NOTE: In order to prevent a back powering effect it is recommended to avoid having any HIGH logic level signal applied to the digital pins of the GL865 V3/V3.1 when the module is powered off or during an ON/OFF transition.
HW User Guide Fast SYSHALT the GL865 V3/V3.1 The procedure to power OFF of module described in Chapter 5.2, normally takes up to 10 second to de-attach the network and internal filesystem properly closed. The Fast SYSHALT feature permits to reduce the current consumption and the time-to- power SYSHALT to minimum values.
Page 20
HW User Guide Typical timings are reported in the plot above when testing the example circuit with Ctank=47mF. The capacitor is rated with the following formula: Where 80mA is a typical current during fast SYSHALT procedure, 300ms is the typical time to execute the system halt and 0.5V is the minimum voltage margin from threshold of hardware reset.
It shall be kept as an emergency exit procedure to be done in the rare case that the device gets stuck waiting for some network or SIM responses. To unconditionally reboot the GL865 V3/V3.1, the pad RESET* must be tied low for at least 200 milliseconds and then released.
