Meanwhile, VSD2_1V8 inside the moduleoutputs 1.8V voltage, and the module begins the process of start-up initialization. The start-up timing isshown in Figure 3-6:Figure 3-6 Start-up Timing Control DiagramNote:VSD2_1V8 is a PMU inside the module, it outputs 1.8V voltage and has not been led out via M.2interface, the appearance of this voltage in timing chart is mainly purposed to facilitate theunderstanding of timing;RESET# is required to delay its pull-up for 1s compared with +3.3V, because the module needstime for power-on of +3.3V power supply (capacitor charging). If +3.3V maintains as ordinarypower supply, then the delay time is negligible.

The software shutdown timing is shown in Figure 3-7:Figure 3-7 Software Shutdown Timing Control DiagramAfter the completion of software shutdown, FUL_CARD_POWER_OFF# still remains at high level, at thismoment, the module will not start up again. To facilitate the next start-up of the module,FUL_CARD_POWER_OFF# should be pulled down first.Note:VSD2_1V8 is a PMU inside the module, it outputs 1.8V voltage and has not been led out via M.2interface, the appearance of this voltage in timing chart is mainly purposed to facilitate theunderstanding of timing.
