The output voltage is 0.8V
because of the diode drop in
the Qualcomm chipset.
When EG61-NA is in powerdownmode, it can be turned on to normal mode by driving the PWRKEY pin to
a low level for at least 500ms. It is recommended to use an open drain/collector driver to control the
PWRKEY.After STATUS pin outputting a high level, PWRKEY pin can be released. A simple reference
circuit is illustrated in the following figure.

Another way to control the PWRKEY is using a button directly. When pressing the key, electrostatic strike
may generate from the finger. Therefore, aTVS component is indispensable to be placed nearby the
button for ESD protection. A reference circuit is shownin the following figure.
