⚫  The following principles should be complied with when designing the USB interface, to meet USB 
specifications.   
⚫  It is important to route the USB signal traces as differential pairs with total grounding. The impedance 
of USB differential trace is 90 Ω. 
⚫  Do not route signal traces under crystals, oscillators, magnetic devices and RF signal traces. It is 
important to route the USB differential traces in inner-layer of the PCB, and surround the traces with 
ground on that layer and ground planes above and below. 
⚫  Please  pay  attention to the selection  of  the  ESD  component on  the USB data line.  Its  parasitic 
capacitance should not exceed 2 pF and should be placed as close as possible to the USB interface.

4.3. USB_BOOT Interface 
 
The module provides a USB_BOOT pin. You can pull up USB_BOOT to VDD_EXT before powering up, 
and the module will enter download mode when it is powered on. In this mode, the module supports 
firmware upgrade over USB interface. 
Please make sure that VBAT is stable before pulling down PWRKEY pin. It is recommended that the time 
between powering up VBAT and pulling down PWRKEY pin is no less than 30 ms.
