Restrictions apply to this RF Equipment for use in Australia:
- Only to be operated on 433Mhz / 915-930Mhz / 2.4Ghz (check the product description for compatible frequency ranges).
- If operating outside of shared frequencies or in such a way that is beyond low interference potential devices are intended to function, then you have obtained the appropriate authorisation to do so.
For use in other locations around the world:
- Follow region-specific frequency spectrum rules.
A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout.
The Particle M-HAT represents a significant advancement in IoT connectivity and power management for Raspberry Pi projects. This innovative HAT combines cellular connectivity, advanced power management, and edge computing capabilities in a modular, stackable design. By integrating LTE Cat 1 connectivity with sophisticated power control features, the M-HAT enables extended operation in remote locations while maintaining reliable data transmission.
Key Features
- Integrated LTE Cat 1 cellular connectivity with North American bands support
- Advanced power management system supporting multiple sources (PoE, DC, USB-C PD, and battery)
- Ultra-low power sleep modes with dedicated wake pin
- Dual SMA connectors for external antennas
- Stackable design with extended 40-pin female connector
- Built-in battery charger and power management system
- PFET power control for optimised energy consumption
- Support for local model storage and OTA updates
Technical Specifications
- Power Input Options:
- USB-C PD
- VIN (6-12 VDC)
- LiPo battery with temperature sensor (3-pin JST-PH)
- Interfaces:
- QWIIC connector
- 40-pin female connector
- UART interface (921k baud rate)
- External TPM
- Additional Features:
- Real-time clock and watchdog chip
- RGB status LED
- Mode & Reset buttons
How to Use
Installation of the M-HAT is straightforward with the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, Raspberry Pi 4, or Raspberry Pi 5. Simply align the 40-pin connector and secure using the provided standoffs. For power supply, connect either the included USB-C PD cable or utilise the DC input options. When implementing battery backup, connect the provided single-cell battery to the JST-PH connector.
For optimal cellular connectivity, position the external antennas away from metal objects and potential sources of interference. The stackable design allows for additional HATs to be connected above the M-HAT, enabling the integration of environmental sensors or other peripherals.
