 Driving the host DTR to low level will wake up the module.
 When BG96 has URC to report, RI signal will wake up the host. Please refer to Chapter 3.14 for
details about RI behavior.
 AP_READY will detect the sleep state of the host (can be configured to high level or low level
detection). Please refer to AT+QCFG=“apready” command in document [2] for details.
3.5. Power Supply
3.5.1. Power Supply Pins
BG96 provides the following four VBAT pins for connection with an external power supply. There are two
separate voltage domains for VBAT.
 Two VBAT_RF pins for module’s RF part.
 Two VBAT_BB pins for module’s baseband part.
The following table shows the details of VBAT pins and ground pins.

3.5.2. Decrease Voltage Drop
The power supply range of the module is from 3.3V to 4.3V. Please make sure that the input voltage will
never drop below 3.3V. The following figure shows the voltage drop during burst transmission in 2G
network. The voltage drop will be less in LTE Cat M1 and LTE Cat NB1 networks.
