System description

describes the TOBY-R2 series modules switch-off sequence started by means of the
AT+CPWROFF command, allowing storage of current parameter settings in the module’s non-volatile
memory and a proper network detach, with the following phases:
When the +CPWROFF AT command is sent, the module starts the switch-off routine.
The module replies OK on the AT interface: the switch-off routine is in progress.
At the end of the switch-off routine, all the digital pins are tri-stated and all the internal voltage
regulators are turned off, including the generic digital interfaces supply (V_INT), except the RTC
supply (V_BCKP).
Then, the module remains in switch-off mode as long as a switch on event does not occur (e.g.
applying a proper low level to the PWR_ON input, or applying a proper low level to the RESET_N
input), and enters not-powered mode if the supply is removed from the VCC pins.

☞
The Internal Reset signal is not available on a module pin, but the application can monitor the
V_INT pin to sense the end of the switch-off sequence.
☞
The VCC supply can be removed only after the end of the module internal switch-off routine,
i.e. only after that the V_INT voltage level has gone low.
☞
The duration of each phase in the TOBY-R2 series modules’ switch-off routines can largely vary
depending on the application / network settings and the concurrent module activities.
