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.
