When designing a power supply for the SoMs (M-SoM B-SoM), we must take into account both the processor power supply requirements, and the modem power supply requirements.
The M404 has the following power requirements:
Processor: 3.0-3.6v
Modem: 3.3-4.4v
For the B404X:
Processor: 3.0-3.6v
Modem: 3.3-4.3v
So it seems we could power these SoM’s with a single 3.4 - 3.5v power supply, eliminating the need for multiple regulators.
Assuming that all 3v3 peripherals are 3.5v tolerant, are there any downsides to this approach?
