8. Reference Circuit This chapter shows a different combination of reference circuits. Before getting started, please read below notes carefully because it is applied to all the reference circuits. ⚫ 32MHz crystal and RF (VDD) DC/DC inductor (Reg1) are already inside the module. ⚫ Module is pre-programmed with Raytac testing code. Default is using DC-DC mode and need to add external 32.768khz to work. You can use DC-DC mode without adding external 32.768khz, they are NOT related events.
8.1. Reg0 DC/DC Enabled Recommend using when input voltage is equal or greater than 3.6V. Supply power from VCC2 (VDDH).
8.2. Reg0 LDO Mode Recommend using when input voltage is equal or greater than 3.6V. Supply power from VCC2 (VDDH).
8.3. Reg0 DC/DC and LDO Mode Disabled Recommend using when input voltage is less than 3.6V.
8.4. USB Disabled This circuit only focuses on USB disabled. You can use it to go with other 3 reference circuits. Please leave D+ & D- as NC when USB is disabled.
