1 About A90
A90 is a C-V2X cellular module that is developed on Qualcomm chipset. It adopts ARM Cortext A7
processor, the frequency of which is up to 1.28 GHz. Operating in the 5.9 GHz ITS spectrum, A90
supports point-to-point communication with low latency. It meets the 3GPP Release 14 C-V2X PC5
protocol and can extend the communication scope without the assistance of cellular networks.

3 Application Interfaces
A90 provides power supply, control, communications, RF, and other interfaces to meet customers
requirements in different application scenarios. This chapter describes how to design each interface
and provides reference designs and guidelines.
3.1 Power Interface
A90 provides 6 power pins that should be connected to two different power domains. It also provides
one power output pin. Table 3-1 lists these power pins and GND pins.

Ensure that all GND pins are connected
to the ground.
3.1.1 Voltage Drop
The supply voltage for A90 baseband ranges from 3.3V to 4.3V and the input voltage should not be
lower than 3.3V. Figure 3-1 shows the voltage drop in burst transmission on C-V2X networks.

Schematic Guidelines:
To reduce voltage drops, add a 100 μF filter capacitor with low ESR.
Reserve three MLCC capacitors (100 nF, 33 pF, and 10 pF) with best ESR performance for
VBAT_BB_3V8 and VBAT_RF_5V0.
Add TVS diodes before the power is input into VBAT_BB_3V8 and VBAT_RF_5V0 to protect the
module from current surge.
PCB Layout Guidelines:
Place the MLCC components close to the pins. If an external power source is connected to the
module, keep the trace width of VBAT_BB_3V8 larger than 1.5mm.

keep the trace width of VBAT_RF_5V0 larger than 1.5mm. In principle, the longer the VBAT
trace is, the wider the trace is.
3.1.2 Reference Power Supply Design
If you select a 12V/24V power system as the power supply of A90, use a DC-DC chipset with a wide
voltage range, such as TPS54340DDAR from TI. Figure 3-3 shows the reference design of a 12V/24V
power supply.

Schematic Guidelines:
TPS54340DDAR outputs 3.5A current. A90 requires a power source that can supply at least 3A.
500 kHz or larger switching frequency is recommended for DC-DC. The inductance depends on
the switching frequency.
The switching frequency might produce EMC jamming and it determines the performance of end
products.
Add surge protection to the front end of the power supply circuit if automotive battery supplies
power. The maximum safe operating voltage of the component should be larger than 42V.
For more design guidelines, see TPS54340DDAR datasheet.
Electronics used in vehicles must meet strict test standards and requirements for power supply, for example,
transient Pulse1/2a/5a. To meet these requirements, you need to design a dedicated protection circuit based on
application scenarios. Figure 3-3 shows a simple reference circuit, which might not pass the test for in-vehicle
power supply.
