modes
Standby mode is the mode where only low power backup domain is running. It means VBAT
must always be maintained. It allows to have very low current consumption and fast GNSS
re-acquisition at the end of the standby time due to RTC.
Teseo-LIV3 offers 2 different ways of standby:
Hardware standby
Software standby
As IO buffers are not supplied during standby mode, it is important to keep all IO without
external voltage to avoid any current leakage. UART_RX is an exception it can be left high.
5.1 Software
standby
Software standby is activated by the binary for periodic standby. More details of how to set it
are in the Software Manual. As HW standby, all supplies are kept ON.
Periodic fixes are from 5 s up to 24 hours between 2 fixes.
It ensures a current below 20 µA on Teseo-LIV3. Be careful that VCC_RF is ON during this
standby, then in case of active antenna or external LNA, it is important to switch them OFF.
5.2 Hardware
standby
This standby is ensured by switching OFF VCC (pin 8) and VCC_IO (pin 7) supplies and
setting SYS_RESETn (pin 9) to 0 V. It can be activated asynchronously from GNSS binary
with one GPIO switching OFF the supplies from a host.
During this standby only VBAT (pin 6) is kept ON.
It ensures a current below 15 µA. During this standby mode VCC_RF (pin 14) is OFF.
