Table 7: PWRKEY Pin Description
When EG06 is in power down mode, it can be turned on to normal mode by driving the PWRKEY pin to a
low level for at least 500ms. It is recommended to use an open drain/collector driver to control the
PWRKEY. After STATUS pin outputs a high level, PWRKEY pin can be released. A simple reference
circuit is illustrated in the following figure.

Another way to control the PWRKEY is using a button directly. When pressing the key, electrostatic strike
may generate from finger. Therefore, a TVS component is indispensable to be placed nearby the button
for ESD protection. A reference circuit is shown in the following figure.
