LTE Standard Module Series
EC200U_Series_Hardware_Design 27 / 94
Minimum
Functionality
Mode
AT+CFUN=0
can set the module to a minimum functionality mode without removing
the power supply. In this case, RF function will be invalid.
Airplane Mode
AT+CFUN=4
or W_DISABLE# can set the module to airplane mode. In this case, RF
function will be invalid.
Sleep Mode
In this mode, the current consumption of the module will be reduced to the minimal
level. In this mode, the module can still receive paging message, SMS, voice call and
TCP/UDP data from the network normally.
Power Down
Mode
In this mode, the power management unit (PMU) shuts down the power supply.
Software is not active, the serial interface is not accessible, while operating voltage
(connected to VBAT_RF and VBAT_BB) remains applied.
3.5. Power Saving
3.5.1. Sleep Mode
The module is able to reduce its current consumption to a minimum value in sleep mode. The following
section describes power saving procedures of the module.
3.5.1.1. UART Application
If the host communicates with module via UART interface, the following preconditions should be met to let
the module enter sleep mode.
⚫
Execute
AT+QSCLK=1
to enable sleep mode.
⚫
Drive MAIN_DTR to high level.
The following figure shows the connection between the module and the host.
