TOBY-L3 series - System Integration Manual

Figure 15 describes the TOBY-L3 series modules’ proper normal switch-off sequence started by means of
the PWR_ON input pin, allowing storage of current parameter settings in the module’s non-volatile memory
and a clean network detach, with the following phases
A low pulse with the appropriate time duration is applied at the PWR_ON input (see TOBY-L3 series
Data Sheet [1], normal graceful switch-off), which is normally set high by an internal pull-up: the module
starts the switch-off routine when the PWR_ON signal is released from the low logical level.
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).
Then, the module remains in power-off mode as long as a switch-on event does not occur (i.e. applying
a suitable low level pulse to the PWR_ON input pin), 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 it is highly recommended to monitor the
V_INT pin to sense the end of the switch-off sequence.
⚠ VCC supply can be removed only after V_INT goes low: an abrupt removal of the VCC supply during
TOBY-L3 series modules normal operations may lead to an unrecoverable faulty state!
☞ The duration of each phase in the TOBY-L3 series modules’ switch-off routines can largely vary
depending on the application / network settings and the concurrent module activities.
