☞ For additional guidelines regarding Cellular and GNSS RF coexistence, see section 2.4.4
☞ For additional guidelines regarding the design of applications with u-blox 3.0 V GNSS receivers,
refer to the SARA-R5 series positioning implementation application note [18] and to the hardware
integration manual of the u-blox GNSS receivers.
2.6.5.2 Guidelines for DDC (I2C) layout design
The DDC (I2C) serial interface requires the same consideration regarding electro-magnetic
interference as any other digital interface. Keep the traces short and avoid coupling with RF line or
sensitive analog inputs, since the signals can cause the radiation of some harmonics of the digital
data frequency.
2.7 Audio
☞ Audio is not supported by the “00” product version of SARA-R5 series modules.
Voltage translator providing partial power down feature, so the 3 V supply can be also ramped up before V_INT 1.8 V supply
