5.1. Turning ON the GC864-QUAD V2 / GC864-DUAL V2
To turn the GC864-QUAD V2 / GC864-DUAL V2 on, the pad ON# must be tied low for
at least 1000ms and then released. A pulse duration less than 1000ms should also
start the power on procedure, but this is not guaranteed.
The maximum current that can be drained from the ON# pad is 0,1 mA.
A simple circuit to do it is:
TIP:
To check if the device has powered on, the hardware line PWRMON must be
monitored. After 1000ms the line raised up the device could be considered powered
on.
NOTE:
Do not use any pull up resistor on the ON# line, it is internally pulled up. Using pull
up resistor may bring to latch up problems on the GC864-QUAD V2 / GC864-DUAL V2
power regulator and improper power on/off of the module. The line ON# must be
connected only in open collector configuration.
In this document all the lines that are inverted, hence have active low signals are
labeled with a name that ends with a "#" or with a bar over the name.
