| GSM modules - To supercap or not to supercap.... - RF Cafe Forums | ||||||
|
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would
be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate
that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views.
It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if
you would like to post something on RF Cafe's
Facebook page, please do.
Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts. RF Head Post subject: GSM modules - To supercap or not to supercap....

The last time I did delve into this area I went with manufacturers recommendations and added a supercap to the design to keep the supply voltage stable. This was probably using something like siemens MC55. I recently checked out Telit GE864. There was no mention of any need for very large supercaps, only a 100uF low esr cap. Just wondered if anyone had any practical experience with the latest GSM modules, most specicically, if they really are ok with a simple 100uF low esr capacitor OR maybe they do need a bit more help? Of course, battery internal resistance must be considered!

A low-noise linear regulator will do the work, I checked the datasheet of the Telit GE864, and what they mentioned is OK. The purpose of Supercapcitor is quite different, it is used in applications with low quiescent currents and where it can be charged for multiple use, instead of using batteries. _________________ Best regards, - IR Posted 11/12/2012 | ||||||
