It is recommended to use an open drain/collector driver circuit to control the PWRKEY. A simple reference
circuit is illustrated in the following figure.

Another way to control PWRKEY is to use a button directly. When pressing the button, electrostatic strike
may be generated from the finger. Therefore, a TVS component must be placed nearby the button for
ESD protection. A reference circuit is shown in the following figure.
