following figure illustrates a reference design for +5 V input power source.

NOTE
1. It is recommended to switch off the power supply when the module is in abnormal state, and then
switch on the power to restart the module.
2. The module supports battery charging function by default. If the above power supply design is
adopted, please make sure the charging function is disabled by software, or connect VBAT to a
Schottky diode in series to avoid the reverse current to the power supply IC.

3.1.4. Voltage Stability Requirements

The recommended power supply voltage of the module is 3.8 V. The power supply performance, such as
load capacity, voltage ripple, etc. will directly influence the module's performance and stability. Under
ultimate conditions, the module may have a transient peak current of up to 3 A. If the power supply
capability is not sufficient, there will be voltage drops. If the voltage drops below 3.25 V, the module will
power down. Therefore, make sure the input voltage VBAT never drops below 3.25 V even when the
current of module reaches 3 A.
