5.2.2 Hardware Unconditional Restart
To unconditionally Shutdown the GM862-QUAD / PY the pin RESET# must be tied low for at least 200
milliseconds and then released.
The maximum current that can be drained from the RESET# pin is 0,15 mA.
A simple circuit to do it is:
NOTE: don't use any pull up resistor on the RESET# line nor any totem pole digital output. Using pull up resistor
may bring to latch up problems on the GM862-QUAD / PY power regulator and improper functioning of the module.
The line RESET# must be connected only in open collector configuration.
TIP: The unconditional hardware Restart should be always implemented on the boards and software should use it
as an emergency exit procedure.
