Due to this, the NINA-B1 modules are compatible for use in batterypowered designs.While using NINA-B1 with a battery, it is important that the battery type can handle the peak power of themodule. In case of battery supply, consider adding extra capacitance on the supply line to avoid capacitydegradation. See the NINA-B1 series Data Sheet [2] for information about voltage supply requirement andcurrent consumption.Table 3: Summary of voltage supply requirementsThe current requirement in Table 3 considers using the u-blox connectivity software with UARTcomunication. But it does not include any aditional I/O current. Any use of external push-buttons, LEDs, orother interfaces will add to the total current consumption of the NINA-B1 module. The peak currentconsumption of the entire design will have to be taken into account when considering a battery poweredsolution.Rail Voltage requirement Current requirement (peak)VCC 1.7 V – 3.6 V 15 mA
