Table 5: Power Consumption
2.3.3.1.1
Power Down Mode (Minimum DC Power consumption)
A power down mode is available in which the module is placed in a low power consumption state under control of
the host application. In this mode, the unit consumes approximately 110 uA of current as measured from the
VCC_5V supply input and 4 uA of current as measured from the VCC_12V supply input. To activate this mode, the
Module_PWR_EN_B signal on pin 12 of the system connector pulled to a logic level 1, which puts the module into
the low power state. The module will stay in the low power state until the Module_PWR_EN_B signal is driven low
by an external open collector transistor in the application circuitry. Turning the external open collector transistor off
will cause the Module_PWR_EN_B signal to float high and turn the module off. The Module_PWR_EN_B line is
tied to VCC_5V through a 220k
Ω
pull-up resistor so the sink current in the external open collector transistor is
minimal.
