PWR_IND (Power Indicator)
notifies the module’s on/off
state.
PWR_IND is an open
collector that needs to be
connected to an external pull-
up resistor. Low state of the
open collector indicates that
the module is on. Vice versa,
high level notifies the Power-
down mode.
Therefore, the pin may be
used to enable external
voltage regulators which
supply an external logic for
communication with the
module, e.g. level converters.

by an open drain or open
collector driver.

Pull down ≥ 10ms
Falling edge resets module.
Reset function in case of
emergency: Pull down and
release EMERG_RST. Falling
edge will reset the module.
Data stored in the volatile
memory will be lost. For
orderly software controlled
reset rather use the
AT+CFUN command (e.g.
AT+CFUN=,1).
This line must be driven by
open drain or open collector.
If unused keep pin open.

Synchroni-
zation
SYNC O
n Tx = n x 577µs impulse each 4.616ms,
with ___µs forward time.
There are two alternative
options for using the SYNC
pin:
a) Indicating increased
current consumption during
uplink transmission burst.
Note that the timing of the
signal is different during
handover.
b) Driving a status LED to
indicate different operating
modes of TC65. The LED
must be installed in the host
application.
If unused keep pin open.
