Synchronization Signal

The synchronization signal serves to indicate growing power consumption during the transmit
burst. The signal is generated by the SYNC pin (pin number 32). Please note that this pin
can adopt three different operating modes which you can select by using the AT^SSYNC
command: the mode AT^SSYNC=0 described below, and the two LED modes AT^SSYNC=1
or AT^SSYNC=2 described in [1] and Section 3.14.2.
The first function (factory default AT^SSYNC=0) is recommended if you want your
application to use the synchronization signal for better power supply control. Your platform
design must be such that the incoming signal accommodates sufficient power supply to the
TC65 module if required. This can be achieved by lowering the current drawn from other
components installed in your application.
The timing of the synchronization signal is shown below. High level of the SYNC pin
indicates increased power consumption during transmission.

The duration of the SYNC signal is always equal, no matter whether the traffic or the
access burst are active.
