SARA-R4/N4 series - System Integration Manual
UBX-16029218 - R11 Design-in Page 58 of 157
Figure 18 and the components listed in Table 11 show an example of a low cost power supply circuit
suitable for all the SARA-R4/N4 series modules, where the module VCC is supplied by a step-down switching
regulator capable of delivering the highest peak / pulse current specified for the 2G use-case, transforming
a 12 V supply input.
