Table 8: Pin Definition of PWRKEY
When BG95 is in power off mode, it can be turned on to normal mode by driving the PWRKEY pin to a low
level for a duration between 500ms and 1000ms. It is recommended to use an open drain/collector driver
to control the PWRKEY. A simple reference circuit is illustrated in the following figure.

Another way to control the PWRKEY is using a button directly. When pressing the key, electrostatic strike
may generate from the finger. Therefore, a TVS component is indispensable to be placed nearby the
button for ESD protection. A reference circuit is shown in the following figure.
