3.3.1 Module Start-up

3.3.1.1 Start-up Circuit

The module start-up pin FUL_CARD_POWER_OFF# requires external pull-up 18.V voltage (VDD_1V8

provided externally), and the module has two start-up modes:



AP (Application Processor) controls the module start-up, and the circuit design is shown in

Figure 3-4:

 Automatically start-up when powered on, and the circuit design is shown in Figure 3-5:

Figure 3- 4 Circuit for Module Start-up Controlled by AP

H380-GL Hardware User Manual Page26of

Figure 3- 5 Circuit for Automatic Start-up

3.3.1.2 Start-up Timing

After the module is powered on, when the FUL_CARD_POWER_OFF# signal pulls up and exceeds 20ms

(the recommended value is 100ms), the module starts up. Meanwhile, VSD2_1V8 inside the module

outputs 1.8V voltage, and the module begins the process of start-up initialization. The start-up timing is

shown in Figure 3-6:

Figure 3-6 Start-up Timing Control Diagram

Note:

VSD2_1V8 is a PMU inside the module, it outputs 1.8V voltage and has not been led out via M.2

interface, the appearance of this voltage in timing chart is mainly purposed to facilitate the

understanding of timing;

RESET# is required to delay its pull-up for 1s compared with +3.3V, because the module needs

time for power-on of +3.3V power supply (capacitor charging). If +3.3V maintains as ordinary

power supply, then the delay time is negligible.

H380-GL Hardware User Manual Page27of

3.3.2 Module Shutdown

The module supports two shutdown modes as shown below:

Shutdown

Pull down

FUL_CARD_POWER_OFF#

When software shutdown is unavailable in case

of module abnormity

3.3.2.1 Software Shutdown

AT+CPWROFF command can be sent to shut down the module.

When the module receives software shutdown command, the module starts ending process (finalization,

a reverse process of initialization), and the module completes shutdown after about 3s. When ending

process, the module will save the parameters such as network and SIM card in the memory, and then

empty the memory, and switch off PMU power supply. After shutdown, VSD2_1V8 voltage inside the

module will also switch off. The software shutdown timing is shown in Figure 3-7:

Figure 3-7 Software Shutdown Timing Control Diagram

After the completion of software shutdown, FUL_CARD_POWER_OFF# still remains at high level, at this

moment, the module will not start up again. To facilitate the next start-up of the module,

FUL_CARD_POWER_OFF# should be pulled down first.

Note:

VSD2_1V8 is a PMU inside the module, it outputs 1.8V voltage and has not been led out via M.2

interface, the appearance of this voltage in timing chart is mainly purposed to facilitate the

understanding of timing.

H380-GL Hardware User Manual Page28of

3.3.2.2 Hardware Shutdown

By pulling down FUL_CARD_POWER_OFF# for more than 10ms (the recommended value is 100ms),

the power management unit (PMU) of the module powers down, and then the module achieves hardware

shutdown. The PMU of the module powers down when pulling down FUL_CARD_POWER_OFF#, the

module may be damaged after several start-ups and shutdowns; therefore, RESET# pin shall be pulled

down for 100ms before pulling down FUL_CARD_POWER_OFF#. The hardware shutdown control timing

is shown in Figure 3-8:

Figure 3- 8 Hardware Shutdown Control Timing

Note:

VSD2_1V8 is a PMU inside the module, it outputs 1.8V voltage and has not been led out via M.2

interface, the appearance of this voltage in timing chart is mainly purposed to facilitate the

understanding of timing.

3.3.3 Module Reset

The module supports reset function. Pulling down RESET# signal for more than 10ms (the recommended

value is 100ms) can reset the module to the initial state, and the module restarts after releasing RESET#.

When performing Reset function, PMU inside the module will not power down. The recommended circuit

design is shown in Figure 3-9:

H380-GL Hardware User Manual Page29of

Figure 3- 9 Recommended Design of Reset Circuit

The control timing of RESET is shown in Figure 3-10:
