Page 31: Table 23. Reset_In_N Electrical Characteristics
Product Technical Specification Detailed Interface Specifications Note: As RESET_IN_N is referenced to the VGPIO domain (internally to the module), it is impossible to reset before the module starts or to try to use RESET_IN_N as a way to start the module. Another more costly solution would be to use MOS transistor to switch the power supply off and restart the power up procedure using the PWR_ON_N input line. -
Page 32: Design Guidelines
If required, the module can be switched off by controlling the power supply. This can be used, for example, when the system freezes and no reset line is connected to the AirPrime HL8518, HL8528 and HL8529 modules. In this case, the only way to get control over the module back is to switch off the power line. -
