Figure 24 and the components listed in Table 14 show an example of a high reliability power supply
circuit for SARA-R410M modules, which do not support the 2G radio access technology, where the
module VCC is supplied by an LDO linear regulator capable of delivering maximum peak / pulse current
specified for LTE use-case, with suitable power handling capability.
It is recommended to configure the LDO linear regulator to generate a voltage supply value slightly
below the maximum limit of the module VCC normal operating range (e.g. ~4.1 V for the VCC, as in
the circuits described in Figure 24 and Table 14). This reduces the power on the linear regulator and
improves the thermal design of the circuit.
