3.2. Turn On
3.2.1. Turn On with PWRKEY
Table 8: Pins Description of PWRKEY
When powering up the VBAT, the module can be turned on by driving PWRKEY low for at least 200 ms. It
is recommended to use an open drain/collector driver to control the PWRKEY. PWRKEY is pulled up to
VBAT internally.

Another way to control the PWRKEY is using a keystroke directly. When pressing the keystroke, an
electrostatic strike may be generated from finger. Therefore, you should place a TVS near the keystroke
for ESD protection. Additionally, a 1 kΩ resistor is connected in series to PWRKEY for ESD protection.
