2.7 VBAT Interface Compatibility Design 
2.7.1 Detailed Interface Differences 
The VBAT voltage ranges from 3.3 V to 4.2 V, and it ranges from 3.2 V to 4.2 V for 
ME909s, with a typical value being 3.8 V. The 30 mm × 30 mm LGA module provides 
two VBAT pads.   
When the 30 mm × 30 mm LGA module works in the GSM mode, the peak current 
can reach 2.75 A. To ensure that the module works normally, place a large-capacity 
capacitor (1.1 mF is the best) near VBAT pads. This ensures that the VBAT voltage is 
not lower than 3.3 V, and for ME909s, it is not lower than 3.2 V.   
All the 30 mm × 30 mm LGA modules must be installed with a large-capacity 
capacitor on the VBAT. Furthermore, five 220 µF or above energy storage capacitors 
are connected in parallel at the power interface of the LGA module (VBAT Pin). But 
for MC509, a 220 µF or above energy storage capacitors in parallel are enough.

2.7.2 VBAT Interface Design Guide 
It is recommended that you add ferrite beads and five 220 µF capacitors (a 220 µF 
capacitor for MC509) are connected in parallel at VBAT pin to the power circuit. The 
diagram of recommended circuit is shown in the following figures.
