5.7. Electrostatic Discharge
The module is not protected against electrostatics discharge (ESD) in general. Consequently, it is subject
to ESD handling precautions that typically apply to ESD sensitive components. Proper ESD handling and
packaging procedures must be applied throughout the processing, handling and operation of any
application that incorporates the module.
The following table shows the module
’s electrostatic discharge characteristics.
Table 28: Electrostatic Discharge Characteristics
It is recommended to add a 100nF capacitor to RESET_N and PWRDWN_N pins respectively to improve
ESD performance.
