Hardware Commands 4.1. Turning on the DE910 module To turn on the DE910, the pad ON_OFF* must be tied low for at least 1 second and then released. The maximum current that can be drained from the ON_OFF* pad is 0.1 mA. A simple circuit to power on the module is illustrated below: 4.1.1. Initialization and Activation State Upon turning on DE910 module, the DE910 module is not active yet because the boot sequence of DE910 is still executing internally. It takes about 10 seconds to complete the initialization of the module internally. For this reason, it would be useless to try to access DE910 during the Initialization state as below. The DE910 module needs at least 10 seconds after the PWRMON goes High to become operational by reaching the activation state.

DE910 Series Hardware User Guide 1vv0300951 Rev.9 – 2015-05-11 Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Page 22 of 77 During the Initialization state, any kind of AT-command is not available. DTE must wait for the Activation state to communicate with DE910. To check if the DE910 has powered on, the hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. When PWRMON goes high, the module has powered on. NOTE: Do not use any pull up resistor on the ON_OFF* line. It is pulled up internally. Using a pull up resistor may bring latch up problems on the DE910 power regulator and improper power on/off of the module. The line ON_OFF* must be connected only in open collector configuration. NOTE: In this document all the lines are inverted. Active low signals are labeled with a name that ends with "*" or with a bar over the name. NOTE: In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the DE910 module when the module is powered OFF or during an ON/OFF transition. For example: 1. To drive the ON_OFF* pad with a totem pole output of a +3/5 V microcontroller (uP_OUT1): 2. To drive the ON_OFF* pad directly with an ON/OFF button:

Turning off the DE910 module Turning off the device can be done in two ways:  By software command (see DE910 Software User Guide)  By hardware shutdown When the device is shut down by software command or by hardware shutdown, it issues a detach request to the network that informs the network that the device will no longer be reachable. NOTE: In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the DE910 when the module is powered OFF or during an ON/OFF transition. The following flow chart shows the proper turnoff procedure:

Shutdown by Software Command The DE910 can be shut down by a software command. When a shutdown command is sent, the DE910 goes into the finalization state and will shut down PWRMON at the end of this state. The period of the finalization state can vary according to the state of the DE910 so it cannot be fixed definitely. Normally it will be above 10 seconds after sending a shutdown command and DTE should monitor the status of PWRMON to see the actual power off. TIP: To check if the device has powered off hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. When PWRMON goes low, the device has powered off. 4.2.2. Hardware Shutdown To turn OFF the DE910 the pad ON_OFF* must be tied low for at least 2 seconds and then released. The same circuitry and timing for the power on must be used. When the hold time of ON_OFF* is above 2 seconds, the DE910 goes into the finalization state and will shut down PWRMON at the end of this state. The period of the finalization state can vary according to the state of the DE910 so it cannot be fixed definitely. Normally it will be above 10 seconds after releasing ON_OFF* and DTE should monitor the status of PWRMON to see the actual power off.

Hardware Reset WARNING: The Hardware Reset must not be used during normal operation of the device since it does not detach the device from the network. It shall be kept as an emergency exit procedure to be done in the rare case that the device gets stuck waiting for some network. 4.3.1. Hardware Unconditional Shutdown To unconditionally shutdown the DE910, the pad HW_SHUTDOWN* must be tied low for at least 200 milliseconds and then released. A simple circuit to unconditionally shutdown the module is illustrated below: NOTE: Do not use any pull up resistor on the HW_SHUTDOWN* line or any totem pole digital output. Using a pull up resistor may bring latch up problems on the DE910 power regulator and result in improper functioning of the module. The line HW_SHUTDOWN* must be connected only in open collector configuration. TIP: The unconditional hardware Shutdown must always be implemented on the boards and the software must use it only as an emergency exit procedure.

Power Supply The power supply circuitry and board layout are a very important part in the full product design and they strongly reflect on the product’s overall performance. Read carefully the requirements and the guidelines that follow for a proper design. 5.1. Power Supply Requirements The external power supply must be connected to VBATT & VBATT_PA signals and must fulfill the following requirements: Power Supply Nominal Supply Voltage 3.8V Normal Operating Voltage Range 3.4V ~ 4.2V Extended Operating Voltage Range 3.3V ~ 4.5V NOTE: The Operating Voltage Range MUST never be exceeded. Special care must be taken when designing the application’s power supply section to avoid having an excessive voltage drop. If the voltage drop is exceeding the limits it could cause a Power Off of the module.. Behavior in the extended operating voltage range might deviate from 3GPP2 specification.

DE910 Series Hardware User Guide 1vv0300951 Rev.9 – 2015-05-11 Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Page 29 of 77 TIP: The electrical design for the power supply should be made ensuring it will be capable of a peak current output of at least 1A. 5.2. General Design Rules The principal guidelines for the Power Supply Design embrace three different design steps:  the electrical design  the thermal design  the PCB layout 5.2.1. Electrical Design Guidelines The electrical design of the power supply depends strongly on the power source where this power is drained. We will distinguish them into three categories:  +5V input (typically PC internal regulator output)  +12V input (typically automotive)  Battery 5.2.2. + 5V Input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines  The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence there is not a big difference between the input source and the desired output so a linear regulator can be used. A switching power supply will not be suitable because of the low drop-out requirements.  When using a linear regulator, a proper heat sink must be provided in order to dissipate the power generated.  A Bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current absorption peaks close to the DE910. A 100μF tantalum capacitor is usually suited.  Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually a tantalum one) is rated at least 10V.  A protection diode must be inserted close to the power input in order to save the DE910 from power polarity inversion.

DE910 Series Hardware User Guide 1vv0300951 Rev.9 – 2015-05-11 Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Page 30 of 77 An example of a linear regulator with 5V input: 5.2.3. +12V Input Source Power Supply Design Guidelines  The desired output for the power supply is 3.8V, hence due to the big difference between the input source and the desired output, a linear regulator is not suitable and must not be used. A switching power supply would be preferable because of its better efficiency, especially with the 1A peak current load represented by DE910.  When using a switching regulator, a 500 kHz or more switching frequency regulator is preferable because of its smaller inductor size and its faster transient response. This allows the regulator to respond quickly to the current peaks absorption.  In any case, the frequency and switching design selection is related to the application to be developed due to the fact the switching frequency could also generate EMC interferences.  For car PB battery the input voltage can rise up to 15.8V and this must be kept in mind when choosing components: all components in the power supply must withstand this voltage.  A bypass low ESR capacitor of adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current absorption peaks. A 100μF tantalum capacitor is usually suited for this.  Make sure the low ESR capacitor on the power supply output (usually a tantalum one) is rated at least 10V.  For car applications a spike protection diode must be inserted close to the power input in order to clean the supply from spikes.  A protection diode must be inserted close to the power input in order to save the DE910 from power polarity inversion. This can be the same diode as for spike protection.

Page 31 of 77 An example of switching regulator with 12V input is in the schematic below: 5.2.4. Battery Source Power Supply Design Guidelines The desired nominal output for the power supply is 3.8V and the maximum voltage allowed is 4.2V. A single 3.7V lithium-ion cell battery type is ideal to supply power to the Telit DE910 module. WARNING: The three battery cells (Ni/Cd or Ni/MH 3.6V nom. battery types or 4V PB types) MUST NOT be used directly because their maximum voltage can rise over the absolute maximum voltage for the DE910 and cause damage. USE only Li-Ion battery types.  A bypass low (usually a 100uF tantalum) ESR capacitor with adequate capacity must be provided in order to cut the current absorption peaks.  Make sure the low ESR capacitor (usually a tantalum) is rated at least 10V.  A protection diode must be inserted close to the power input in order to protect the DE910 module from power polarity inversions when connecting the battery.  The battery capacity must be at least 500mAh in order to withstand the current peaks of 1A. The suggested battery capacity is from 500mAh to 1000mAh. 5.2.5. Thermal Design Guidelines The thermal design for the power supply heat sink must be done with the following specifications:  Average current consumption during CDMA 1x / 1xEV-DO transmission @PWR level max : 750 mA

DE910 Series Hardware User Guide 1vv0300951 Rev.9 – 2015-05-11 Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Page 32 of 77  Average GPS current during GPS ON (Power Saving disabled) in DE910 : 55 mA NOTE: The average consumption during transmissions depends on the power level at which the device is requested to transmit via the network. The average current consumption hence varies significantly. Considering the very low current during idle, especially if the Power Saving function is enabled, it is possible to consider from the thermal point of view that the device absorbs current significantly only during calls. If we assume that the device stays in transmission for short periods of time (a few minutes) and then remains for quite a long time in idle (one hour), then the power supply always has time to cool down between the calls and the heat sink could be smaller than the calculated for 750mA maximum RMS current. There could even be a simple chip package (no heat sink). Moreover in average network conditions the device is requested to transmit at a lower power level than the maximum and hence the current consumption will be less than 750mA (usually around 250 mA). For these reasons the thermal design is rarely a concern and the simple ground plane where the power supply chip is placed can be enough to ensure a good thermal condition and avoid overheating. The heat generated by the DE910 must be taken into consideration during transmission at 24.4dBm max during calls. This generated heat will be mostly conducted to the ground plane under the DE910. The application must be able to dissipate heat. In the CDMA 1x/1xEV-DO mode, since DE910 emits RF signals continuously during transmission, special attention must be paid to how to dissipate the heat generated. The current consumption will be up to about 750mA in CDMA 1x continuously at the maximum TX output power (24.4dBm). Thus, you must arrange the area on the application PCB must be as large as possible under DE910. The DE910 must be mounted on the large ground area of the application board and make many ground vias to dissipate the heat. 5.2.6. Power Supply PCB layout Guidelines As seen in the electrical design guidelines, the power supply must have a low ESR capacitor on the output to cut the current peaks and a protection diode on the input to protect the supply from spikes and polarity inversion. The placement of these components is crucial for the correct operation of the circuitry. A misplaced component can be useless or can even decrease the power supply performance.  The bypass low ESR capacitor must be placed close to the Telit DE910 power input pads, or if the power supply is a switching type, the capacitor can be placed close to the inductor to cut the ripple if the PCB trace from the capacitor to

DE910 Series Hardware User Guide 1vv0300951 Rev.9 – 2015-05-11 Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Page 33 of 77 DE910 is wide enough to ensure a drop-less connection even during the 1A current peaks.  The protection diode must be placed close to the input connector where the power source is drained.  The PCB traces from the input connector to the power regulator IC must be wide enough to ensure no voltage drops occur when the 1A current peaks are absorbed. While a voltage drop of hundreds of mV may be acceptable from the power loss point of view, the same voltage drop may not be acceptable from the noise point of view. If the application does not have an audio interface but only uses the data feature of the Telit DE910, then this noise is not as disruptive and the power supply layout design can be more forgiving.  The PCB traces to DE910 and the Bypass capacitor must be wide enough to ensure no significant voltage drops occur when the 1A current peaks are absorbed. This is a must for the same above-mentioned reasons. Try to keep this trace as short as possible.  The PCB traces connecting the switching output to the inductor and the switching diode must be kept as short as possible by placing the inductor and the diode very close to the power switching IC (only for switching power supply). This is done in order to reduce the radiated field (noise) at the switching frequency (usually 100-500 kHz).  The use of a good common ground plane is suggested.  The placement of the power supply on the board must be done in a way to guarantee that the high current return paths in the ground plane are not overlapped with any noise sensitive circuitry such as the microphone amplifier/buffer or earphone amplifier.  The power supply input cables must be kept separate from noise sensitive lines such as microphone/earphone cables.  The insertion of EMI filter on VBATT pins is suggested in those designs where antenna is placed close to battery or supply lines. A ferrite bead like Murata BLM18EG101TN1 or Taiyo Yuden P/N FBMH1608HM101 can be used for this purpose. The below figure shows the recommended circuit:

Antenna The antenna connection and board layout design are the most important parts in the full product design and they strongly reflect on the product’s overall performance. Read carefully and follow the requirements and the guidelines for a proper design. 6.1. CDMA Antenna Requirements The antenna for a Telit DE910 device must fulfill the following requirements: CDMA Antenna Requirements Frequency range Depending on the frequency band(s) provided by the network operator, the customer must use the most suitable antenna for that/those band(s) Bandwidth 70 MHz in CDMA BC0 140 MHz in CDMA BC1 Gain Gain < 5.12dBi in CDMA BC0 Gain < 6.12dBi in CDMA BC1 Impedance 50 Ohm Input power > 24.4dBm Average Power in CDMA VSWR absolute max ≤ 5:1 (Limit to avoid permanent damage) VSWR recommended ≤ 2:1 (Limit to fulfill all regulatory requirement) When using the Telit DE910, since there’s no antenna connector on the module, the antenna must be connected to the DE910 antenna pad (K1) by means of a transmission line implemented in the PCB. In the case that the antenna is not directly connected at the antenna pad of the DE910, then a PCB line is required.

Page 36 of 77 This transmission line shall fulfill the following requirements: Antenna Line on PCB Requirements Characteristic Impedance 50Ohm Max Attenuation 0.3dB Coupling with other signals shall be avoided Cold End (Ground Plane) of antenna shall be equipotential to the DE910 ground pads Furthermore if the device is developed for the US and/or Canada market, it must comply with the FCC and/or IC approval requirements: This device is to be used only for mobile and fixed application. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. End-Users must be provided with transmitter operation conditions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. OEM integrators must ensure that the end user has no manual instructions to remove or install the DE910 module. Antennas used for this OEM module must not exceed 5dBi gain for mobile and fixed operating configurations. 6.1.1. CDMA antenna – PCB line Guidelines  Make sure that the transmission line’s characteristic impedance is 50ohm.  Keep line on the PCB as short as possible since the antenna line loss shall be less than around 0.3dB.  Line geometry should have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid meanders and abrupt curves.  Any kind of suitable geometry/structure ( Microstrip, Stripline, Coplanar, Grounded Coplanar Waveguide … ) can be used for implementing the printed transmission line afferent the antenna.  If a Ground plane is required in line geometry, that plane has to be continuous and sufficiently extended so the geometry can be as similar as possible to the related canonical model.  Keep, if possible, at least one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane; If possible, use this layer as reference Ground plane for the transmission line.  It is wise to surround (on both sides) of the PCB transmission line with Ground. Avoid having other signal tracks facing directly the antenna line track.  Avoid crossing any un-shielded transmission line footprint with other tracks on different layers.  The Ground surrounding the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the main Ground plane by means of via holes (once per 2mm at least) placed close to the ground edges facing line track.  Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from DE910 antenna line.  Keep the antenna line far away from the DE910 power supply lines.

DE910 Series Hardware User Guide 1vv0300951 Rev.9 – 2015-05-11 Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Page 37 of 77  If EM noisy devices are present on the PCB hosting the DE910, such as fast switching ICs, take care of shielding them with a metal frame cover.  If EM noisy devices are not present around the line, use of geometries like Micro strip or Grounded Coplanar Waveguide are preferred since they typically ensure less attenuation when compared to a Strip line having same length. 6.1.2. PCB Guidelines in case of FCC certification In the case FCC certification is required for an application using DE910-DUAL, according to FCC KDB 996369 for modular approval requirements, the transmission line has to be similar to that implemented on module’s interface board and described in the following chapter. 6.1.2.1.1.1. Transmission line design During the design of the DE910 interface board, the placement of components has been chosen properly, in order to keep the line length as short as possible, thus leading to lowest power losses possible. A Grounded Coplanar Waveguide (G-CPW) line has been chosen, since this kind of transmission line ensures good impedance control and can be implemented in an outer PCB layer as needed in this case. A SMA female connector has been used to feed the line. The interface board is realized on a FR4, 4-layers PCB. Substrate material is characterized by relative permittivity εr = 4.6 ± 0.4 @ 1 GHz, TanD= 0.019 ÷ 0.026 @ 1 GHz. A characteristic impedance of nearly 50 Ω is achieved using trace width = 1.1 mm, clearance from coplanar ground plane = 0.3 mm each side. The line uses reference ground plane on layer 3, while copper is removed from layer 2 underneath the line. Height of trace above ground plane is 1.335 mm. Calculated characteristic impedance is 51.6 Ω, estimated line loss is less than 0.1 dB. The line geometry is shown below:

Transmission line measurements HP8753E VNA (Full-2-port calibration) has been used in this measurement session. A calibrated coaxial cable has been soldered at the pad corresponding to RF output; a SMA connector has been soldered to the board in order to characterize the losses of the transmission line including the connector itself.

CDMA Antenna – Installation Guidelines  Install the antenna in a place covered by the CDMA signal.  If the device antenna in the application is located greater then 20cm from the human body and there are no co-located transmitters then the Telit FCC/IC approvals can be re-used by the end product.  Antenna shall not be installed inside metal cases.  Antenna shall be installed also according antenna manufacture instructions. WARNING: Consider a mechanical design and a low-capacitance ESD protection device to protect DE910 or customer specific requirements from ESD event to Antenna port (K1).

Antenna Diversity Requirements This product includes an input for a second RX antenna to improve the radio sensitivity. The function is called Antenna Diversity. CDMA Antenna Diversity Requirements Frequency range Depending frequency band(s) provided by the network operator, the customer must use the most suitable antenna for that/those band(s) Bandwidth 70 MHz in CDMA BC0 140 MHz in CDMA BC1 Impedance 50 Ohm When using the Telit DE910, since there’s no antenna connector on the module, the antenna must be connected to the DE910 antenna pad (F1) by means of a transmission line implemented on the PCB. In the case that the antenna is not directly connected at the antenna pad of DE910, then a PCB line is required. NOTE: If the RX Diversity is not used/connected, disable the Diversity functionality using the AT#CRXD command and leave the pad F1 unconnected. Please refer to the AT command User Guide in detail. WARNING: Consider a mechanical design and a low-capacitance ESD protection device to protect DE910 or customer specific requirements from ESD event to Antenna port (F1).

GNSS Antenna Requirements The use of an active GNSS antenna is required to achieve better performance. The module is provided with a Digital Output signal to enable the external LNA (pad R7). Parameter Min Max Output high level 1.35V 1.8V Output low level 0.0V 0.45V 6.3.1. Combined GNSS Antenna The use of combined CDMA/GNSS antenna is not recommended. This solution could generate extremely poor GNSS reception and also the combined antenna requires an additional diplexer and adds a loss in the RF route. 6.3.2. Linear and Patch GNSS Antenna Using this type of antenna introduces at least 3dB of loss if compared to a circularly polarized (CP) antenna. Having a spherical gain response instead of a hemispherical gain response could aggravate the multipath behaviour & create poor position accuracy. 6.3.3. The Design Considerations to enhanced GNSS performance Depending on the characteristics and requirements unique to the customer’s designs, the use of an external LNA or an external active antenna may be required to achieve best performance. The optional external LNA should be dimensioned to avoid an excessive LNA gain that can introduce jamming, spurious, degrade IIP3, and saturate the receiver. The configurations of an external device must fulfill the following requirements:  An external passive antenna (GPS only)  An external active antenna (GPS or GNSS)  An external passive antenna, GNSS pre-Filter , and GNSS LNA (GPS or GNSS)

GNSS Antenna – PCB Line Guidelines  Ensure that the antenna line impedance is 50ohm.  Keep line on the PCB as short as possible to reduce the loss.  Antenna line must have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid meanders and abrupt curves.  Keep one layer of the PCB used only for the Ground plane; if possible.  Surround (on the sides, over and under) the antenna line on PCB with Ground. Avoid having other signal tracks directly facing the antenna line track.  The Ground around the antenna line on PCB has to be strictly connected to the main Ground plane by placing vias once per 2mm at least.  Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from DE910 antenna line.  Keep the antenna line far away from the DE910 power supply lines.  If EM noisy devices are around the PCB hosting the DE910, such as fast switching ICs, take care of shielding of antenna line by burying it inside the layers of PCB and surround it with Ground planes; or shield it with a metal frame cover.  If you do not have EM noisy devices around the PCB of DE910, use a strip line on the superficial copper layer for the antenna line. The line attenuation will be lower than a buried one. 6.3.5. GNSS Antenna – Installation Guidelines  The DE910, due to its sensitivity characteristics, is capable of performing a fix inside buildings. However, the sensitivity could be affected by the building characteristics i.e. shielding.  The Antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.  Antenna shall not be installed inside metal cases.  Antenna shall be installed also according antenna manufacture instructions. WARNING: Consider a mechanical design and a low-capacitance ESD protection device to protect DE910 or customer specific requirements from ESD event to GPS port (R9).

Page 48 of 77 NOTE: According to V.24, RX/TX signal names are referred to the application side. Therefore, on the DE910 side these signals are in the opposite direction: TXD on the application side will be connected to the receive line (here named TXD/ rx_uart ) of the DE910 serial port and vice versa for RX. NOTE: High-speed UART supports up to 4Mbps. Please refer to the AT command User Guide in detail. WARNING: Consider a mechanical design and a low-capacitance ESD protection device to protect DE910 or customer specific requirements from ESD event to UART port (M15, N15, P15 and L14). 8.2. Modem Serial Port 2 Serial port 2 on the DE910 is a +1.8V UART with only the RX and TX signals. The signals of the DE910 serial port are: Pin Signal I/O Function Type D15 TX_AUX O Auxillary UART (TX Data to DTE) 1.8V E15 RX_AUX I Auxillary UART (RX Data from DTE) 1.8V NOTE: In order to avoid a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the DE910 when the module is powered off or during an ON/OFF transition. 8.3. RS232 Level Translation In order to interface the Telit DE910 with a PC com port or a RS232 (EIA/TIA-232) application, a level translator is required. This level translator must:  Invert the electrical signal in both directions  Change the level from 0/1.8V to +/-15V

DE910 Series Hardware User Guide 1vv0300951 Rev.9 – 2015-05-11 Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Page 49 of 77 Actually, the RS232 UART 16450, 16550, 16650 & 16750 chipsets accept signals with lower levels on the RS232 side (EIA/TIA-562), allowing a lower voltage-multiplying ratio on the level translator. Note that the negative signal voltage must be less than 0V and hence some sort of level translation is always required. The simplest way to translate the levels and invert the signal is by using a single chip level translator. There are a multitude of them, differing in the number of drivers and receivers and in the levels (be sure to get a true RS232 level translator not a RS485 or other standards). By convention the driver is the level translator from the 0-1.8V UART to the RS232 level. The receiver is the translator from the RS232 level to 0-1.8V UART. In order to translate the whole set of control lines of the UART you will need:  5 drivers  3 receivers An example of RS232 level adaption circuitry could be accomplished using a MAXIM transceiver (MAX218). In this case the chipset is capable of translating directly from 1.8V to the RS232 levels (Example on 4 signals only). NOTE: In this case the length of the lines on the application has to be taken into account to avoid problems in case of High-speed rates on RS232.

RTC Bypass Output The VRTC pin brings out the Real Time Clock supply, which is separate from the rest of the digital part, allowing only RTC to be active when all the other parts of the device are off. To this power output a backup capacitor can be added in order to increase the RTC autonomy during power off of the battery. No devices must be powered from this pin. For additional details on the Backup solutions please refer to the related application note (xE910 RTC Backup Application Note). VRTC also supplies reference power to help DE910 check the time from SMPL (Sudden Momentary Power Loss). So it is recommended as best practice to connect VRTC to a shunt capacitor (VRTC to GND) and the acceptable capacitor value is: Parameter Min Keep-alive capacitor on Pad no. = C14 6.8uF NOTE: SMPL (Sudden Momentary Power Loss) : SMPL feature initiates a power-on sequence if the monitored system voltage; VBATT drops out of range and then returns in range within a programmable interval. SMPL achieves immediate and automatic recovery from momentary power loss such as a brief battery disconnect. NOTE: VBATT must be supplied in order to use RTC function. NOTE: It is recommended to add a keep-alive capacitor on VRTC. WARNING: NO devices must be powered from this pin.
