# Power Supply Recommendations

The uNODE is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 4.5 V and 5.5 V. This input supply must be able to withstand the maximum input current and maintain a stable voltage. The resistance of the input supply rail should be low enough that an input current transient does not cause a high enough drop that can cause a false UVLO fault triggering and system reset. The amount of bulk capacitance is not critical, but a 47-μF or 100-μF electrolytic capacitor is a typical choice.
