When EC25 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 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 reference circuit is illustrated in the following figure.
