1.6.1.2
Switch-on sequence from not-powered mode
shows the switch-on sequence of SARA-N2 modules starting from the non-powered mode:
•
The external supply is being applied to the
VCC
inputs, representing the start-up event.
•
The
RESET_N
line rises suddenly to high logic level due to internal pull-up to
VCC
.
•
Then, the
V_INT
generic digital interfaces supply output is enabled by the integrated PMU.
•
The
RXD
UART data output pin also rises to the high logic level, at
VCC
voltage value
•
A greeting message is sent on the
RXD
pin (for more details see AT commands manual
•
From now on the module is fully operational and the UART interface is functional

Figure 8: SARA-N2 series power-on sequence from not-powered mode
shows the switch on sequence of SARA-N3 modules starting from the non-powered mode:
•
The external supply is being applied to the
VCC
inputs.
•
The
PWR_ON
and
RESET_N
lines rise suddenly to high logic level due to internal pull-up.
•
Then, the
PWR_ON
line is set low for a proper time period, representing the start-up event.
•
Then, the
V_INT
generic digital interfaces supply output is enabled by the integrated PMU.
•
The
RXD
UART data output pin also rises to the high logic level, at
V_INT
voltage value.

☞
No voltage driven by an external application should be applied to the UART interface of the module
before applying the
VCC
supply, to avoid latch-up of circuits and allow a proper boot of the module.
☞
No voltage driven by an external application should be applied to any generic digital interface of
the module (GPIOs, I2C interface) before the switch-on of the generic digital interface supply
source of the module (
V_INT
), to avoid latch-up of circuits and allow a proper boot of the module.
