Integrating GSP-1620 Modems into OEM Products

DC Power

Warning

Caution

The GSP-1620 modem requires input DC power ranging from

5.6V to 16 V, with 1 Amp (maximum). The modem DC input power must be clean (maximum of 50 mV peak-peak ripple and noise) and must be within the absolute maximum voltage range of 5.6 V to 16 V under all conditions. For typical DC power consumption limits, see Power Consumption on page 7-16.

The GSP-1620 modem uses a DC/DC converter to source its internal operating voltages and behaves like a constant power load over varying input voltages that has a varying input impedance when the modem is transmitting data. This creates a potential for oscillations on the DC power line if the input impedance of the modem is lower than that of the power supply sourcing the power.

The approximate minimum input impedance of the modem is

given by R = V2/Pmax where V is the operating voltage of the modem and Pmax is the maximum power consumed by the modem. For example, the minimum input impedance of the

modem at 12V would be approximately 12*12/5.4 = 26.7 Ohms. Any DC power supply capable of supplying the peak demand of 5.4W at 12V would have this output impedance. Additional design margin of at least 20% is recommended beyond this minimum value.

Care should be taken that if additional EMI filtering is added (see EMI Filtering on page 7-16), the impedance as seen by the modem’s input power supply does not exceed this value.

Do not unplug the power cables while the modem is powered up. This can cause ESD damage to the modem and also presents a danger of electrical shock.

You must ensure that the output impedance of the power supply sourcing DC power to the modem is always less than that of the input impedance of the modem. Otherwise, a potential exists for oscillations on the DC power line and the GSP-1620 modem will not operate as designed.
