4.3 General Design Rules
The Power Supply Design guidelines include three different design steps:
• Electrical design
• Thermal design
• PCB layout
4.3.1 Electrical Design Guidelines
The electrical design of the power supply depends on a drained power source.
The electrical design guidelines categories are:
• +5V input (typically PC internal regulator output)
• +12V input (typically automotive)
• Battery
4.3.1.1 +5V Source Power Supply Design Guidelines
The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V. Since the difference between the input
source and the desired output is negligible, a linear regulator may be used. A switching
power supply will not be suitable because of the low dropout requirements.
• If using a linear regulator, include a heat sink to dissipate excess generated power.
• A low ESR bypass capacitor must be included to stop the current absorption peaks
near the module. The recommended capacitor is 100μF.
• Make sure that the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output is a minimum of
10V nominal.
