1.6 System functions
1.6.1 Module power-on
When the LISA-U2 series modules are in the not-powered mode (i.e. switched off with the VCC module
supply not applied), they can be switched on by:
 Rising edge on the VCC pin to a valid voltage as the module supply (i.e. applying module supply)
 Alternately, the RESET_N pin can be held to the low level during the VCC rising edge, so that the
module switches on, releasing the RESET_N pin when the VCC module supply voltage stabilizes
at its correct nominal value within the normal operating range
The status of the PWR_ON input pin of LISA-U2 series modules while applying the VCC module supply
is not relevant: during this phase, the PWR_ON pin can be set high or low by the external circuit.
When the LISA-U2 series modules are in the power-off mode (i.e. switched off by means of the
AT+CPWROFF command, with valid VCC module supply applied), they can be switched on by:
 Low pulse on the PWR_ON pin (i.e. forcing the pin to the low level, normally high by external pull-
up)
 Rising edge on the RESET_N pin (i.e. releasing the pin from low level, normally high by internal pull-
up)
 RTC alarm (i.e. pre-programmed scheduled time by AT+CALA command)

PWR_ON
Power-on input
PWR_ON pin has high input impedance.
Do not keep floating in noisy environment: external pull-
up required.
Table 16: Power-on pin
☞ The PWR_ON pin ESD sensitivity rating is 1 kV (Human Body Model according to JESD22-A114F).
Higher protection levels could be required if the line is externally accessible on the application
board. Higher protection levels can be achieved by mounting an ESD protection (e.g. EPCOS
CA05P4S14THSG varistor array) on the line connected to this pin, close to the accessible point.
1.6.1.1 Rising edge on VCC
Applying a proper supply to VCC pins, the module supply supervision circuit controls the subsequent
activation of the power-up state machines: the module is switched on when the voltage rises up to
the VCC normal operating range minimum limit starting from a voltage value lower than 2.25 V (see
the LISA-U2 series Data Sheet [1] for the VCC normal operating range minimum limit).
☞ The voltage at the VCC pins must ramp from 2.5 V to 3.2 V within 1 ms to properly switch on the
module. If the external supply circuit is not able to provide this VCC voltage slope, keep the
RESET_N input low during the VCC rising edge, so that the module switches on, releasing the
RESET_N pin when the VCC voltage stabilizes at its nominal value within the normal operating
range.
The status of the PWR_ON input pin during the VCC apply phase is not relevant: LISA-U2 modules
switch on when a suitable rising edge on the VCC pin is applied, during this phase the PWR_ON pin
can be set high or low by the external circuit.
