Abstract
An adapter for a communications module includes first terminals for connection with a host interface of a given platform, and second terminals for connection with the communications module. The host interface provides signals associated with the platform and power at corresponding first terminals. The communication module provides associated signals and connections for supplying voltages to the module circuits, at corresponding second terminals. A power converter connected to the first terminals is arranged to output fixed voltages one or more of which is required for the communications module. A power management stage connected to the output of the power converter is arranged to apply the voltages to the second terminals so that the voltages are properly supplied to the module circuits. A buffer stage connected to the first and the second terminals is arranged to buffer or condition shared signals among the host interface and the communications module.
