4. Application Interface
4.1. Power Supply
The power supply range of SIM800C is from 3.4V to 4.4V. Recommended voltage is 4.0V. The transmitting
burst will cause voltage drop and the power supply must be able to provide sufficient current up to 2A. For the
VBAT input, a bypass capacitor (low ESR) such as a 100 µF is strongly recommended.
For the VBAT input, a 100uF Tantalum capacitor (CA low ESR) and a 1uF~10uF Ceramics capacitor CB are
strongly recommended. Increase the 33pF and 10pF capacitors can effectively eliminate the high frequency
interference. A 5.1V/500mW Zener diode is strongly recommended, the diode can prevent chip from damaging
by the voltage surge. These capacitors and Zener diode should be placed as close as possible to SIM800C
VBAT pins.

The following figure is the reference design of +5V input power supply. The output power supply is 4.1V, thus a
linear regulator can be used.
