3.4.3 Power Supply Design Guide
Make sure that the input voltage at the VBAT pin will never drop below 3.4V even during a
transmit burst when the current consumption rises up to more than 800mA. If the power voltage drops
below 3.4V, the RF performance of module may be affected. Using large tantalum capacitors (above
300uF) will be the best way to reduce the voltage drops. If the power current cannot support up to 800
mA, users must introduce larger capacitor (typical 1000uF) to storage electric power. For the
consideration of RF performance and system stability, some multi-layer ceramic chip (MLCC)
capacitors (0.1/1uF) need to be used for EMC because of their low ESR in high frequencies. Note that
capacitors should be put beside VBAT pins as close as possible. Also User should keep VBAT net
wider than 2 mm to minimize PCB trace impedance on circuit board. The following figure is the
recommended circuit.
Figure 3-3 VBAT input application circuit
Note: The Cd, Ce, Cb, Cc and Cf are recommended being mounted for L600, but the Ca, Cb, Ce, Cc
and Cf for tune.
In addition, in order to get a stable power source, it is suggested to use a Zener diode of which
reverse Zener voltage is 5.1V and dissipation power is more than 500mW.

3.4.4 Recommended Power supply circuit
If the voltage difference is not big, we recommend LDO is used for the power supply of the module,
make sure that the peak current of power components can rise up to more than 800A. The following
figure is the reference design of +5V input linear regulator power supply. The designed output for the
power supply is 3.8V.
Figure 3-4 Reference circuit of the LDO power supply
If there is a big difference between the input voltage and the desired output (VBAT) or better
efficiency is more important, a switching converter power (DC/DC) supply will be preferable. The
following figure is the reference circuit.
Figure 3-5 Reference circuit of the DCDC power supply
Note: DCDC may deprave RF performance because of ripple current intrinsically.
3.4.5 Power Supply Layout guide
The layout of the power supply section and the related components is of vital importance in the
power module design. If processes this part layout is not good, will lead to various effects, such as bad
EMC, effective the emission spectrum and receiving sensitivity, etc. So the power supply part design
is very important, when you design this part you should notes below contents: 1. DC/DC switch power
should place away from the antenna and other sensitivity circuit; 2. Consider the voltage drop and the
module current requirement, the layout line should better above 100mil. If conditions allow should add
a power shape plane.

2. The need for special software version to support access to the ADC.
3.14 I2C interface
3.14.1 I2C pin definition
I2C is used to communicate with peripheral equipment and can be operated as either a transmitter or
receiver, depending on the device function. Both SDA and SCL are bidirectional lines connected with
I2C interface. Its operation voltage is 1.8V. High speed mode transmission rate can reach 400 KBPS,
Because L600 haven’t internal pulled up to the I2C interface, so in your design need pull up. Below
figure is the reference design:
Figure 3-28 I2C reference design
Note: 1. L600 I2C only support host mode.
2. Only special software version support inquire the I2C.

3.15 Antenna interface
3.15.1 RF signal PCB layout guide
a) Trace layout and dimensions including specific designs for each type:
1) Customer’s antenna should be located in the host board and connected to module’s antenna pad
through micro-strip line or other types of RF trace and the trace impedance must be controlled in 50Ω.
RF antenna interface type can be SMA , RF connector and so on. And isolation is required greater than
35 dB.
2) In layout design, antenna RF transmission line must ensure the characteristic impedance = 50 ohm.
The characteristic impedance depend on substrate board, line width and the distance from the ground
plane.
3) For convenience of antenna tuning and certification test, should increase RF connectors and the
antenna matching circuit, below is a recommended circuit:
Figure 3-29 Main antenna matching circuit diagram（MAIN_ANT）
In this figure, the components R1, C1, C2 and R2 is used for antenna matching, the value of
components can only be got after the antenna tuning, usually, they are provided by antenna vendor. By
default, the R1, R2 are 0 Ohm resistors, and the C1, C2 are reserved for tuning.
The RF test connector in the figure is used for the conducted RF performance test, and should be
placed as close as to the module’s antenna pin. The traces impedance between components must be
controlled in 50ohm. And antenna gain is required not less than 3 dBi.
4) As shown in figure 3-20 is the layout of antenna feed point of reference for clearance area.

b) To facilitate the antenna tuning and certification test, a RF connector and an antenna matching
circuit should be added. The following figure is the recommended circuit.
The antenna feed point is defined as shown in below table：
