GND
Signal Return
Must connect all GND pins to ground as they
also serve to remove heat from the module.
10
Volt
DC Power Output
3.4V DC output. Maximum load 5 mA. Turns
off when ENABLE is pulled low.
Leave unconnected if not used.
11
Run
Enable/Shutdown
TTL input that turns the module off and
reduces its power consumption to nearly
zero.
Hi=Enable, Low=Shut down module.
If left unconnected, module will stay in
ENABLE state.
