FN980 FAMILY HW Design Guide Information – The current consumption of FN980m can be too much different according to mmWave antenna module. The budget of power supply chain should be over 4A@3.3V without mmWave antenna module to operate FN980m without any malfunction caused by the power supply. The peak current of FN980m with mmWave antenna will be addressed later.
PAGE 35
FN980 FAMILY HW Design Guide And it reduces the probability of failure and does not adversely affect the use of the module, and greatly extends the operation time with maximum performance. For more details, please refer to thermal design guideline. Information – FN980 Family supports various RAT such as 3G, 4G, 5G Sub6 and mmW. Based on RF transmission mode, FN980 Family can consumes a lot of current. Therefore proper thermal designs to dissipate heat well is essencial.
PAGE 36
FN980 FAMILY HW Design Guide  The protection diode must be placed close to the input connector where the power source is drained.  The PCB traces from the input connector to the power regulator IC must be wide enough to ensure that no voltage drops occur during the 4A current peaks.  The PCB traces to FN980 Family and the bypass capacitor must be wide enough to ensure that no significant voltage drops occur when the 4A current peaks are absorbed. This is needed for the same above-mentioned reasons.
