3.  Detailed Interface Specifications 

Note:  

If not specified, all electrical values are given for VBATT=3.7V and an operating temperature of 25°C. 

 

For standard applications, VBATT and VBATT_PA must be tied externally to the same power supply. 

For some specific applications, AirPrime HL77xx modules support separate VBATT and VBATT_PA 

connections if requirements below are fulfilled. 

3.1.  Power Supply 

The 

AirPrime HL77xx modules are

 supplied through the 

VBATT and VBATT_PA 

signals

Refer to the following table for the pad description of the Power Supply interface.
