Both the modules use M3406-ADJ, which come with a internal over current protection (1.5A) and rated to 800mA operation. but the power supply circuit is design with the bulk output Capacitance which maintaines the voltage and pumps the shorter peak current requirment and the series resister at the power supply input reduce the stress on the hosts 5v regulator.

## Level shifters

The SIM7600 module (Cicada 4G) operates at 1.8v logic level, while the SIM800C module (Cicada 2G) operates at 2.8v. In both vases, simple discrete level shifters are used to make the logic levels compatible with more common 3.3v.

## USB

On both Cicada 2G and Cicada 4G, USB can be used to update the modem firmware.
The USB connector can also provide 5V power to the board during the process.
