6. POWER SUPPLY

The power supply circuitry and board layout are very important parts of the full product

design, with a critical impact on the overall performance of the product. Please read the

following requirements and guidelines carefully to ensure a good and proper design.

Power Supply Requirements

The LE910Cx power requirements are as follows:

Power Supply

Value

Nominal supply voltage

3.8V

Supply voltage range

3.4V – 4.2V
