3.4.3. Reference Design for Power Supply
The power design for the module is very important, as the performance of the module largely depends on
the power source. The power supply of SC200R series module should be able to provide sufficient current
of at least 3 A. If the voltage drop between the input and output is not too high, it is suggested to use an
LDO to supply power for the module. If there is a big voltage difference between the input source and the
desired output (VBAT), a buck converter is recommended.
The following figure shows a reference design for +5 V input power source. The typical output voltage is
3.8 V and the maximum load current is 5.0 A.
