2A at least. If the voltage drop between the input and output is not too high, it is suggested to use a LDO
to supply power for module. If there is a big voltage difference between the input source and the desired
output (VBAT), a buck converter is preferred to be used as a power supply.
The following figure shows a reference design for +5V input power source. The designed output for the
power supply is about 3.8V and the maximum load current is 3A.

When UC20 is in power down mode, it can be turned on to normal mode by driving the PWRKEY pin to a
low level at least 100ms. It is recommended to use an open drain/collector driver to control the PWRKEY.
After STATUS pin (require external pull-up) outputting a low level, PWRKEY pin can be released. A simple
