5.1 Power Modes
Two power modes are available:
• DC-DC converter for low power applications,
• LDO for low-cost or small size applications.
5.1.1 SetRegMode
Command SetRegMode(...) defines which regulator should be used.
• RegMode defines if the DC-DC converter has to be switched ON:
0: Do not switch on the DC-DC converter in any mode (Default).
1: Automatically switch on the DC-DC converter, depending on the mode as per Table 5-2.
Other values are RFU.
This command only works with the device in Standby RC mode, otherwise it returns CMD_FAIL on the next GetStatus
command.
The following table illustrates the power regulation options for different modes and user settings.
