4. Hardware Commands
4.1. Turning on the DE901-DUAL module
To turn on the DE910-DUAL, the pad ON# must be tied low for at least 1 second and then
released.
The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# 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-DUAL module, the DE910-DUAL module is not active yet because
the boot sequence of DE910-DUAL 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-DUAL during the Initialization
state as below. The DE910-DUAL module needs at least 10 seconds after the PWRMON goes
High to become operational by reaching the activation state.
HW User Guide Template
1vv0300951 Rev.1 – 2011-12-
Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights
Reserved. Page 20 of 60
During the Initialization state, any kind of AT-command is not available. DTE must wait for
the Activation state to communicate with DE910-DUAL.
To check if the DE910-DUAL 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# line. It is pulled up internally. Using a pull up
resistor may bring latch up problems on the DE910-DUAL 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 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-DUAL module when the module is
powered OFF or during an ON/OFF transition.
For example:
Let us assume you need to drive the ON# pad with a totem pole output of a +1.8/5 V
microcontroller (uP_OUT1):

4.2. Turning off the DE901-DUAL module
Turning off the device can be done in three ways:
• By software command (see DE910-DUAL Software User Guide)
• By hardware shutdown
• By hardware unconditional reboot
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-DUAL when the module is powered OFF
or during an ON/OFF transition.
4.2.1. Shutdown by Software Command
DE910-DUAL can be shut down by a software command.
When a shutdown command is sent, DE910-DUAL goes into the finalization state and finally
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-DUAL 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 DE910-DUAL 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-DUAL goes into the
finalization state and finally 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-DUAL is 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.
TIP:
To check if the device has powered off, hardware line PWRMON must be monitored. When
PWRMON goes low, the device has powered off.

4.2.3. Hardware Unconditional Reboot
To unconditionally restart the DE910-DUAL, the pad RESET# must be tied low for at least
200 milliseconds and then released.
A simple circuit to unconditionally reboot the module is illustrated below:
RESET#
Unconditional Restart

GND
NOTE:
Do not use any pull up resistor on the RESET# line or any totem pole digital output. Using a
pull up resistor may bring latch up problems on the DE910-DUAL power regulator and
improper functioning of the module. The line RESET# must be connected only in open
collector configuration.
TIP:
The unconditional hardware Restart must always be implemented on the boards and the
software must use it only as an emergency exit procedure.
For example:
Let us assume you need to drive the RESET# pad with a totem pole output of a +1.8/5 V
microcontroller (uP_OUT2):

5. 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
Max Supply Voltage 4.2V
Supply Voltage Range 3.4V ~ 4.2V
NOTE:
The Operating Voltage Range MUST never be exceeded. Special care must be taken in order
to fulfill min/max supply voltage requirement.
NOTE:
When the power supply voltage is lower than 3.4V, to turn ON the module, the pad ON# must
be tried low for at least 3 seconds.
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 two categories:
• +5V input (typically PC internal regulator output)
• +12V input (typically automotive)
• Battery
5.2.1.1. + 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-DUAL. 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
DE910-DUAL from power polarity inversion.
An example of linear regulator with 5V input is:

Reserved. Page 27 of 60
5.2.1.2. +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 (TBD) peak current load represented by
DE90-DUAL.
• 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
DE910-DUAL from power polarity inversion. This can be the same diode as for
spike protection.
An example of switching regulator with 12V input is in the schematic below (it is split in 2
parts):

Switching regulator
5.2.1.3. 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 the power to the Telit
DE910-DUAL 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-DUAL modem and damage it. 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-DUAL 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 (TBD). The suggested battery capacity is from 500mAh to 1000mAh.

5.2.2. 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 : TBD mA
• Average GPS current during GPS ON (Power Saving disabled) in DE910-
DUAL : TBD 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 (let us say few
minutes) and then remains for quite a long time in idle (let us say one hour), then the power
supply always has the time to cool down between the calls and the heat sink could be smaller
than the calculated for TBD mA 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 TBD mA (being
usually around TBD 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-DUAL must be taken into consideration during
transmission at 0.25W max during calls. This generated heat will be mostly conducted to the
ground plane under the DE910-DUAL. The application must be able to dissipate heat.
In the CDMA 1x/1xEV-DO mode, since DE910-DUAL emits RF signals continuously during
transmission, you must pay special attention how to dissipate the heat generated.
The current consumption will be up to about TBD mA in CDMA 1x continuously at the
maximum TX output power (24.5dBm). Thus, you must arrange the area on the application
PCB to be as large as possible under DE910-DUAL.
You must mount DE910-DUAL on the large ground area of your application board and make
many ground vias to dissipate the heat.

5.2.3. 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-DUAL
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-DUAL 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 TBD A 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 your application does not have an audio interface but only
uses the data feature of the Telit DE910-DUAL, then this noise is not as
disturbing and the power supply layout design can be more forgiving.
• The PCB traces to DE910-DUAL and the Bypass capacitor must be wide enough
to ensure no significant voltage drops occur when the TBD A 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 to 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.

When using the Telit DE910-DUAL, since there’s no antenna connector on the module, the
antenna must be connected to the DE910-DUAL antenna pad (K1) by means of a
transmission line implemented in the PCB.
En utilisant le DE910-DUAL Telit, puisqu'il n'y a aucun connecteur d'antenne sur le module,
l'antenne doit être reliée à la plage d’accueil de l'antenne du DE910-DUAL (K1) au moyen
d'une piste de transmission prévue sur la carte.
In the case that the antenna is not directly connected at the antenna pad of the DE910-DUAL,
then a PCB line is required.
Dans le cas où l'antenne n'est pas directement reliée à la plage d’accueil de l'antenne du

doivent pas dépasser un gain de 3dBi pour des configurations mobiles et fixes.
6.2. CDMA antenna – PCB line Guidelines (Antenne
CDMA – Directives pour le PCB)
• Make sure that the transmission line’s characteristic impedance is 50ohm.
Assurez-vous que l'impédance caractéristique de la piste de transmission est 50ohm.
• Keep line on the PCB as short as possible since the antenna line loss shall be less than
around 0.3dB.
Maintenez la piste sur la carte aussi courte que possible, puisque la perte de la piste
d'antenne sera inférieure à 0.3dB.
• Line geometry should have uniform characteristics, constant cross section, avoid
meanders and abrupt curves.
La géométrie de la piste doit avoir des caractéristiques uniformes, une section
transversale constante, évitant les méandres et les courbes brusques.
• Any kind of suitable geometry/structure can be used for implementing the printed
transmission line afferent the antenna.
N'importe quel genre de géométrie/de structure appropriées peut être utilisée pour
mettre en place la piste de transmission afférente à antenne.
• 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.
Si un plan de masse est exigé ce plan doit être continu et suffisamment étendu afin que
la géométrie soit le plus semblable possible au modèle canonique exposé.
• 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.
Gardez, si possible, au moins une couche du PCB utilisée uniquement pour le plan de
masse ; Si possible, utilisez cette couche comme plan de masse de référence pour la
piste de transmission.

• 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.
Il est sage d'entourer (des deux côtés) la piste de transmission du PCB avec la masse, en
évitant d'avoir d'autres pistes de signal faisant face directement à la piste de l'antenne.
• Avoid crossing any un-shielded transmission line footprint with other tracks on
different layers.
Évitez de croiser toute empreinte non protégée avec d’autres pistes sur différentes
couches.
• 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.
La masse entourant la piste de l'antenne sur la carte doit être strictement relié au plan de
masse principal par l'intermédiaire de trous (une fois par 2mm au moins), placés près
des bords de la terre faisant face à la piste.
• Place EM noisy devices as far as possible from DE910-DUAL antenna line.
Placez les dispositifs bruyants EM aussi loin que possible de la piste de l’antenne du
DE910-DUAL.
• Keep the antenna line far away from the DE910-DUAL power supply lines.
Maintenez la piste de l'antenne loin des sources d'alimentation du DE910-DUAL.
• If EM noisy devices are present on the PCB hosting the DE910-DUAL, such as fast
switching ICs, take care of shielding them with a metal frame cover.
Si les dispositifs bruyants EM sont présent sur le PCB accueillant le DE910-DUAL, tel
qu’un commutateur rapide IC, prennez soin de le protéger avec un capot métallique.
• 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.
Si aucun dispositif bruyant EM n’est présent autour de la piste, l'utilisation de
géométrie comme la bande micro ou le guide d'ondes coplanaire sont recommandés,
puisqu'ils assurent typiquement moins d'atténuation comparé à une bande ayant la
même longueur.
6.3. CDMA Antenna installation Guidelines (Directives
d’installation de l’antenne CDMA)
• Install the antenna in a place covered by the CDMA signal.
Installez l'antenne dans un endroit couvert par le signal CDMA.
• 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.
Si le dispositif d'antenne est situé à une distance de plus de 20cm d’une personne et qu’
il n'y a aucun émetteur co-implanté alors les approbations FCC/IC de Telit peuvent être
réutilisées par la produit final.
• Antenna shall not be installed inside metal cases.

6.5. GPS Antenna Requirements
The use of an active GPS antenna is required to achieve better performance especially when
the GPS antenna distance from the module is quite high.
The module is provided with a Digital Output signal to enable the external LNA (pad R7).
6.5.1. Combined GPS Antenna
The use of combined CDMA/GPS antenna is not recommended. This solution could generate
extremely poor GPS reception and also the combined antenna requires additional diplexer and
adds a loss in the RF route.
6.5.2. Linear and Patch GPS 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.
6.5.3. LNA and Front End Design Considerations
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 external active antenna for the Telit DE910-DUAL device must fulfill the following
requirements:
GPS Antenna Requirements
Frequency range 1575.42MHz (GPS L1)
Bandwidth +/- 1.023MHz
Impedance 50 Ohm
When using the Telit DE910-DUAL, since there’s no antenna connector on the module, the
antenna must be connected to the DE910-DUAL through the PCB with the antenna pad.
In the case that the antenna is not directly connected at the antenna pad of the DE910-DUAL,
then a PCB line is required.

This line of transmission 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-DUAL ground
pads
Furthermore if the device is developed for the US and/or Canada market, it must comply with
the FCC and/or IC requirements.
This device is to be used only for mobile and fixed application.
6.5.4. GPS 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-DUAL antenna line.
• Keep the antenna line far away from the DE910-DUAL power supply lines.
• If EM noisy devices are around the PCB hosting the DE910-DUAL, 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-DUAL, use a strip line
on the superficial copper layer for the antenna line. The line attenuation will be lower
than a buried one.
6.5.5. GPS Antenna – Installation Guidelines
• The DE901-DUAL, due to its sensitivity characteristics, is capable of performing a fix
inside buildings. (In any case 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.

9. Serial Port
The serial port on the Telit DE910-DUAL is the interface between the module and OEM
hardware.
2 serial ports are available on the module:
• Modem Serial Port 1 (Main)
• Modem Serial Port 2 (Auxiliary)
Several configurations can be designed for the serial port on the OEM hardware.
The most common are:
• RS232 PC comport
• Microcontroller UART@1.8V(Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmit)
• Microcontroller UART@5V or other voltages different from 1.8V
Depending on the type of serial port on the OEM hardware, a level translator circuit may be
needed to make the system work.
Serial port 1 on DE910-DUAL is a +1.8V UART with all the 7 RS232 signals.
Serial port 2 is a +1.8V Auxiliary UART.
The electrical characteristics of the Serial ports are explained in the following tables:

NOTE:
For minimum implementation, only the TXD and RXD lines must be connected, the other
lines can be left open provided a software flow control is implemented.
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-DUAL when the module is powered off
or during an ON/OFF transition.
NOTE:
According to V.24, RX/TX signal names are referred to the application side. Therefore, on the
DE910-DUAL side these signal are on the opposite direction: TXD on the application side
will be connected to the receive line (here named TXD/ rx_uart ) of the DE910-DUAL serial
port and vice versa for RX.

9.2. Modem Serial Port 2
Serial port 2 on the DE910-DUAL is a +1.8V UART with only the RX and TX signals.
The signals of the DE910-DUAL serial port are:
PAD Signal I/O Function Type COMMENT
D15 TX_AUX O Auxiliary UART (TX Data to DTE) 1.8V Shared with SPI_MOSI
E15 RX_AUX I Auxiliary UART (RX Data to DTE) 1.8V Shared with SPI_MISO
NOTE:
Due to the shared pins, when the Modem Serial port is used, it is not possible to use the SPI
functions.
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-DUAL when the module is powered off
or during an ON/OFF transition.
9.3. RS232 Level Translation
In order to interface the Telit DE910-DUAL 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
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 in account to avoid
problems in case of High-speed rates on RS232.
The RS232 serial port lines are usually connected to a DB9 connector with the following
layout:

11. General Purpose I/O
The general-purpose I/O pads can be configured to act in three different ways:
• Input
• Output
• Alternate function (internally controlled)
Input pads can only be read and report the digital value (high or low) present on the pad at the
read time;
Output pads can only be written or queried and set the value of the pad output;
An alternate function pad is internally controlled by the DE9109-DUAL firmware and acts
depending on the function implemented.
The following GPIOs are available on the DE910-DUAL.

11.2. Using a GPIO Pad as Input
The GPIO pads, when used as inputs, can be connected to a digital output of another device
and report its status, provided this device has interface levels compatible with the 1.8V
CMOS levels of the GPIO.
If the digital output of the device is connected with the GPIO input, the pad has interface
levels different from the 1.8V CMOS. It can be buffered with an open collector transistor with
a 47KΩ pull-up resistor to 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 module when is powered OFF or during an
ON/OFF transition.

11.6. 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.
NOTE:
NO devices must be powered from this pin.
