Table 9: Trun-on Timing of the Module
3.5. Turn off
For the design that turns on the module with a host GPIO, when the power is supplied to VCC, driving
FULL_CARD_POWER_OFF# pin LOW (≤ 0.2 V) or tri-stating the pin will turn off the module. Sending the
command AT+CFUN=0 is necessary before shutting down the module.
Following is the proper shutdown handshaking process for FULL_CARD_POWER_OFF#, which complies
with the M.2 specification. Only after this process is completed, can the module successfully shutdown.
1. The host sends AT+CFUN=0 to the module.
2. The module responds OK to the host after finishing all the essential shutdown tasks.
3. If the host receives ERROR, it should try again for AT+CFUN=0 until OK is received to carry on the
power off sequence.
For details about the command, see document [3].
The time when the host GPIO controls the module to exit
the reset state in advance. For the host GPIO, the time is
the maximum time that is allowed, while for the module's
RESET# pin, it is the minimum time that is allowed. The
time will continue to be updated.
