4.1. Turning ON the GE910
To turn on the GE910 the pad ON-OFF* must be tied low for at least 5 seconds and then
released.
The maximum current that can be drained from the ON-OFF* pad is 0.2mA.
NOTE:
Don't use any pull up resistor on the ON* line, it is internally pulled up. Using pull up resistor
may bring to latch up problems on the GE910 power regulator and improper power on/off of the
module. The line ON* must be connected only in open collector configuration.
NOTE:
In this document all the lines that are inverted, hence have active low signals are labeled with a
name that ends with”*" or with a bar over the name.
TIP:
To check if the device has powered on, the hardware line PWRMON should be monitored. The
device is powered on when PWRMON goes high.
NOTE:
It is mandatory to avoid sending data to the serial ports during the first 200ms of the module
start-up.
