In addition, in order to guard over voltage protection, it is suggested to use a zener diode with 5.1V
reverse zener voltage and more than 500mW power dissipation.
Table 7: Recommended zener diode list
It is recommended that a switching modepower supply or linear regulator power supply is used. It
is important to make sure that all the components used in the power supply circuit can resist a peak
current up to 2A.
The following figure shows the linear regulatorreference circuit with 5V input and 3.8V output.

If there is a big voltage difference between input and output for VBAT power supply, orthe
efficiency is extremely important,then a switching mode power supply will be preferable. The
following figure shows theswitching mode power supply reference circuit.

Note: The Switching Mode power supply solution for VBAT must be chosen carefully against
Electro Magnetic Interference and ripple current from depraving RF performance.
