Module power-on
SARA-G3 and LISA series power-on sequence is initiated in one of the ways summarized in Table
41Table 41. For more details, refer to section 1.6.1 or to the relative System Integration Manual of the
module [6], [7].

Table 41: Summary of power on events among modules
The same compatible external power-on circuit can be implemented for SARA-G3 series and LISA series
even if there are minor differences in the PWR_ON input voltage levels ranges and in the low level time
or low pulse time to switch-on the module, as reported in Table 42Table 42 or in the relative datasheet
of the module [1], [3], [4], [5]. PWR_ON falling edge (i.e. low pulse) is required for LISA series,
but it is not required for SARA-G3 series. External pull-up is not needed for LISA-C2 series since
internal pull-up is provided.
Module power-off
SARA-G3 and LISA modules can all be properly switched off by means of the AT+CPWROFF command.
Additionally, all LISA-U2 modules, except LISA-U200-00S, can be properly switched off by low pulse on
the PWR_ON pin, as reported in Table 42Table 42 or in the relative datasheet of the module [5].
Module reset
SARA-G3 series and LISA series modules reset can be performed in one of the following ways:
Forcing a low level on the RESET_N pin, causing an “external” or “hardware” reset
By means of the AT+CFUN command, causing an “internal” or “software” reset
The same compatible external reset circuit can be implemented for SARA-G3 series and LISA series even
if there are minor differences in the RESET_N input voltage levels ranges and in the low level time, as
reported in Table 42Table 42 or in the relative datasheet of the module [1], [3], [4], [5].
Additional precautions are suggested for the RESET_N line of LISA-U series modules, depending on the
application board handling, to satisfy ESD immunity test requirements as described in the
LISA-U Series
