Module power-on
When the LEXI-R422 modules are in the not-powered mode (i.e. the
VCC
module supply is not applied),
they can be switched on as follows:
•
Rising edge on the
VCC
input pins to a valid voltage level, and then a low logic level needs to be set
at the
PWR_CTRL
input pin for a valid time
When the LEXI-R422 modules are in the power-off mode (i.e. switched off) or in the Power Saving
Mode (PSM), with a valid
VCC
supply applied, they can be switched on as follows:
•
Low pulse on the
PWR_CTRL
pin for a valid time period
The
PWR_CTRL
input pin is equipped with an internal active pull-up resistor. Detailed characteristics
with voltages and timings are described in the LEXI-R422 data sheet
shows the module switch-on sequence from the not-powered mode, with following phases:
•
The external power supply is applied to the
VCC
module pins.
•
The
PWR_CTRL
pin is held low for a valid time.
•
All the generic digital pins are tri-stated until the switch-on of their supply source (
V_INT
).
•
The internal reset signal is held low: the baseband core and all digital pins are held in reset state.
•
When the internal reset signal is released, any digital pin is set in the correct sequence from the
reset state to the default operational configured state. The duration of this phase differs within
generic digital interfaces and USB interface due to host / device enumeration timings.
•
The module is ready to operate after all interfaces are configured.

☞
The Internal Reset signal is not available on a module pin, but it is highly recommended to monitor:
o
the
V_INT
pin, to sense the start of the LEXI-R422 module switch-on sequence
o
the
GPIO
pin configured to provide the module operating status indication (see AT commands
, +UGPIOC AT command), to sense when the module is ready to operate
☞
Before the switch-on of the generic digital interface supply (
V_INT
) of the module, no voltage
driven by an external application should be applied to any generic digital interface of the module.
☞
Before the LEXI-R422 module is ready to operate, the host application processor should not send
any AT command over AT communication interfaces of the module.
☞
The duration of the LEXI-R422 modules switch-on routine can largely vary depending on the
application / network settings and the concurrent module activities.
⚠
An abrupt removal of the
VCC
supply, or forcing an abrupt emergency reset by asserting the
PWR_CTRL
input, once the boot of LEXI-R422 modules has been triggered may lead to an
unrecoverable faulty state!
