  • Page 19 UM982-EB User Manual VCCIN powers the UM982 module only. R27 is a large-size resistor (with high rated power) to ensure the current capability. In the figure below, a 0805 resistor is used. Removing R27, connecting a power supply wire at TP1 and a ground wire at TP3 (as shown in Figure 7-1), you can use an external power to supply the module.
