3.3.3.4 Undervoltage Shutdown if no Battery NTC is Present
The undervoltage protection is also effective in applications, where no NTC connects to the
GSM_BATT_TEMP terminal. Thus, you can take advantage of this feature even though the
application handles the charging process or XT55/56 is fed by a fixed supply voltage. All you
need to do is executing the write command AT^SBC=<current> which automatically enables
the presentation of URCs. You do not need to specify <current>.
Whenever the supply voltage falls below the specified value (see Table 28) the URC
^SBC: Undervoltage
appears several times before the module switches off.
3.3.3.5 Overvoltage Shutdown
For overvoltage conditions, no software controlled shutdown is implemented. If the supply
voltage exceeds the maximum value specified in Table 28, loss of data and even
unrecoverable hardware damage can occur.
Keep in mind that several XT55/56 components are directly linked to GSM_BATT+ and,
therefore, the supply voltage remains applied at major parts of XT55/56. Especially the
power amplifier is very sensitive to high voltage and might even be destroyed.
