Recommendations for Less Consumption
For better power consumption, in particular for the quiescent current, it is recommended to drive the
GPIOs as shown in the table below.
Table 4. Consumption/Software Driver Recommendations
Signal
Pin
Number
I/O I/O Type Reset State
SW Driver Recommended (Output
State)
GPIO1 24 I/O 2V8 Pull up 1 logic level
GPIO3 16 I/O 2V8 Pull up 1 logic level
GPIO5 19 I/O 2V8 Z**
Input: 0 logic level
Output: 1logic level
GPIO2 is dedicated for WISMO_READY and is not open as GPIO purpose for customer use.
GPIO4 is dedicated for TX burst indication and is not open as GPIO purpose for customer use.
** When GPIO5 is used as a general purpose output, it is necessary to have an external pull up resistor connecting to a
2.8V source. Resistance value depends on the current drain required by the application side.
