LE910Cx HW User Guide

Figure 11: Power down timing using HW_SHUTDOWN_N

Note

: Recommended values are as follows: R2 = 47kΩ, R1 = 10kΩ.

Note

: Do not use any pull-up resistor on the HW_SHUTDOWN_N line

or any totem pole digital output. Using a pull-up resistor may cause

latch-up problems on the LE910Cx power regulator and improper

functioning of the module.

The HW_SHUTDOWN_N line must be

connected only in an open-collector configuration.

Note

The Unconditional Hardware Shutdown must always be

implemented on the boards, but this function must use it only as an

emergency exit procedure, and not as a normal power-off operation.

Powering OFF the Module

Powering OFF the module should be done gracefully allowing the module to complete all

ongoing and pending tasks while properly handling all memory buffers.

In a complete power supply shut down is needed, the below procedure must be followed:

1. Perform a HW shutdown as described in Section 5.3.1

2. Wait for the HW Shutdown procedure to complete (monitor the PWRMON/SW_RDY

pin).

3. Turn OFF power supply to the module
